"Anything signed by Biden with an autopen is legally invalid" has a lot of the same energy as the "sovereign citizens" who claim they don't have to pay taxes because the IRS has the wrong kind of flag flying outside its building.

check out how quickly #GitPages (and #Grebedoc) can check out a giant git repository without any changes!

if supported by the server, it retrieves only a single tree from git (no other branches, no tags, no history, no file contents), backfills it from the existing site contents, and then pulls in any missing files from the git server on-demand

this lets you publish very large repositories as static sites without straining network and compute (for compression, etc) resources!

Here’s a nice challenge for 2026.

1. Print one of these.
2. Fold it in half a couple of times and keep it with you.
3. Each day, jot down one thing that made you feel joy (or something for which you feel grateful).

At the end of the year, you’ll have something truly special. :prami_hearts:

So with Cohost shutting down in about 24 hours, a note to every remaining social media site: You should totally rip off the "Following" pane.

Cohost had a view where (as alternative to the normal linear feed), it showed everyone you follow, sorted by last post, and you could click to see recent posts. A problem with social media is the more you post, the more space you take up. Cohost "Following" made everyone take up the same amount of space, while still prioritizing recency. A nice compromise

The US military does not follow US law. It has it's own law code and it's own courts, procedures, and police to enforce and administer justice within the various military branches. This military justice is defined and presided over by the Judge Advocate General and his subordinate Judge Advocates.

The very first thing that Hegseth did upon becoming the Secretary of Defense was to fire all of the Judge Advocates.

It should have been clear from the beginning that Hegseth intended to break the law.

"We should be having a conversation about Trump’s increasingly clear diminished mental capacity. This is a man … with the sole launch authority for the nation’s nuclear weapons who, on a daily basis, seems increasingly more disconnected from reality, beholden to conspiracy thinking, and — most simply — absent-minded. It is not a recipe for global stability — and deserves more serious conversation than its getting."
