This broke containment (yay). I'm proud I didn't read the Hacker News comments and dwell (ha).

And shout out to me again for publishing a piece that sat in my drafts since August 2025.

Virality is a double edged sword. It's motivating to know *someone* read your words. And it's stifling because you want the next thing you publish to be perfect for that reader in your head.

Anyway, things are weird for me currently. Your readership makes it a little better. Ty.

"The evidence here made clear that President Trump was by a large measure the most culpable and most responsible person in this conspiracy... These crimes were committed for his benefit. The attack that happened at the Capitol, part of this case, does not happen without him. The other co-conspirators were doing this for his benefit."

"Smith said one reason he felt confident in the strength of the case that prosecutors had prepared to take to trial was the extent to which it relied on Republican supporters of Trump."

"Under questioning, Smith described what he said was a wide-ranging conspiracy to overturn the results of the election that Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden and alleged how the Republican refused to listen to advisers who told him that the contest had in fact not been stolen. After he was charged, Smith said, Trump tried to silence and intimidate witnesses."

Seven House Democrats broke ranks to continue funding ICE:

"House Democratic leadership didn’t whip on this issue. Meaning, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) explicitly told the tiny band of seven ICE-holes that they would face no penalty for 14-handedly thwarting the will of the party and its voters."

In other words, they sent 7 sacrifices so the could keep their hands clean. https://thefuckingnews.substack.com/p/no-justice-just-ice

I kept seeing UK media pretend that the Nordic deployment to Greenland was to shore up defences against Russia and China.

Meanwhile the Danish soldiers were given live ammunition and told to expect that the US would try to take Greenland by force

a lot of fedi platforms are designed to be alternatives to existing mainstream platforms, which is fine. but what I wanna see is more experimental fedi platforms!! I wanna see ones that play with all sorts of new ideas about how we can socialize online!

there's so much possibility once you start thinking beyond the basic text/image/video post feed format. we could come up with some seriously funky stuff, & it would be FUN
