Yes, It’s Fascism - The Atlantic:

"For another, the term has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action."

Framing their very late and muddled epiphany that this is fascism as some heroic act, while still somehow blaming leftists for being alarmists, I mean 🤌 chefs kiss. Centrists really are on a whole other level ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2026/01/26/yes-its-fascism-the-atlantic.html

The Publishing Maintenance Working Group (PMWG) ran a survey in the publishing community to ask a question about a topic that has been lurking in our backlog for several years: should we allow HTML in EPUB? Read about the results and what's next.

Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.

ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.

Hoping this improves, but seeing the first page of "featured" blogs consisting of 16 white men and just 2 women is pretty depressing.

Also, blogs never went anywhere, so the name "Blogs Are Back" is rubbing me the wrong way.

I wonder how cheap something like that could be made

Amazing to me that we're approaching 4,600 songs shared on Crucial Tracks and 90% of them are unique.

Just proves how powerful music is as an art form, communication/connection/empathy tool, and completely subjective and personal. I've definitely learned a ton through this project. Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far... 😄

I'm going to give #Qobuz a try as an alternative to #Tidal so there's one less subscription going to a US company. The last.fm integration seems to be working and all my music seems to be there. Wish the app icon on iOS was a bit prettier since it's going on my task bar...

My very good friend is Minnesotan. They're a unique bunch. Very kind. Very badass.

What they're doing out there is tough and brave. They absolutely deserve our gratitude.

I need to do #3GoodThings tonight.

1. Stumbling on an old forum. A moment in time, frozen. It's always surreal in a good way.

2. A heavy cotton hoodie in that boxy cut that the kids like (or liked idk). I love a good hoodie.

3. Florida thunderstorms. They can last for hours. Waking up in the middle of the night because it's just thundering like crazy is somehow nice and cozy to me.

Like, at what point do we get to say that Dems aren't just spineless, they're co-conspirators in the rise of fascism? Because that is 100% the story history will tell. There are no mighty moderates of history. Just the cooptation of dead radicals.

Sure, Dems rather it not be fascism. But when it comes down to it, they'll choose fascism over democratic socialism every time because the latter will hurt their stock portfolios.
