@beckysblank Sorry about that. It's stuff like this that reminds me that Twitter is a lousy medium for discussion that strives to provoke thoughtful debate ☹️ Everything and everyone ends up getting condensed into a oneliner. Oh, well. At least it's a good source of reading material.

Americans, Trump is now dismantling and shutting the worlds most important center for weather research: The National Center for Atmospheric Research. This is destruction and attack on science on a global scale! Why are you not more angry!? https://t.co/gnucuFoixM

The amount of times Americans have told me to “stay out of the gun control debate” because I’m Australian is incredibly high, and i normally wouldn’t weigh in on this kind of thing on this platform… But now that this has happened on home soil, and we see creatures like this

The unsung heroes of our time

I don't think there is a better picture to describe social media.

Rare footage! Thousands of Chinese vessels are swarming right at the border of Peru's 200 NM EEZ. But why are they stopping at the demarcation line? Bcz they all will turn off their AIS to enter others' EEZ, which makes them untraceable. They operate illegally in other waters,

On this day, 31 years ago, Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum. Under this agreement, Ukraine relinquished the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances from the United States, the United Kingdom, and russia. Before the Memorandum was signed,

Rubio is completely twisting the facts. The EU fine has nothing to do with “censoring Americans” or going after U.S. citizens. The penalty was issued because X broke basic transparency and consumer-protection rules: selling misleading blue checkmarks, hiding required advertising

I just sponsored pybricks, hoping for them to revive my Lego NXT! 😄 Go sponsor your open source dependencies! https://t.co/88rooq6jHP

Trump's pardons another fellow convict and undermines DEA's efforts at prosecuting corrupt foreign leaders that get rich on drug trafficking. Again, the orange baffoon is making a mockery out of the US in international circles. Corruption in the open. https://t.co/2BHHdHqwWC

Asylum seeker gets refuge in April 2025 - after Trump got elected. Response from Trump: it's Sleepy Joe's fault, and orders a reexamination of all asylums granted during Biden's term (not this) 🙃 How does the #maga crowd not see through this charade? US politics is such a 💩📺

Russia keeps on luring people from Iraq, Senegal and other places "far away" to Russia. They think they are going to be drivers, perform as singers, and next day they are at the front line. https://t.co/ozK2q2turb

Google's new code wiki seems awesome. https://t.co/RvBew7NEfC

The Progressive Complexity Manifesto by Loren Stewart is a great guideline to does away with the binary choice between SPA and static sites. 5 levels of increasing complexity. Totally agree that most would be fine on L2 (SSR+HTMX). It's a lost art. https://t.co/n60jdJ28ry

Looking for a great book on #AI and what it means for us? Well, look no further. Inga Strümke's bestseller is in a new English language edition from January! https://t.co/OLaPff8FxZ

Fond of shell scripts, cheeky one-liners invoking sed, awk and jq on your json or CSV dumps? 100x performance with Clickhouse: `clickhouse local --query " SELECT LENGTH(data) AS len, count() AS c FROM FILE('consignments.txt', TSV, 'data String') GROUP BY len ORDER BY c DESC"`

The Republican party used to have backbone and instinctively react to tyrants. What happened? #KingTrump has absolutely no shame whatsoever. #gop #MAGA

Justice! @Grindr forced to pay 65 million NOK (about 6,5 Mill USD) fine as it lost the second round of legal battles against the Norwegian state after being found guilty of disclosing sensitive data of its European users, in breach of the GDPR. https://t.co/TneNdjmzKg

Pete Hegseth is a complete and utter embarrassment and dishonor to our military. "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill

@krassenstein Pete Hegseth knows nothing about combat. This post will tell you all you need to know about him: https://t.co/mWK4P6h88l

If @DOGE wants to cut government waste, start with axing the moron funding the non-profitable coal industry. You'll save some voter lives while doing so, too.
