Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis
In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.
The red state invasion that worsened chicago gun violence
President Trump's eager deployment of federal and federalized troops is ostensibly rooted in fighting crime. Maybe he actually believes that; he did apparently see some footage from 2020 on the TV and argue that it actually represents the current environment in Portland. But it's almost certainly mostly a pretext. He's...

Atari's original PONG arcade game has an interesting design: No microprocessor or program; the whole game logic and signal generation are hard-wired from sixty-some TTL chips. So, when I got my hands on an original 1972 PONG circuit board, I wanted to build a playable cabinet around it, but also display the board with its surprisingly low-integration components.
Trump administration abruptly removes vice chair of the NTSB
The removal of the vice chair of the independent safety board is highly unusual and comes as the agency is investigating several high-profile calamities.
I tried to figure out what I was going to do. In my mind, I had been playing football since I was nine years old and now it’s like ‘Okay, now what? How do I respond? Where do I go from here?’ Because for most of my life everything had been centered around football. I was in a place where I was just trying to find myself.
The End Result of My Herculean Big Bang Theory Spec
Author’s Note: This is the first newsletter where I’m reposting a piece I wrote that’s no longer hosted on the internet. My archive is pretty solid because I always figured this would happen eventually. In the future, I’ll probably be paywalling archival stuff unless it’s insanely popular.
This story is tough to explain if you weren’t following me ten years ago, but it basically goes like this: I went to Pepperdine, and through Pepperdine I knew a bunch of aspiring comedy writers. A hip thing
Trump Makes It Very Clear They’re Going To Turn TikTok Into A Right Wing Propaganda Machine
After years of hyperventilation about TikTok’s impact on privacy, propaganda, and national security, TikTok is likely being sold to a bunch of Trump’s billionaire technofascist buddies …
Let's be realistic: DHH isn't going anywhere. He owns the trademarks, he controls the Rails Foundation, he sits on the board of Shopify, and he doesn't give a shit about you. In fact, he seems positively giddy at the idea of people being driven away by his occasionally repugnant blog posts and xeets. I'm sure he'd very much like an ideologically pure userbase for Rails, the same way he'd love for Britain to only contain native brits, wink wink. If that means the "Rails community" becomes a small stagnant pool of people getting paid to cheer for him and Tobi, that's clearly a price he's willing to pay! He'll be staying on, whether you like it or not.

‘I couldn’t look’: European farmers on losing crops as the industry collides with worsening drought
Global heating means annual drought losses across Europe could reach €17.5bn. Shipping and power generation are also being affected by low water levels
I wish I had a time machine so I could go back in time and talk to my dad in 1988, just before I was born, and tell him what it’s like to live in the future. I’d tell him all the amazing things that are happening. Francis Ford Coppola is still working but it’s weird and he can’t get financing. The Rolling Stones are still together. Ringo Starr’s new album is better than you’d think. David Letterman has this huge beard and wants to look like a cross between a billionaire and a moonshiner. There’s
Is there anyway to set the content-disposition header for puts to S3? I'm finding that the a download attribute is not honored unless I manually update the metadata for objects in the S3 bucket on...
As soon as I was old enough to travel on my own, London was where I wanted to go. Compared to Copenhagen at the time, there was something so majestic about Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even the Tube around the turn of the millenium. Not just because their capital is twice as old as ours, but because it endured twice as much, through ...
