The tone of this, too — the eye-rolling, soft-smirking, “anyone who disagrees with me is just an ignorant child” tone — is so emblematic of a pundit class that mistakes deference to power for maturity and sees the willingness to speak truth as gross naïveté.
My hot take is that Lindsey Graham did many contemptible things but if you’re furious that his Senate Democratic colleagues are posting nice things about him today you need to put down your phone, get some fresh air, and remember a time when a colleague you disliked departed this mortal coil.
People are saying it's poor planning to tell people to shelter in buildings that are closed because it's a Saturday and a holiday but they probably assumed this J6 fanbase didn't need explicit instructions on how to break into a federal building
How is the backup plan parading into the department of commerce?
This is the one true recipe for a Reflecting Pool: 2oz rum, 4oz pineapple juice, 1oz blue curacao, one Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up
Y’all need to understand that I’ve blocked my own grandmother. For real. None of you are safe.
Cuz ppl growing more conservative a they age isn't just the natural state of things, it's a result of a lifetime of accrued enfranchisement in the social and economic contract. If your buy-in is rewarded, you see no point in agitating to change the system. Rewards have been withheld for ~20 years.
What makes you think that Woke 2.0 will actually happen?

Surprising no one, things did not in fact go according to plan.
This is not the time for wild speculation about what happened. It’s time to bet on Kalshi about what happened
Victor Orban’s biggest mistake? Not going on Joe Rogan.
How tf else am I gonna get the good restaurants? From a purely selfish perspective. Lol.

Next.js Deployment Adapters: A bright future for Next.js on Google Cloud
News, tutorials, and updates from the Firebase team.
firebase.blog
After years of working in silos, in 2024 @netlify.com, @cloudflare.social, OpenNext, Google @firebase.com, and the @nextjs.org team at @vercel.com built bridges. We started discussing how to truly solve for full portability of Next.js. And we kept at it. Today marks a culmination of this work.
Next.js Across Platforms: Adapters, OpenNext, and Our Commitments
Next.js 16.2 introduces a stable Adapter API, a public adapter test suite, and a working group for more consistent deployment across platforms.
nextjs.org
The Next.js Adapter API is now stable. That’s a big step toward running @nextjs.org across platforms. However, there's still work ahead and that's why we're forming the Ecosystem Working Group. @philippeserhal.com shares what’s next: www.netlify.com/blog/the-nex...

God invented communists so Dwight D. Eisenhower could build this, a biblically-accurate drawing of an angel.

I Am The God Of Your Children. I Am The Final Parent.
Hi, friends! Today, I’d like to talk to the grown-ups. I know it’s not easy raising children. Looking after little ones is a lot of work, and sometimes you just need a moment to breathe. So you plop y...

Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyonce are three of the most globally popular artists rn. We are so lucky they are so smart and work so hard to use their art to teach cultural history lessons through music, dance, and visually magnificent sets when they could just stand there in jorts and lip sync.
Elon not being happy despite having all the money is like someone losing at a game in tutorial mode, which he also does
Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire. It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.
"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
I can’t stress this enough. The state of 4th Amendment law is that the cops can’t force you to type in a passcode but they can force you to swipe your finger or present your face. Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps
ummmm you don't understand, MY family came here legally. They had to meet rigorous requirements like, "get on a boat", and "don't shit yourself to death on the boat before it gets there"
If Democrats really want to have a big tent party that can win in 2028, they will have to make room for people who support having masked secret police indiscriminately murder American citizens.
the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with “this was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcement” knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone
