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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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
