A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

I got 9/10 on the Laravel Senior Developer practice exams. Maybe I should do the full thing.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country?
Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide.
It undermines police and the law.
Jakob Engel-Schmidt told the Guardian: “In the bill we agree & are sending an unequivocal message that everybody has the right to their own body, their own voice and their own facial features, which is apparently not how the current law is protecting people against generative AI.”
In the seeing-stone's dark glass, billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel's gaze replaces Sauron's — Palantir, a corporate eye that hoards your every secret, dissects it, and forges it into chains of power. (source: https://molieresloge.substack.com/p/the-digital-cage )
Broligarchs promise revolution—but deliver chains. When so many #Palantir employees walk away and say this, listen closely:
“Big Tech, including Palantir, is increasingly complicit, normalizing #authoritarianism under the guise of a ‘revolution’ led by oligarchs. We must #resist.”

Star Trek / Mr Spock: LIVE LONG AND PROSPER
Wealth ≠ money. It’s control of real resources. If the ultra-rich own all the land, energy, and tools, then you—and your government—own nothing. Without ownership, you can’t feed, house, heal, or create. Ownership isn’t just power—it’s survival.

Very interested in your experience with the Fairphoine.
My S21 Ultra is still going strong, though I just took off the protective case and am surprised to find that it's smooth and slippery as hell. It keeps sliding off surfaces when I put it down.

It's what Truss and Kwarteng attempted to do over here.

A billion is stolen time—obscene hoarding of wealth that could end poverty, cure plagues, save the planet isn’t success—it’s violent theft. Money is power, stripped from collective dignity. Billionaires aren’t geniuses—they’re sickness, parasites gorging on stolen time. Abolish this cruelty. Wake up
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Gah! Getting increasingly frustrated with MacOs launching the Music app whenever I put my headphones on for a meeting.
What a relief to find NoTunes that can be installed using HomeBrew and stops this invasive Dark Pattern in its tracks.

It's nice to have options
Carmakers, meanwhile, claim that there’s no reason to worry about harms from oversized cars b/c new tech will prevent crashes entirely.
In Slate, I called bullshit.
The only way to eliminate car bloat’s harms: Stop building needlessly gigantic vehicles.

I've had a productive Christmas break, upgrading the Nova Advanced Image field to be #Laravel11 #Nova5 #PHP8.4 compliant.
It's the first time I have released a composer package so it's been an amazing experience going through the process. Here's to many more 🥂
