Trump Tirades about Shooting Get Darker as Polls Turn Brutal on ICE

Donald Trump is going all in on the lunacy that the Minneapolis shooting should prompt a crackdown on the left. He unleashed ugly tirades on this, claiming the protests are “fake” and that officials are investigating their financial backers. He also lied ...

Remembering Jesus Ornelas

Today we honored the passing of Jesus Ornelas, the father of my friend Rene, whom I’ve known for 28 years now. At the service outpouring of love expressed in words, music, and presence was so powerful. Alongside his biological sons, I said a few words, which are as follows. My memories of Mr. Ornelas begin … Continue reading Remembering Jesus Ornelas

The Fight on Capitol Hill to Make It Easier to Fix Your Car

As vehicles grow more software-dependent, repairing them has become harder than ever. A bill in the US House called the Repair Act would ease those restrictions, but it comes with caveats.

The Steel Curtain Finally Falls On Mike Tomlin

The Steel Curtain Finally Falls On Mike Tomlin
After limping into the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers suffered another first-round loss. After months—years, really—of intense scrutiny of his job, head coach Mike Tomlin has decided to "step down" from the position he's held for 19 years. Like a cowboy at the end of a we...

I had a fantastic meeting today with Jonathan Desrosiers. I gave him a tour of all the software that makes up WordLand and FeedLand. It was the first time I had done that with anyone from the WordPress community. It started off with a simple story about how I knew I was on the right track when Matt announced they were porting Tumblr to run on top of WordPress as an OS. Which is exactly what I'm doing with my collection of software. Every bit of writing should be a WordPress post, and they should be linked together in arbitrary graphs. It was nice to do that with a serious developer, Jonathan is one of the lead developers of the open source WordPress. It helped me see all the different things we can do, and now hope we will do. I feel I understand this community, as a time-traveler from the past I think I understand what we should do next (and I have done it heh).

When I switched to the iPhone Pro Max, I gave up my iPad Mini, thinking the larger iPhone is good enough most of the time, and I’ve got the Kindle for reading. With AI-assisted coding, maybe the iPad has a new role… Jotting down ideas or firing off coding tasks to run from anywhere without a Mac.

CloudBees CEO: Why Migration Is a Mirage Costing You Millions

In The New Stack Makers podcast, CloudBees CEO Anuj Kapur describes this pattern as “the migration mirage,” where organizations chase modernization through costly migrations that push value further into the future.

A recent survey shows that, last year, 57% of enterprise organizations spent over $1 million on migration projects — with

Any sort of consternation around the Apple and Google deal for Gemini in Siri is severely misplaced. Apple hasn’t lost. If anything, this is a modern day “Microsoft” moment where they get a much needed boost from their top competitor. They’ll productize Gemini better than anyone else.

This Worm Is A Millennial

This Worm Is A Millennial
Sometime in the late 1990s, an adult ribbon worm was scooped up from the murk in the waters off the San Juan Islands, in the Pacific Northwest. He was moved to a tank along with a smattering of other invertebrates, including two vermilion bat stars and approximately 30 beige...

Are ICE officers doing what they’re trained to do?

washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/are-ice-officers-doing-what-theyre-trained-to-do/?tid=aud_rsslink&utm_source=podcasts&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=post-reports

Conflicting narratives of Renée Good’s killing in Minneapolis have quickly emerged – federal officials claim the ICE officer who shot her was acting in self-defense, while others believe her death was easily avoidable and that ICE’s tactics are overly aggressive. 

Host Martine Powers speaks with immigration reporter Maria Sacchetti about how law enforcement officials are scrutinizing the shooting and what accountability in this case could look like.
