Congress needs to reclaim its rightful role in declaring war. We all know this and yet somehow we’ve let one man control far too much. 🇺🇸

Cool little aside in Marcin Wichary’s How to shoot a screen using a board of keys: Acorn 8, a graphic app, has a delightful screenshotting feature parked under ⌘⇧7 that does something incredible: it takes a screenshot, but does so in a way where windows are separate layers, grouped by app. It’s amazing; you can […]

2022: "And while we were effectively silenced in the public debate, men do vote and that's a private thing."

Another point -- I don't think any of us realize what an un-democratic US will be like. When the things that make us furious these days are just the normal way of the USA. I got that from listening to a New Yorker podcast yesterday about the Iranian perspective of what's happ...

If you want to heal the country, watch out for ways you add division, and stop. It's probably the biggest power any of us has.
