An FBI raid in Fulton County resulting in the seizure of 2020 ballots and voter data should alarm us all. It’s not just about Trump re-litigating an election he lost. It’s an ominous sign of what to expect from the 2026 election. My write-up in the replies.

My fellow Canadians, if you want to be part of the USA, you can move there freely on your own. I encourage you to do so.

"To go to a foreign country and to ask for assistance in breaking up Canada, there's an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is treason," said Eby ahead of the meeting.

B.C. premier says Alberta separatists seeking assistance from U.S. is 'treason' | CBC News

British Columbia Premier David Eby says Alberta separatists meeting with the Trump administration for financial backing is an act of treason and an issue he'll raise as the premiers gather with the prime minister in Ottawa on Thursday.

1/ I wonder how the courts will square the circle when someone shoots an ICE or Border Patrol agent stating they had the right to do so under the 2A against the backdrop of laws and consequences of shooting federal agents.

Since the 2A advocates will argue the entire point of having the right to bear arms is to protect oneself from government tyranny.

What happens when someone actually does that?

だからイギリスの人たちにとってプーは100年ずっと大切な存在で居続けたし…

ディズニーがそれをアニメにした当時批判が上がったのも当然。

いちプーファンとして、、この根底の背景は絶対忘れないようにしたいなと勝手に思う。 x.com/i/status/201681708780587

LLMs do not meaningfully "refactor" at anything other than a junior engineering level. They can basically do some window dressing and move code around between files. True refactoring means creating new abstractions, which LLMs can't do because they can't form world-models.

🗓️ Exactly three weeks ago imposed a national internet blackout to obscure civilian killings. Whitelisting and heavy filtering are still in effect.

The incident is among the most severe of its kind on record, exceeded in duration only during civil war in Myanmar and Sudan.

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 2, 2026, to January 29, 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains normal most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8, when connectivity falls from above 90% to near zero. Connectivity remains almost entirely offline for an extended period, with only minimal and sporadic activity, before a partial restoration appears at the end of the period on January 27 under heavy filtering. A red horizontal arrow labelled “SHUTDOWN” marks the duration of the disruption, with an annotation on the top right reading “filtered intermittent connectivity.” The disruption aligns with a nationwide internet shutdown imposed by authorities amid unrest. The minimum and current connectivity levels are shown as 1% and 95%, respectively. The chart has a dark background and includes the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner.
