“You're unhappy that your economy doesn't work for you. You don't have freedom. You don't have an opportunity to express yourself. You've got friends that have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to see that these people are abused this way and have no measure to take actions against their own government as a result of it. [...] Right now you have a country that is unlawfully, illegally, and criminally taking possession of an international water way and blowing up commercial vessels and putting mines in the water. I dont know if people understand how outrageous, how unacceptable it is that any country would fire and try to sink commercial vessels.”

— Marco Rubio, Secretary of State of the United States of America, 05th of May 2026 during a White House Press Conference, somehow also not talking about the US but Iran.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

I think the new bike lane on Folsom is going to be a two-way cycle track. But until it gets paint and center-line posts, it's wide enough to drive in so drivers drive in it.

Google Search rests on a social contract: their bots can crawl our sites, they can index our sites, and they can show excerpts of our sites because

and •only because•

they send people to our sites. •Our• sites, our words, with our design, with our links, with our context and our aesthetics, shared the way we want to share them.

Google is announcing — unambiguously and with great fanfare — that they are now fully breaking that already-ragged contract. We should reciprocate.
