I cede the anti-Bibi crown to no one, but if (and sure, a big “if”) #Tehran was even nearly as close to a weapon as #Israel suggests, and had the intention to create one, there was little alternative here.

Haters can mutter about Israeli aggression all they want — I don’t care, as long as there’s an Israel for them to hate, rather than a glassy, smoking grave for 7 million #Jews and millions of other Israelis.

Excuse us if we prioritize our existence over your poorly developed, topsy-turvy morality.

This follows up an announcement the French/German governments are developing an open-source Notion clone (it's called Docs).

Europe is making a move toward digital sovereignty and it may coincidentally result in a tech stack with properties I want (AI-free, OSS, Linux-compatible). Hm.

My heart is with my many friends and family in #Israel 🇮🇱 tonight.

I’m reserving judgement on the timing and necessity of this attack.

One thing I do know: this is the inevitable destination of the path that began with the US abandoning the #JCPOA

When I attended the #Switch2 midnight launch at Best Buy, everyone standing in line clapped and cheered for the first person who walked out with their console.

Then everyone clapped for the 2nd person. And the 3rd. And the 10th... and every single person after that. It was remarkable. It was uplifting.

Console launches are always marred by ragebait and toxicity and criticism. Don't let that spoil your excitement. Enjoy your new thing. Keep the celebratory spirit of that Best Buy line alive.

Controversial hot take:

Abolish ALL copyright. Megacorps are going to steal your shit with or without copyright. At least without copyright, we can steal their shit right back.
