Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens loses over half her staff after endorsing Republican Mike Rogers for Senate https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2026/11/01/haley-stevens-staff-resign-over-mike-rogers-endorsement/92551929007/

The people who voted for Abdul El-Sayed instead of Haley clearly chose wisely.

But I want it to store all my stuff in plaintext files.

Like Org Mode.

And also sync over iCloud or Dropbox or whatever.

Org does that.

I definitely don’t want to pay a subscription, or lock into a proprietary app.

But I still need rich tagging and project grouping and all that.

I overheard a conversation where someone was explaining that a 13” laptop is a toy, unfit for serious work because it’s too small to get anything done.

My friend, what if I told you I sold software I wrote on a 13” CRT at 640x200? I wouldn’t want to go back, but that size at 3024x1964? I think I could find a way to persevere.

There was a restaurant across the street from city hall. Dad dragged us there all the time, ostensibly because it was cheap, but really because it was always packed and Dad loved nothing better than to hold court in a roomful of people he seemingly all knew.

> Trump, Obama said, had broken a slew of promises he made on the campaign trail in 2024, ensnaring the country in an ongoing war in Iran and failing to bring down costs. Instead, “he’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory,” the former president said, taking aim at Trump’s renovations to the executive mansion.

Hey #FRZ gang, sorry about the short downtime. Although we don't use PHP here, the #phpshell mess nudged me to do a little (much less serious!) server maintenance, including a reboot test to make sure it all came back up OK. I'd forgotten a detail in that test and it came back up *most* OK, so I fixed it for next time.

There are new critical (CVSS 9+) CVEs dropping shortly. TL;DR there are working exploits to get remote shells.
