All these communists say “you just haven’t tried our version of communism”

Nah.

3. Abolish the Federal Reserve

4. Flat 6 percent Federal tax paid at the point of sale only when you put your money into the economy.

7. End all foreign aid effective immediately

8. Nuremberg style trials for all the turn coats and traitors who sold us out.

You know what this is called?

Winning. It’s called winning.

Chuds win again.

I told you 2 years to stop the spread.

I told you vote with your wallets.

We killed Ubisoft, sent a message.

We tanked every DEI game.

And now here we are. Keep going. We’re taking gaming back.

@davepl1968 It unfortunately freezes up my windows pc a few minutes after starting. It stays stuck on getting sensor info, not showing any data. Have to hard reset, tried a few times. Looks cool in pics tho!

I wrote a new Task Manager that runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. You can get it now at https://t.co/OZcq1axGTb ... but why?

Well, it started as an argument over whether you could vibe code Microsoft Word today. I didn't think so. But I figured... maybe something simpler like Task Manager. But you can't just tell Claude, "Hey, write a task manager!" Well, you can, but it'll be hot garbage.

Then my kid blew out his appendix and needed surgery, so I had a couple of days in waiting rooms to tinker with the idea. I broke out my new M5 MacBook Air, and I put together a 107-page spec, like I was some caffeine-addled PM from the 90s. Everything you could ever want to know about a task manager, how it works, what it should do, and what it should look like.

By the time he was out of the hospital, I had a rough app working. But then he started bleeding internally, needed emergency surgery and a blood transfusion. Happy to say he's all better now - but suffice to say I had the rest of the week to tinker as he healed.

But why write a Task Manager? Because when I wrote the original in '95, it was on a P90 or something equally weak. Updating, scrolling, and painting without using more than a percent or two of the CPU was the modest goal.

Now that we have 5 GHz CPUs and GPUs to help, why not push the limits? Animate everything at 60Hz, instead of once a second. History mouse tracking, a summary page, and all the features I would have added then if the hardware had allowed it.

My autism leads me to embrace neon and high contrast in a way that's not to everyone's taste, so there's a saturation slider to control the color. But this one goes to 11.

You can also select from a bunch of DEC VT220-inspired themes like Green Phosphor, Amber, or White. And I added Blue to match my VSCode theme!

The code is fully native: Direct2D/DirectComposition on Windows, UIKit on Mac, and Qt on Linux. The UI communicates with a shared CPP core, which branches out to platform-specific helpers. There's NO electron, HTML, JSON, etc.

Thanks to David and Rutger for their help along the way, I couldn't have done it this quickly on three platforms without them!

If you've got some cycles to spare, give it a try and let me know if you run into any issues!

Holy shit.

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

people don’t realize this, but 2026 appears to be the first year in human history where humanity as a whole is below replacement fertility.

this has never happened before. not during wars. not during pandemics.

for the first time in human history, we are not producing enough children to replace ourselves.

this is the only real existential crisis.

People who’ve showed up to the live shows include

This isn’t just a bunch of anonymous social media accounts. Real people are engaging with this topic now more than ever and I’m so proud to be a part of it.

Times are changing. Stay the course.

If a Right Wing extremist assassinated the most prolific youth organizer on the Left under a Democratic administration, they would outlaw conservative politics by the next morning.

Yet we allow Hasan Piker and the DSA to gloat over the murder of Charlie Kirk with impunity.

This is the country now.

Armed men smash into a Whitby home at 3:50 in the morning.
They force a family into the basement.
They shoot the man’s son.

Jason Munroe wrestles THEIR gun away.
He uses the weapon they brought into his house.
The invaders run.
He fires from his porch as they flee.
Hits nobody.

The courts say the shots inside were one thing.
The shots from his own porch were another.

So the dad gets two years less a day of house arrest.
GPS monitor.
Three years probation.

The Crown wasn’t done.
They went to the Court of Appeal asking for more time.

They lost.

Read that again.

The people who brought an illegal gun into a family home
are not the ones Ottawa is chasing for a longer sentence.

The father who stopped them is.

You don’t need a law degree to see the problem.

You just need a son or daughter!

The new Golden Axe animated series is getting a lot of backlash after the first trailer.

The original Golden Axe games had a serious sword-and-sorcery style, but the new show turns the characters into an “adult comedy” and cringe dialogue.

Fans feel it looks like another generic adult animated streaming show instead of a proper Golden Axe adaptation and the humor doesn’t fit the world or characters.
