- Coming soon in @Cloudflare Workers, we will be enabling use of eval only at the top level scope. This means that you'll soon be able to use eval and new Function(str) during the start up of your worker. It'll still be disabled within requests. Hat tip to @yagiznizipli.com who landed the PR today.
- You ever notice how absurdly polymorphic the node:fs read API is? It's truly awful.
- Reposted by James SnellAOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?
- Why do billionaires need a tax cut when we have so many examples of billionaires not paying taxes?
- Same.
- Well, security risk at least. I doubt anyone is even the least bit worried about any form of intelligence from this administration.
- Exactly the same message that electing a convicted criminal to be the president sends.
- So to summarize. The Annoying Orange gets a new $400 million plane while you're stuck with expensive eggs, looming supply shortages, etc. But hey, you get what you voted for.
- Reposted by James SnellEvery single ICE employee should be in prison.
- Today's word of the day is: Emoluments Let's use it in a sentence: The orange ass hat is violating the Emoluments clause of the US Constitution.
- With any luck this one will fall into the sea like the f18s.
- Reposted by James SnellArticle I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
- No one is above the law except the convicted felon who is occupying the white house, the insurrectionists that were pardoned by the felon, the ICE thugs that are illegally kidnapping legal residents ....
- /me looking at our six dogs ...
- MAGA would have ran him over and congratulated themselves for doing so.
- On June 5, 1989, an unidentified man made history by stepping in front of a column of tanks in Tiananmen Square in Beijing. No one knows who he was, what motivated him to put his life on the line, or what happened to him afterward. #AltCitizen 1/
- ICE shouldn't exist.
- US Citizens cannot be deported. You mean they were illegally exiled without due process

- It's almost time. 2 more degrees (F of course)
- Faux News. Faux Government. That tracks.
- What do you suppose Pirro's taxpayer subsidized wine budget is going to be?
- Looking forward to getting back to Vancouver, even if only for a single night.
- The last thing the world needs right now is an American Pope. Good grief.

- So when the "local authorities" are also severely impacted by a disaster, you're pretty much screwed and on your own.
- As it shifts responsibility for recovery efforts to local authorities, FEMA workers will stop knocking on doors to provide aid to survivors in disaster areas, per a memo obtained by WIRED. www.wired.com/story/fema-e...
- The Constitution was predicated on the idea that the Supreme Court would be packed with partisan asshats who don't actually believe in actual justice or fairness.
- Cream
- Node.js will often demonstrate both the absolute best and absolute worst of open source.
- This code review shows off so many of the best parts of open source github.com/nodejs/node/...
- Woo! Was able to do the call uninterrupted
- I have one 30 minute work call scheduled this morning. And I have one scheduled delivery for some backyard stuff that has a 3 hour window when it can arrive. What are your bets the delivery happens at exactly the moment I get on the call.
- You know ... It's actually remarkable that if you reread the declaration of Independence, how many of the complaints are equally true against the current scam of an administration.

- @yagiznizipli.com and I have started working on an implementation of node:fs for @cloudflare.social workers... Which is fun because there is no file system to speak of. It'll be fully virtual and in-memory. My question for y'all is: what features would you consider to be critical?

- Everyone involved right up to the idiot in charge needs to be arrested and tried for kidnapping, human trafficking, and more. Kidnapping and trafficking American citizens is not an official duty of the president and therefore the bullshit immunity doesn't apply.
- ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...
