Most useless DM award goes to YouTube.
Hi there. We've sent you a DM
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The DM from YouTube was that YouTube is “unable to offer further support”

Introducing celld: a self-hosted, distributed Durable Objects and Workers implementation
- celld = V8 + S3 + SQLite + LTX+ Tokio
- programmed with exactly the Cloudflare Workers/DO JavaScript APIs and config
- order of magnitude cheaper at scale
- writes are durable before they're acknowledged, RPO=0
- only depends on an S3 compatible bucket - no other infrastructure
- ~4 MB memory per cell instance overhead
- hibernated cells cost ~nothing, just their S3 storage
- open source, Apache 2 licensed

Got logged out of corporate Slack.
My brain: Well, this is it. We had a good run. Damn.
Every. Single. Time. Without fail.

Today we ship Aspire 13!
Why 13? It’s a number that’s bigger than 10 but less than 14.
Seriously though, Aspire 13 marks the start of a new chapter for the project: the beginning of its polyglot era. We’re expanding beyond .NET, bringing the same model-driven, code-centric experience to Python, JavaScript, and beyond.
Check out the what's new on the new site:

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks.
I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

FTC is officially suing Ticketmaster
They're accusing them of deceptive pricing and letting brokers resell tickets illegally, costing fans billions of dollars in inflated prices and fees

🚨Rolling Stone is now confirming what we all knew happened with Jimmy Kimmel’s show. According to their reporting, executives at ABC and Disney didn’t think Kimmel said anything outrageous but they feared retaliation from Trump. This is a blatant attack on free speech.

Sen. Ossoff: "RFK is so obviously unqualified and unfit for this office. He never should have been confirmed by the Senate. He needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool and a wrecking ball destroying the CDC."

🚨HUGE DEVELOPMENT: An official Department of Defense account is spreading fake images — from old protests — to justify Trump’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles.
This isn’t just disinformation.
It’s a propaganda campaign from the Pentagon.

Greg Abbott is pushing the “FURRIES Act” claiming schools are giving litter boxes to students who act like cats.
But when I asked the bill author, he couldn’t name one school providing litter boxes to kids.
This is all part of Abbott’s smear campaign against our public schools.

Trump’s team did actually spend weeks calculating the true reciprocal tariff rates for each country, and then he just decided not to do that anymore and based it on trade deficits.
Absolutely absurd.

TIL:
- Cloudflare has a free tool to detect CSAM
- As of today, you only need an email to use it (previously you'd have to apply for creds from NCMEC, available only to US businesses)
I just enabled this for every partykit project, all thousands of them.

Holy shit. Instead of admitting they were wrong, @DOGE literally changed FPDS data to try to cover their asses. The website now says $8B but you can easily verify that the real number is $8M by cross-referencing with any other source as noted below.
