A list of my favorite custom keyboard features thus far, courtesy of TailorKey:

• Caps word: Engages the caps lock function only until you hit a word boundary (anything that's not an alphanumeric character, underscore, or backspace basically). So helpful I'm wondering how I ever typed without it.
• Home row modifiers: Tap asdf or jkl; and they function as normal letters, but hold them and they function as modifiers (ctrl, alt, cmd, shift). Tremendous.
• The "select word" functionality. This is a macro for alt-leftarrow (move cursor to beginning of word) followed by alt-shift-rightarrow (select to end of word boundary). There's also a select line, but I haven't found myself using that much yet.

my new keyboard layout has “caps word” functionality (think caps lock but just for a single word) and my god traditional keyboard manufacturers need to get with the times

where has this been all my life

The Binance crypto exchange has just filed a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over its article reporting that Binance's own compliance investigators had found $1 billion in transfers to Iran-backed terror groups, and then were fired.

The article, and related investigations by the New York Times and Fortune, were cited in an inquiry over the alleged sanctions evasion by Senator Blumenthal, and a request by Sen. Van Hollen and others for an investigation by the Treasury and Justice Departments. Today the WSJ reported that the DOJ had opened such an investigation.

The Coinbase-backed "Stand With Crypto" advocacy group has declared Illinois Senate candidate Juliana Stratton to be "strongly against crypto" solely because she made a statement criticizing the $5.5 million the crypto industry had already spent to oppose her

Fascinating comment on AI regulation from Elissa Slotkin of all people, who received $10 million — the second-most support — from crypto PACs in 2024.

Today the SEC filed a proposed final judgment to settle their lawsuit against Justin Sun and his businesses for $10 million and no admission of wrongdoing.

Sun has spent between $112 million and $233 million on contributions to Trump-linked crypto firms.
