a little. It needs to be close enough so the broken part of the grid is in your peripheral vision.

I would say an abstraction is a container for conceptual things that's easier to interact with and reason about than the things themselves. Which, I believe is the same idea, but in less mathematical terms.

"Joined forces with conservatives," to do what? What did she join with them to do?

*Insert angry goose png*

What was happening in 2020? What were Black people asking for? She saw George Floyd, and said "That's it! I have to join this civil rights battle..., on the side of racism!"🤡

See, this isn't hard: Lander admonishes the appropriate body (Cabinet) to invoke 25th, then MOVES ON to telling Congress to act within its own domain of power.

oh, god

30-50 feral hogs would like to have a word

I've been informed that this show was apolotical. I believe this aired in 1990

Oh that sucks so much. The only thing for it is to try to go back to sleep right away, before you wake up fully

I don't wanna be reductive here, because it's more often than not a more complicated thing than simply pointing towards one common cause. However. Either by component shortages caused by AI or executives using AI caused component shortages as justification for hiking prices...

AI did this.

Wow the replies here are exhausting. You clearly said we lost the battle, but will win the war, and to do that we should choose to fight where we are stronger, which is basically everywhere else.

That seems like a good analysis to me. I have no idea what everyone else read

"I keep looking around in the hopes that someone who is more powerful than I am, whose job is safer, will speak up about what a shameful and embarrassing capitulation this is, and say something about how it connects to the political collapse we are all living through in this country right now"

Honestly, it was trash

This is how I learned star trek academy was cancelled

Some regrettable personal news:

As of ~45 mins ago I am no longer employed. I'm still trying to find my bearings, but would be gateful for whatever leads y'all have.

(I will say more in a bit, once I actually have the time to spare)

@thebonster.bsky.social you should see this

To say nothing of how many translators we could train and employ with the trillion+ dollars that have been spent on chatbots in the last 3 years

Shit, you probably hit a billion dollar valuation just from having said the word

But that was always the only way this ends, so I'm not sure what anyone is bothered about

I expect his job is to reign in the devs and get them to stop antagonizing the entire user base. And then the permanent CEO, which might be the same guy, will start generating revenue, which will probably mean using the protocol as a Trojan horse to collect and sell non-public information

A lot of people talking about switching networks again. I'm not sure why that would be on the table unless they think the new guy will be different and worse

I'm gathering that people thought jay was protecting this place from VCs or whatever?

Okay

I can hear that 3rd pic

I dunno, it seems like a bit of a problem that everyone gets a loose reproduction of the thing with different, unique, unknown quirks? And no one gets anything unless they rent their shovels from one of the 2.5 model vendors, first?

Kristi Noemore, has anyone done this yet?

Several posts in a row from the popular with friends feed, joking about Kristi Noem getting fired

Well done everyone. Well done to the people I follow for having good taste. Well done to bsky for breaking the following feed yesterday so I'd be on popular instead. A+ work, all around

Hey what happened over lunch, did I miss anything hilarious?

Abstruse

What obscure is to perception, abstruse is to understanding

Yes, in both senses

I'm expecting him to just declare victory and demand we all stop talking about it
