"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism
Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com
i am not kidding we were just in the weird auto-charge concession booth together
i think comma splices are good, they communicate casual tone more effectively than using periods or semicolons.
it's important to document your code properly (filming tiktoks about it instead of writing an API reference manual so future generations will understand)
Trust me. These AI guys will be singing a different tune when the machines figure out how to do impaired boating as well as them...
bluesky is always there for me when i have thoughts i can't bring myself to bother my loved ones with
the laundromat i go to has played at least one steely dan song every single time i've done my laundry here. steely dandromat.
if you blame me for the crimes of my ancestors you are a pathetic anti-white lib. i would, however, like credit for the good stuff they built.
happy end of turbotax ads day everyone
the only good media critic on youtube was lindsay ellis until freaks like this drove her off the platform. we can do better folks. we must do better.
the severance fandom is largely made up of people engaging with a work beyond their comprehension level, which is reflected in IMDB scores and social media posts that i assume will result in more dumbed down media, more dumbed down audience, etc etc etc until the world ends in nuclear armageddon
this legendary tweet ruined the experience of having multiple mustards in my fridge
i absolutely believe this is where we are headed. this has always been the playbook. sartre wrote in 1945 that they delight in their own bad faith. in 2017, andrew anglin made it the official editorial policy for his nazi blog. it’s always “just a joke,” but the punchline is actual violence.
I've seen this happen a few times where i google some information at my job and the first non-AI source is a reddit or stack overflow post from a few years ago where the responder dismisses the question saying "the answer to this is literally the first Google result" and now THEY'RE the first result
elon is right, i want my $2 in taxes back
@elonmusk: CFPB has $711M? That money should be returned to taxpayers. Mario Nawfal @ @MarioNawfal FINANCIAL WATCHDOG PUT ON ICE - 1,700 EMPLOYEES TOLD TO STOP WORKING IMMEDIATELY Russ Vought, Trump's OMB Director and now acting Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) chief, just froze the agency in its tracks - ordering all 1,700 employees to halt work immediately. Show more
the CFPB that Musk wants to shut down has won $21 billion for Americans from predatory financial institutions and big banks
quick, does anyone know if $21 billion is more than $711 million
The bar is very very low right now for any acts of resistance having a huge impact on morale. The protests outside the agencies matter, the anti ICE protests that shut down th 101 matter. In comparative politics they call this the demonstration effect-showing what's possible bsky.app/profile/nath...
The biggest takeaway I have from this week is not that Musk & Trump will rampage over anyone. It's that they will not be more forcefully resisted by anyone, who will take their BS suspensions or forced retirements & go home. In France they'd make them drag them out of their offices ON CAMERA.
thank god we have something the right doesn't (members of Congress who do epic clapbacks on twitter while every institution of democracy crumbles)
i think it would be good to start calling it DGE when it needs to be referred to at all since we should not be including "of" in abbreviations.
purely anecdotal evidence but I think the momentary tiktok ban has made it more popular than ever. over the last week I've seen two separate groups of teens filming themselves doing their silly little dances out in public. I've never seen that before!
this is truly despicable.
it's fun watching two of my least favorite types of guy (AI enthusiasts and stock market gambling addicts) getting very mad about deepseek
sports matches/season finales of shows i don't care about/every awards show
this is the only time i'll talk about deepseek: don't give it more attention than it warrants. recognize how the story at this particular moment is going to fuel increased US investments in generative AI. recognize that altman wants to stoke the fears to justify more investment into his companies.
the Palisades was one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the history of human civilization. one of the best funded and most advanced fire departments on earth fought tooth and nail to save it. They failed because the task was impossible.
cocoa vs cacao. what's that about
a month ago i talked to my high school gf who is now a therapist and she's now engaged to an engineer who's also a musician and she was like "guess i have a type haha" and I was like haha..... yeah wouldn't know about that heh
