The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
Right now? Switzerland. They leave for Germany tomorrow. Prior to this he was in France. My big concern *now* is whether the Munich airport will have enough jet fuel for them to fly home on Friday.
The *other* good news is, if I show a little self-restraint, I'll still have enough gin to get blackout drunk in two weeks.
Trying to play D&D and eat pizza through the end of the world while my teenager is on a school trip on another continent. There isn't enough gin in the world to make me feel ok right now. There IS enough gin in the house to get me blackout drunk.
BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.
For my US friends
Counterpoint: the appropriate amount of alarm is pretty much incapacitating
The Guardian with the lead you should be reading everywhere: “Donald Trump’s threats to carry out mass bombing of civilian infrastructure in Iran present US military officers with a dilemma: disobey orders or help commit war crimes.” www.theguardian.com/law/2026/apr...

Ooooh, maybe!
Also we say “basient” instead of “basement” because of Dean. So, yes, entirely possible.
Anyway, I assume this is a regional pronunciation, but I've never come across it before. If it is regional, it's... US... but not sure where.
Nope never mind, spoke too soon, he just said it twice in quick succession.
Someone (NOT ME! I SWEAR!) must have asked my co-worker about him pronouncing "drawing" like "drawling" because today it sounds like he is making a concerted effort to not say it that way.

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴
FWIW: this course was transformational for me, and I will *always* promote it. It gives me tremendous sads that my own son has zero interest in taking it (though it's a bit out of our price range so probably for the best).
Send your high schooler to a summer residential credit course where they will actually get to try their hand at basket-weaving:

from reddit r/ExperiencedDevs • 21h ago Tech-Cowboy An AI CEO finally said something honest (Meta Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now. His most recent take: "everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"
someone in AI fucked up and actually told the truth
I didn't expect that.
This show is amazing for so many reasons, including the dumb reasons. This made me laugh SO HARD.

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"
I love hippos. I do. But their snouts trigger my trypophobia something fierce.
I guess I can only love hippos from a distance. Which is probably not the worst idea I've ever had.
Did I also turn this into a class warfare situation, with the workers complaining about poor working conditions and turning on their boss?
Yes. Yes I did.
They talked their way out of most of the fights, which was fun, but then a couple of them got bored and turned full murderhobo, which was also fun. I think five goblins survived, but not the boss.
