Okay this isn’t really happening anymore so I can tell you how l had “internal ICE sources”: the 3000 very stir-crazy ICE agents were all going wild on Minneapolis Tinder. Local girls would match with them and string them along for intel. They loved to brag about what they were doing all day
cognitive reframing:
I am putting ice cream in my coffee -> I am out of milk because I am disorganized -> negative affect
I am putting ice cream in my coffee -> I am making affogato, a sophisticated italian dessert -> positive affect
Some evidence coming out that major Saudi oil facilities were hit and perhaps badly damaged by Iranian missiles. Really hard to quantify this but we could be looking at a historically significant strike here.
All from a country whose offensive capability was wiped out days ago.
Bsky devs: ‘HEH ignorant users, it’s not ai causing this it’s a backbone outage’
Dev at the backbone: ‘fuck I’m out of Claude tokens fuck fuck’
looked up a cheat code on gamefaqs only to find out that I had posted it to the site myself 17 years ago
imagine if i happened to be a trillionaire and bought twitter and 80% of the stuff on the site was just about big pants. you couldn't escape it. just an endless deluge of big pants propaganda

But that's the whole argument right there. The industry is actively taking away the option to have a hatchback without the cost premium and worse efficiency. And it's kind of dumb and wasteful. That's the whole reason people are annoyed.
Chart titled "Massachusetts weekly average retail gas prices per gallon" with the y axis spanning $0 to $4 and the x axis spanning from early January to March 25. A blue line charts prices, which are steady around $2.99 to $3.02 until March, then then line rises steadily to $3.07 on March 1, $3.47 on March 8, $3.65 on March 15, and $3.84 on March 22.
Hell of a time for a big city mayor to cancel a shovel-ready, federally-funded transit project:
Because looking down the educational-attainment gradient, gambling is easy to dismiss as déclassé. The stereotype in highly-nerdy spaces is that gambling is for people who are bad at math.
just gonna once again repeat my (least) favorite statistic: us wheelchair users are 36% MORE LIKELY TO DIE BY CAR than other pedestrians gumc.georgetown.edu/news-release...
Blank meme template of the always-has-been.jpg meme with two astronauts.
It's the "Always Has Been" meme over and over again.
A significant fraction of LLM-coding discourse is people telling on themselves for having always misunderstood development. "Now that we have LLMs, the important thing is being able to state your requirements clearly"... oh my god, did you just admit out loud that you didn't know that all along?
At what point do the pilot unions and ATC unions strike over the dangerous understaffing?
We live in the weirdest fucking timeline where the Catholic Church is significantly to the left of the vast majority of world governments
And there are collective effects of this that hurt even people who *do* try to make the better choices. Enough car buyers have been suckered into bigger more expensive vehicles that the prudent buyer has an anemic selection. I don't want an SUV chassis, I want a car.
You're absolutely right—that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leaders—they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.
This is a really key thing that people are just not getting: "VC" is simply *not venture capital* anymore. There is ZERO risk for A16Z and peers. They do not resemble the thing that regulators described when creating the category of venture capital. A cartel of ~4 firms runs the whole industry.
Shouldn't we be absolutely inundated with a hundreds of "build a blog in 15 minutes" style demos? Or is concretely showing the productivity boost of a tool just not the thing one does anymore?

I feel like there should be a LOT more videos of people showing off agentic coding given how much people are hyping it. Plenty of tutorials on how to use it, but very few demonstrations of it in action.
Important heads up: The feds have -publicly- subpoenaed Google, Reddit, Discord, and Meta for information (names, phone numbers, email addresses) associated with accounts that are either critical of ICE or that are tracking ICE activities.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh
I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care.

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
Mood in minneapolis right now
Do you know how hard it is to get cops to seemingly side with people shot by a bunch of officers
a lot of people don't realize that Christmas carols and traditions are actually folk memories of suppressed pre-Christian events, namely the end of the Third Age and the Fall of Sauron.
