No I haven't but told my wife today we need to watch it, she's on the fence...

The film and the book both make one huge and regrettable error, which is erasing non-white labor from the land.

This Day in Labor History: March 15, 1940. John Ford’s film version of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, was released to universal acclaim. This was perhaps the greatest moment of the cultural left during the Great Depression!

Only 2/4, shame your mad prophetic skills don't run in the family

Do you have a recipe for this?

Did you bake it inside the foil?

What I learned building an opinionated and minimal coding agent Lessons I learned while building my own coding agent from scratch.

You know what? I'm going to toot my own horn a little bit. Here are the first two pages from "Lost Worlds." If you've read "Sapiens," compare the depth of his understanding of the material he's citing with what I'm doing here.

This Day in Labor History: November 25, 1865. Mississippi created the first of the Black Codes.

I like it that Bridesmaids made the list but not The Hangover

xkcd making me tear up, damn

The author also did a lot of stuff in Clojure land, but moved to Typescript some time ago. Pretty amazing stuff he built (I think, only looking from outside)

You imagine all sorts of people your heart could go to. What you don’t imagine is your sacrifice leading to more years of Dick Cheney. If you wanted to argue against organ transplants (and my organs are listed to be harvested if need be), I can’t imagine a better argument to kill it than “your heart is going to keep a human monster alive for another 15 years.”
