JD Vance went to a performance at the Kennedy Center of among other things Petrushka, the ballet by Stravinsky. Petrushka is a story about Russian puppets. The jokes just write themselves.

En tant qu’Américain, cela m’a bouleversé. Merci du fond du coeur à M. Malhuret.

I know that’s what I thought it was, especially with those colors.

I remember the early days a couple years ago when it kept trying to write Ruby in an elixir file. I’m (sadly) not working in .ex at the moment — is that better now?

Anyone got a rec for a book or other media telling the stories of ordinary people who resisted fascist governments in the past? I want something grounded/historical and not polemic. Asking for a friend, but serious question.

Peace without justice has a name: conquest.

Someone at NYT games woke up and chose violence

I finally axed it a month ago. I miss what is was 10 years ago, but it’s become a cancer again.

I know half a dozen liberals who are buying guns now. Mixed feelings about this.

Aeropress is the GOAT. But having to figure out how to make coffee before one has *had* the coffee is one of nature’s cruelest jokes.

Anything with a budget under $100k mark (probably more like $250k or more, now) was effectively impossible if it wasn't also doable self-service. AI tools effectively erase this gap, but the scope of greenfield ideas that are now possible is vast.

This is, if your problem is too hard for off-the-shelf tools with maybe a little customization, but isn't an economic opportunity in the tens of millions at minimum, you can't afford the dev team you need to make it happen.

Thoughts on what I should do with these now?

The world is so fucking interesting god damn it sometimes I can’t even take it.

Young man and woman at the next table over seemed like they were on a coffee date, but no, he's wingmanning her tinder by helping her screen out douchebags. I'm here for it.
