I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this πŸ˜‰

Picture of the price paid for gas today, $4.30/gal. Up about $.60 since last week because of Trump’s dumb, illegal, immoral war.

Thanks, Donald.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Damn, girl. When the transition paralysis hits and you’ve lost 30 minutes to fuck knows what. Brains are dumb.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

β€’Clean up your email inbox (badly)
β€’Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
β€’Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
β€’Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Costco CEO says any tariff refunds it gets will flow back to members through 'lower prices and better values' Costco challenges the US government over IEEPA tariffs, with CEO Ron Vachris pledging to pass refund benefits to members.

Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.

I firmly disagree with this, not vaccinating your children is profoundly anti-social, we should not excuse anti-social behavior or, assuming that people are of sound mind, be sympathetic to it.

There are guidelines that you can read, your child has a pediatrician much smarter than you, that's it.

Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy?

Just asking.

The Trump administration took your money illegally.

They won’t give it back.

Congrats on a great launch Marathon team! I'm really enjoying getting killed on Tau Ceti IV over and over and over again.

According to no history book ever we should certainly trust that our sensitive health data will be safe and free and accessible only to us and not at all shared or monetized or weaponized for profit. So sure this is all really good.

Because if there is one thing we have learned it’s that β€” let me scan the lecture notes β€” platforms are very safe and good for vulnerable populations’ wellbeing and safety.

If you think this is accessibility technology then Godspeed to you.
