Tech bros seem to think they've somehow disrupted the software development lifecycle but AFAICT all they've done is move the supposed bottlenecks from kitchen safety to fire department response.
I have solar and my watch lasts 28 days. I'm good. I think 🤔
how much you wanna bet these glasses will expose all trans peoples' deadnames intentionally
Listening to a podcast and one of the hosts (American) said "The US is a beacon for other countries" and I nearly spat out my drink. Only Americans think America is a beacon for anyone else.
While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

A webpage section titled ‘U.S. Politics’ displaying two news story cards from The Atlantic. The left card shows Pete Hegseth, a middle-aged white guy with grey hair wearing a suit, in front of a high‑contrast yellow‑and‑blue aerial illustration of the Pentagon, looking menacingly to his right. The right card shows Gavin Newsom, also a middle-aged white guy with grey hair wearing a suit, standing against a wooden wall with his shadow cast prominently beside him, looking skeptically to his left.
I'm left wondering how much discretion Apple News editors have when it comes to placement.

There are builders onsite and "Gold FM" plays songs from the 1990s WTF?!
Ninety percent of Democrats think the country is worse off than a year ago; 82% of Republicans feel things have improved.
10% of Democrats and 18% of Republicans are brain dead.
This guy gets it.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants- And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹 He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff. It’s heart wrenchingly sweet They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it
the AI evangelists are not okay
BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social
Jay Bhattacharya C @DrJBhattacharya Follow Imagine there hadn't been an @NIH-led "devastating takedown" of the @gbdeclaration in Oct 2020. Imagine no media/social media suppression. We would have won the policy argument. Schools would have opened. We would have prioritized protection of the vulnerable. Instead, lockdowns. 1:44 AM • 12/9/22

Just saw a Facebook comment that argued against the premise "Australians and Kiwis sound the same" with the response, "no, you idiot, Australians sound like drunk Brits and Kiwis sound like nice South Africans". I'm not saying this is true, but it is funny
The difference between acceptance and tolerance?
Dearly hope this dude visits Osaka

In my 35 year career, I’d say 80% (and I’m likely being generous) are absolutely useless, lacking in necessary skills and basic knowledge.
I'm so sick of the piss weak inevitability argument being made about generative AI. No, you're just lame CEOs who have realised that the entirely fantastical spectre of GenAI gives you an out for being incompetent leaders, disconnected from the rest of humanity.

NEW: JD Vance flew to Rome to formally invite Pope Leo XIV to join America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

A message from some gammon Karen saying: Funny you put Ramadan and eid up first. Its a Christian country first and foremost. Reply Bedford Borough Council replied: Ramadan began on February 17. That is why we put our Ramadan message on social media yesterday. Lent began today, which is why our Lent message went on social media one day later. The date of Lent is determined by the church calendar, rooted in the decisions of the Council of Nicaea (325 AD). The official start of Ramadan traditionally depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon. Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago.
Standing ovation for Bedford Borough Council.
I presume Hogan's Heroes is now illegal to broadcast in New South Wales?
