how it feels taking public transit rn
Pain at the pump? Buddy, I’ve been pumpin these thighs for twenty years 🚴
a passage from an article by Hunter S. Thompson We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that 8 or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history-which is no doubt true—but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th Century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.
Hunter S. Thompson wrote this about a week after 9/11 and god he nailed it
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
In this Tech Policy piece, I criticize how framings of Anthropic’s & OpenAI’s negotiations with the US’s DoW overindex on myopic interpretations of human oversight, papering over what should be the real target of our scrutiny: that generative AI algorithms are a flawed and inaccurate technology.
The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Imagine being the Coast shirt pilot and she comes back to the plane like, “We’re not going back to DC, we’re going to South Dakota.”
Imagine if it’s the pilot she tried to fire over the blankie!
ah got it. I had assumed it was genuine and not consultant-inflicted, but I have no way of knowing
I don't think Walz had the teeth enough, much as I was pleased with him as a pick over the alternatives. he was too nice to Vance in that debate; it legitimized Vance, made Vance look good, and Walz look like he was accommodating to a lying, fascist toad
I don't know how long it will take, but a certain point every section of the New York Times will have to become the climate change section.
Here's the thing: no it's isn't 2 (data center búgalu)

I decided to get fried chicken for lunch today, and there was another guy there in line before me who was livid they wanted to charge extra for dipping sauce.
Totally normal reaction, imo, but he immediately blamed Trump, which I was not expecting.
It’s a damn good account 11/10
Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein. The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude” www.science.org/content/arti...
theyre just all so fucking stupid and we were told we had to be respectful and treat their stupid fucking opinions seriously even though we knew its all bull shit and now here we are
The name "Venezuela" may have come from the Italian "Veneziola," meaning "Little Venice," despite Venezuela being 2210x the size of actual Venice
The resemblance is still uncanny.
another phenomenal quote: "The gap between natural language specification and correct implementation is not a technical problem to be solved but a conceptual challenge that reflects deep truths about human communication and software complexity."

> When I look back at the history of software, one pattern emerges with remarkable consistency: the promise to simplify software creation, to make it cheaper, and ultimately to eliminate the need for programmers altogether.

“The workers in Kenya say that it feels uncomfortable to go to work. They tell us about deeply private video clips, which appear to come straight out of Western homes, from people who use the glasses in their everyday lives.
Several describe video material showing bathroom visits, sex…”
Did they start using “Micro$$$lop” instead to circumvent the ban
You couldn’t make this up.
And if you did, everyone would say it’s too much.
I guess one way for Iran to get rid of all its ballistic missiles is to fire them at US bases
