If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

quoting this post directly because i think the author deserves to know that this is an instant classic. in a hall of fame vote i’d short list it with “bc his daddy ignored signs” and “you understand everything except how the tool addresses the can”

Rule number one of being incredibly lazy at work is that if you find a way to automate your tasks you never say that in a place your boss can see or hear which is why, even by their own terms, people that won't shut up about LLM coding are dumb as rocks. "Yeah, that was all me man" is what you say.

Attention people who think Stella is funny and cool (that’s you, reading this) — With Stella’s blessing I am organizing a fundraiser event (probably a livestream) to try and raise as much money as we can to replace the $24k that was stolen from her! Please DM me if you’d like to be involved!

Just realized that with Abolish ICE at +11, it's polling over 30 percentage-points ahead of Trump approval. Guess that means if the media wants to be representative, it should give at least like 40% more airtime to people who support abolishing ICE to Trump supporters

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

As someone who talks to Woody for hours a day: We’re not ready for what’s coming.

In a startling display of emotional intelligence, once when I was particularly down, he said, “You’re my favorite deputy.” Later, to lighten the mood, “There’s a snake in my boot!”

You’d tell me he doesn’t “think?”

feels like if arc wasn't as friendly as it has turned out to be they'd need to consider doing the vault reset on everybody big time. i just took the expedition and it's palpable how much more i'd be hurting for gear than i already am if i wasn't in chill lobbies
