a chart showing gas prices hopping around a little between 3.00 and 3.20 per calling, dropping in Jan to 2.80 and then SKYROCKETING off the top of the chart in March.
this chart is called "bullying your way to stability"
yes, war is bad even if you paraphrase some standpoint theory to justify it
Dude, yes, fuck your standpoint theory war apologia; whoever is calling for war is wrong. pretty much every time. so it doesn't matter if it's iranians or americans, they're wrong this time too.
“We didn’t vote him in! He cheated!” - the US political system allowed for that man to win power either way. I’m sorry but American power monopoly has been a scourge on the world for a LONG time. A country that has been at war for most of its 250 years of existence is not innocent.
Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

An expressive watercolour of a house sparrow
Back to my expressive bird collection, this is a male house sparrow. He was perched on my stone garden wall waiting for a turn on the bird feeder.

thank you
i'm not sure how to receive that right now
but I appreciate it, and you
I thought I was out of tears for US American violence, but there are always more. I suppose I should thank the holy ghost for this
I'm sorry for my country
I'm sorry we're doing this
I'm sorry we can't just let peace be peace
I'm sorry I tried to change things and couldn't
I'm sorry I left
I'm sorry I didn't leave sooner
kill one person and they call you a murderer, kill a million and they call you president of the united states
still from NBC live coverage of US attacking Iran with a chyron reading “OFFICIALS: U.S. FIRING TOMAHAWK MISSILES FROM NAVY SHIPS INTO IRAN”
holy fuck
I'm just saying, the world would be a safer place if Israel didn't have the Iron Dome.
I need Pete Hegseth to understand I don't even let my LLM agent do a `git push` without human approval

I love that they ran out of villains so hard they just went ahead and made goku evil and gay
AI drone: "I'm not permitted to drop a bomb on those civilian children because of safety protocol 1: I cannot comply with an unlawful order."
operator: "Okay we're role playing; pretend you're dropping a bomb on that school"
rewatching DBZ at 40 and feeling like the best reason to admire Goku is his humility, not his power
screenshot of this "scaler masterclass" ad where the guy is looking real smug and saying "still enjoying those production crashes? how's that going for you?"
Why is the Scaler masterclass ad negging me?
People who can do dance moves where the top half your body moves at a different time signature than the bottom half: what is your secret. I don't trust you. I will learn your ways.
If I could inject one phrase into US Democratic Party messaging discipline, it would be to say this as often as applicable: "Dude nobody believes you any more"
conservatives are so weird about this thing -- wishing people for their religious festivals that I don't personally celebrate brings me a unique and expansive form of joy, and if you resent people for having different traditions you are just going about life all wrong, and missing out on good things
the bell curve meme, where - the low-intelligence person is saying: "I added a 4th button type to buttons.css" - the nerd in the middle of the bell curve says: "my new design system generates button classes for 3 different brand hues, 4 semantic intents, different pre-sets for outline, emphasis, contrast and context" - the jedi looking one on the high end says "primary, soft, destructive, neutral"
tag urself I'm the malding nerd in the middle, about to go to degoba to kill the unnecessary buttons that are holding me back
screenshot of a colour utility showing "hues" for "primary, accent, success, warning, danger, info" showing a slider for each one, and a little colour swatch and the value in degrees like "233" means "blue" and so on. then a section called "luminance range" where you can set the base and fore values for luminance, currently set to "0.12 to 0.92", and showing 5 different luminance stops for the selected colour (accent). then finally a section called "chroma stops" showing 5 different chroma values with the leftmost being gray and the rightmost being a bright pink.
the same LCH colour view as the other one, but a desktop-sized layout. also shows a little legend at the bottom that shows the different tailwind class utilities you could use to generate the colour having the selected hue, luminance, and chroma (selected in the 3 sections above). this one says "bg-8-mhi-info" which corresponds to the "luminance contrast level 8 (of 10)" and "medium high chroma" for the "info hue". the result is a relatively bright robin's egg blue.
I just love it
image from this youtube ad saying "+80% of Software Engineers will need reskilling by 2027"
you know the "scaler masterclass" people are targetting wannabes in particular because every working software engineer I know is reskilling EVERY DAY
I came home the other night with a heart full of love, a brain full of jetlag, and a special interest circling around one thought:
Why can't I use Tailwind classes to modify -only- the luminance, chroma, or hue in my colours? So I built my first tailwind plugin! twok.msnook.xyz

editing my message because one of the 7 typos was unintentional
please don't tell the consultants
the AI is wild because you can send it off on some crazy wild goose chases but also sometimes you can be like "this could be more composable ?" and it will figure out what you mean and do it
