When I say “I can’t believe my taxes are paying for (some crime)” it’s not a complaint that I’m paying taxes

This “no more taxes” shit at the moment when the Republican Party has subverted constitutional governance is not good imo

AI Didn't Break the Senior Engineer Pipeline. It Showed That One Never Existed. Most organizations never had a model for developing engineers. They had an environment that produced growth by accident. AI just made the luck run out.

the nitpick i have with this piece — which, at least from my perspective, rings pretty true — is that all of these critiques apply very broadly to org dev in general, with or without AI.

Tim Walz offering a positive vision of traditional masculinity and being loathed for it was low key one of the most blackpillling events of the past decade plus.

Stephen Miller complaining about the UK finally eliminating heredity nobility from their legislature is a perfect encapsulation of how perverse it is to have these people in charge during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

I’m more sanguine about the international order collapsing because as a millennial I love complaining that my generation got shafted.
