So another shutdown?

He's just posturing for his senate fight.

What a cowardly, bullshit take.

You're right.
So is she.

Are you seriously making demands of ostracized authoritarian theocracies that we don't even make of western democracies? How many civilian targets has Israel wiped off the planet without consequence? And you're gonna "somebody think of the civilians" to IRAN?

Are you stupid?

Tbf if you fled to one of the most expensive city on earth and had multiple "safe houses" you probably wouldn't see said civilians as people.

A Christ-like response to the commenter would have involved compassion and understanding, not snark.

If nothing else, at least you've served to demonstrate why practitioners of Christianity have always failed to live up to the foundational teachings.

Maybe some humility is in order?

I'm certainly not gonna argue that Indians aren't Asian, but - just to clarify- I'm pretty sure that it's the Himalayas that wall it off from the rest of Asia, not people.

Agreed. That blue tie really pops.

It's been nuts to watch the shift... due largely to the right wing boycott of journalists who actually push back.

It was never about the files. It was about a club they could beat their opponents over the head with.

They are, as they have so often been, the dog that caught the car.

Is a false herring anything like getting catfished?

Id be thrilled to see progressives vs liberals vs MAGA vs libertarians vs Conservatives in the US congress. Two parties is the pits.

I still remember when I had a Chief Engineer try to convince everyone on the team that if you didn't know Assembly, you didn't know code.

I'm not convinced agentic coding is at the level where it trusted yet... but then I've been a systems engineer through Log4j, Heartbleed, and SolarWinds.

My favorite piece of movie lore is that Judgement day in the movie occured in 1997, the real-world year in which CAPTCHA was invented.

CAPTCHA stopped skynet.

ARE there people out there deferring every life decision to this technology?

I know there are a lot of smart people refusing to touch it.

Just like a lot of smart people avoided the internet in the 90s. Just like that old SysAd who never learned Python because "I already know Perl."

I'm sure it'll be whichever policy erodes the most trust.

Seems like we'll see a combination, along with an increase in food deserts as a consequence of the first.

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency.

She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

I personally feel like "Have some whimsy and enjoy things" may indeed be some of the best advice to give a person under almost any circumstance.

Ok, this got me laughing

It has been wild to see how little fallout there has been here at home.

The sudden dismissal of Gen. Haugh surprised a lot of people - and at the behest of someone as unserious as Laura Loomer, of all people! Such a serious role requires well-qualified individuals, and Gen. Haugh was certainly that.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

Feels wild...

There's no way that man has the charisma to carry a populist movement.

We've all known attackers live off the land... why do I keep seeing LLMs and other AI tools unprotected in prod?

Y'all... LOCK IT DOWN!

Dude thinks he's Trump's heir apparent.

All the laws flouted during SignalGate Very illegal and very not cool.

"First, there’s the Espionage Act, which sounds like it applies only to spies. But there’s a provision in the law that applies to the SignalGate chatters, even if they were all legally entitled to the information. That’s because they have a custodial duty to keep national security information safe."
