Our researchers found at least 450 posts on Telegram dating back to 2020 that shared the song mentioned in this reporting. Nearly all the posts we found were from explicitly neo-Nazi and white supremacist channels. And a review of our datasets found it hasn't circulated much outside those circles.

Great question! It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider. The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

Beth is good and JCA is good and this piece is excruciating but good:

I spent a bunch of this evening picturing this Venn Diagram in my head. I feel like all my local peeps will understand.

Governor Walz came to my kids school for Hanukkah today, but per my daughter the highlight of school was "I don't know, I can't remember".

Not my youngest pointing at an octopus and emphatically yelling "Bunny Rabbit!"

The best part of a seder is Koreich, where we remember the time a guy made a sandwich by recreating that sandwich. 10/10 tradition.

Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark - inexplicably feeling a sudden urge to see some Nazis getting punched.

I was playing proto-typing @jcristharif.bsky.social's msgspec to (de)serialize a big nested python object. Converting the object to a dict using `msgspec.to_builtins` was 50x faster than my current recursive method and json serialization was 7x faster than `json.dumps` for serializing the dict.

Today's preschooler meltdown brought to you by Judy Garland singing "somewhere over the rainbow" while our resident tyrant is certain it's "*someway* over the rainbow", and "she's singing it wrong" 🌈🌈

LLMs are bad because it's unethical to force a computer to read so many reddit posts

It will be three years next week that I have not owned a car. I could easily afford one. I have kids who do activities & stuff. I live in part of St Paul with ok transit & mediocre bike facilities. But, we have to make different choices if those kids will have a future. Here are some reflections. 🧵

Everyone who just joined and is looking for Python people to connect with, I made a "starter pack" with many of the fun accounts. Add them to your followers list, #python: go.bsky.app/3Uzma1g

Last week my wife taught our preschooler how to play Mah Jongg.🀄🀄 This week the only game she wants to play is _not_ Mah Jongg, it's "teach daddy to play Mah Jongg". For 2 hours yesterday my daughter slowly explained to me the rules of a game I already know how to play 🙃. She's a Mahsplainer.

If anyone has a reason to hype up language interfaces and LLMs, it’s @inesmontani.bsky.social—founder of Explosion, the company behind the Python NLP tools spaCy and Prodigy. But her take? Sometimes, a simple form does the job better. Let’s build more alarm clocks and less automated window knockers!

Yesssssssssss. World's harshest food critics give it 4 thumbs up too.

Fuck it, making babka instead.

Working on adding CPython 3.13 freethreading support to msgspec (github.com/jcrist/msgspec). This is surprisingly straightforward, still expecting demons somewhere though.

Software engineers: "use descriptive variable names" Also software engineers: "overlapped.DUMMYUNIONNAME.DUMMYSTRUCTNAME.Offset"

It's important to put newborns to sleep on their back (which they hate) in order to prepare them for a lifetime of having to do other things they hate.

Our daughter's speech issues make it harder for others to understand her, but they also produce such gems as "The floor is llama" or "The lizard of Oz" so it's impossible to say if they're bad or not.

Ok, fine, I'll start posting here. Maybe this will catch on more than mastodon did 🤷.
