It is really remarkable to me how much computers have, in fact, learned to write code The hallucinated APIs are basically gone. There are still some questionable design choices and a tendency to repeat code but overall... phew. I'm using it to help learn Swift and damn

Should you ever need to run a glucose curve (we're doing one for the cat) and the worksheet you got is dumb, you could use this: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

If it's true that Moderna stopped the development of effective mRNA vaccines because of the FDA's anti-vax stance, somewhere like China has a golden opportunity to develop those vaccines and then cash in on a vaccine tourism industry

EBV infection is also likely a very important cause of lupus, which is also very bad to have

god remember when people were buying references to ape cartoons for like a million dollars that was great

For reference: There are about 175M registered voters in the US, and at a very rough estimate, there's a precinct for every ~1000 voters. So if folks are talking about "ICE will surround the polling places!" that's them surrounding ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND PRECINCTS

So (7) says to preserve—but strikes me more as create—the right of state and local govts to file criminal charges in excessive force cases. Details will matter, but if that’s a statutory waiver of supremacy clause immunity, that strikes me as potentially a REALLY big deal.

why does every FSA website feel like it is run by scammers

The sirens' songs in Hades II are absolute delights. The main Oceanus soundtrack in particular. Fighting hordes of monsters to a creepy lullaby is 1000% my jam

I am fully on board with this. Much simpler and more effective than debating whether Trump and his cronies are Fascists or Nazis or something slightly different is: Call them what they call themselves: MAGA. That's the political ideology behind all this. daringfireball.net/2026/01/the_...

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Things are awful, but not hopeless.

It may actually be good for the republic to never have “the presumption of regularity” ever again.

See, folks? That’s how you use the active voice in headlines writing

iPhone Mirroring is super useful but HOLY HELL do I wish I could have it leave the window title bar visible the lil "hover to reveal the close button oops the window changed size oops your cursor moved and it's gone again" thing is infuriating

Every single time I have seen Trump describe someone as "low-IQ" that person is Black He could just say "Black"

Can't believe Docker has let this UI thing go on so long. One trashcan clears the log; the other one destroys the container Find a different icon for "clear the log" y'all

My black tea brewing method: 1: Heat water to boiling. I use either a kettle or the microwave. 2: Add tea bag 3: Wait 3-5 minutes 4: Remove tea bag 5: Enjoy 6: Actually you forgot to drink, it's half an hour later and the tea is lukewarm. ...enjoy? 7: Discover tea bag at bottom of cup

We have a season of Love Island UK on our plex server and I soent part of today editing the episode summaries to mix in ones from X-Files episodes and I am very much hoping the family notices

maybe unpopular opinion: Python's pathlib using / for path concatenation is too cute

no idea if this will be a good movie or not, I’m just ecstatic to see a poster like this for an upcoming movie — peak of the artform, IMO

<phone rings> Me: <sighs, answers> Clearly AI-generated voice: Hello Nate, how are you doing today? Me: You are clearly a robot. AI: I am not; I assure you I am a real person. Me: ... sure, okay AI: Nate, the reason for this recorded call is... Me: <hangs up>

For the first time since becoming FBI director, Kash Patel is briefly the most dignified-looking person in a room

When I was 22 I went to the dentist. The dentist looked at my X-rays and told me there was decay under one of my fillings; I needed a crown. They took me to a nice room and offered me tea and said "This is expensive, but we offer financing plans and if you sign right now we offer a 20% discount."

It is possible that choosing employees mainly because they are incompetent so they owe total loyalty to you might have some bad effects when it comes to having them do things for you

Farmer: Do you love the flavor of cabbage but it’s not tedious enough to cook? Well I have a new plant for you. Introducing: Brussels Sprouts

Remember! Trump, his agenda, and his supporters are really unpopular with most of the country and we can use the ballot box to fix what has been broken. It will take a long time. It will be hard. Success is not guaranteed. But we can win.

If you move one little "O" you can simultaneously change "Goodfellas" into "God Fellas" and "The Godfather" into "The Good Father" I don't know what The Good Father is about but God Fellas should absolutely be The Book of Mormon set in Little Italy

okay so you know when you're installing light switches and the screwdriver blade wants to pop the paint off the sharp edge of the screw slot? yes you can put tape on the blade to stop that, but I figured someone must make a plastic 3/16" screwdriver that wouldn't do it as far as I can tell: Nope

I feel like if I were in the Trump admin, I would be fishing for an exit and a pardon before Trump has a health crisis and can’t offer one anymore

Well, @asym.bsky.social, I was wondering how to describe how old I am and have settled on "I used to use my KoL shot glasses to party; now I use them to liven up my colonoscopy prep"

There is a large graveyard filled with my enemies. i do not wish to add to it, but will given no choice. Those who pick fights with me do so at their own peril, but maybe this is their lucky day
