The stupidity is boundless

Congress now has two options: 1. Remove trump from office 2. Admit they no longer have any power over the president

It's comforting to think there will be consequences for those who support this action. But the fact that there won't be is why everyone does whatever makes political sense in the moment. For every single person who faces retribution, there's a thousand going free & thriving

The assumptions that "it's unrealistic to expect all students in Y to learn to code" and that "even if they knew how, bespoke solutions would be too labor-intensive" are absolutely load-bearing walls in academic and professional social structures.

I've been building my game for the past month and have written zero code and made zero figma boards, and yet I've spent dozens of hours making decisions and wanting things like this, or no not like that, and playing and tweaking and so on am I a dev? am I a designer? am I a game director?

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

RIP Congress of the United States.

Q: Who will run Venezuela? TRUMP: Well it's largely going to be for a period of time the people standing right behind me. We're gonna be running it.

Yesterday I merged a big overhaul of Lares. Memory is now in SQLite, and it supports multiple LLM providers that you can swap via .env: Anthropic, OpenAI, local Ollama Consider it still very unstable/untested. github.com/DanieleSalat...

Jaana was a distinguished engineer at GitHub and is now a principal engineer at Google. I expect more testimonials from accomplished engineers about productivity gains of AI in 2026. Engineers claiming AI tools don’t work well will increasingly look like a skill issue than a problem with AI tools

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us. Thanks for your consideration.

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

Struggling to see any difference between the US, Russia, China and Israel at this stage. In fact of those China is really looking like the good guys!

The U.S. carried out a “large scale strike” against Venezuela early this morning, capturing leader Nicolás Maduro and flying him out of the country, U.S. President Donald Trump said. #[politi.co/49jjQit

Loving the concept and content on News Minimalist: newsminimalist.com Using ML to rank news stories by "importance" (scale, impact, novelty, credibility, legacy) and gives you a feed of only high scoring items. At first glance, better quality than the front page of the BBC, Guardian, or NYT

Worth noting that every Republican president since Nixon has illegally attacked another country. Maybe it’s time to put that “they’re good at national security” BS yo bed.

Seems like everyone is allowed to just bomb anyone now - good times 😞

A president who wanted a peace prize is actually a prime candidate to be tried for war crimes.

The US is illegally attacking another nation for no reason other than the mental and character defects of our President and his aides. Our military is carrying out those strikes apparently without hesitation. What we are doing is indefensibly, undeniably and deeply wrong.

So I guess Trump woke up planning to invade Iran today but his handlers were able to distract him by bringing him to an interior design warehouse, then he just decided to play golf after instead.

What happens when a group of people get together with their claude code max accounts and pool their resources in Gas Town to build a product. 🤖🫡 Very different kind of start appears viable. The weakest link - probably humans and their ego. Imagine Gas Town applied to other verticals…

All these doctors going on TV and posting on social media their comments that Trump’s self-medicating regimen and diet are unhealthy just need to mind their own business and let the man do his own research.

I used to work at a pre-production company where there was a team of “creatives”, literally what they are called. Thing is, almost none of the work they did required any imagination. This has bled into society. Real creativity requires imagination, without imagination, it’s just production.

Note that this is a first world problem as it’s usually people making 6-figures upset that the people making 7-figures are refusing to retire. 😇

Claude code 6 months ago Strix, Atlas, Lares 2 weeks ago Gas town this morning 🤯 I feel like I’m witnessing the biggest shift in software development since my first hello world ~1997.

I love that this exists and was created in well under a month by one person. I suspect this could result in a very very big bank balance for Steve when the right person sees it. steve-yegge.medium.com/welcome-to-g...

Blogged about it the other day:

This guy is a walking disaster

I’d like it if I could get at least a few hours per session out of opus on pro plan - I’m not willing to pay more than I currently do, just for fun projects. 😐

Watching France 24 news on SBS - holy shit - puts our newstainment to shame. Far more natural and interesting format.

The claude code rate limits really suck if you’re using opus

There’s some really interesting things here. Like, what happens if memory persists but identity morphs between ticks? timkellogg.me/blog/2025/12...

OpenAI is working on improving its audio AI models as it prepares its hardware device which is expected to be voice operated. I continue to be skeptical that a Jony Ive designed version of the Humane AI Pin is an iPhone killer. Hopefully their device play is deeper than that.

Strix is setting up some daily structure for itself i'm also having it add images to more messages, just to spice things up

Happy New Year. May everything fall into place for you in 2026.

It feels like the complexity of “the web”, “net”, and “mobile apps” that’s accumulated over the past couple of decades has been cracked wide open and I like it. Gatekeepers are fretting. Businesses are salivating. But creators, hackers, the curious, the weird are reaping rewards. Adapt or wither.

Wonder how many crypto shitbirds have pivoted to AI. All those meme coin grifters are now trying to figure out their AI grift..

Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.
