You circular reference. You denormalized database. You sparse-ass matrix. You fragmented fucking disk. You absolute BUBBLE sort. I can keep going because, you see, I actually have a real computer science degree

I had the displeasure of reading an article in the Harvard student paper by an economics major who said in apparent seriousness that comp sci majors are wasting time on theory classes like “Introduction to Algorithms and their Limitations” when they could be learning REAL skills like prompt […]

US institutions told the report researchers there were a number of factors driving a decline in new students, including visa issues, travel restrictions that effect about 2% of the foreign student population, and some "student concerns about feeling unwelcome in the United States" […]

This document is the product of a broken administration, motivated by cynicism, immune to human decency, with a weak-to-non-existent understanding of the policy area they wish to legislate in.

With the world heating up [and more pedestrians being killed], why are more SUVs being sold? “It’s the industry that has driven the demand through huge marketing & advertising campaigns in recent years. SUVs offered the industry a simple way of charging more for a vehicle that does the same thing.”

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Remember: the only reason that makes sense why #ice would deny clergy access to the #broadview detention facility to minister to the detainees is because they believe the substantial bad press and messaging damage from publicly denying clergy access is less bad than the damage that would result […]

After reading some of the Epstein emails, I was compelled to look in Constella Intelligence and Spycloud for exposed passwords tied to Epstein's email address: Would you believe he reused the password "Ghislaine"? If he didn't tell all his secrets, he probably leaked them inadvertently through […]

This is what many of us have been saying. Part 3 of the Planning & Infrastructure Bill is based on a myth: that we don't have enough homes because wildlife and green spaces are protected. It will solve nothing, and inflict terrible harm on our remaining ecosystems www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Every now and then I rediscover this amazing website that integrates tax assessment photos taken of almost every building in NYC in the 1940's with a clickable map. Sort what Google street view would look like, if it were 1946. https://1940s.nyc/map/

I saw a butcher bird on the verandah rail. I went out and stood a few meters from it and whistled my best butcher bird impression at it. As if to show off it then began a 10-minute recital, directed at me, with no gaps for a response. It went through a huge range of butcher bird songs […]

Hi, I just found out the government plans to scrap the Windfall Tax on oil and gas companies - which taxes their profits - as families face rising bills and the climate crisis worsens. We need to tell Chancellor Rachel Reeves: don’t turn your back on climate and communities. Will you join me […]

Denying that humans cause climate change is an act of fascism. #climate #climatechange #climatechangeisreal #antifascism #antifa #anticolonialism #activism

There's nothing inherently wrong with climate change. It's just that the ecosystems and built environments that we depend on as life support systems aren't equipped to handle the rapid changes. So if we want to live, we should deal with climate change ASAP.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Relatedly, this email I got a few days ago is probably the hilarious/shocking/unhinged email I've ever gotten (and I've gotten a lot):

I cannot believe how much misinformation there is about comet 3I/ATLAS. It's just very cool on its own without having to be an alien spaceship conspiracy... Prof. Jason Wright wrote a great breakdown of all the ways Avi Loeb is wrong about his awful alien conspiracy theories, and why 3I/ATLAS […]

Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

politicians, media and large institutions deciding to stop saying 'climate change' hasn't materially reduced public conern about it or support for actions to tackle it turns out people genuinely do not want to be baked alive by the atmosphere they're in!!!

Cycling down a road with parked cars on both sides. The remaining space is only one vehicle wide, so we're in the middle. I'm wearing my Cycling Instructor hi viz vest, following a student. Driver behind me is keen to squeeze past, and shouts "you're supposed to move over, dumbass!"

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/115520465812256238 I like how Vince Gilligan really hates this AI hustle and isn't afraid to voice it.

Enjoyed this Techcrunch piece about the new show Pluribus from the creator of Breaking Bad. Fun fact, the star of the new show Rhea Seehorn and I used to study for a statistics class together at GMU. I had such a secret crush back then (okay maybe still a little). "If you watched all the way to […]
