This is literally half the reason I registered as Working Families Party, I was sick to death of Nancy Pellosi texting me begging for money.

The real Chad move is to wait 3 years and get the ultimate edition for free on Epic

At the risk of punching down on some kid who is, at most, 24 years old and who is clearly Not OK, I am absolutely fascinated by this researchgate profile. Researchgate.net/profile/pearl-pulickal

Never call yourself a moderate or a centrist. Even if, in this moment, that's what you are, don't label yourself as something where the definition can change based on what the people you disagree with decide to do.

I go back and read up on TDD every few years and I swear, sometimes it seems like TDD is the practice but the lesson is "write code in small bits and run it after each change"

Now this is interesting. Dr D announcing a registration for ghost jobs. Check this out. youtu.be/82EbTciaEjc?...

Cursor keeps turning on very expensive models all by itself to write PR and commit messages and uses more compute doing that than everything I spent for the last feature I built. I'm starting to think this is intentional.

Interesting dynamic here, largely that when big box stores put small shops out of business, it's only the small shops that were trying to actually make money.

Explain your @ The book The Bad Girl's Guide To The Open Road describes a road trip as "the ultimate brain douche", and I liked that idea and imagery so I stole it and made it my entire online identity.

Ye gads, a THREAD and a half. Science! Expertise! And optional Idiots! 😀

It's funny to think that, as a person of English heritage, I am a part of a diaspora cohort, especially considering that my parents ethnic identity didn't extend beyond wearing orange on St Patricks Day. Which is possibly the most credibly English thing she could do, come to think of it.

Three national treasures in one quote tweet.

We haven't landed in a serious timeline, I'm afraid

This list that got leaked was found in the HTML code of the website itself and could be seen by anyone. That is genuinely the funniest part of this story. “Tech” billionaires don’t know shit about tech. www.wired.com/story/leak-e...

Ok kids, I see all your dopamine going brrrr at the sparkle paints. Have some more. youtube.com/shorts/MP9gV...

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

I'm still looking for this game. Someone who will not be named suggested Eve Online in jest and I'm still not speaking to her right now.

Ok question for all you nerds but particularly @errant-signal.com because I think you might know, can any of you think of a video game that gives a similar satisfying experience to grooming a Calibre database?

One of my favorite things to do, not just during pride, is reminding barely bisexual men ("I mean, if Geralt of Rivia fell in my lap") who are (usually) dating wildly bi women that all the institutions of the Queer Industrial Complex are for them, too. They're very uncomfortable at the thought.

One of the best mustache deployments so far this century Also go read his train shit you cowards

Hey wait I have a question: how come Mister Lover is never accused of being an orange cat stereotype? If anything he seems less chaotic than Mister Fishtopher.

(Adding to clarify: AND I HAVE *BEEN* A CAFFEINE-STARVED ANIMATION WRITER [AND STORY EDITOR], AND KNOW *EXACTLY* WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. There are some depths to which one declines to sink no matter HOW badly you need a fecking espresso.) 😏

As a child I thought Rocky and Bullwinkle was corny low-quality trash. Watching it as an adult and the episodes in order, it's absolutely incredible and has long story arcs (and still corny, but good-corny). Rocky and Bullwinkle is legit and you should watch it (the oldest stuff, if you please)

Ok look i just want a cat that will hex my enemies. So far I've got a girlboss who probably has a job as director of marketing or something she hasn't told me about because she doesn't want to pay me rent and a himbo that 8 veterinary techs have proposed marriage to.

Seeing the Backrooms and Obsession movie succeed makes me feel like the entertainment industry is starting to reinvent itself again. Obviously the status quo will subsume all progress and reassert itself from a new position, but also death to the blockbuster industrial complex. Nature is healing 😁

I keep seeing these articles about how young people are redefining success, prosperity and the American Dream, and the articles are all just "kids are lowering their standards and choosing to be happy about it". Definitely of two minds about this.

Does anyone remember the sports site that had a completely unhinged series about cooking for men? They talked about only needing a shitty cheap grill and the importance of giving your guests flaps of orange traffic cone cheese on their burger if that's what they want.

I kinda want to go see The Amazing Digital Circus finale in the theaters but I reaaaaalllly don't want to subject myself to its fans

Ok, we now have four ai bots doing code review, and the two required human reviewers clearly posted reviews written by ai. What are we doing here?

Get in the car, bitches, it's Pride, time to be crimes, do gay

Bluesky Brain comes for us all, even the best of us.

"sorry for the noise" bitch I am accumulating psychic damage every time you invent a property I've skipped in the refactor. Like every other programmer who's been in the biz for 20 years I am *profoundly* insecure about most aspects of my job, and now chatbots are gaslighting me too?

If only mansplainers would fold as fast as my ai code review bot. Me: *makes a pr* Clanker: *is confidently wrong about it* Me: @clankerAI you sure about that? Clanker: you're right, I'm wrong, I'm sorry for wasting your time. Me: WHAT ABOUT WASTING MY MONEY YOU UPJUMPED TIN CAN

Submitting the paperwork to postpone my nervous breakdown due to scheduling conflicts.

Same thing that happens to all the other small towns and major wealthy cities that get starved to death by major industrial shifts in the US: This is America, fuck you, learn to code, if your only investment is the equity in your home and now you can't sell it that's a you problem

Why are you so fucking gay? Wrong answers only. My grandmother made sure I had a decent sex education growing up, she didn't want me to be a young mother like my mom was. I think I just promised too hard.

Nobody: Absolutely fuckin noone: Me: the Pilgrims were the original antiwokesters and nobody liked them either.

For my my own peace of mind though, please don't rush. I've seen what you straights have been up to lately and I don't think trying to do more, faster to get it in under the wire will help anything.

In case I haven't been perfectly clear, the world economy is currently balanced on a trillion dollars worth of Juiceros and there isn't a goddamn thing anyone can do about it.

Wrong answers only.

I got that neurodivergence that makes me polyslut enough to wanna offer to take all the girls out on dates when they complain they can't find dates, but oldmarried enough that all I really want is to go out for a nice dinner and go to sleep early.

Some of the best wings you can get in Buffalo come from Buffalo Wild Wings franchise locations.

I'm sorry but if one gigantic iced drive-through coffee (hold the ice, add two espresso shots) isn't your breakfast AND your lunch at least once a week do you even HAVE adhd?

Sarah, Stephen King and I agree on one thing: you gotta do some every day. And it's hard if you're used to binging hyperfocus to get shit done, because it's just work otherwise. 15 minutes a day. Not feeling it? Do it badly, nobody will know. Really not feeling it? Do the worst version possible.

Ok so I decided to try Jellyfin to see if it's better than plex, and I don't like it for video streaming yet but it's handling simple ebook hosting like a champ

Ok sumo nerds, let's see your rikishi/sportsball metaphors

Oh boy I love it when I tell the agent to write two commit messages and Cursor decided to use the most expensive model and spend 5% of my monthly budget on planning those commits. Didn't even commit my changes, just thought about it. The messages were prewritten too. It's all so deeply unserious.

You know how someone in Hollywood reads a terrible book and thinks "there's good bones here, it would make terrific tv" and they're right? Happens all the time. How do you learn how to do that?

Today I learned that Facebook is the best source for human-made "satisfying slop" shorts. YouTube and tiktok can be hard to get away from the AI, but Facebook it's all there at the top of the pile: rust removal, cooking shorts, poppers, stuff getting squished in presses. I wonder why.
