Don't be afraid to work hard on something you believe in. But 100 hour weeks don't work.

This has long been known.

Last night I found out that SELECT FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED is not a high performance operation on AlloyDB under load.

The best thing Kimmel could do right now is do what the Right does when it is deplatformed: replatform yourself on another service, go live, and dunk on the administration harder than ABC would ever have allowed him to. Go full South Park on them. Do an hour on Patel lying under oath about Epstein.

Time to break out the chart

Every single little subsection, blurb, and footnote on this site is spot on! alignmentalignment.ai/caaac

This is a politician that was actually elected by the people, and then assassinated.

I would be okay with a single change: Mandatory private liability insurance for any owned gun. Just like for cars. Let the insurance folks calculate the actual risk/cost of ownership. The NRA could be an insurance provider, even.

GREAT IDEA

Correct advice

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

This is a delightfully short and enjoyable read!

Perfect illustration of a fossil fueled economy!

It really needs to be understood that there's medical and scientific consensus on this, as well as trans people's own knowledge and experience on the subject, which is just as if not more important, as we are the sole stakeholders in our own healthcare. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The good news is, a social security number is not a secret or an authenticator, it's just another form of "name" that is designed to be unique. It's "who do I claim to be," not "who can I prove that I am." Even when created aeons ago that was the recommendation. (Not everyone got the memo)

This is the right answer to those in government who would blanket censor speech they disagree with.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent"

"average crime in D.C. through the roof" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person sees 0 crime per year. Felon Donal, who lives in white house & does over 10,000 crimes each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

I’ve seen this so many times and smiled at the absurdity of thinking this way without ever paying attention to the account that posted it. So, so much funnier.

It makes up for the lack of Plato.

The mechanics here are incredible!

This is what it's like to post on Bluesky in 2025

There's a thread purporting to show gpt-5 can't count letters, but I can't reproduce it. Maybe they got the less powerful version?

Tokenization, the Achilles heel of language predictors

I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the Superman movie villain president Vasil Ghurkos is coded like a combination Boris Johnson and Benjamin Netanyahu. Not trying to get any political digs in there at all.

All the attention is on "Golden" but honestly I like the intro song (How it's Done) more!

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Oh look, MPs are claiming for VPNs on their expenses. #onlinesafetyact https://www.politico.eu/article/britain-mps-charge-vpns-expenses-minister-caution-tech-jonathan-reynolds-data/

We'll see how long this can sustain itself before something saner happens. Lowering taxes at all costs -- ALL COSTS.

If Kamala is the next candidate, Democrats will lose again.

It's scratching its back. This is what happens when your plane back scratchers don't do their job!

Timeline Cleanse

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

If there is any allowance of censoring pure information (text, pixels, speech,) then it will be abused by power hungry populists. The only correct amount of censorship is zero. (I could be for liability of what you publish, but that's post-publish, not censorious)

they're just ceding the entire framing of the argument to the right wing. if you accept it's appropriate to censor exceptionally obscene forms of artwork, then all they need to do is argue that the stuff they actually want to censor (read: all LGBT work) is in fact also exceptionally obscene

ten days in, elon musk's america party is going stronger than ever. everybody's still talking about it. best of all, he remembers having started it

Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org

Streisand Effect in action with this online age verification thing. I've just found out what "porn" is (pictures of people shagging!!) and it's brilliant. A real own goal for Keir Starmer if you ask me. But don't bother asking me, I'll be too busy enjoying "porn"! 😎

It is my personal opinion that the Dems lost the 2024 election the moment party advisors told Tim Walz—then bursting out with refreshing authenticity—to shut the fuck up.

Do I know anyone who knows how the CARIAD system for the VAG PPE platform communicates? I want to sense wheel speed and blinker actuation, but it doesn't look like good old OBD-II CAN bus systems...
