BABY 🖤 Dusky pygmy rattlesnakes are already small, and this is a tiny child at that. She could comfortably curl up on my watch face. Pretty chill, though I did not test this thoroughly.

i was gonna quip that thinking if you have some tests passing, you’ve got shippable software is the most junior take ever—but then i realized it’s actually big corp code quality manifest. 1/8

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Allow me 30 sec for a soap box. After watching 5 min. of @kfor life-saving tornado warning coverage in Oklahoma, I got a message saying I had run out of my free time and to create an account. Station owners wonder why people go to alternative media for weather coverage. Because they have to?

I guess I just feel pretty strongly that the lives of people who live in other countries are also very important

in the final timeout, the Super Bowl commercials Voltron into a mega-ad for sweeping regulatory oversight of tech, healthcare, and finance

Larry Summers complaining to Epstein that his kids admire Bernie Sanders too much

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

Destroying the entire independence of The Federal Reserve when you could just, ya know, wait four months speaks volumes to how much Trump hates America.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

and then for hours used passive voice to pretend they had no idea who was behind the apparently spontaneous explosions

I understand the wretched T&S calculus Bluesky PBC is making, even as I disagree with it and the results. We must keep putting our chips into supporting things that are open AND decentralized. Within ATProto, that means supporting efforts like @blackskyweb.xyz and @transrights.northsky.social.

great advice going around for turning off autoplay videos but might i suggest

New It Could Happen Here 🌀🌲🌀 Garrison talks with Jack from AltWatcher about a viral social media account posing as dissent Park Service employees sending coded messages on the internet. @bishonentype.bsky.social @altwatcher.bsky.social www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

I just wanted to see how bad it really was. perfect, adobe. no notes. great tech.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

Working on a CEO speak translator. So far I’ve got 1. We’re ending remote work and returning to office to improve collaboration = stealth layoffs 2. We are an AI first company and you don’t get more resources until you can show why you can’t do the job with automation = hiring freeze Any others?

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

How are people claiming they bought their cybertruck before Musk went MAGA and being repeated by reporters; Elon endorsed election deniers in November 2022, the first cybertruck was delivered November 2023

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

I’m 100% for coalitional movements but I am still blocking the Obsessively Posting the Same Four Sneery Nicknames 16 Hours a Day wing on here

I have a plan

The past year of tech stock gains erased. A small price to pay as long as government workers don’t have to put pronouns in their email signatures anymore.

you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

Becoming a “thank you for your service” guy for a car dealership is the logical endpoint of American conservatism

Everybody say thank you selfie monkey for setting the precedent

If you don't know what Roko's Basilisk is, it's basically Pascal's Wager for people who fall for online phishing scams

Trump doesn’t run the country like someone who expects to be a civilian in 4 years.

everything is computer (derogatory)

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

congrats democrats, you got played like chumps. but at least you're respecting the office or some bullshit

Almost 800,000 people on here are following a totally-not-real account claiming it's a group of rogue park workers and who are now posting cryptic nonsense to make it seem like they're sending messages to the deep state. Also they're selling resistance merch. WTF are we doing man?

God damnit we already did 2017

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Can we park these banners at your next Python conference? ✨ #PyLadies #PyLadiesCon #PyLadiesVancouver

Every episode of CCC since November BT and I have wondered if we’ve been hyperbolic and every single time we look back on it and think “we didn’t go far enough”

How’s this WSJ take aging

Just watched the Trump Gaza video and whoever wrote a couple weeks ago about generative AI being the new aesthetics of fascism could not have asked for a better case in point

I haven't seen anyone talk about this, but the bird flu problem isn't just an issue because of expensive eggs. It's also a national defense issue because of eggs. The US relies on a bunch of farms to produce A LOT of eggs for emergency vaccine production www.npr.org/sections/mon... #BirdFlu #eggs

HI DO YOU HAVE ANY SPARE PHOTONS
