I'm losing my mind

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

when i say "death before detransition" this is how i mean it btw

I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.

It's in Authy. You get it literally from Google Authenticator. It's in MobilePlus with ads. It's literally from Duo Plus. You can probably find it in Authenticator. Dude it's from Yubico. It's a 1Password original. It's from Okta. You can get it from Okta. You can go to Ok

Spent hours pulling out my hair as to why the service I'm rewriting wasn't seeing updates in the database as soon as they happened. Took me way too long to realize that maybe it was a transaction issue. Eeeeyup. MySQL's default isolation mode won't show new committed data until the tx is ended.

If there is one thing we famously don't understand it's shared sacrifice.

Pushing a hotfix to prod at 10:45 pm on a Friday night, can I get an f in the chat

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

Sooooo nice while we still have a functioning FDA.

Stipulating that this math is going to be wrong, we have upended the government's ability to function for... at most... and probably much less than... 2.2% of the overall federal budget.

God the X1C is just fucking crazy. I'm printing some awards for a friend and embedding weights in the base and the fact that I can print a layer OVER A VOID is just mental.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins next to a ticker showing the Dow down 1,200 points: "We are really, really excited, and very grateful for President Trump's leadership."

To the corporate leaders of the world: it'll be much cheaper if you just do it. You know what I mean.

"I don't want a Disneyfication of our history. I don't want a whitewashed history. I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America because that speaks to our greatness." -- Sen. Cory Booker, April 1, 2025.

This pretty much sums up the C-level obsession with AI.

"My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law."

The kid who looks like a Mystery Science Theater 3000 puppet now has access to one of the core cybersecurity institutions securing our nation.

We do not have kings. It will not end well for you.

Final decision for one company delayed because leadership is out sick. An interview today rescheduled because one of the interviewers is out sick. All you can do is breathe and let the water fall off of your back.

“Why is this so important” because if your institutions and legislators enable and perpetuate genocide they will enable anything

I don't want a constitutional crisis, I just want a job with healthcare

We’re a couple of days away from Trump eliminating Daylight Savings “effective immediately” and throwing us all an hour into the future.

This one hurts but, man, what an amazing life. His work is needed in this moment now more than ever. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

I’m sorry. I’m sorry!! The clockiest member of Congress saying “tranny tranny tranny” is funny.

Welcome to Day 17.

Gotta say I didn't have the US turns the Gaza Strip into a housing development but I really should have I guess

Microsoft Teams is trash software and I STG if it just cost me this job...

You shake it and turn it over, it comes up the way it always does: "Nothing ever happens."

New — I'm told USAID employees who tried entering another agency bldg (not HQ) earlier this morning were being turned away by security guards with unknown man blocking turnstiles. Man said msg late last night should have said all buildings closed. But he suddenly left and access reopened—for now.

Here's my #darkwoke take: we're in this mess because we stopped bullying idiots. No, not every voice is equally valuable. Yes, your facts are wrong and, yes, you should feel bad. Read a book or sit the fuck down and listen to the experts.

hahahaha

If Federal court orders are being ignored, States seriously need to start talking about seceding. The actual consequences of the breakdown of the rule of law are grave and far-reaching and no democracy can survive it. It's over.

The experts, lawyers, and scholars who I’ve been speaking with since last night agree with me that it’s a coup and that this a 5-alarm fire.

everybody get ready to shake their Francis Fukuyama magic 8 balls

Trump is managing to unify all of Canadian politics against him.

Just knocked a second interview out of the park. This was the post-SQL, cognitive, and personality assessment job. One more stage, which is a 2-hour hands on with an engineer, but I'm feeling good about it.

Sorry, bucko. First US air disaster in 15 years happened on your watch.

everything i want to say at the moment could be considered an actionable threat so i will instead be beaming my thoughts via psychic powers to anyone actually capable

I followed up to a 2nd round interview email so fast I'm genuinely concerned they will think I'm crazy.

This is constitutional crisis stuff. You don't get to do this. It's literally in the Constitution and illegal under existing law.
