now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett www.ft.com/content/c0ae...

Sorry but I love it every time that the fraud betting apps go health insurance mode and find the smallest discrepancy to justify not paying out to the inside traders who are its core customer base. Eat shit.

I can tell it's tax season from the IRS-impersonating email spam and #malware landing in my inbox. It's not a sophisticated campaign, but they did some things right I got a good chuckle from the things they did wrong (gif attached of the "IRS" webpage) 😁 Blogged: chris.partridge.tech/2026/tax-sea...

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

Now that we have LLM coding agents: * The value of simple code is ~$0. * The value of high quality and necessarily-complex code is higher than ever.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

This guy can’t stop getting W’s

When I try to explain to people that investors are generally very, very stupid people this is what I mean.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

But the doomers assured me that the law was dead and we might as well give up apnews.com/article/trum...

this is so cool (dead serious). i love that social media is like this again

everything that is old is new again

the republican line to open corruption in the government is “WE DON’T CARE” lmfao

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

This is bonkers.

There are a lot of things wrong with this country, but it’s hard to imagine anything less American than the President threatening to revoke someone’s citizenship for the crime of free speech.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

JUST IN: ProPublica’s “Life of the Mother” series, which exposes the fatal consequences of abortion bans, has won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. This is the second consecutive year we’ve been awarded this distinction and our eighth Pulitzer: www.propublica.org/series/life-...

Remember how all the cyber security people said not to backdoor end-to-end encryption? That sensitive data should be encrypted in transit AND at rest?

The Autism "study" will be led by a guy who pretended to be a doctor even though he only has a BA in bio and who attempted a small-scale genocide of autistic people through chemical castration, so you know it'll be legit.

The tariffs have just led an innovative U.S. company to scale back sales of its own goods in its home market. Who does this help? What sort of “medicine” is this?

Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

alright, no more joking around. butlerian jihad starts tomorrow

If you have to pay people to vote your way, it must be hard to comprehend people hating you for free.

Second anniversary of this banger

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

one of the defining features of the techbro dipshits now running the USA is their absolute refusal to consider that anyone, ever, has thought about problems before them time after time they come in, propose a solution that was rejected years ago because it's stupid, and call themselves geniuses

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g. - Small changes - Test that the change works before moving on - (unit) tests wherever you can

Some of us have been warning about this and calling for anti-SLAPP laws (both federal and state) for years and years and years. And I'm not stopping now. Defamation law has been so widely abused to chill speech and so few people know it.

I am begging AI boosters to explain to me how it is in any way time-saving or helpful to have an "assistant" who may be lying to you and whose work you therefore have to check every step along the way.

oh i'm really gonna get some use out of this

mentally, i’m here

here, have some fish from 2002

Seriously though the Stupid Evil Party vs. the Stupid Useless Party is really getting on my fucking nerves.

My internet was out, so Spectrum showed up to my house to troubleshoot, where they noticed a Spectrum van at my neighbor's house, where the technician had disconnected my house from Spectrum ... to make a new connection to my neighbor's house ... while troubleshooting my neighbor's connectivity

Pressure from employees at tech and social media companies has been one of the few things that has been effective in getting these companies to change their policies. What you do, what you say, and what you agree to build in these times matters a lot.

web developers are getting too cocky. if visiting your `.png` URI doesn't give me the raw bytes of a png image and nothing else, your balls should explode if you don't have balls, you grow balls that immediately explode

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys. This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

Once again, we need anti-SLAPP laws in every state and a federal anti-SLAPP law. You shouldn't be able to sue a publisher because you disagree with the framing of their accurate story.
