If you know this joke, schedule a check-up with your doctor

In college our computer science club president, a man in his 50s who was changing careers, invited the club to a party at his place in a remote part of the high desert where he lived off the grid. Some friends of mine made a wrong turn and were greeted by a screaming man pointing a shotgun at them.

I love security trainings with questions like: "Sensitive information should be protected by: a) storing it in a secure safe b) storing it in your shoe c) eating it d) all of the above"

Starting a service where you hire people who actually read a book to listen to your conversations and tell you what to say about those books so you can sound smart

A film series that switches to George Lazenby for one movie, switches BACK to Sean Connery for one movie before landing on Roger Moore is now worried about the character dying. Film universes are a blight, film canons are a curse, continuity is its harbinger, and we are all poorer for its presence

"Pro-democracy Americans should use 2026 to primary any Democrat from the Don’t Fight caucus and demand new Congressional leadership ahead of the bigger fight in 2028, when there’s a risk the Trump regime has consolidated enough authoritarian power that elections are not free and fair."

Solution: Bond regenerates by Doctor Who rules

God I want to see a million “Dems demanding new leadership” articles today, I want it to be a narrative Schumer can’t escape

I wrote about Chuck Schumer newrepublic.com/article/2029...

Solid evidence that yes, the senators who voted to give up people's healthcare are providing cover for other senators. Consider any senator who hasn't put out a statement condemning this as being part of the plot!

He’s about to stroke out from all the pressure and I cannot stop thinking about how the dem senate gave him a way out of half of it lol

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life. I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness. Join me in building a better future: okayfail.com/2025/in-prai...

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I think it is increasingly obvious that federal workers in the beltway + inconveniences at airports were the determinants of this shutdown. You can try to spin 5D logic on this but ultimately it was the dems willing to sellout everyone else for that.

Logging on this morning

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Amid ICE attacks, L.A. community orgs call on the Dodgers not to accept a White House visit.

I'd say put this in the Louvre, but uh, you know

Anyway, I think you can see this influence still in the ideas I care about untangling, as in the "masculine energy" quotes in tech, the social construction of hierarchies in which so many of us suffer. These beliefs are enormous. They are also changeable. www.fightforthehuman.com/why-i-cannot...

Exciting personal news! An article of mine is in the ACM Queue! "Memory Safety for Skeptics" argues for pursuing memory safety, with or without Rust, including when to do it, how to decide it's worth it, and how to do it effectively! queue.acm.org/app/ #rustlang

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

now to watch the democratic party trip over itself eulogising one of this century's defining war criminals

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Oh hey, proof that X is faking clickthrough numbers by opening links in the background without users ever clicking on them

Blocking is part of life; you can't force people to want to interact with you.

It is also plainly evil to say that a condition of a program designed to feed hungry people is that you can't do anything *else* to feed hungry people when the program is defunded.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

Oh wow, I used to work with Clinton! No idea he was doing atproto stuff now, that's awesome!

This is the photo.

I'm a Dodger fan and can't help but be thrilled that they won. But those Blue Jays were something else and deserve all the kudos. As one wag said on BSky when they beat the Yankees "Any team that beats the Yankees is America's team.If that's the Toronto Blue Jays, so be it. I don't make the rules."

My street right now lmao

BACK TO BACK

Hell yeah, nine more innings of ball

On the Blue Jays’ class toward Alex Vesia, who is away from the Dodgers while dealing with a family emergency right now:

Whatever happens tonight, this has been a great postseason and a beautiful, anxiety-inducing World Series!

If you want to learn about implementing type systems this is basically the canonical place to start
