If anyone sincerely believes they're getting raptured tomorrow, please feel free to venmo me your remaining savings, since you won't be needed them any longer. I will also accept titles to cars and houses, guns, jewelry, electronics, and any stocks, bonds, or securities.

Again, pancakes are the food of the workers, the practical, the revolutionaries. They are a uniting force, in that so many cultures have a version of them. Waffles, in their requirement of special equipment and penchant for hogging more syrup than they need, are the food of the bourgeoisie.

Closed the laptop and thinking about the weekend and some great things coming up. Happy a good weekend y’all!

READ HIM

Jason Garcia has been in the ICU since September 2 for a perforated appendix and needs funds to cover their hospitalization and recovery. I really can’t overstate how good people Jason is. They always show up for everyone in need with so much care. Now it’s our turn to show up and care for them! ❤️‍🩹

does anyone have a rec for a gun range in the Bay Area that lets you rent guns and isn't run by Nazis? I sorta wanna practice my shooting again but I am very reluctant to actually own a gun.

Wait until he finds out what it took to topple the third reich

There was a HUGE contingent of very hacky comics who went anti-Biden/pro-Trump claiming that "woke scolds" were "canceling comedy." Feels like maybe they should be speaking up?

Who do I know in Denver?

Yes, the news is dumb, but "I want universal healthcare and better income equality, as long as it doesn't benefit the queers, Black or Brown people, or immigrants" isn't exactly a new liberal stance.

Yes, because a large, centralized resistance has always been the best policy for protecting its members

Just picked this one up on a good deal Ambi safety and slide catch out of the box, viridian green dot and 5 mags

Today is also a great day for this

Every so often, I watch videos of drummers like Carter Beaufort and Yussef Dayes and I reflect on the stunning amount of hubris I possessed to ever think I was a good drummer.

I thought Joe McCarthy was dead?

Oddly enough, these two types of handguns are among the least likely to discharge in the holster.

ngl your posts have been an inspiration, I remember one from the days when I followed you on twitter that was something along the lines of: you don't need to buy a gun, but you should be buying ammo. you may not need it, but someone will. I think about that post a lot.

Today is a great day for marginalized folks to buy some guns, ammunition, medkits, water purification, and do some training with all of them.

No better place for a white dude hide in plain site. Any description is going to accurately describe 20% of the state.

Also like, every who’s acting surprised about political violence happening as if this was new and unpredictable, where the fuck have you been? What resort have you been at for these months/years/decades?

Were today’s liberals in 1945 Italy, they would be clutching their pearls about how Mussolini should have only been scolded and mocked by pundits comedians, and how “ViOleNcE iS nEvEr ThE AnsWeR!!¡!”

Saw the video, looks like he’s gonna need more than a band aid

I’ve got a feeling Charlie Kirk suffered the same type of gunshot wound Trump did Wonder if he’s gonna send the national guard into Utah to contain the lawlessness there

I just heard someone refer to humanoid and canine robots as “spark donkeys” and I may never recover

You're never going to get me to feel bad about people who voted for Trump and are now suffering under his policies. I don't care if they're "on our side" now. I'm never going to trust you because as soon as you're no longer personally suffering, you'll be right back to trying to harm others.

Celebrating Latin American heritage in a team meeting, and our LATAM coworkers are presenting in their native language, which is great... ...and of course someone complains in the chat that they're not "getting value" from the meeting because they don't speak other languages

I’m never beating the neurodivergent 3-beverage allegations

I don’t know that I’d call that a win. It sounds like a stalemate. Win would be if there were no ice agents left to move to Chicago because they stopped showing up to work.

So @abgushte.bsky.social @amypearlman.bsky.social and @sidneymiller.bsky.social took me to get my face painted by a professional for my birthday and the results were pretty, well, pretty 🤩🤩🤩

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

We are in the absolute wildest of times

I feel like we are just a few good jury nullifications away from military tribunals trying people in occupied cities and this brings me the opposite of joy.

To this point, almost every single org I talk to that's building agents is using them exactly like microservices to build various pipelines. It's like they just discovered that is an architectural possibility. It's just that now, the agents cost a lot more money and resources to do the same thing.

I had to have a “single agent vs multi agent” conversation with a customer today, basically using the same logic and arguments of monolith vs micro service and god we really never learn anything.

I feel like the Venn diagram of people who are into the Trump persona and aesthetic and the people who like going to the Las Vegas strip is a circle.

Ringing in my 50th by pending lazy evening with @abgushte.bsky.social and feeling absolutely adored and treasured. I am so incredibly in love with her.

I feel like we allowed a lot of bullshit to grow roots with “agreed to disagree”/“everyone is entitled to their opinion” about things that are objectively false and/or harmful because we valued the relationship, the theater of civility, or order more than standing up for whats right.

The one thing I really want for birthday would be a gift for us all.

I want the t shirt that says “Magneto was right”

Saturdays in fall remind me that it’s never not going to be wild to me that people who spent a lot of money and time pursuing an education with the goal of making a better life for themselves will hate someone for doing the same thing at a different institution. You’re all fucking nerds

It’s 5:30 and I’m starting off the long birthday weekend with this one. Happy Friday y’all!

My mind turned this into “paneer colada” and I def gagged audibly

AI art does not exist. It is an oxymoron.

Reminder that adding additional gun regulation blindly just makes it harder for marginalized folks to have access to them and gives brown shirts more license to oppress (see also: stop & frisk).

Counterpoint: different guns have different purposes, just like clothes. Having more guns than purposes is impractical, but more than 3-4 purposes is reasonable, especially if you hunt or EDC. This isn’t to say that people don’t go overboard, there’s def easily more than 3-4 reasonable purposes

When this is all said and done, Rolling Stone should be honored as heroes.

I guarantee all the libs will even more fervently tell us that we need to seem as docile as possible to "win". No amount of picket signs or recording them is going to change anything because they don't care that you don't like it and they're not even trying to hide anything anymore.

Everyone talks about machine learning but no one talks about machine yearning
