Personally I wouldn't listen to him because he sold the house out from under his ex wife while she was actively dying of cancer

What

This is the Executive Producer of the (at least nominally) left-wing news program The Young Turks, with almost a million followers. Really does feel like we're headed down a bad road with this growing Red-Brown alliance.

*looking up from my Belgian ale again*

Mfw I’m 12h ahead

🚨 Please share widely! 🚨 I'm hiring a postdoc (from Aug 1) to help build a new research program on politically sustainable immigration policies at Notre Dame. Looking for a social scientist with strong quant skills, familiarity with new computational tools, and interest in public-facing research.

What local Dans are calling ‘Palantir but not evil’ ‘an operating system for governments’ and ‘bloody hard work by Dan and @ralucahippie.bsky.social ‘ is almost ready for public beta.

Posted the Hebrew from my 3x great grandfather's grave to a Jewish genealogical group to ask for a translation. Now they're having arguments over it. I feel like I'm to blame.

Building, building.

building, building.

Also Dan enjoyed doing some running.

“How would a ninth-grader’s slumber party in the Oval Office go?”

🎉 Looking for new work. 15 years front-end dev + Design Systems specialist. I help folks build, maintain & transform design systems. I'm also available for focused projects, front-end builds, codebase modernisation. Short to long term. Let's chat - [email protected] reposts appreciated <3

Tourette’s discourse shows the poverty of ‘mental health awareness’. We’ve successfully argued depression isn’t an attitude problem and people can’t just toughen up, but people can’t generalise the principle to other mental illnesses and disabilities.

With the amount of assets they’ve moved into the Middle East, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re going for full occupation.

Me, Lord of business: I should start a lit mag. Me, king of business: that is somehow too profitable, what about a review of non fiction

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

Think if you give a Liz Truss venture half a million, it's not even a case that you need to be taxed more, but you should be made a ward of the state and your assets seized for your own safety.

👘 🦊?

No, leftists do not in fact have to hand it to fascists who happen to hate Jews more than they hate Palestinians.

Pardon

It’s somewhat irritating to see ‘judeo-Christian heritage’ applied to a country from which our eviction for 400 years was at least a theoretical break from persecution

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

One aspect of the horrific driving here is just how much people seem to hate speed limits. People will obviously speed in the uk, but in a 30kmph stretch on a dangerous / loose surface road I had about 5 cars RAGE pass me at 80?!

Also present: a German man trying to chat up a fellow tourist by explaining the ‘particular efficiency’ of his route around the country.

Two broad observations: first, that ai skills are essentially quite complicated (compared to baseline mathematics skills) mathematical ones if you mean ‘writing the programs’. Second, the pressure to up skill was driven by the scarcity of those skills causing

Tfw someone’s working in your office

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.
