Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

They finally got around to shredding the 3rd Amendment

it's super clear that the reason every rich guy and company wants people to ask their genAI all their questions is so they can easily intercept and insert answers for questions that benefit them or whoever will pay them. it's a shortcut to how Google abused the position it took them a decade to gain

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Once again delighted that the Irish people went with the option that was cool af

im more than willing to believe in redemption and growth for virtually everyone, and in the grand karmic scale of life im not convinced a nazi type tattoo is a major offense. but i tell you what: i am sick of defiant pols damning all legitimate critiques and driving us all forward into the void

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

It’s not lost on me that Cuomo, who has been repeatedly credibly accused of sexual harassment, is using AI-generated examples of gender violence to try and smear his opponent, who has never been accused of it

Hold on, lemme check my IG DMs, LinkedIn mail, gmail, multiple discord servers, Discourse, slack workspaces, WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage, Germ, Session, Matrix, signal, IRC, GitHub issues and PRs, Clickup, and bsky DMs and get back to you

i think this might give them too much credit but even if true, “the best we can find is a 70-something who isn’t even onboard with basic shit like ditching the filibuster” is either rank incompetence of actively and intentionally sabotaging any future dem majority.

They more or less come out and say it these days. There’s no other way to understand the desire for government policy that is designed to make women get into relationships. If she loved you and wanted you, she wouldn’t need to be forced to marry you by law. Simple as that.

The hard pill to swallow is that even in 2025 an awful lot of people simply do think of women as property. Not any deeper than that.

”It’s not polite to discuss this” Please GTFOH

Politicians and political appointees are people who have signed up to have their political choices publicly and critically analyzed BECAUSE THEY ARE EXERCISING POWER OVER PEOPLE 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

"i woke up with it after a bender, it basically appeared on its own like magic!" dawg if I woke up with nazi ink I'd be trying to dig that shit out with a cheese grater before the hangover even wore off

of all the nazi tattoos, he got the stinky melted totenkopf skull? abandoning humanity is one thing, abandoning basic aesthetics on top of that is some next level hatred

you: block and move on! they want you engaging with them! they want to troll you! also you: here, let me repost this AI generated video of one of the guy i told you to block and move on, crowning himself as a king and making nancy pelosi bow in front of him. this really pisses me off. im sharing it

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

You hate it how companies like Google and Microsoft keep shoving AI down your throats, you have no idea how much worse this is for tech workers in regular companies, who have to actually report on how this crap improves productivity.

Have you ever been so fucking delighted by a username/icon set that it made you follow a total stranger

it’s insane that him identifying as a communist is seen as disqualifying but joining Blackwater in 2018 is perfectly fine

Promise me that yall aren't going to platform the eventual "repentent ICE agent" stories that will come out...

fuck john roberts. honestly. fuck him.

tbh there's a real difference between a young republican and a Young Republican. if the former doesn't recoil from interaction with the latter, though, it's immaterial.

I try to be as rational as I can about COVID because I have to avoid the disease -- not my fears about the disease. And I do have access to an epidemiologist who can read the science for me. My rationality says that without massive institutional support for air quality I'm masking inside forever

All I can add to the “we reject universal masking” discourse is that it’s not about masks. You aren’t rejecting universal masking, which never happened; you’re rejecting having to think about wearing a mask, and maybe feeling badly about thinking about masks. Can’t help you there.

sorry I have a lot of patience for people who don't necessarily get what's up with still being covid cautious but I have essentially none for people who act like it's left-wing to ignore COVID

rational assessment of the threat environment says that if the CO2 is above 500ppm you should probably mask around other people if you don't want COVID chances are you don't know what the CO2 level is, but 500 is "great ventilation inside" or "maybe a bit covered outdoors"

The freedom of speech lovers are at it again

Those of us living with complex chronic illness have been screaming about eugenics since the “rush back to normal”. Once people heard that Covid was “only a risk to the vulnerable” they couldn’t wait to drop precautions. That’s eugenics. The vulnerable matter too. Also, it’s a risk to everyone

If you are applying for a faculty job in Texas, argue for a higher salary than you'd get at other institutions. The lack of real tenure protections is a de facto compensation cut and you should negotiate accordingly. Texas search committees know that getting good candidates is an uphill battle.

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

For my newsletter today, I wrote about the American police state and how Democrats are going to have to kill it if they have any hope of rebuilding from the authoritarian Trump regime. www.burnsnotice.com/democrats-mu...

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

Payment Processors be like "WE DON'T WANT CONSENTING ARTISTS AND SEX WORKERS USING US" while still happily sucking off Twitter Blue subs to produce AI generated CSAM and revenge porn. The hypocrisy.

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018. bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

When two people have a 20+ reply chain and the third guy jumps in

I am so weary of that class of extremely online leftists who think being a Serious Person™️ who only posts and does nothing else is superior to being a Fun Person™️ who physically shows up

This is why I always chuckle whenever I hear some elected Dem talk about a bipartisan deal to re-open the government like dude you're the last person left on earth that hasn't heard about the business stylings of Donald Trump. The Art of the Deal is not paying for services rendered

AI has lost the dunce vote. It’s over

We have the timidity of countless corporate and university GCs to thank for the fact DEI is treated as though it were illegal.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment. An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action. A disinformation machine as our journalism fails. A bias machine as fascism takes root. A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

don't forget! fuck the salvation army

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

This guy is facing prison for engaging in the act of *citation*

damn. hoping it at least signifies something

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game So he flipped his positive review to negative Still totally worth it
