"But in an existing codebase (brownfield) with years of accumulated conventions... they’ll happily introduce a new pattern that contradicts the three other ways this codebase already solves the same problem." Yup, can confirm. (thousand yard stare)

Share a television show that raised you.

I have never been more proud of my Minnesotan heritage.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

I would respect those bastards more if they had the balls to elect an antipope and get it over with.

Here is a video of a frozen creek that had begun to thaw, and the water was flowing beneath the thin ice on top. I took this because it was soothing and wonderfully bloopy and I wanted to listen to it for hours. You are all welcome to enjoy it, too. Let your brain settle here and rest for a moment.

I've been seeing a smokescreen of AI-hallucinated faces and AI-hallucinated names for this guy all day, so it's nice to have an actual news org out there doing the actual research.

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture) It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

I've never lived outside California, but I've visited/stayed with friends and family in a lot of places. Green states have airports where I've stopped long enough for a meal, blue states have scenery I've enjoyed from a moving train.

This articulates my exact feelings about San Francisco, the tech industry, & the entire social crisis of Capitalism we are all facing. Ms. Solnit writes with fierce precision & grace, connecting the dots with damning evidence rather than hyperbole. Essential reading. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Stop taking your decorations down IT’S ONLY TURTLE DOVES

I haven't played CO:E33 and probably won't now... It's like learning that an award-winning distiller took a tiny little piss in the mash. Clearly it didn't affect the flavor of the whiskey; everyone raved about it! But now that I know it's there... well, there are a lot of other things to drink.

A much better critique than "this show about loneliness doesn't have enough dialogue to keep my attention".

Seeing Dr. Strangelove for the first time as a kid in the (packed) Castro Theatre and laughing so hard that my sides actually hurt. Many years later, also in the Castro, seeing Lawrence of Arabia for the first time, in 70mm. What an absolute trip. Movie did not feel its length.

Time for me to cathartically rewatch "Dennis Takes a Mental Health Day" for the dozenth time.

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: CAKE Doc Watson They Might Be Giants The Zombies Garbage

hey, did we ever get an update on how this turned out

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

this is a far more explicit death threat from people with the actual means to carry it out

Reading the ongoing defenses of whole-language in the replies makes me imagine someone bursting into a resume workshop and objecting that having a job is useless if you don't also have money to spend on things.

*accordion hands* they were the best emails, maybe even perfect emails, many have said. sleepy joe didn't even write his own emails...

If it's possible to bully Elon Musk into enjoying a sunset then I will finally accept that there are use cases for bullying

As I keep saying, it‘s a tough time to be a “words mean things“ person

Story pitch: V for Vendetta, but instead of Guy Fawkes the main character styles themselves after Ned Ludd.

“Image macro” is a more accurate name than “meme.”

I'm going to be the rambling old man at the socialist revolution continually introducing motions to exhume the corpses of the Bush administration to be put on trial like Pope Formosus. "This again..." Yes, this again! Grab a shovel, comrades. History cries out for justice.

I don't even post anything on LI, but I did this just to help the "how many people hate this as a concept" dashboard that I know some PM is looking at.

“It's rough sledding these days if you're the sort of Christian who believes that the meek will inherit the earth & that God can be found among the prisoner & the sick, the stranger & the outcast, & that the best use of power is to give it away at your own expense to those who have none…”

“San Francisco was truly one of the great cities of the world and then 15 years ago. It went wrong. It went woke.” -Donald Trump in reference to sending the National Guard 15 yrs ago, SF was remade into a tech city, with tax breaks for Uber, Twitter, Airbnb. What went wrong was inequality.

Wow, Soros must've had to take out a second mortgage!

this isn't hyperbole. they're bragging about making these accounts on twitter to "make all the liberals cry". the us government social media accounts are run by 4channers. just block and go about your day.

I was married but I'm not married any more. Women don't like the vehicle.

A thing I learned doing family research is that old directories would have everyone's business address right next to their home address, I guess so if you were trying to call on someone during business hours you knew where to go?

Many years ago I tried this game with my wife, who had no prior TTRPG experience, and we had a lot of fun with it. It's the kind of thing you can play over drinks at the pub, as we did, and I imagine it'd be a great party game at the right kind of party.

reading through this thread where it's increasingly clear the judge is fed up with this shit and then getting to this line

just guess

Technologically advance a band: Strawberry Smart Watch

By my math, *at least* 200 million Americans are simultaneously alive and dead.

"Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?"

"The thing about the murder of Charlie Kirk is that, in the places that are deemed to matter, he is considered a human being, and to varying degrees, the humanity of most of the rest of us is situational and subject to debate by people like Charlie Kirk."

I would encourage everyone who is rightfully horrified by this to think about the foreseeable consequences of "sweeping" encampments and trashing everything that their residents need for survival, and keep thinking about it during primary season.

If you see this, repost with a vampire who isn't Dracula.

I really thought it was impossible for me to amazed at the stupidity of it all any more. I thought I'd seen everything. Then I read this.
