Do they literally want mass rioting? This is how you speedrun mass rioting.

This was my thought exactly- Long March is not designed to clean up after itself

85% of the time, it works, every time - palmer luckey, probably

nah, it's the SV bank crowd again, really. A bunch of VCs in the RW groupchat pissing and shitting everywhere because they gambled and lost, most likely.

there is virtually no debt funding in AI and no one is really overweight on debt other than OpenAI, which will become a division of Microsoft more or less by mechanical operation of its idiotic deal with them if it is insolvent.

Just 21% of the adult U.S. population got vaccinated against COVID last year- a proportion that has been steadily declining. With less vaccine-induced immunity, more people would benefit even more from getting vaccinated THIS year.

SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO NOTE. This new research calls into question the idea that younger individuals and those without risk factors don’t need the vaccine. INSTEAD the data shows that, while the vaccine is MOST effective for older individuals and those with comorbidities, it was ALSO protective in

performance will follow suit. The COVID vaccines’ effectiveness against symptomatic disease has generally waned since the first year they became widely available: the 2024–2025 shots offer 29% to 64% protection compared with the 94% protection given by the vaccines in 2020. This dip, however, IS

Hey, you need to keep getting booster shots

One last note about Watson, Crick, and Franklin: when Watson, Crick, and Wilkins stole her photographs, FRANKLIN was a PhD with a student of her own. Crick was a grad student. Watson was a pretty newly minted PhD (1950). Far too many people don’t know it was DOCTOR Franklin.

There are email newsletters that post better quarterly revenues.

if I know anyone who knows anyone who works on the IEEE website, give them a hug and offer them a mug of coffee and then ask them from me why every link I try to open is returning 418 (which is 'I'm a teapot' or web server for shan't!)

"But what if the pretty charts and graphs make claims that I'm predisposed to or desperately want to believe?" *Especially* then.

the contrast between the left in NYC and San Francisco is incredible winning the mayoralty by relentlessly focusing on the cost of living and making government more effective vs. promoting a shitcoin named after a bodega cat run over by a Waymo

Pro tip for #sciwri #sciencewriters meeting: tie a knot in your lanyard so your name tag is near your face & won’t flip around & nobody has to do the awkward navel gaze to read it

This might be of interest to a few people The Boring Fund: Small (£200) grants to UK non-profits, charities and voluntary groups who just need a bit of help to pay for boring running costs like web hosting, admin, insurance etc Apply by 30 November www.christinapoultoncreative.co.uk/boring-fund

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

Fun: Edge 142 has a regression whereby if you capitalize any character of the "msedge.exe" filename in the full path (e.g. "C:\program files (x86)\application\msEdge.exe") it will exit during startup. Doesn't repro if you just Win+R>MSEdge.exe because that uses "App Paths" lookup in the registry.

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason. It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls. And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

you know, there might be another reason to move big events like Kubecon out of the US and into somewhere else in North America

alt text the a news story is claiming millions of retirees will be hammered do we have millions of people earning more than a million a year? sounds like they should be paying tax

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

Patriarchy is indeed self-enforcing—men are pressured to observe its values *and enforce them on others* in order to avoid ridicule and violence for being seen as un-manly (i.e. being too like a woman).

It's really important to note that not only was Watson a racist and misogynist but his contribution to the double helix was listening to a Rosalind Franklin lecture and getting mad because Francis Crick wouldn't invite him to his sex parties.

guess the distinguished elderly white man

When @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social figured this out like a year ago and pushed his assembly caucus off Twitter I assumed the rest of the @cademocrats.bsky.social would follow. Bummed it hasn't happened yet

Serbian lawmakers have approved a plan to tear down a historic military site and replace it with a Trump hotel. On brand.

everyone else makes up conversations with their cats, right? like I just told Phryne to stop throwing the water all over the floor and @sbisson.com told her to watch her sister Lyra drinking it which is what water is for and I had Phryne reply that she only drinks from the skulls of her enemies

Epic and Google will absolutely try to use this to get what they want rather than complying with the full ruling; at least the judge isn't letting them seal the full deal and there will be some details on the deal making

I dunno man, I hear this kind of shit from Palantir's execs & from folks like Peter Thiel on the regular, and the only thing it makes me think is that there's no way in hell that I would ever hire anyone who has continued to work for them after they say it. just poisoning the waters like CRAZY, man.

we just interviewed a pretty young Thiel-drop out, and the guy looked absolutely *defeated*. "I can't lie, I've had ... a lot of trouble finding steady work for the last six months." lololol yeah dude, I bet you have, and you ain't gonna find it here, my man!

Hypothesis: The age of the jQuery version in use on a government website can be used as a proxy measure for how abandoned that the site is, in terms of maintenance.

so 25% of Tesla's shares voted no. let's say 10% of them sell.

someone just unloaded 4 million shares

HEARTBREAKING: worst person you know makes a good point

I gave an opening keynote at the FIDO Alliance’s “Authenticate” conference a few weeks ago! My goal was to explain, as clearly as I can, why passkeys are important and how we should use them to reduce the harm that passwords cause. [1/2] YouTube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=otOb...

This also goes toward helping excluded people who have made it into technical areas explain at least a little bit why it feels like you got supported and celebrated and then suddenly turned on and torn down. You probably DID. Because you "thrived" too much and were only supposed to survive.

or possibly "it is very advantageous for me to get the thing which is hard at a steep discount, which I can accomplish by putting a social penalty on it"

I'll tell you something. I have a private theory that this kind of division (which is clear as day to ppl in tech and like, baffling to ppl outside of it) is a version of the "I will help you survive but not thrive" phenomenon but worked out re: tech belonging journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Really interesting piece, with lots of data, and reasons for both hope and dismay. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

look for a LOT of fake Tesla stats to come true

25 years ago and we don’t even get a new pattern of grifting, so much for “disruption”

(Forbes) - The Trump Organization’s second-term push to monetize Donald Trump’s presidency has reached the aisles of military exchanges, as Coast Guard-run stores .. have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider. 🤡 @zacheverson.com www.forbes.com/sites/zachev...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
