Once again begging you all to please ridicule the stupid shit idiots say and not what they look like

🎙️ @lmfinney.bsky.social is speaking at #StirTrek2026! "Comparing Promises, Observables, and Signals" 📅 1 May 2026 09:30 AM 🎟️ events.humanitix.com/stir-trek-20... We're really looking forward to having Lance at Stir Trek this year!

The temperature is about to plummet, oh, and there's the tornado siren! Temps in the 60s, a tornado, and a prediction of snow, all within 8 hours. #WelcomeToTheMidwest #stlwx

I have always been the kind of developer who only cared about outcomes. Give me the tool, the framework, the head start. I just want my website. A totally different kind of developer exists who cares about the *craft*. Getting that function just right. Those devs are in pain right now.

If your favorite character from The Pitt was the guy who punched the nurse in the face, you'll love SNL's MAHAspital.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0 -- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars -- has been a direct result of their own actions. If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

You know what we're not griping about enough? That Donald Trump's face is going to be on U.S. currency—on $1 coins—later this year. This will be the first time a living president has appeared solo on a coin, and one of the very few times a living individual has ever been on U.S. coinage.

Why do we need better ethics and social sciences education in STEM - and in particular, tech? This. This is exactly why. The arrogance is astounding.

it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too

Minesweeper: Strait of Hormuz edition

we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

So a single solar panel produces about *100 times more useful energy* than a tank of petrol.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

I just finished www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/748739... If covers how Trump has destroyed the DOJ, with the enthusiastic support of Eileen Cannon and SCOTUS. And also with the unintentional assistance of Garland's DOJ, who let justice be deferred long enough to be denied. I recommend it.

Not a bad view to watch the @stlcitysc.com home opener.

1. Missouri appears to be forging ahead with 3 bathroom bans in public buildings across the state. They heard 3 bills in a single night on the topic. Lawmakers are worried that we could see what happened to Kansas happen there too. The latest from our writer S. Baum.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

It really is pathetic how the entire administration can't go a paragraph with insulting Biden. Nothing but projection from incompetent fascists.

Paternal: Farmer, rancher, and irrigation system installer Maternal: Rancher and union electrician (I think) So, yeah, their grandson who sits in a home office looking at computer screens all day is much less rugged.

Think we need a few new PR options: Approve, but I take no responsibility, because: - I have no clue what this code does and I'm not sure you do either - Clearly someone else is pressuring you to rush this out - AI generated so much code that no human can reasonably review this

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

IMO the worst mistake people make trying to AI-proof their career is dropping everything to learn AI. It's like dropping out of math to study how to push calculator buttons really fast. The skill cap for AI is going to be your understanding of the underlying subject, not how good you are at prompts.

Alan Cumming explains why trans people are like superheroes

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Insane. The anti-trans movement wants an absolute right of parents to control their children, from the kids' religion to their gender. The state must obey the parents. Except when the parents want to affirm their children as transgender. Then the state can do whatever the fuck it wants.

Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

That's the plan, and to the extent the Trump admin even wanted to help (they don't), they illegally dismantled the mechanisms for it, like USAID. It would've served our strategic interests greatly for millions of Iranians to see boxes and crates of vital supplies with U.S. flags on them. Oh well.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

2011:

Hegseth is wholeheartedly endorsing the core premise of fascism: industry, as part of the private sphere, must be subordinated to the military objectives of the state.

I'm so uncomfortable rooting for Anthropic.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

A lawsuit has now been filed against the state by two trans men. (17/15)

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

Part of the reason the whole country hasn't been screaming about trans Kansans who drive being made criminals overnight is because there's so much else that's unconstitutional and horrifying. But part of it is because it's happening to trans people.

This first episode of the new season of Scrubs already feels more like why I always loved the early seasons of the show than any of the 9th season reboot ever did.

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

Also, the US Border Patrol murdered another person. The details will infuriate you.
