would it kill you people to avoid using the word cabal when you're busy being shocked at the influence of rich people

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

With alt text, because it’s important

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

my stance on "illegal immigration" is mostly the same as my stance on means-testing SNAP/housing assistance/SSI/SSDI/welfare/etc., which is that if you're more afraid of anyone "cheating the system" than people suffering, you are morally bankrupt and i fucking hate you ✨

If it ever seems like GenX and elder Millennials are obnoxiously loud about queerphobia and, specifically, trans rights, you have to remember we grew up in a society saturated by homophobia and decided "never again". This shame and hatred must not simply be redirected. It must end with us.

The quotes from ice sound like Ralph from the Simpsons wrote it. “The illegal crime criminal alien crime alien attacked me so I used my service pistol gun to bang bang him”

"without witness, without reward" is a really good principle to follow. whether it's action, kindness, providing aid, or charity, you can do a lot of good in this world without seeking the validation that comes from the number on your post going up.

I don't think pro-gen-ai / anti-gen-ai is going to matter a whole lot of if we keep building a future that makes a butlerian jihad possible.

"hated Hulk Hogan" turning out to be a useful marker of allies in times of trouble

ios using friends, is avant-garde in the ios dictionary? it appears to not be for me. which is weird.

Why does americas test kitchen rhyme anise with anus

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Achievement unlocked: staring at assembly code for work. To think I used to only have to do this on my own time.

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

I read on HN that some person is considered unhinged. The evidence is a link to something about stallman. I go “ah yes must by an apologist for the pedo stuff or the eugenics stuff” *reads* What the fuck this seems very hinged to me.

I hate auto switching and auto sleep in modern displays

So first Tylenol and now couch fucker is going after ibuprofen ?

wow it’s a lot of stuff to customize the base image for fedora atomic. It’s actually much more work than nix…

At the Opera with my lovely spouse. We dressed up, but a lot of other people dressed up as pirates. Can’t believe I didn’t think of dressing up as a pirate for Pirates of Penzance.

Ummm obviously the correct answer is 1:ϕ where ϕ=(1+sqrt(5))/2

how much effort should I put into publishing crowdstroke, something that when run on a lan may (not sure that it does) increase the amount of telemetry that crowdstrike sends back by a rather large number?

Has anyone made a software engineering methodology based on what the pak protectors do in the ring world universe?

Starbucks not having stocked up on the baked apple croissants for Rosh Hashanah is extremely antisemitic

Seattle/Tacoma folks, this means we need to pressure KOMO advertisers

Today I learned to use mail merge in Apple pages and so far I have 6 personalized letters to companies that have advertised on KOMO (my local Sinclair affiliate). Tomorrow I’ll call five of them too.

I made something quite close to chicken kadhi tonight, and I think besan is quite good at thickening sauces. Will make again.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

I will never understand why Google *could not race fast enough* to completely torpedo their own generational credibility.

I can’t unsubscribe from the Washington post twice, so I canceled my Amazon prime subscription which was due to renew this month.

Demon slayer was good except maybe the last flash back shouldn’t have been an hour long.

if you want to rejoice with us, please refrain from saying things like "even Brazil could do it". Brazil was under a 20-year dictatorship sponsored by the US. we managed to defeat them, we've been rebuilding ever since, and to this day the US still wants to interfere. respect our democracy.

Ah ok here's a fun tip I ran across by accident, hopefully it still works if your algorithm starts going conservative, watch Tasting History by Max Miller. it's like algorithmic bug spray for fascism www.youtube.com/@TastingHist...

Why do men bitch about people enjoying flavors in beverages.

I have just compiled Rust code for bare-metal SPARCV8 and executed it under Solaris 2.6 on a microSPARC-II. I suspect that no-one has ever done this before. Literally no-one.

@binaryvixen899.bsky.social I haven’t been able to rustconf (for reasons) and your stream of stuff has been very enjoyable, thanks!

Once again the power of social media is people extending influence to it that it doesn't have. Your average American does not use Bluesky or Twitter. They both influence, and live rent free in, the minds of thought leaders; not in the minds of normal people, who don't care about socmedia discourse.

The news that Claude is going to train on my chats is not a problem because I only use it to make my fake restaurant franchises (c.f. Spaghetti hospital) or the many fake startups (garbitage, ice teeth, etc).

Just got home from the Eric Adams scavenger hunt. We had to find 300 children’s teeth hidden in the alley behind Zero Bond, and use them to build “an electric chair for rats.” The winners got to keep the teeth. I hate this city.

Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries. Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross. Protect trans folks.

I really hate millicores. Just use a decimal point you weirdos.
