This is heartbreaking. The people causing this are fucking monsters.

hey guys isn't it weird how they're all saying this at the same time? ignore the fact that this is now happening with Tyler Cowen, an economist who sits at the center of a sprawling system of think tanks and policy "influencers" who have been laundered into DC with both Koch and SV VC money

my sister in law passed away last night literally murdered by the high cost of healthcare and the fear of medical debt

The Republicans have been promising a specific plan as an alternative to Obamacare ever since it passed in 2010. The promise is 15 1/2 years old now. That's probably why they don't seem very sincerely interested in it.

I will never understand the pundit obsession with getting Democrats to solve "political division." Not only is this what they're already doing, but Klein admits that Republicans will never do the same. So elections will remain constant GOP smears and simping Democratic promises of bipartisanship.

President Denies Reality Of Massive Nationwide Protests While Posting Videos of Himself Dumping Shit On Citizens "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command…. And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed–if all records…

i am begging the press to treat trump like they would literally any other president

I woke up and was unable to go back to sleep at about 3AM last night. My sleep issues usually go the other direction. But something felt off. Only this morning did I realize I apparently have the worst superpower: being able to detect that US-EAST-1 is down as a biological function

The Trump and RFK headshots they chose for this announcement are incredible

As a reminder, in 2017, the first Trump admin already kicked the door on H1Bs by cancelling H1B premium processing. Many software engineers in the US had to leave the country. They went to Canadaian, UK and EU offices of US tech companies back then for a year. Also (cont’d)

I just learned there's a painting of the myth of Phaeton as he plummets out of the sky after being struck by Zeus but someone added wings to it and now people get "The Icarus Tattoo"

My biggest criticism of parks and rec is that it actually didn’t go far enough in showing how unhinged the average public commenter can be

Ya know. I keep hearing how AI will eliminate "junior devs," but the same tech requires senior devs to fix, validate, and test the generated code. How are we to create senior devs if there are no junior devs? Just askin'.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

At this rate, can we get a new film series based on this. I know Disney tried before and it failed but Ralph Bakshi took a jab at Lord of the Rings which didn't do so hot but Peter Jackson managed better so anything's possible. Just throwing out alternatives to You-Know-What.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

I'm hearing the FBI is looking for a man in Utah with a rifle, so they must have some really clear footage helping them narrow it down

It’s fucked up that there was a school shooting in Colorado today. Awful that things like that happen.

Happy Anniversary Of The Time Ted Cruz Liked A Stepcest Porn Tweet On 9/11 to all those who celebrate 🥳 Never Forget 🫡

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Amusing how 99% of people using LLMs forget how these things work: They are advanced probability machines. They generate the next most likely token (word) based in the input and their training. Under the hood, it’s a giant matrix multiplication that has eerily good output.

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

Found these in my bag today Miss you, bud

Bull butter! Rest in Power

Of course he's a millionaire

I wish more tools respected `NO_COLOR` or `CI` It doesn't help that they look for `NO_COLOR=1` either What mad lad decided successful exit codes are 0, including tests is like `[]` but bit flags are 1 for true and 0 for false? No wonder so many scripts use "true" and "false" strings internally

Part of me wants him to limp on till the midterms Not that I think The James Dean of Couches and his royal vizier/billionaire would do a better job and can't be beaten, that's a bit like asking me to choose between Hitler or Himmler

Is the cancer ok?

This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.

School closures only seem to matter when Dems can be blamed for them.
