Rummy rummy rummy I’ve got cards in my tummy

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Agghh this makes me so sad. The ruby community was so special and now it has been functionally taken over by techno fascists (DHH, Shopify). How can we build and sustain open source infrastructure that isn’t beholden to capitalism?

Imagine if the US had just rebranded universal healthcare as a “loyalty program” like frequent flier miles. You earn ”health points” for every day you live in the US that you can spend on “health rewards”. People would eat that shit up

El Poblenou necesita un nombre “hip”. ¿Te gusta “PoNo?”

I love to see this! I also love that anywhere I am in Barcelona, I can usually hail a taxi quickly. It was sad to see the death of taxis in Chicago and frustrating to find a cab in Chicago only to have the driver refuse to use the meter and charge Uber rates www.catalannews.com/politics/ite...

Either I’m really grounding into the Spanish speed of life or I’m just old because I’m really into this downtempo/balearic beat

The real solution to time travel paradoxes

In The Jetsons they never explain why this white family had to move up into a towering sky apartment zoom around in their flying cars. What did they leave behind on the ground? Was it the fallout and wreckage of a nuclear war or just redlining and suburban sprawl?

Happy Dreamcast 909 day to all those who celebrate! this is the only day of the year you can combine these japanese electronics

Oh gawd

I honestly liked the look of Sagrada Familia better without the central spire when I saw it 13y ago

I saw a man wander out into a bike lane while looking at his phone and get run over by a cyclist on a bicing. This happened 7m from me. I'm pretty sure he will have a concussion. Be careful out there! I think that goes double for cyclists. They are the ones with the most "power" in these situations

i constantly think about this post

"It is important that the EU doesn't yield on tech regulation because this [issue] is so fundamentally close to all aspects related to sovereignty and would create a dangerous precedent."

Center/center-left strategy in Europe sees Denmark as a model on countering the right by going hardline on immigration while championing socialist policy. But can they really outflank the right? Interesting survey numbers too on European opinions on migration elpais.com/internaciona...

“Framed as a proverbial ‘kill switch’ by many in Brussels, the debate has shifted from whether it could be triggered to when. This, in turn, has prompted renewed calls by the EU and member states to advance the continent’s “technology sovereignty,” writes Trevor H. Rudolph.

It’s interesting to me how Spanish writing tells you so much about how to pronounce things. There’s ¿ which says “intone as a question” and ‘ which tells you which syllable to emphasize and ñ which tells you to pronounce it “ny”. English is just like “here are some letters good luck!”

I had one of these until the CCD went on the fritz and turned everything a shade of pink. It had a larger CCD which supposedly meant clearer photos plus a carl-zeiss lens and one of the first IR/laser auto focuses. Basically a higher grade point and shoot. But yeah the pivoting body was pretty silly

"If we die, let us know that we are happy and firm, and let us transmit in our name that we are real people..."

I resent that I am still subjected to the audacity of busibody Americans spreading harmful misinfo even when living in Europe & from a stranger (she said we met at an event) in an unsolicited DM, too. 🤦 For the 1,000th time, you can still receive SSDI benefits while living abroad (in most cases).

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

As climate change gets worse, everyone should take a page out of Spain’s book. In the hottest weeks introduce shorter work weeks, entire months off. Reduce activity to keep people cool AND generate less CO2. Live in the present moment. Take a nap. Heal from capitalism.

Yes very bomb

Technically a Caesar cipher is military-grade encryption. They don’t mention *which* military

I am not a philosopher or a neuroscientist but the question I keep having is, how is our “experience” and “meaning” more valid than a computer’s? IOW how do we know our brains aren’t just complicated matrix transformations?

"Nice factoid, did your chat pick that out for you?"

In a rural Vermont county, spotty cellphone coverage is the norm. But a local tinkerer is using old technology to help his community stay connected free of charge.

Your gut instinct to playing to a room of less than 10 people shouldn’t be “man I thought I was gonna sell the place out”, it should be “the people in this room are my new friends and I look forward to getting to know them.” But it requires you to take the first step to talk to them afterwards.

I think Luke Skywalker’s whiny dialogue in Ep IV makes more sense if he’s supposed was supposed to be younger like Anakin in Ep I or II. Leia’s comment “aren’t you a little short to be a storm trooper” makes sense if he’s a short boy or teen.

"...the new government faced a “post-illiberal trilemma”: In principle, Tusk’s government was committed to delivering quick, effective, and unimpeachably legal solutions to illiberalism. In practice however, it could often fulfill at best only two of these three conditions at once."

Bank: we blocked these transactions because they looked suspicious. Someone was trying to charge in Euros. Me: yes I’ve moved to Spain. Is there a way I can set a travel notice? Bank: we don’t do travel notices we just monitor for suspicious activity Me: 🤦‍♀️

Why yes that’s an olive stuffed with a cornichon

What is it with web apps nowadays opening new windows for every damn link I click? Excuse me but I can do it myself if I want by holding down cmd

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

I don’t think people are ready for the scale at which AI is not only monitoring internet content but every chat, call, and meeting as well as work tasks. This enables orgs to either automate or “grade” each interaction and task.

it is a moral imperative that you resist the temptation to stop feeling

Or… we constantly throw more AI at it until the holes and CVEs are found and fixed. Or maybe a new app can be written from scratch so fast that your cluster is a bubbling cauldron of ephemeral apps so by the time someone exploits it there’s already a replacement. Meanwhile the earth burns.

Welcome to Spain, I hope you like pork

it’s really not fair to all of us that someone like hulk hogan can endorse a demonic entity and usher in the end of days and then just die to escape the world he helped mold

one of my favorite music videos of all time is the Zbigniew Rybczynski-directed video for Chuck Mangione's Diana D, Video synchronization and 2x-scale Chuck in full view what a glorious NTSC-formatted Jazz Italian, RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVKA...

Please let’s let life imitate art and call it “Cyberpsychosis” instead of “ChatGPT Psychosis”

A friend of mine had double dragon. I had a Zelda LCD watch where you crawled through a dungeon. It was incredible
