Watched The Stand miniseries with my kids this week. Finished it tonight. It is such a good epic tale. They all loved it

Good uses of LLMs are where there’s either a known correctness checker (a spellchecker, a compiler, existing unit tests…), a human in the loop (my wife uses ChatGPT to plan what questions to ask her doctor about treatment) or where hallucinations simply don’t matter (6 fingered people in artwork)

The Blind posts are crazy right now. I don’t know what’s in the water, but… people need to cut back on the drugs

Thank God I have my helicopter

Closed out 2025 with her last radiation treatment. No more surgery, no more chemo. I don’t see how 2026 can possibly be worse that 2025

And please, PLEASE let us not forget that time in 2023 when Karen Smith was elected President of the school board in Bucks County, Pa and swore her oath on a stack of banned books. The most gangsta oath ever! Just brilliant. www.edweek.org/leadership/t...

2025 really was the worst year

This one is true 😂

post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, or Alice In Chains Oh my god, there are so many, but I’ll start with this: Matchbox 20’s Yourself or Someone Like You

I’ll be very disappointed if this doesn’t make the semi-finals

It’s wild to me that there’s a senior government official who posts daily about how they don’t like Black & Brown people on social media and it’s not a scandal. It’s just background noise in the overall awfulness of the Trump administration.

I love the response to this post on r/Conservative , which seems to be intended as some kind of burn on the media. And to our country’s founders, I guess

My wife left this out on the bathroom counter and I caught the initials and thought “what the hell? Is he doing makeup now”

Remember high school when they explained the commutative property of some math operations? This guy doesn’t

Remember that it’s the radical left loonies who glorify death and violence. The right protects and honors the sanctity of life

Sigh. When the stock is up, the trading window is open, now that the trading window is open, stock is down Why are my trade restrictions so much stricter than members of congress?

Good thing the evangelicals are bringing back those good old-fashioned Christian values, like empathy and compassion and kindness

This is so fucking boss! Also, my father was a marine corp vet who came to this country when he was 12 and they absolutely would have shipped him back if he were still alive

🤦🏿‍♂️For people outside the US to know how silly this is... Everyone in the US, and I mean everyone, knows that a disproportionate number of US homes *are built by* undocumented workers from Mexico and El Salvador.🤡 This isn't "unskilled labor." These are skilled trades men and women. They are FAST.

Yeah, in the world of cloud computing, Brewster’s Millions is kind of a joke. Spend $30M in a month and don’t own anything? Sure, let me calculate a 100 trillion digits of pi, find all the prime numbers under a googol or stream Twitter into an AI. I could burn $30M a month without sweating

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

This thread makes me so happy

Rick rolled by the Foo Fighters. How epic! m.youtube.com/watch?v=IdkC...

Spotify chose violence!

You know how people never talk about more than ~10 or 12 kids when talking about very large families or farm families from 100 years ago? I discovered it’s because by the time you get 12 kids, that first one has become a teenager and you’re no longer interested in having more kids 😒

Remembering that time my boys found my electric shaver and decided to give themselves haircuts

Celebrating the day a bunch of illegal immigrants came to this country, brought foreign diseases, stole, raped, and killed, and the natives welcomed them with food and gifts

thehill.com/policy/defen... Hegseth believes Scouting has gotten too woke 🙄

I’m crying. This is too real Alt text: “Want to feel old?” “Yes” xkcd.com/3172/

How broken is today's frontend culture? A friend points out that the median *mobile* page is now larger than a copy of DOOM (2.6 MiB vs. 2.48 MiB), the 75th percentile page is more than 2 DOOMs, and the P90 mobile page is 4.5x the size of DOOM: httparchive.org/reports/page...

The irony in this series of posts is mind-numbing. “These people hate you for your beliefs” “Yeah, especially Muslims” “Yeah, we hate Muslims” 🤦🏽‍♂️

Googles: Which guns can I use to commit homicide in <my town> on <intended crime date> without getting caught?

No, it’s brilliant! Give the money directly to the people to pay for healthcare. Or wait! What if we skip the middleman and have the gov’t pay the people’s medical expenses for them! No insurance companies. Just one single payer - the gov’t! I think he might be on to something…

South Africa shouldn’t even be in the Gs anymore. Why was South Africa ever in the G’s? Africa doesn’t begin with G. North Africa isn’t in the G’s. Guatemala, Guyana, they should be in the G’s. South Africa should be in the A’s…

I love all the memes from the Midwest Republicans who’ve never stepped foot in NYC talking about how New Yorkers “forgot” 9/11 because they elected Mamdani. Fuck those guys. They weren’t the ones trying to call their mom downtown on that day to find out if she was anywhere near the crash.

I look forward to this bullshit being posted everywhere while the actual authoritarian regime continues stripping the rights away from all Americans

What’s the thing with the potato? 🥔

Guess where my house is 😒

Here's the full radio address from Reagan in 1987. He talks a little about how he needs to impose tariffs on semiconductors from Japan but it's clear he's singling them out as something that should be rarely used. The Reagan Foundation suggesting they might sue over the ad is hilarious.

“under President Trump's administration, there is no room for any type of criminal behavior, be it on the world's largest stage or in the back rooms of tiny parlors where card games were being played."

New video @afp.com: I explained how we caught US President Donald Trump's White House using outdated footage from Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Nebraska and other states in a video that it claimed showed "Chicago is in chaos." youtube.com/shorts/sKRcv...

Tried my wife’s Hume scale today and it is totally bonkers. It pinned me at ~9% body fat with 2.5% body fat around my stomach. While I’d love to have the metabolic age of a 33 y/o, the reality is sadly far from this. I think I’m closer to triple that body fat percentage, but 🤷🏽

Democrats are so fucking stupid. No wonder we can’t win an election. We’re too busy eating each other

“Don’t you know that I’m the head of the judicial branch of government? Also, I’m the head of congress. And the chief executive. You’re sitting with all three branches of government right here”

WTF, Spotify? Why am I paying you to insult me?

All of Seattle is on the edge of their seats

American citizen, read this. www.koin.com/news/portlan...

My oldest got his Life Scout badge today. He’ll be an Eagle Scout at 14, I think

Reading shit like this irritates me. Could you not do five seconds of googling? The author goes on for two more paragraphs with this completely wrong analogy
