There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

Absolutely unsurprising that their autism recommendation [sic] is that women need to suffer more

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

man, those old-school programmers...

I think the developers of Hollow Knight and Silksong figured out that the best part of Zelda 2 is the downward sword stab and decided to make whole games around movements and combat moves that feel that good.

when I was a teen, I thought “aggravated” assault meant that the person was egged on or taunted into a fight

I got a 20 year old c++ visual studio program to compile thanks to help from AI tools. but omg visual studio is terrible and impossible but its debugger is pretty cool

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Not loving these MMRV headlines, they feel misleading! The vast majority of kids under 4 in this country get MMR and V separately when they’re ~1 and this is what will still happen. The combined MMRV is what is changing, but that was not commonly given to young children already

Costco has toy warehouses for cats

this grapheme-to-phoneme program we have ignores apostrophes except for "'ll" and then lets the usual grapheme-to-phoneme rules take over. i guess it works when you have dictionary entries for "isn't" and "don't" etc and then "'s" is like pluralizing so that's good. but it treats "she'd" as "shed"

here’s my YouTube history from a couple days ago lol

wow they are such insecure babies

we cancelled disney+

Pertient repost. Might've been from you.

i have a makefile that runs r code which basically reduces to cli::cli_alert_warning("check these files") print(bad_files_tibble) cli::cli_alert_warning("check these files too") print(more_bad_files_tibble) And the second warning prints while the first tibble is still printing its rows

i haven't been able to get WSL to work on two machines bc microsoft sucks / the microsoft store sucks so it's not a reliable option on windows

Shannon's slides are always so unbelievably clear and helpful!!! github.com/shannonpileg... I'm having "Ohhhhh that's what that means" moments every 10 seconds here. #positconf2025

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

overwrite duckdb's show() method when it's loaded

the way that namespaced functions get automatically translated to SQL if the package author's support that function translation... is weird magic con <- DBI::dbConnect(duckdb::duckdb()) dbplyr::translate_sql(stringr::str_trim(x), con = con) #> <SQL> LTRIM(RTRIM(x))

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

"...every ounce of my energy has been devoted to an active opposition to cruel bigotry, convulsive violence, and the sadistic persecution which has characterised the philosophy and practice of fascism...nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us."

The complaint “is the third high-profile case in the past year brought by a U.S. family alleging that an AI chatbot contributed to a teen’s death by suicide.”

I don’t subscribe to nominative determinism but it is kinda spooky that that Apgar score was discovered by Virginia Apgar

more like liquid ass

Kids took passport pics at the post office a while back and the guy gave them extra copies, and due to trying very hard to not smile, as directed, they both look like hardened criminals. One of them put theirs up on the whiteboard and my husband wrote "do not accept checks from this man" next to it

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.

weirdest lil guy in Silksong so far

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

What I like about this performance, a little faster and a little louder bass, is how the verses sound like the Pixies
