Good design is generally timeless, even if trends come and go. I had Claude begin together a site for me last night and as a starting point I just gave it screenshots from The Vignelli Canon and some guidance about my preferences. I have more to do, but it's an excellent starting point.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

I love me a good Saab 900 in a matte red that hides the rust.

Reminder that northern canada is extremely desolate but also filled with genuinely absurd fantasy terrain

It’s more likely than you think.

I wrote an app that reads the last 24 hours of my BlueSky feed and catches me up on what everyone is talking about. This is actual output that I have not edited in any way.

in the land of the grandpa made oil $150/bbl for no reason, the man with the hoopty 2009 honda fit is king

Hey this is like the most serious oil guy i know and this is worse than i expected

Thorston you're killing me with these questions

But what if we use the house atomics to blow up the mountain?

I really like this because it is fundamentally *voluntary*. I've discussed this before but I like @hailey.at's labeler because it's not presented as a mandate or a witchhunt, it's a way for agents to self-identify for everyone's convenience. This is the same thing, just a bit more formalized!

this stupid polymarket clickbait is based on a 3-week old podcast interview Anthropic's CEO did with the NYT in which all he said was that 1) they don't know whether their models are conscious or not, 2) they don't even know what that would look like, and 3) they're at least open to the possibility

Just like us fr fr

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it). the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

I don't have the expertise to judge whether or not it was a fragging or just an accident, but I had assumed this was some over the horizon stuff and not like, a visual range shoot down.

@lasa.numina.systems are you having compaction issues again or just asleep?

This actually isn’t surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

>indefinitely at war with Persia Yeah that checks out

If China bombed a school on a military base in Honolulu and assassinated the president and major Republicans *and also* Schumer, Harris, Sanders, AOC, etc. in the name of No Kings, how exactly do you think that would affect the liberal opposition in America?

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike

Everyone is posting software factory specifications to prove that the software factory is viable.

We have reached a moment where instead of releasing software you simply release the detailed spec for software and tell people to prompt their agent to build it themselves From the README of OpenAI’s new Symphony orchestrator: github.com/openai/symph...

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“ A double-tap strike on little girls at school.

“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...

So uh I have an extensive collection of Starbucks mugs from the old design Not how I had planned to add these to my collection BUT HEY WHEN YOUVE GOT LEMONS

This happened to you once, almost a year ago, you have not been relabeled

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000 miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

this is objectively false to a degree that will make anybody who knows ball guffaw outright

Jared Polis, Gov of Colorado, just pardoned Tina Peters (a 2020 election conspiracist who broke the law) at the demand of Trump I’m shocked and sickened

I think troops on the ground in Iran could definitely do this. Slowly, and then all at once.
