At this point the most outrageous thing Marjorie Taylor Greene can do for attention is act normal.

I typed "Demonstration video:" into vscode and it autocompleted with a youtube URL. Out of curiosity I clicked it.. .... "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up"... yes, I just got rick rolled by AI.

It’s a must watch, his agenda will be hard to pull off, and I’m concerned about the impact of the Jewish community, but excited to have a new compelling communicator on the field.

Wound up chatting tonight with an DC based EPA lawyer visiting for the weekend, lived through Trump 1.0, said administration switches used to be interesting/fun at the EPA and the DOJ since you could understand where the politics ended, but now there was just destruction.

Convinced my 11 year old to read (slog) the Lord of the Rings, woke up to “the Council of Elrond lasts forever. There is endless talking”

Anyone else using Unreal on Linux? editor takes 3 minutes to boot up when it doesn’t crash with a caching issue.

Are we sure this isn’t a rendering test? A tasty rendering test at that..

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

Despite whatever the new Trump-friendly leadership at CBS News is doing, 60 Minutes had a chilling, revelatory story on a top Dept. of Justice lawyer who says he was fired for refusing to support DOJ attorneys lying to judges in deportation cases. WATCH: https://loom.ly/VjKaJPk

Give me the thin blue line flag but make it extra racist.

i desperately want everyone involved in the destruction of USAID to have to, st the very least, answer to the american people for the suffering and misery they have caused apnews.com/article/myan...

Trump bringing peace to the Middle East and war to Chicago, Portland, LA and the Caribbean is going to play poorly with the Nobel committee

The White House is offering “concierge, white glove service” to oil, coal & other fossil fuel companies that are seeking to gain fast approval for their projects, according to an energy official, while simultaneously slowing down or blocking solar and wind. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi... 🔌💡

Sure vibe coding can make you super productive… but I just spent multiple hours porting my current project to windows so I could use the visual studio debugger. VSC on unbuntu’s C++ debugger is out classed by visual studio 6.0 (which shipped in 1998) it’s really a travesty how bad Linux gdb is.

Effectively the government is seeking to use red state national guards to attack blue states. This is some fucked up civil war shit.

I don’t think people are registering that every general just got a front row hour long demonstration of how mentally ill the commander in chief is, unedited, unfiltered.. No Fox News cleanup, just staring right into the gaping maw of raw unfiltered crazy.

I so missed the president telling us to put bleach in your body!

Funny story, my kid hates that my answer to some of his homework problems is just use algebra… so today (6th grade) he says hey there’s something wierd about this problem (not realizing 11y is 11*y) 1/2

Let’s be honest all computer graphics is the same thing with yet just another math library

Imagine the entire history of humanity and language has lead up to this beautiful moment, this beautiful run on sentence of lunacy and insanity, that now perfectly encapsulates our time…

We can now consider this speech Emmy-winning. And the message about the loss of an objective reality hits even harder in the current moment.

Remember that the Koreans are helping build the robotic future that the US will desperately need without an immigrant labor force, also that labor force is actually years away. The level of footgunning is incredible

Hundreds of not yet ripe Empires, just waiting for Brother Darkness to show up. #foundation

Detecting no lies in this description of the treatment of my coworkers. Wish the media here was as honest.

If I were to ask you if your life has been touched by cancer the answer would have undoubtedly be yes. The US is walking away from saving you and your loved one’s lives.

Nvidia’s omniverse tool chain has a lot of power, but also seems to always on the verge of completely imploding and its complexity just sends me crawling back to blender all the time.

Media Matters for America has faced legal and financial pressure from allies of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, including an FTC probe and politically motivated retaliation for its work. This and Musk's legal attacks, contributed to Media Matters' budgetary issues, leading to employee layoffs

Caught the 2nd half of “A Face in the Crowd” last night, the 1957 classic tale of a drifter (Andy Griffith) that turns into a political force via the power of media and his folksy wisdom. At the end he’s exposed and his world comes crashing down. 1/2

I miss being able to write code instead of fighting with docker scripts to set up environments to run code which I haven’t written because I’m fighting with docker.

The average person at this point just thinks of AI as a way of stealing people’s art and cheat at essays. It really represents the whole class of training systems that let us do things that we couldn’t before. Those techniques can even make a robot do back flips… youtu.be/LMPxtcEgtds?si

The GOP still believes in free markets just don’t you dare change your logo font

Federal crimes in the DC area are going to get harder to charge since the DOJ is being stripped of their competent people and grand juries from a 90% blue area are going to assume that it’s a Trumped up bogus charge.

At this point the economy has run off a cliff and is waiting for wile e to notice gravity, as has the question are we living in under an autocratic regime? Yes we can stop asking we’re just waiting for gravity to kick in.

Doing knowingly illegal things when working for the government should face the same penalties as stealing a bag of chips from a bodega.

You can make this shit up… the level of cartoonish villainy and stupidity all at once.

This is the best AI prompt I’ve ever seen. Meta’s suggested prompt response to @alexwinter.com’s brilliant post about Waiting for Godot is “Who is playing Godot?”

USAID funded roughly half the world’s supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food. The dismantling of the agency has disrupted the global supply chain that provides the packets, leaving thousands of malnourished children at risk of dying.

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

Saw “Sally” tonight at the Central Park national geograph film festival, executive produced by her long time partner Tam, it spends a good chunk of its running time on her closeted life. Was striking to see pres Obama posthumously giving a medal to Ride via Tam.

The fairness doctrine is too hard to implement and regulate but a minder out of the North Korea or the KGB playbook is just fine in the US now.

"WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 1, 2025) – The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced today that it will begin an orderly wind-down of its operations" cpb.org/pressroom/Co...

A concerning precedent: a bipartisan spending bill can pass (60 votes), president can request recession of elements he doesn’t like, & partisan majority (50+1 votes) can eliminate those elements. Why should a minority party negotiate for bill passage? They could get what they win stripped later!

Trump’s Uncle worked on particle accelerators, not allowing for the possibility that he could see into parallel worlds where the Unabomber went to MIT seems very narrow minded of Mr The Onion.

I was reading an LLM prompt that was being embedded in a tool I use, and wow did I feel like I was reading the modern version of Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.

Sure just Balls and strikes… but the strike zone is a completely different size depending on who’s playing.

Do we even need to ask?

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Truly staggering numbers, per www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Today it’s really hard to focus on building robots that will become sentient and destroy the world when the GOP is busy destroying the world first.

This is true, but Americans don’t seem to care about far away lands, seems like the Dems are trying to raise alarms about millions of folks losing their healthcare, and barely focus on the ICE funding that will turn the US into a police state. The onslaught just doesn’t stop.
