I might use it as a club and then eat it after darth.

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.Β

Pete Hegseth amplifies pastors with a message: Women shouldn’t be allowed to vote The Pentagon chief already had a reputation as a far-right culture warrior. Then he promoted a video featuring pastors opposed to women voting.

Among the problems with Hegseth amplifying a video featuring Christian nationalists saying women shouldn't be allowed to vote:

The Pentagon made no real effort to distance Hegseth from the ridiculous content. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

When we lobbied for IDEA we missed how funding would make IEP meetings adversarial instead of cooperative.

I hated it as a parent, knowing our son getting what we wanted meant some other family would get screwed. And it sucks for SPED teachers, who are already overworked and underpaid.

Yes, slashing individual and corporate rates for 50 years has really worked wonders for society’s problems…

Is there any truth to the many sex crimes accusations against Donald Trump? We asked a 56 year-old man standing in the girls' changing room at a teenage beauty pageant.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

At least 10 pardoned insurrectionists face other criminal charges - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington At least 10 January 6th insurrectionists pardoned by President Trump have already been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes.

Reminder that 10+ Jan 6th insurrectionists pardoned by President Trump have already been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes.

The crimes include plotting murder of FBI agents, child sexual assault and reckless homicide while driving drunk.

Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States.

D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.

I think it is especially challenging for hard science fiction to age well. In fantasy, historical drama, etc. the reader knows they are entering a different world and culture.

My niece’s early teen daughter just sent me Becky Chambers Psalm for the Wild-Built and I enjoyed it immensely. I guess that would technically be Solarpunk, but it was nice to read something that wasn’t a dystopian future.

My daughters were voracious readers and helped themselves to the mountains of paperbacks I had accumulated. But even 25 years ago Heinlein didn’t hold up well for them.

They did like Clarke’s Rendezvous with Rama, and Hogan’s Code of the Lifemaker, but most pre-1990 SciFy fell flat.

I’m an old man who has done countless breathtakingly stupid things in my life. But if I could warn my younger self about just one of them it would be β€œuse sun screen dumbass”.

So… Trump screwed up the census and hurt the GOP?

That seems, doubtful.

β€œthere are a dozen or so trans kids playing high school sports, this is not an issue that affects you and its time we start asking why the guy who has repeatedly bragged about being sexually attracted to children wants to look at your kids genitals” is an entirely true thing you can say!

I love that Prizker often punches at just the right level. It’s clear, true, and hits soft spots that MAGA world are deeply insecure about.

Every VC type I know was (and many still are) convinced of Elon Musk’s genius. But it took just a couple minutes of him talking about software in an interview for me to know he is a PT Barnum spewing pure BS.

Maybe it is the nature of our work, but we probably have more math and history degree holders than CS degrees on staff at any given time./end

I don’t even want to see resumes until late in the hiring process. We first screen with several rounds of practical tests, and those results come to the team in anonymous form for evaluation.

I mostly just use the resume in person so I can let the candidate elaborate on work they are proud of./2

Speaking as someone who has been hiring software developers since the 1980s, the value of a computer science degree has long been a question mark for me.

What I need are candidates with good critical thinking and problem solving skills who are good at learning new things./1

I have zero doubt that Microsoft knew it was peddling pure BS when it used the dream of replacing six figure employees with AI to pump up its valuation.

Funny to me that β€œtell investors what they want to hear, regardless of the truth” seems to be the only job LLM AI is suited for.

Indeed. If they weren’t hurting so many innocent people I’d feel sorry for them.

I actually take some solace that utter shitbags like Vance, with no moral compass at all - who jumped on the Trump train because they saw it as a path to personal power, now spend every day licking orange goo out of the ass crack of a man they, themselves despise.
