If you're a business whose competitors are stuffing their software to the brim with AI, you could absolutely make a killing with being transparent about not having AI or being built with AI.

I'm so FUCKING tired of it in EVERYTHING. Still looking for a Quickbooks alternative.

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE:

-the KIDS Act
-KOSA
-the Screen Act
-Sammy's Law
-the App Store Accountability Act

And additionally, oppose:

-reforming/sunsetting Section 230
-online age verification/ID laws

Hey, so you're using Claude to automate your work? You killing kids in other countries too?

If you use AI, chatgpt or Claude or otherwise, I hope you take your whole head and shove it up your butt. I hope you awake screaming in the middle of the night being haunted by ghosts.

do you ever think how wild it is that we get daytime from a star which is something we typically associate with nighttime? is day just brighter night?
night with the exposure turned up?

anyway, makes me feel better about sleeping in.

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Quickbooks for freelance/self employed folks?? Just saw this new ai bs they’re rolling out and it seems opt in but I simply don’t trust businesses at this point.

Please help!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

watched The Naked Gun (2025) and altogether thought it was quite enjoyable! it’s nice that it felt like a descendant of the originals rather than an exact remake. Feels updated but also energetically stays true to Naked Gun (1 and 2, but not 3 which was shit)

I’m the CEO of Colocation Corporation (CoCorp), and we’re building a 118MW data center. For the sake of this example (and simplicity), it costs around $1.4 billion to do so, of which I’ve financed $840 million at an interest rate of 6%, with a term of 6 years. Construction takes a year, which means that I’ve been paying $4.2 million a month - or $50.4 million a year - of interest payments to stop the loan from ballooning. Once payments start again - a year later - I’m suddenly paying $16.239 million a month in interest and principal payments (or $194.87 million annually), with principal payments ballooning thanks to the loan now having an effective 5 year term.

I’m about to find out exactly how rickety the world of data center leasing really is.

Finally, my big, beautiful data center - which features 100MW of critical IT load on a 118MW building - is finally ready, and my new client, GPUCorp, moves into the building and starts paying a colocation fee of $130 per kilowatt a month, or $156 million a year. Pretty good, right? Using a simplified version of depreciation - where we depreciate over 15 years - CoCorp would have about $93 million a year in depreciation costs, which leaves us with big, sexy, honking profits of $63 million a year. That’s 59.6% gross margins! We’re printing money! I’m going to be rich!

Wait, fuck! Shit! Ass! I just did the minus of $156 million and $194.87 million! That’s…that’s $38.87 million a year! And that’s when I’m getting paid! I have negative 24.9% operating margins! This sucks ass! Though everybody I know says my gross margins ROCK, gross margins are only on paper! Reality sucks! What am I going to do?

As I pace around my office with my hands in my pockets, I get an email from the CEO of GPUCorp (His name is “Glent Fudge”) with a subject heading that says “uh oh.” Turns out that GPUCorp can’t afford to pay its own loans, which means it can’t afford to pay me for my big, beautiful data center. I email back a simple request: “PAY ME … I go to Guns Dot Com and I purchase a rifle. It’s time to kill Glent Fudge.

I get a phone call. It’s the bank. “Hey Ed, how are you?” my banker (Shelton Crelton) says. “I just read on CNBC that Glent Fudge ran out of money, and your contract explicitly states that we loaned you this money based on you having a tenant for that 118MW data center.” I begin to sweat. “Do you have another to replace them? If not, you’re in default of your loans.”

I do not have another tenant. I try to buy another gun, but guns dot com declines my credit card. I am in default on my loans to the bank, and Shelton Crelton can seize my data center.

Found a nuanced way to explain the rickety finances of data center development

Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.

one of my favorite games to play is “Lecoq or Gaulier?” when I see someone who is clearly clown trained and you can tell a Gaulier clown from the fear in their eyes before they do the most wild shit. I can’t describe it.

RIP Gaulier, thanks for training some of the best clowns i’ve seen

man, so many incredible clowns trained with Gaulier and I’m so thankful that they went there and not me (would not have gotten out of there alive). Clown is a tradition where your work is so informed by those who guide you through it and damn if Gaulier clowns don’t have a special brand of humility

This is scary because these are instances of attempting to rewrite history. This is the fact of the matter: people are tired of old white men who wield power over others. Show it, cowards.

I think it’s just important to point out that this has happened in another context. When the to-be “k ing” visited Cardiff, we accidentally stumbled upon the people waiting to see him drive to the castle. When his car pulled up, people booed (rightfully so imo) and bbc’s reporting changed it.
