I like progressive taxation, universal basic income, smashing the patriarchy, and eating the rich. I dislike the military industrial complex and war criminals.

[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Sarah Hurwitz and liberal Zionism’s hail mary Sarah Hurwitz’s now-viral appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly has exposed the crisis of Zionism in the U.S. and Jewish leaders’ desperation to confront it.

READ: Obama's speechwriter to a room full of Zionists: "Young Jews see powerful Israelis hurting weak Palestinians and think the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel"

Yes! They learned correctly! That IS the lesson!

HISTORIC: Legislation in the US, sponsored by 22 members of Congress, calls for sanctions on Israel. Now is the time to escalate BDS pressure.

Legislation in the US, sponsored by 22 members of Congress, calls for sanctions on Israel. This marks the first time that a resolution in Congress has explicitly called for sanctions on Israel.

The S in BDS is no longer a taboo in the US. Escalate BDS pressure now.
