Totally! Remember how inconceivable that was when we were kids? Then suddenly, smoking was "loser shit" and one did it anymore. Now I see it everywhere again. It sucks.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

Arguably vape companies bear the responsibility, but overall I agree

South Africa was stolen from the indigenous Africans who lived there. But they still live there.

Israel forcibly deported indigenous Palestinians. Israel should not exist the land should be returned to Palestine, who can allow Israelis to remain there at their discretio.

Boeing is the perfect way to describe it!

As an aside: I am really enjoying this little project. Someone’s music taste overtime or such a fun looking into who they are as a person.

Israel should not exist. Illegal colonizer/genocider state that consistently mass murders Muslim children.

Even if LLMs could do what’s claimed, end of the day, the people building β€œAI” are the same dudes that turned every app into rent, and put facial recognition in your doorbell.

what party did he run for President as again?

I know he’s independent, but it’s mostly semantics.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

Stop complying A few days ago, I watched this awesome video from things your mom should have told you about resisting fascism regimes. The main thesis is that under capitalism, where work is required to eat, have a home, have healthcare, and other essentials, participating in strikes and walkouts isn’t really an option for a lot of folks. Keena shares some great, actions things you can do despite that. The tl;dr version:

DUDE! The Timex is gorgeous, cheap, and an absolute tank.

They were originally created for the military during World War 1. For $30, you get a stunning water resistant watch that will run for like seven years on a single battery and holds time very accurately.

Training your replacement If you were working a corporate job in the mid-to-late-2000’s, you’ve probably experienced β€œoffshoring.” The leadership team brings in a bunch of new remote employees in a country with much cheaper labor costs and less stringent labor laws that yours. They ask you to help train them and teach them everything you know so they can β€œget up to speed quickly.” And then six months later, they lay off your whole team and keep the offshore workers.

Abolish prisons, but I want every single miserable fuck involved in this shit from the very top to the most lowly of admins to spend the rest of their lives rotting behind bars.

If the feckless Democrats refuse to take action when this is all over, the party needs to be dismantled.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan NicolΓ‘s was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability β€” not a blank check for more cruelty.

Sorry, that's partially rhetorical.

I had a coworker tell me the other day that they believe "almost no one will be writing code by hand by the end of the year" and that made me so incredibly sad for the future of our profession.

People need people A few weeks ago, I was on a trip in my camper and had stopped at a gas station in Georgia to refuel. I saw someone sitting on the curb making a sign asking for money, so I walked over and gave him $40, figuring I would be gone by the time he was finished with his sign. He looked me in the eyes and started sobbing. I don’t know if I’ll ever forget that mixture of pain and relief on his face.

What happens when it’s your own coworkers pushing the AI agenda?

If the AI feature people are promising, one where developers don’t write code anymore, comes true, I’ll have to find a new profession.

Cutting the Discord Last week, Discord announced they were going to be shifting to an invasive age-verification system for all users. You either submit to a facial scan to verify you age, or get defaulted to a teen-user experience unless their AI infers that you must be an adult based on other unspecified data. It’s creepy and invasive. Let’s talk about why it’s problem, alternatives to Discord, and what this means for my own community.

The strangest thing to me is that there are people who still think Brianna Wu is a worth listening to.

I’ve always found her fascist, but she’s been even more overt about it for the last couple of years than she was a decade ago.

In an effort to preserve and prioritize my attention I virtually always block people who are rude to me but I also sometimes block people who are perfectly polite and could very well be lovely individuals because I absolutely cannot be trusted not to waste precious hours of my life debating them 🫠
