"Once the Torment Nexus gets deployed, society booms and crime plummets, plus we save a lot of money on the arts"

When the word went out to all the JOs, "look, your social life's your own, but don't hang out with single majors", these are the guys they were talking about.

I don't even care if they're married; these are still Those Guys.

Screenshot of what's apparently supposed to be a "git flow" chart from Microsoft learning materials. It's full of bizarre spelling errors and fucked up diagram elements that make it pretty clear the thing was AI generated.

oh.... my god??

actual chart from learn.microsoft.com/en-us/traini... btw

Well, as down as you are on LLMs, the Claude family (4.5 and newer) are the only ones that can produce anything approximating good software. ChatGPT gets ahead of itself, changes the mission so it can claim success, and talks itself in and out of plans. Grok is absolute garbage at anything complex.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

Fuck those people. They shouted me down when I said he was uniquely dangerous to the Republic. They can line up and get their engraved apologies stamped at the front desk to receive one (1) coupon good for telling me to moderate my tone (valid for any one day, starting next week).

I need to watch it again just so I can experience all the setup for, and excruciating tension of, that INSANE tracking shot in episode... 4?

Elon's father is, as I'm sure you know, an extremely wealthy white South Afrikaner. We don't owe the Musk family any presumption of good faith when we ask "what did Musk learn about history and from whom".

Every technology adoption has been a sigmoid curve; every sigmoid curve looks exponential for the first half; and everyone gets rich convincing other people that *this* time it's going to stay exponential.

When the growth starts to slow a LOT of people are going to take a bath on these valuations.

Passive voice "believed to" carrying that sentence to places sentences have never been ... even the cop who wrote that down in the report didn't believe it.

Everyday life is explaining PPBE and POM cycles to people who think because Senior Leader [x] said something money is just going to start raining from the sky time now.

Thank god it's whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil (TGIWFWTD)

Only the government should be naming storms. “Uri” is SEO nonsense invented by the weather channel to boost clicks and views. It undercuts public safety messaging. (North Dakota gets more storms and worse ones: but TWC doesn’t name them because both people in North Dakota own shovels.)

Perhaps CANADA geese lack conviction! Nothing seems more likely.

Perhaps geese lack conviction.

None of the geese in Maryland seem to react in any way to our objectively amazing state flag. If geese had a strongly grounded model of vexillology, Marylanders would observe a difference in goose behavior. I guess it’s possible they have strong opinions that don’t alter their behavior.

Geese probably do not have strong feelings about vexillology, or if they do, those strong feelings likely have no grounding in any formal system.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

Yeah it turns out the suspension for "fighting" is the same number of days no matter the number or intensity of kicks, punches, or suplexes. Up until you put the other kid in the hospital, the ticket for the ride costs the same fee so you might as well take the WHOLE ASS ride.

It's not goddamn Gavin Newsome, I can tell you that.

“THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT ENTITLED TO THE PRESUMPTION OF REGULARITY” should be in every filing moving forward. How sad for us all.

It's just like the oak tree thing.

The best time to oppose jack-booted thugs lawlessly kidnapping Americans in broad daylight is the very first time it happens; but the second best time is today.

I always did think that the Standard Missile 3, the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile, and the Trident nuclear-tipped ballistic missile were a little ...

<glances around cautiously>

...woke.

Shepherds pie, if that counts?

Poutine obviously.

I like pouring chunky soup over tater tots too.
