We look at the modern Republican party, and it's (at least superficially) a cultural monolith. It feels people commonly believe the same of the Democratic party.

Democrats can't ignore problematic leaders & policies because there are people ("but we have the squad! we can't be bad") on the fringe.

I've been wanting to try Kamal for a similar set up, keep posting on what you decide!

Please support my ride I’m taking on the Brisbane to Gold Coast Cycle for Cancer to raise money for cancer research at Mater. Please support my ride by making a donation today. Thank you.

Tomorrow morning I am cycling 100km from Brisbane to the Gold Coast for cancer research 🚴‍♀️❤️

170,000 paid subscribers and 1.5m readers is substantially fewer than I thought.

~$882 per paid subscriber.

My wife and I were flying home recently, very clearly together in line. Guy cuts in between us, shoves his boarding pass at the agent, gets the angry buzz of shame and it has no effect on him. The agent said it wasn’t his group, also no effect. Was so absurd it was funny.

With all available information, they wouldn’t be the best and brightest if this was their choice 🫠

札幌市！初めてに行くのは6月でした。北海道は素晴らしい。
札幌駅は歩いて3分です、めっちゃ便利！

日本にマンションを買いました。二月ぐらい日本語を勉強してでもまだ下手です。毎日ここに書いたら役に立つかもしれない。

We recently got the Samsung 4 door flex and really like it. Not sure about quality since we only got it a year ago but it’s very useful!

You have an excellent username, too.

Observationally, just feels like white people being slightly less open about being racist.

Back to testing the waters with me instead of assuming I also hate brown people 🙃

Japan housing is fundamentally different. In many (most?) locations the house is a depreciating asset and only the land holds value.

Also, with a declining population they don’t have the same housing supply constraints —urban areas being invested in appreciate, where even 20-30 minutes away fall.

🤯!

First flight after my son got his PPL, great way to spend Sunday morning.

@chriswarcraft.bsky.social this video seems like something you’d appreciate!

Anything I add here may ruin the experience of watching, but go watch it.

I love time zones because I’m flying away at 4:20pm and arriving at 4:20pm on the same day.

It’s neat that humans tackled time zones and agreed on a line to reset it all.

I’ve heard the same phrasing of outsourcing when talking about btrees in various libs, though.

Complex software rarely is true. It is, as you say, about looking true. How can we make it easier to understand and poke at the truthiness?

This has been a consistent (and valid) argument about abstractions in software engineering. In college (mid 90s) we had to learn hardware because otherwise we’d write terrible software! It wasn’t true, because Java/C++(STL) changed the game. Some things we need to know, it changes generationally.

The best part about Imola is when Max tries to push someone off the track, they're more inclined to fight back since it's gravel and big curbs.

I was at a May Day rally yesterday, a guy came up and was trying to agitate -- he told me that Trump was keeping his daughters safe by "keeping illegals away from them".

Nothing will ever convince me these people don't know they're fascists -- they're just sealioning fascists.

This guy's a hero. Good shit, Senator.

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one.

No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

Ok, fine. Just take some of my money instead.

I hope so! The mid-terms are a long way away, and if the market doesn't stay in bearish territory/recession, I worry voters have short attention spans.

I am trying to immediately incentivize strong, assertive behavior by making timely donations when things happen.

I'm still pretty convinced that unless the market tanks, there won't be any substantial shift in the power dynamics because Democrats seem evenly split on "maybe Liz Cheney is the future of the party" type questions. What do you think?

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.
