That’s what I was responding to, yes.

That’s fair.

I think I use the labeler as informational, but I know many do not.

(Some labels I just label, some I mute, but blocking is rare. For labelers and block lists, I mean; I have an itchy blocking finger.)

There’s a delightful labeler with all the Harper’s Letter signatories. I hope someone comes out with one for this.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

I do not aspire to this, no.

I can make legal numbering work. Iä iä Cthulhu ftagn!

Well now that it’s been pointed out I do.

I honestly missed it. I don’t think I miss much.

Eek!

This thread is completely true. I am not dunking.

But if you learned the Old Ways, BFR (Before Fucking Ribbon), the secrets that were embedded like splinters in your black and withered soul mostly keep Word manageable, while other tools recoil from you in horror.

And by “you” I mean “me.”

It’s not just AWS. A lot of companies and government functions are in Azure.

Triple-tap strikes on schools.

Anyway I’ve been a risk or compliance analyst at a few companies that might qualify as targets, and many more that shared infra, and never actually thought about it.

Well mostly because the rules-based order was supposed to rule it out. I admit I didn’t suspect the US would start lethalitymaxxing.

I’m srs. AWS has been trying to segregate regions and maybe now they’ve succeeded, but for a long time if US-EAST-1 went down, a lot of unrelated regions had issues.

And even if AWS were not directly working with the military, MANY of their customers are hosting things for the military on AWS.

This is neat, for horrible values of neat.

And what I mean by “neat”
is that I’m now trying to work out what it means that the US keeps saying we are not bound by those pesky humanitarian rules.

Also is US-EAST-1 now a legitimate target in every war? 🫠

this leads to the obvious question, “do LLMs have a ballmer peak”

Yeah. And let me also be clear. I’ve never trusted Trump on this, or on the economy, or on keeping us safe in general. You are trusting him on this, though, right? No. You aren’t? I’m trusting the military and our generals. I’m trusting what I understand to be the operation and the people leading it—that is, the generals and our military and our allies. You’re trusting the people leading the operation who don’t include the President? Well, I don’t trust that guy. Yeah. He’s the Commander-in-Chief, right? Sure. Yeah. But I can’t [trust him]. And he’s proven that over the past couple of days, being all over the place, unlike everybody else involved in this.

Lol

I would like to know if it had anything to do with the strike on the school.

The most joyous time of year for those with scheduled breakfasts!

Just saw someone seriously arguing that most business don’t have contracts with their customers and I cannot.

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

Basically instead of transit commuting to Everett 2x/week, I’ll be taking transit to Seattle 2x/month. And paying less rent.

Sooooo much less rent.

I’m moving to Everett in two months. (Though technically I guess I won’t help, since I don’t drive.)

I really appreciate the “hide this post” function because the video of that senator breaking the marine veteran’s arm or hand is a public service, not a block, but I don’t want to accidentally play it.

And if you haven’t, turn off autoplay. It’s bad for anyone to see that kind of thing by surprise!

Hard same, I know it's a marketing gimmick (I hope like most marketing gimmicks all this booktok shit evaporates in the cleansing light of day) but the "tropes checklist" is one of the worst things to happen to the public's relationship to books, every time I see it I feel the call of violence

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

I feel lucky in that some of my nature pieces do get some independent shares -- people often want to know about cool critters -- but this is a genuinely wearing part of the job these days

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty
