Seriously, get off of X. Don't post there and don't spend time there. You will get exposed to propaganda and bullshit that will nestle into the corners of your brain EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT'S BULLSHIT. Stay away.

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

Everyone skips past the 02 financial crisis because 09 was so bad.

But depending on how you parse millenial...it's been bad for awhile but also the worst bit is they grew up during a period where things were getting better and then got the rug pulled out from under them.

It feels noteworthy that even one of the most bombastic companies in one of the most smoke-and-mirror-filled industries was still like β€˜Whoa, it’s not ready for THAT’.

You need to be a citizen to vote.

You do not need to β€œlove your country”.

That isn’t a pre-requisite under democracy.

Americans should be deeply ashamed of what their country has become, and they should vote for change at the polls.

Anything else is dictatorship.

Later in the same post, Hegseth stated: " I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic."

He didn't just order the cutting of ties between the Dept of Defense and Anthropic. He designated them a national security risk for refusing to submit to Hegseth's absolute authority and barred any other contracter from doing business with the company. This is fascism!

It also means someone you can bitch to (offline of course, because there's no privacy on the company Slack) when things are going awry either with your particular work tasks, or leadership is acting funny. And that's a nice perk to have.

...at least take a look at it and give me feedback or an approval if it's all in shape. And I try to do the same for them, because if you want a village you gotta be a villager. Trust is a gift, and you can often receive it as you give it.

There's definitely something to be said for having like 2 or 3 people at work that you can fully rely on. For my team, code reviews tend to be bottlenecks; it is what it is. I know that if my code changes are taking a while to get reviewed, I can hit up 2 or 3 different people directly to...

Mass horror at the killings of Renee Good & Alex Pretti has DHS’s budget at stake.

And yet in the past week, agents left a blind refugee to die alone.
And lied about it.

They pretended to be police looking for a missing child, to detain a college kid.
And lied about it.

What does this tell you?

To yes-and this: politicians KNOW this. Ruby Bridges is younger than Pierce Brosnan; we're like three James Bonds away from de jure segregation and Jim Crow. I'm the first in my family to never set foot in a segregated school, ever.

I'm 31.

Point being, these old bastards MISS it. They loved it.

6:30 a.m., federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered a Columbia Residential building and detained a student.
