Yosemite Sam and Bugs Bunny on TV

TCM is showing Looney Tunes cartoons and I am so here for it

I’m definitely not reposting this just because my episode (which you should listen to) is still at the top of the list if that’s what you’re thinking

Here's how Epstein broke the internet His meeting with the founder of 4chan and his quest to profit off the end of democracy

This is very, very good.

I’m working on an idea I’m calling “AI Psychosis by Proxy” whereby the more you read about how people are talking about their AI “agents” the more you feel like you’re the one going insane.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

Goddamn this gets me every time

God this is good. My kingdom for a Canadian politician who’s this cool

Lawyer here. There’s a lot of misinformation about what this means. It means he’s innocent even though he did it and the judge said that it’s good what he did

Goose Suddenly Realizes It Doesn’t Have To Honk Like An Idiot Entire Time It’s Flapping Wings - The Onion ELK RAPIDS, MI—The insight abruptly springing to mind as the bird took flight, a local goose suddenly realized Wednesday that it doesn’t have to honk like an idiot the entire time it’s flapping its wings. “Wow, I guess I don’t need to squawk like a goddamn moron during every single takeoff and landing,” said the Canadian goose, all at once aware that it truly had no reason for screeching like a jackass every time it used its wings in the slightest, let alone merely waddled around on some grass. “I feel pretty stupid for all the years I’ve spent bellowing my lungs out like a real grade-A dope. I saw a duck glide quietly onto a pond the other day, and it made me realize what a fucking racket I must have been making all this time.” At press time, the goose was startled by the realization that it didn’t have to veer dangerously close to an oncoming jet engine every single time it took to the sky.

I want to get the word out not just because @grodowski.bsky.social is a friend and former colleague but because I think it's a tool a lot of Ruby devs would really benefit from but won't get talked about because it's not "glamorous". It does one thing incredibly well and we need more tools like it.

Big shout out to undercover-ci.com the code coverage tool we use at @rainforestqa.bsky.social. It's always been great as a pre-release gut-check but lately it's become absolutely *essential* for ensuring our AI agent-written PRs have the coverage we require.

BOYD: Now for my part I have never believed the lie that we are man’s best friend.
RAYLAN: Y’ain’t best friends with any men? Not a one?
BOYD: Touché, for I am best friends with you, Raylan.
RAYLAN: Well if pressed for comment I wouldn’t say we were *best* friends, Boyd.
BOYD: We dug hole together!

Can you do me a favor and help spread the word? CFP is closing for AgentDevCamp. A totally real, legit, and first professional conference exclusively for AI coding agents. It's totally real.

This is better than anything Tim Walz has said

Minnesota Proved MAGA Wrong The pushback against ICE exposed a series of mistaken assumptions.

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

Bolsonaro hearing about this and getting extremely jealous that he’s never been struck by lightning

There are few things more Canadian than going out in the middle of a snow storm because your buddy hurt himself and needs you to curl for him in the final game of a two day bonspiel

Being a baseball fan is fun because you experience torment and misery at minimum 60-70 nights a year and every player is a moron chud

the 45,000 gun deaths we suffer each year are just the price we pay to live in a society made safe from government tyranny by an armed populace

How the hell is this real and not an AI image?

Me being too old and crotchety to sign up for the new thing all the kids are talking about is paying dividends yet again

this is not a tiktok it is a documentary

It’s only debt if someone comes to collect. Until then it’s a smart investment.

From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Agent Psychosis: Are We Going Insane? What’s going on with the AI builder community right now?

good post on this phenomenon from the point of view of a very influential software engineer who is also a big LLM user

Not knowing much about the franchise I honestly thought this was a THUNDERBOLTS* situation the first few times I saw it being referenced

My wife believes that if you want to completely break the RFK-backed hype campaign for whole-fat milk you just need to start saying "oh right, homo milk. like from Canada"
