Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

If you are a competent WordPress developer with imposter syndrome, try taking over a project built by someone else. You’ll see that you aren’t anywhere near as bad as you thought. Today’s exercise has been to refactor a Theme which uses Grunt: not just for assets but also PHP files.

Kind of an odd request but if any of my followers are skilled at Wordpress and can assist in setting up a blog for a side project I’m working on, I’m happy to trade content for help πŸ˜‡

While waiting for approval for a listing in the WordPress repository, I've rebuilt this plugin several times over. Replicating images between the Playground and a live site without unnecessary overhead proved particularly tricky but happy with how its working now

Things Aren’t Going Donald Trump’s Way He hasn’t ended the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. His economy looks shaky. And then there’s Jeffrey Epstein.

Considering the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, a shaky economy, and Jeffrey Epstein, things don't seem to be going Donald Trump’s wayβ€”and his efforts to regain control of the political narrative have been more haphazard than effective, Jonathan Lemire writes.

had Biden randomly wandered on the White House roof shouting at reporters about nuclear weapons, Jake Tapper would drop everything to pitch a new series of books and Hannity would anchor ongoing special coverage until 2029

but when Trump does it it's just Trump being Trump!

If act blue wants my money, run ads on Fox in every market every day that remind people that Trumpβ€˜s best friends are criminals and sex offenders. We have plenty of photos and videos.

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong".

Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

This is absolutely correct. The Trumpists will never be able to control the country, being the incompetent, nihilistic morons they are. But they could easily destroy it. It’s easy to break things, even and especially things that took a long time to create.
