Maybe Congressional Democrats can introduce a bill forestalling the current regime from initiating a war with Venezuela. The US military is currently massing in the Caribbean and bases in Puerto Rico have been expanded to support combat operations. One third of the USNavy is south of Cuba and […]

I’ve been testing a theory: many people who are high on #AI and #LLMs are just new to automation and don’t realize you can automate processes with simple programming, if/then conditions, and API calls with zero AI involved.

So far it’s been working!

Whenever I’ve been asked to make an AI flow […]

So, evidently trump and his droogs are planning to invade Venezuela. The casus belli being "drug traffiking." The real reason: Venezuela's vast oil reserves. https://youtu.be/3LnMGhyvDkE?si=1dtfLnQdEj6U76C9

A sweeping panorama of mountain woods and sky with dramatic clouds. In the foreground a steam locomotive pulls a train of freight cars. A scattering of industrial buildings nestle in the background. The action appears to be sometime in the late 1930s.

@heidilifeldman a lot of conservatives are wearing D hats. Some have always been this way, others are trying to take over the party after ruining their own and getting kicked out by the fash they invited.

I've long thought that dialog boxes should not use the word "SUBMIT". Instead, they should use a word like "EXECUTE" or "DO IT" or "MAKE IT SO" or "AS I COMMAND". And instead of "CANCEL" it should say "FOAD" which is an acronym for FUCK OFF AND DIE. They don't call me a UX expert for nothing!

Just emailed the #NYT tip line to let them know #MayorMamdani and I were close during our formative years and that I have dirt on him.

We weren't. And, I don't.

But, I don't envy the diatribe that reporter is going to get if they make the mistake of reaching out to me.

Talking Oglaf with Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne: 'We'd stay up all night drawing stuff to make each other laugh' - The Comics Journal Other than some time off every year for Christmas, Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne have delivered a new Oglaf comic, skewering fantasy tropes with absolutely not safe for work humor, every week since 2008...

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexyβ€”or occasionally anti-sexyβ€”OGLAF!

Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!

It's not too late for the traitorous eight to refuse to vote for the CR because the republicans have now reneged on their "promises." Foolish dems can be redeemed.

I'm on the night train from Kolari to Helsinki, returning from a work gig. I've always wanted to take one of these trains, as most of the train is sleeper cabins. Check out mine!

Mark my words.

There are no ballroom plans.

It is going to be a fortified palace/residence with a bunker.

Just like Saddam.
