Four years ago it was "they couldn't possibly overturn Roe that would be crazy."

The number of democratic responses to Trump that are "he's doing some thing bad and *he's doing it poorly*" drive me nuts. We certainly don't want him doing it better!

Maybe we don't want the despot sending the military to US cities to have a battle plane. Thanks.

Also, the thing that a lot of people won't acknowledge: Nobody *wants* to be on the street. So criminalizing it, sending in the military - it does nothing because what else are they supposed to do?

"Have you tried not being poor?" come on.

There are already judges that just "don't grant" motions that would be ordinary in any other court. This lawlessness gives more of a green light for that kind of behavior in all cases, and no lawyer should just tell themselves everything is okay if you don't work on "hot button cases"

It matters that a"sliver" of the judicial system is now lawless and despotic. The judges issuing or upholding these sliver of rulings are also the ones ruling on family court cases or criminal cases or personal injury cases or mergers or whatever it is. The sliver of lawlessness infects everything

Dunking on a large language model for not counting letters correctly just shows you don't understand the technology.

There are a lot of legitimate objections to AI but this isn't one of them.

"the judge won't like this" has the same vibes as "this is going to ruin the tour"

Thirty years ago Alex Jones was screaming about FEMA death camps. It was just projection, just what he wanted the government to do to people he doesn't like. It's crazy it's actually happening now

Biggest tech pet peeve: when a screen loads, pauses, and then loads a new element and things shift. Often, I clicked on the thing I needed just as the new thing loaded and now I've clicked on the wrong thing.

Load the layout, then populate, don't move things that have shown up on screen!

The rocket analogy is interesting, but I don't get the cost criticism.

If it cost $90 to charge the big battery 10-80%, but it cost the smaller battery $45, twice, to get the same range, one of those isn't cheaper, you're just capped on the capacity. Right? What am I missing?

An underrated form of social media is European travel bloggers coming inexplicably to Houston and then attempting to walk across 12 lane highways only to discover that there are no sidewalks or any other ways to get to any destination on foot once you get outside the city center.

It's like going back to 2005 on the Internet. Popups and flashing boxes and noises everywhere. 😩

A data dork had too much fun.

Turns out MSU has some very old and lopsided games, but here's the best I could do with Spartygami!

I pulled all the data from Winsipedia in a pretty scuffed way, so if anything seems wrong, please feel free to reach out so we can perfect it!

SOC-2 is also often a stand in for HIPAA compliance. Can you imagine someone building something HIPAA related with this thing 😬

I keep saying AI can be a tool for some use cases but the complete blind reliance is just fucking nuts. And anthropomorphizing of a text generator is also nuts. It didn't "lie", it doesn't "know" not to do something. It generates text. Good lord.
