Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Detective JD Procures Cop Rations

We will not have this silver lining when Detective JD takes over with his trivial Rhetoric and Authority check failures

It’s policy. You can’t be a man/woman of the people, and support expanding and funding genocidal regimes.

The solution isn’t more Fettermans, it’s more Mamdani like candidates.

DNC establishment is simply more scared of status quo change than they are of Trumps 3rd term. Vibes aren’t enough.

God forbid dems realize it’s a policy issue. Run a candidate focusing on working class solidarity and see what happens, doesn’t matter if it’s a man or a woman

You can pass the references in as an argument to some function, or use Rc/Arc as well. Do you have a specific case that you felt was too polluting?

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Comic Con banned Al art. https://Inkd.in/dEeA7GFZ
On one side: Artists fighting to protect craft, credit, and originality.
On the other: Creators finally able to bring ideas to life without mastering the traditional tools.
Al is dividing the creative world in two.
But hasn't this happened before?
Was Photoshop cheating?
Was digital photography?
Is CGI less "real" than practical effects?
Is animation less valid than live action?
Studios are already using Al.
Cinema is evolving.
Music, design, apps - everything is shifting.
We're not just witnessing a tech shift. We're living through a cultural evolution.
Yes, we "should" protect artists.
Yes, we *must* talk about ethics, consent, originality.
But should creative expression only belong to the trained?
Al is giving more people a seat at the creative table.
To build, paint, compose, animate - without gatekeepers.
Maybe we'll need two categories:
@ *Human-only*
2 *Al-assisted*
Or... maybe not.
Because creativitv should

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

Into the abyss The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

I wrote about how concentration camp regimes evolve and why it's not too late to stop this, even though we are deep in it now.

Is it dementia, or is it the chronic brain trauma that occurs when one is used to getting whatever one wantsβ€” peace prizes, raping minors, cutting off aid for millionsβ€”and being enabled for decades with no consequences!

But they need some sort of process they control to keep people using their OS. I can’t imagine them making it easy to migrate from whatever their flagship OS is to an OSS alternative. That would be an existential threat to them. Users would simply start to migrate to a less bloated alternative.

I was already enjoying the article, then NixOS was mentioned ❀️. I think the only thing keeping some gamers in mass on Windows at the moment is spywareβ€” sorry kernel level anti cheat. In theory Microsoft could implement this with some signing, probably ChromeOS is the closest modern analogy?

This is the kind of fact you would never believe if you only listened to the far-right propagandists the algorithm promotes on X.

London is safe, and Europe as a whole is much safer than the US and Russia, both of which keep lecturing us

You either live in a democracy, in which case you, as citizens, are responsible for the actions of your democratically elected leaders...or you have no choice in who gets elected, in which case you don't live in a democracy and you should definitely do something about that.

The world is sick of hearing 350 million Americans say they're helpless and nothing is their fault

I love the direction Angulars gone in in the last few years, but compared to Vue the ecosystem is just too weak at the moment for me to use it. I hope it continues to improve and feel free to point me towards some fun projects!

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.
