It's kinda insane how if you really love Programming you should probably not go into the current software development industry because you are certainly not gonna be doing enough Programming to be content with your life.

Thinkinge of askinge Chat GPT a questioun about your plannes, thoughtes, ideas? Trye a tarot deck ynstead. Cheaper, bettir for the environment, bettir resultes, not evil.

How much will it cost the Air Force to remove all the listening devices from Trump's pimpmobile plane?

I remember, years ago, when it looked like I was going to have a background check for a security clearance, they asked me if I had ever been known to talk in my sleep. Because people who talk in their sleep might conceivably say secrets that their spouse might overhear, and breach security.

Anybody who ever passed a junior high civics course should be outraged.

I, too, work in software. Therefore, I prefer "main" over "master" because it saves me two keystrokes.

Thys ys a real xbox commercial. A depressid lifelyke rat person doth spende a horrible daye at worke. Returninge home, thei turne on their xbox to playe vydeo games and become human. The slogan: 'Wake up the human ynside.' Unintentional Victor-Hugo-level hard-hitting critique of our messed-up tymes.

Agree - I've always thought there's a certain amount of re-litigating the 80s at work with him.

It appeals to the racists, so it's a win

I mean, it's The Onion, but it's also the plan.

1. We should talk about the prevailing reaction to Signalgate – utter disbelief. People who know something abt national security, military affairs, gov't secrets & the law appear stunned by the clowns, idiots & buffoons who “accidentally texted” classified war plans to the editor of The Atlantic.

The reason the Trump administration has so many incompetent opportunists who make bad choices is because the only criterion for getting any of these jobs is that you've shown loyalty to Donald Trump—and that's a huge sign that you are an incompetent person who makes bad choices.

You lie

To be honest, if you're an American and you're NOT angry about the current situation in America, I'm really not interested in your company, your opinion, or your vote.

hey, can one of the reasonable centrist writers condescendingly explain to me again that it is overblown to call these people segregationists?

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

You know what type of people a $5 million "Gold Card" for US citizenship will attract? Successful criminals and state-sponsored spies.

Well done, Donald, after years of accusing Democrats of using immigration to bring unsavory people to the US, you prove that you were, once again, just projecting.

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

Spydere man Spydere Man

Lo, anon cometh Spydere Man

Young Coders Are Using AI for Everything, Giving "Blank Stares" When Asked How Programs Actually Work Young programmers "can't actually program" because they're too reliant on AI models, writes developer Namanyay Goel.

I'm sure this is fine

JD Vance sitting awkwardly in a chair on the CPAC stage in a manspreading posture with the bottom hem of his slacks riding up to mid-calf level leaving a gap above the top of his socks showing almost an inch of skin. He looks like a ventriloquist's dummy

Democrats should never have stopped calling these guys weird couchfuckers

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Attention Citizens:

Fnord.

Thank you for your cooperation.

A chart of murders as a share of annual total deaths in the United States, showing a sustained high peak in the 1970s and 1980s, when Tuberville's generation came of age.

A graph of the murder rate per 100,000 persons, showing a sustained peak from 1970 to the mid-1990s, when Tuberville's generation reached adulthood.

Also Tommy "We Beat, Not Treat, Mental Illness" Tuberville, how did that work out when your generation hit adulthood in the 70s?

Oh, right, it produced a huge spike in murders.

Kids these days! Taking their medications and then NOT murdering anyone! How dare they!

An argument for Rep. Mast - 8000 troops is 0.6% of the active duty personnel. If the gov. rewards them with tens of thousands of dollars of backpay what kind of message is it sending to the men and women who followed orders. Isn't following orders a big deal in the military?

Excellent post

Trump’s definitions of "male" and "female" are nonsense science with staggering ramifications "How can you so fully misunderstand basic human biology and then legislate about it?"
