orange cat lurking in the window

my neighbor stopped me in the parking lot to say "is that your cat?? he's so handsome and I need you to know I'm obsessed with him" and I looked up and saw this

a sheet labeled may june July aug sept oct and everything is just plus 20 dollars minus 20 dollars.

***BIG ANNOUNCEMENT***

Due to governmental pressure, I am stepping down as CFO of the ANTIFA organization.

For transparency, I am releasing the COMPLETE financial transaction history of the organization for the last 10 years. The most recent 6 months are below.

Thank you for your support!

they seem to be doing worse than doing nothing so this isn't even hyperbole

A lot of the AI bubble will burst and take everything with it predictions feels like wishful thinking.

Your hated tech billionaires are not gonna lose their yachts over AI. It will never happen

Economy isn't gonna tank if suddenly NVIDIA is worth way less or Amazon writes off 100 billion in AWS losses

And I guarantee corps like Microsoft have this as an intentional backup plan. OpenAI collapses and they just buy up the pieces. Yes lots of money lost but economic collapse? Probably not

A big problem with predicting collapse from the AI bubble bursting is the books are so cooked it isn't clear to anyone what actually is exposed to the larger market -- so much is just bullshit numbers

How much of the billions are just shuffling around AWS credits and agreements between big corps

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

A gray and a tan bunny lie on a blanket, gazing at a scenic sunset over hills.

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

"Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
You're sweeter than a peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose
But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe"

bsky is trying to avoid the mistakes of the past and instead of putting tech bros or nazis in charge of the public square they are doing what if dril was in charge

*turning a big dial taht says waffles and constantly looking at the skeets for approval*

hating taylor swift is not a personality and neither is loving her

enjoy things and let other people enjoy things you don't challenge

greta ily what an outfit

Martin short telling Steve Martin that Tumblr was ruined after they banned naughty pics

This throwaway joke in Only Murders In The Building was fucking WILD. What a deep cut in a show for boomers

not that this a new idea or anything but accepting that everything is awful is compatible with joy

things r fucking terrible but like we still get 2 exist and do things like use sand 2 do math. I live in a time where we figured out how to land machines on other planets

existing is fucking awesome

this is our cracker barrel moment

the CEO who got her start in the crypto web3 world running a company founded by Jack is actually a shitty person?!

you don't say?!

what's next the Shopify guys are gonna be white supremacists?

people in tech stop rallying around shitty people and getting shocked when they are shitty challenge

If they cant get a life they should die. Shout out to Mircea Popescu who drowned

Karma is a bitch

rich tech guys have so many enemies and half of them are like some random barely housed trans dev working on some niche open source software

It is fucking insane.

Rich tech guys get a fucking life challenge

I am determined to make it in tech if it kills me. The trick I have learned in my 30s is that if u can perform under hate then people getting mad at you is just attention you can monetize

I will piss off all shitty tech guys and build a better part of the industry that employs me and others like me

A comment on hn by me about an autism simulator Scrolling through the comments and noticed that they are a pretty good autism simulator for working in tech with autism. The entire cast of typical characters is represented. - guy that thinks everyone has the tism and the spectrum is everyone - this guy has more trouble reading the room than anyone. but it is the lack of empathy and not autism - guy that thinks everything is a microaggression towards his autism and ironically makes it harder for other autists - guy with probable schizoid personality disorder that thinks struggling with people and social issues is just life because everyone is stupid and annoying - guy who read Bad Therapy once and now thinks autism is a tiktok trend - insufferable fedora guy that thinks psych is unscientific - probably secretly has severe depression and is making it everyone else's problem by being a jerk. whenever called out 4 being jerk blames the autism he probably doesn't actually have - guy who thinks the solution is just be yourself - guy with trauma from being themselves landing them on a PIP A primary problem in tech is how everyone is seriously lacking in social skills and empathy. This is exhausting for autists and everyone. The real autism simulator is just existing in tech. joshcsimmons 1 day ago | parent | next [–] Extremely well put. Probably best comment on this post.

the fact that this comment was controversial and kept getting downvoted and upvoted is hilarious 2 me

people either loved it or got butthurt. which also perfectly reflects the social dynamics I have experienced in tech. people either love me or hate my guts. and all I ever do is just point out shit

a birthday cake with a cat on top and the words happy birthday Alt: a birthday cake with a cat on top and the words happy birthday

happy birthday!

so court sucked!

we have to be out tomorrow!

your help is still very appreciated luvs

xoxoxo

effective altruism be like "The only thing that can stop a bad billionaire is a good billionaire"

Trying to stop Tracey from going to a Saudi comedy festival is a solid 30 Rock B plot

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

fun fact they learned it from authoritarian govs staying in power by throwing money at their citizens

big enough economy growing fast enough and no one ever gives a shit about any of the horrors

they expect a collapse that rarely ever comes

the trick capitalists have relied on for decades is tech making economies grow; making everything so ridiculously profitable and automated that it can absorb massive amounts of dysfunction

the system never collapses it just gets bigger and bigger

hot take: I'm not sure the AI bubble bursting will actually happen. the stock market has remained solid several times despite massive bubbles and constant chaos

why? because investors r now so fucking rich they can ride out losses 4 decades.
