Good morning✌️🍀

Have a safe and happy Pride, friends! And, as always—

In a normal society, presenting a paper that invented citations (whether you used AI or not) would blackball anyone involved from their field RFK should be resigning for this and the idiots who prompted for it should be forbidden from publishing papers

This is the one true perfect example of masculinity someone tell those weirdos on fox news in this essay I will -

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I am blitzed on juleps and #TexasHockey goals right now

I have a very important question. Which do you ask your parents for: Sonic Hodge Hog or Blue Blink (Like Mario 3)?

Spent the night panicking that I somehow broke caching across the app No. Apparently our auth logic takes 90% of this call's time. Ugh

Having one of those "this is broken, but if I fix it, everyone who relies on the broken thing will be mad" days

the world is so fucked early 2000s internet is coming back to try to save us

A bunch of folks showed up to the Bothell City Council tonight to speak against a potential resolution affirming Bothell as a welcoming place for LGBTQIA+ people. Here was Bothell Mayor Mason Thompson's response.

gonna tell kids I fought in the Clone wars:

The dream is dead

Millennials are on their 12th world-alrering, once-in-a-lifetime crisis But thankfully Gerard Way and MCR had us prepped for fighting through this level of despair a long time ago

What world do people live in where they make a call, it fails, and instead of opening the code to see what's going on they stop all progress and create a ticket and just stare off into space until someone helps them?

Bring back proper games journalism.

the default format for resumes/CVs should be HTML. All this DOC nonsense is just asking for bugs with google docs and libreoffice and new versions of office rendering it wrong. HTML has been pretty fucking stable for years now. (The fact this would let me embed Doom in my resume is unrelated)

The most depressing part of AI adoption has been the retreat of critical thinking skills Just because AI says it doesn't mean you can skip researching WHY it says that

It's really annoying when there's a standard and for whatever legacy reason, some popular library just doesn't use it Most people use "[0].foo" to get at an element. Not "/0/foo"

I missed that enshittification came for Spotify There were a few cool playlists that creators used as backdrops to their work I can't play anymore without paying in. Crap

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, everyone!

DOGE has no idea what they're doing and shouldn't touch code With that out of the way, COBOL is often a sign of under-investment in a system and the technical people and customers around it. A legacy system that's sacrificed incremental improvements for quarterly savings

Genuinely concerned that modern politics will not be explainable without a textbook putting lowtax, moot, or early Internet troll sites in actual history books

I joined a bunch of democracy advocacy feeds to see how I could help be a good US citizen After a month of only feeling helpless and like shit, I have decided to undo that decision. I actually want to visit this site again

You think other generations went through this, but their normies didn't have a big backlog of readily available proof at how deranged their own youth was?

every college, corporate, and nonprofit president right now

Really attached to this idea that throttling all Internet back 1997 speeds would heal society You'd lose long-form youtube video content and podcasts most likely. But Homestar Runner would still be there

Paddy O’Rorke thinks grooming standards are weaksauce Real soldiers who shoot traitors in the face and sacrifice their lives for the Republic wear facial hair
