i want a covid booster tbh

Hey you have TWO DAYS to leave a public comment on whether the government should make Covid vaccines widely available this year www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

Sometimes you can really tell who the bottom is

However useful AI turns out to be, the new attack surfaces are just mind bogglingly large and challenging. Web security was a brand new category of careers. AI security will be just as big if not bigger.

Both California senators— @adamschiff.com and @padilla.senate.gov—voted for the pro-crypto bill. Disgusting. I’d tell them that if either ever answered his phone.

Guy does a record-breaking filibuster saying all kinds of stuff like “don’t give them an inch, this is the moment we fight” and I’m like fuck yeah Cory then he turns around and rubber stamps the regime. And people wonder why I’m a cynic.

Strong typing? Oh you mean like when I'm replying to a particularly wrong Hacker News comment

Reply guys, or replies guy?

Vim doesn’t do this. I’m just saying

So pissed with Google docs AI that I’m writing cover letters in Scrivener, god the rot is everywhere

“I will not yield to disrespectful men.” - Rep. @aoc.bsky.social

Going to start calling Sam Altman "Sloppenheimer"

Whatever “ethical use” of AI you think you can come up with is constantly trumped by the evil shit it’s being used for on the daily. It’s simply not worth it.

Yesh, this is fucked arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Linkedin has opinions on basic safety. rip to any project that hired these people lol

“So what do you think Democrats can learn from somebody who, like you, targets the most vulnerable among us?” said Newsom theonion.com/gavin-n...

"I asked ChatGPT and-" Well, I asked the local swamp witch, and she said you suck.

Reader, I could not smash that “pay $2 a month” button fast enough. You should, too.

We are opening up the @oxide.computer Discord to more than just recording Oxide and Friends, and now have some general discussion channels, as well as some user channels for our open source projects discord.gg/FRwjhBaH

My followers are 12% more attractive than the median bluesky user, and are presumably all here because of my apocryphal, if not wildly inaccurate claims, and jokes (yes, jokes) that make sense to at most four other neurodivergent people at a time.

The movie buff in me and the Rust developer in me approve. #rustweek

When did Colin Robinson start doing news spots

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"

increasingly radicalized about these ghouls criminalizing people’s literal existence

Learning that X is poisoning an almost-entirely Black community with natural gas fumes so groypers can tell Grok to undress random women is a perfect metaphor for the tech industry and how it turns human bodies back into extractive industry. Also: we should do public executions, I think.

"Well, there went my shoe business" permanently ingrained in my mind

I'm happy in California, but I definitely long for the ruthlessness of Manhattan service culture. Only in a place where you can hem and haw hold up the queue for 20 minutes without consequences can Phil's Coffee harbour a menu with complexity rivalling the space programme.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

I got the best teaching evals of my career for a large course last semester— along with three teaching awards— after rebuilding my intro class around in-class handwritten essays. I simply do not believe that this is unsolvable or that students don't care about actually learning to do their work.
