Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

Exactly this, and also I don't think it's true, this patronizing assumption voters only care about "the economy" and appeals to the Constitution mean nothing. As is often the case, they have a picture in DC of voters that's at best overly simplistic and often outright incorrect and insulting.

When Halo is being particularly barky, I let her outside. This bothers me less, but my neighbors more. This is what economists call a negative externality.

Public opinion on immigration is 1) malleable, and 2) easily sours on visible cruelty, and if anyone told you otherwise over the last 5 years, they're offering you cursed ideology masked as wise pragmatism

For sale: One pair of baby shoes, never worn. We were gifted so many shoes by the large, loving community surrounding us and our child, we simply never had a chance to take these adorable booties out of the box. And our kiddo's been growing like a weed - they're already in the next size up!

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

For context, Lee County is the Southern most county in Iowa, basically the part that looks like a goatee on Iowa's East Coast. It's over an hour's drive from Iowa City. Trump carried 62% of the vote. Grassley is notorious for promoting events in a way that Dems don't find out.

Someone grab the A1! The LLM-to-malware pipeline is a perfect downward spiral: AI generates code with imaginary packages, attackers register those package names with malware, and unsuspecting developers execute the code. Another way AI errors cascade into real-world threats.
