The speed of writing code has never, and will never be the bottleneck. The bottleneck, the limiting factor, is always in the thinking about the code and how it works, understanding it. People who use chatgpt to write code are literally removing the only part of programming that is actually useful.

This is the interview in which I learned that as hard as I try to make sure that the words I say are entirely analytic, sometimes my facial expressions betray a deeper sense of what I also feel.

I keep seeing people say Musk “failed” in his government takeover. No, he did not fail. He shut down investigations into his businesses, he garnered huge contracts, and he stole the personal data of everyone in the US. That’s not a “failure.” This motherfucker won, and won big.

Elon Musk wakes up, bleary and disoriented. "Grimes, I just had the weirdest dream..." he mutters as he rolls over to her. "Tell me all about it, Space Daddy," replies Stephen Miller's wife in bed beside him. "Yeah, tell her," comes Stephen's bitter voice from a chair in the semi-darkness.

NRAO is listed as being hit with a 34.2% cut. Funding to the Green Bank Observatory would be cut by 68.6%, which would be absolutely cataclysmic.

In just 4 days you can see for yourself why every single critic has been surprised by Aud, and every one describes her differently—with most calling her unique. So who is she really? I have some thoughts, or you could read the books and see for yourself.

“You’ll never believe how (politician) DESTROYED (fascist) in this video!“ is the emblematic formula of worthless, grifty social media. Don’t tell me a fascist has been destroyed unless it’s Mussolini style.

There’s a fan cut of Rogue One out on the intertubes where they turned it into a 3 episode arc (with “previously on”s and everything) and rescored it with Andor soundtrack music and it’s really really good.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Well, at least the Leafs tried really hard for a few minutes there at the end of the first period. Can’t ask for more than that, really.

I haven't seen the same outpouring of support for Rodney Hinton, Jr. that we saw for Luigi Mangione. GoFundMe took down the fundraiser for Hinton, who is accused of killing an officer shortly after he watched bodycam footage of police killing his 18-year-old son.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops: I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Memorize it. And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.
