not sure what's cool on here! I like post offices, parades, socialism, cats, and milk chocolate.

The party of tax cuts just enthusiastically endorsed the highest sales tax increase in the country’s history to own the libs.

virginia tech's ETD repository has been crashing so often from being scraped by so many bots that they've had to close off external, non-university access. In case you needed more evidence of how LLM training hurts open access.

@schumer.senate.gov don’t be a Nazi, vote no on cloture. Or step aside and let someone lead who has a spine and a conscience.

Primary @schumer.senate.gov Like let this be over. We need to be done with people who care more about elections and playing 3d space chess vs actually representing the will and needs of the people they were elected to represent. And we need people with actual spines

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating. This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens. (Even better: Tesla will hate this)

OH from a non-computer person: “my coworkers don’t know how to use computers at all so I get to save the day by suggesting they make sure everything is firmly plugged in, and if that fails, restarting the computer.” They never believe me when I say that’s all computers, for everyone

if anyone sees this post, it's gonna be really unpopular but I wish we got as serious about road safety as we do about airplane safety every week, ~800 people, about two planes' worth, die in traffic in the U.S.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Amid these plane crashes and derailments (not a coincidence), I’m reposting my public transportation thread from the bird app: Now that we’re in the middle of a plane Armageddon™️, it’s a good time to remember how public transportation is *purposely* underfunded across the ENTIRE United States.

I think one of my most controversial hot takes is that private school should be largely illegal. I might be convinced that there's a few scenarios where it's needed, but on the whole, people should just not be allowed to send their kids to private schools.

Anyone who says React adds structure and prevents spaghetti code is lying (to you or themselves). You know what stops spaghetti code? Good docs and developer discipline. That's bigger than tooling. Stop throwing tech at people problems.

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.
