Spent last night, literally 19:00 - 07:00, coding a cron system. I had severely underestimated stateless dynamic interval exec. Timezones are hard but some good people invested in my future to create ready libraries. Makes me think of all the science funding cuts and their impact on the future me's.

This guy doesn't seem dumb. But he sure does sound stupid.

This graphic is perfect. And sad. And maddening. And true.

If we're all supposed to eb doing all our own research on every tiny thing, doesn't that reduce productivity which is what Republicans have been complaining about since...help me out Reagan? Probably Reagan. It's always Reagan, really, what am I thinking?

Honestly, with everything going on, kind of mad Robin Williams isn't here.

For the first time in history, we can proudly show you a DOUBLE German bollarding. This has NEVER been seen before so congratulations to us. #WorldBollardAssociation

This is incredible. Wait about 20 seconds into this clip. 🙃

1/9 AI code is horrible and so often wrong it's counterproductive for experienced people. AI inhibits innovation (and will always do so) and preserves terrible practices that have built up around crazy decisions and a schizo dev ecosystem. I'm a 28 year exp. web architect and app designer.

HEGSETH FOR POPE.

Can white people call other white people cracker ass motherfucker or is that cultural appropriation? Because Joe Rogan is a cracker ass motherfucker.

Wish I could see this Scientists at UC Berkeley used laser-based "Oz" tech to stimulate M cones, creating "olo" a vivid blue-green color only visible through this method, not on screens. 🧪 #Neuroscience #ColorVision www.nature.com/articles/d41... Relevant paper www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Building a bot for Discord is nasty bonkers. Reading through the documentation I keep wondering if I should be lab testing my coffee for hallucinogenics.

Dem’s project 2029 part 6

If you have no money, you have no rights. If you have no rights, you have no say. If you have no say, you have no future. All political problems are at root economic problems. Somehow, we forgot that.

The first bee to secrete beeswax. "Holy shit, I've got sticky white stuff oozing out of my abdomen?!??! omg, omg, omg, whatdoido??? Imma build a house with this shit!"

Anyone have any links to stories or posts that explore the American public's general complicity of the current sitch by not reading critically and/or not wanting to read "Dry, boring" stuff?

My understanding of evolution is that intraspecies competition is mostly sexual reproduction competition and interspecies competition mostly territorial competition. If we recognized we are all the same species, would we fight less over land and more over badonkadonks? #BadonkadonkCageMatches.

The University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein based in Kiel (Germany) has donated protective masks, antiseptics, bandages, filters for artificial respiration, as well as a set of medicines like antipyretics and antibiotics to a medical institution in the Kherson Oblast.

The Tuesday post is up! At some point, we're going to have to reckon with the straight line from Nazi tactics to War-on-Terror renditions and how America came to subject immigrant civilians to punishments designed for terrorists. (Now, I'm thinking. Now would be a good time.)
