The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Turns out there is not a lot of government waste. What gets cut is either not enough to make the point or it cuts real programs like USAID, social security and Medicare. The same “audit the budget” bullshit hit Seattle’s City Council races and those politicians couldn’t find any real waste either

maybe a hot take but I feel like Gavin Newsom should be spending his time doing everything in his power to pass the SB79 upzoning bill and actually address California’s housing crisis instead of hosting Nazis on his podcast

In 2020, Gavin Newsom dedicated the entirety of his State of the State speech to homelessness, which was to be THE priority for his administration. Five years later, to everyone’s relief, there is so little homelessness in California that the governor can devote all his attention to podcasting.

My son has a lacrosse game in Encino—right now it will take 93 minutes to go 27 miles. Getting around in LA is broken. They've TALKED about building rail that parallels the 405 for decades. It would improve millions of lives but many of the people it would benefit the most oppose funding transit.

TOS - Trump Obsession Syndrome: when you defend Trump and his cronies no matter what they do or say or think that they won’t do the bad thing that they say they’ll do/are doing and that it is just a negotiation tactic. Sufferers of TOS may lick Trump’s boots after he calls their wives ugly.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.
