Look I know it was a mistake to turn Haliburton and Fox into the norcal Bulls, but I think a series of nationwide protests is really kicking Sacramento when it's down.

there really seems to be a strange “green lantern theory of fascism” that some people on this website have internalized, in which the white house’s desire for martial law — it’s desire for organized repression — is tantamount to a guarantee that it will happen

Here's a @mattyglesias.bsky.social substack post idea: - Climate change an birth-rate decline are very similar types of issues in that they're long term threats to our way of life with no clear solutions - People who care about one tend to not care about the other - That's weird!

Falling birth rates and climate change are really similar problems in that they're huge threats to our way of life and nobody has any idea how to fix either of them, but it seems like people are either worried about one or the other, but rarely both.

About a year into working with AI coding tools and I can't overstate how I'm just way better at everything work related. I'm faster, better able to learn new things, and less likely to make mistakes.

Python annoyance, I often write functions in other .py files and use them in a notebook, but I don't want those imports to be cached. I.e. when I edit the function and run the import chunk I want the updated function, not the cached version.
