Musk's whole deal is to pretend that no one knew how government bureaucracy worked before, like it was this big mystery box, and it's exactly that combo of stupidity and arrogance that pervades silicon valley and leads to them reinventing a city bus and thinking they're Isaac Newton

Fun fact: Superbowl refs are chosen from a selection of people who have never watched football, as to remain unbiased. They then have the 24 hours before the game to learn the rules of football so they don't have a chance to be bribed.

One idea we teach young engineers is “Chesterton’s Fence,” which essentially says that before you destroy something, you have to understand exactly why it was built in the first place. Musk clearly doesn’t understand this, and so he can’t pass it on to the kids he’s put in charge of the bureaucracy.

Ah damn it turns out this whole political system relies on false assumptions about how big of an asshole someone could be

Hey chat, my youth punk anger is still here (and maybe has grown) in my big age, but I want some new bands that sing about things I'm mad about right now, like, for example, anything the current president is trying to delete from existence. Any suggestions? Queer and/or women singers encouraged.

This is unspeakably horrible, but all I can think of right now is that Matthew Lesko must be furious

Just noticed Google Maps is helping shitty ghost kitchens hide their actual location by allowing them to appear as a delivery area geofence on the map with no location pin and no physical address.

I just learned about PublicSquare, an "anti-woke," "pro-life" directory of local businesses. Don Jr. and Kelly Loeffler are on their board among other villains. Try it as a list of places *not* to go if you're looking for a restaurant, a gym, or whatever. www.publicsquare.com/marketplace

Computers are meant to be fun and we all need a hobby so we don't go fully insane. This channel deserves 100x its follower count! The focus is on cool projects and techie deep dives about the Game Boy, a system that is both fun and simple enough that you can't help but enjoy messing around with it.

If today's ChatGPT downtime caused you to be in any way debilitated, I'm pleading with you to take that as a signal that you're becoming dependent on it. And maybe stop before you entirely give away your precious human creativity to a world-burning economically-insatiable plagiaristic lie machine.

To distract myself from ongoing...things, here's an update on my Zepbound (GLP-1) experience after taking it for almost a month: Tbh it feels too good to be true. While eating I'm getting signals from my body I've never heard before, like "you're satisfied!" If I don't fight it, I eat ~⅔ as much.
