The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

For those who do not do PHP software development: the arrow points to an annotation which ChatGPT said according to prompt is not to be used. It also points to a code segment which is pure nonsense. It's not merely not doing what it should, it's pure nonsense, PHP will abort with a syntax error.

This is nothing new. The US always reserved the right to arrest visitors when they saw fit for ostensibly breaking US laws while abroad. Sklyarov and Hutchins. Note everyone breaks the CFAA, it's just a question whether they prosecute it.
It's just more blatant now.

I’ve had two conferences—one in the US and one international—change titles of panels or the entire gathering to avoid being targeted or make people’s lives more difficult.
It’s the exact kind of thing the US used to label totalitarian when foreign countries did this to their scholars.

Going to a research conference next week. One of my panels featured researchers coming from Asia, who decided to withdraw given the uncertainty about domestic travel with flight cancelations. Just one more reference point for how the US under Trump has become seen as a basket case country.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

This is a genius idea. Charge $10K an hour to explain the accurate truth to companies: 1) AI systems are elaborate financial scams not tech 2) slop coding systems slow devs down by making them think they're coding faster and 3) leave you with a code base no one understands so nobody can maintain
A free, non-VC funded lifestyle business idea:
AI training / workshops for devs
Massive demand from more traditional companies that have budget for this and are seeing devs not really picking up these tools. They want to invest
Doesn’t exist as far as they are aware

My recommendation for reading James Watson obituaries is to take a shot every time you find an article which mentions the DNA double helix discovery without also mentioning Rosalind Franklin. Maybe being black out drunk will help with coping the amount of systemic misogyny on display.

I will take it. Why Spotify was not ruined when they gave nine figures to Joe Rogan to platform covid anti vaxx which certainly killed more than a few people I can't understand. But: I will take this.
Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

i see the transgender genocide is progressing well
1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.
Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.

So apparently you need to switch all of these off because even if on Warn it hides replies.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I will stick my head out and say it is confusing for me sometimes. But one can go on reddit and ask respectfully on /r/asktransgender and they will answer. Be kind. Be respectful. And you will be unconfused :)
I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.
on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

The simple truth told time and time again in the polls: The public doesn’t care about trans issues. Voters care deeply about the economy, inflation, & prices.
