How AI startup acquisitions work in 2025
Tired: acquire a company including a bunch of now-redundant executives who will play Game of Thrones with your org chart
Wired: acquire a company and lay off the now-redundant executives with generous golden parachutes
Acqui-hired: do not acquire a company. Only hire the redundant executives

Started a modded factorio space age run to try out 7-8 cool looking new planets.
1. Muluna does a great job portioning out Space Stuff behind a small planet to practice your Space Supply Chain on. Feels like part of the man game to me.

as an experienced systems person, nothing humbles me technically quite like attempting any sort of front end work. I just want to throw a proto at my backend and display the result!

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

I think it better to articulate it this way: The set of people willing to comply in advance to a fascist have already complied. Now all that remains is the fighting against fascism, so the sense of momentum the fascists had is gone.

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean.
I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

of course I’m being a bit facetious but honestly the only people who ask that are the ones who really want to say “how do I explain to my kids that I’m a bigot while still pretending to myself that I’m a good person”. because that’s what they’re struggling with.

To implicate these guys you’d have to connect the dot. Sure it’s just one dot but you’ll have to write the names in addition to making the dot and that just seems like a lot of work.
