if you didn’t need that lesson, you wouldn’t have had it
Pinned
Is it piano or man or a monument
To our hubris our malice our sin
And it sits at the bar still stinking of tar
My god what the hell next will walk in

“House of Dynamite” is 100% realistic in the sense that an actual nuclear weapon used in anger would be the stupidest, most unbelievably insane thing that has ever happened and no one would be able to make sense of it in the moment

“Blazing Saddles” is a pretty old movie so you’d think Chuck Schumer would have seen it

Megacalifornia could have a population of 80 million and 12 US senators but no, we have to give another trillion dollars to Palo Alto homeowners
They should invent a California where you can afford to live

the worst possible group of people you could put in charge of your “manifest and enslave god” project is a bunch of atheists
they think they're making a god, and to sell the government on it they've said it's a weapons technology on par with nuclear weapons

our next episode will be the tacoma narrows bridge disaster does anyone have anything to plug
On Nov. 7, 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, or ‘Galloping Gertie,’ dramatically collapsed into the Puget Sound. Friday marks 85 years since the disaster reshaped how engineers approach long-span bridges.

ive never seen or even heard of anything like this. a few federal judges order the admin to take the gun out of its own mouth for a minute and they immediately panic, demanding to be allowed to put it back in
#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

it is extremely important that we as a society learn to love again the things that are cringe and lame, while still consigning lin manuel miranda to the dustbin of history
are we allowed to talk about how Hamilton is good again yet or is that still, like, off limits

Claude Code is by FAR the most dangerous LLM I’ve ever used, in terms of lulling me into complacency with generally high accuracy/competency and then falling on its face

“The pay is an insult, but on the other hand, you can’t smoke pot” is not the winning recruiting message that many wish it was
If you want government to actually function, you can't just assert that people should take like 1/4 pay out of a sense of civic duty. There aren't enough people with that sort of deep conviction & commitment to actually staff government bureaucracies

it must be so fuckin’ rad to work for the times. every day, getting so strafed you have to close one eye just to see your keyboard, slurring about how you work at the “ppaper uv raccord”

please call your senator if you live in Washington to thank them for holding steady on the budget. I just saw that the White House has singled Senators Murray and Cantwell out as “demented freaks” in a GamerGate-style attempt to drive harassment towards them.
