When you live in a world where caring about other people is political and billionaires gleefully celebrate using the power of the government to hurt people, a vanilla Superman story from the comic books reads like a radical leftist agenda.

I finally did it! Deactivated my Twitter account.

Grok turning Nazi was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.

It takes deliberate and concerted effort to make Grok do what it did.

This article really helped clarify things for me. Economic indicators seemed great: low unemployment, high consumer spending despite CPI inflation.

Glad MAGA voters are hearing what Musk, Vivek, and the elites of the GOP think of them. They've always looked down on Trump voters. They mock them as stupid and ignorant behind their backs. Now Musk is calling them "contemptible fools."

Well, here's your new master, MAGA. Enjoy.

First they came for undocumented immigrants. I cheered because I was a legal migrant.

Then they came for legal Haitian Asylum Seekers. I cheered because I was on H1B.

Then they came for H1Bs. I cheered because I like pulling up the ladder behind me.

Then they came for me...

Not dunking on this person in particular, but I hear this a lot from people who aren’t professional engineers. The difficult part of software has nothing to do with code.
If I were a professional coder, I'd be scrambling to find a sustainable career path. I used to hire coders, now I prompt generative AI.

The last #PremierLeague 4-0 result for #ManUnited was in January 2020. What a performance today.

Ruben Amorim's united is giving us hope.
