Everyone should assume they've internalized ideas that are racist, misogynist, transphobic... that they don't recognize as such because that pre-acceptance makes it easier to skip some shame processing and just move on to doing better
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Tried out another attempt to generate #AltText with an LLM. Shockingly, it performed poorly.
I threw a few images at it that are somewhat specific to social media, and have included what I'd write, the generated text, and a rating.
It missed crucial details in all 4 cases, which has been a weakness of all alt text generation platforms I've come across, though some more than others.

Why did you transition? Wrong answers only.

As a kid playing catch with my Dad, he accidentally hit me in the face with a baseball. When I started to cry, he told me "Boys don't cry." He always made good arguments, so I figured that since I couldn't stop crying, that meant I wasn't a boy.

man, i never registered just how awful "Grok" is as an LLM name when it's a word for understanding a thing on the deepest level possible and LLMs do not have the ability to understand

i've heard a lot of computer science folks so mad about "AI" now so widely meaning a narrow wedge of actual ai, but I feel like it's got nothing on The Algorithm

i don't want to brag, but when i see wild claims about a research paper, legislation, or law, i go and at least skim the research paper, legislation, or law

I support little of the gun control talked about in the US. so much of it comes down to making guns more expensive or letting a white supremacy judicial system more easily disarm the oppressed. A straight up limit on count, however I can more easily get behind.

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Is an executive order claiming control of the federal budget in order to effectively overrule state laws in direct service to capital while openly pining for dictatorship some kind of bingo?
Trump: "We have to be unified. China is unified because they have one vote -- that's President Xi. He says 'do it' and that's the end of that. We have a different system."

I feel like executive orders superseding state law is such a wild departure from originalism that even the right wingers calling themselves lovers of the constitution should know better, but then SCOTUS right wingers left behind any respect for the document long ago.

I just completed "Movie Theater" - Day 9 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode
Definitely overthought at first, and after submitting the answer I realized a case that would break my implementation that just happened to not be in the input I got. Also 17s runtime, oof. I'm sure there's a better way.

Day 8 seemed like a big difficulty bump, but I also made it slightly more complicated than it needed to be. Learned from @clews.id.au that I accidentally reinvented an algorithm 🤦♀️ clews.id.au/til/kruskal/
