need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

you’re walking up to the results of Obama letting Bush and his cronies off the hook and encouraging the security state to flourish. You’re looking at Bill Clinton’s illegal bombings going unpunished. You’re looking at Hillary Clinton cheering on the murder of Gaddafi. This is on the democrats, too.

Top to bottom, from the GOFOs down to the trigger pullers, anyone involved with what's going on now - in addition to the boat strikes - needs to be put on trial and face the full penalty of the law for the highly illegal actions that they are engaging in and/or facilitating right now re: Venezuela.
A lot of officers hanging their future careers and perhaps freedom on a badly-drafted OLC memo and perhaps vague conceptions of the presidential pardon powers.

Nono, in Godzilla Vs Kong Ghidorah, American soldiers are driven off from a Japanese occupied island in the Pacific by a giant pre-radiation Godzilla. He's injured badly and the Japanese squad give him a formal thank you and salute him. Steven Spielberg's dad is an officer on the us ship too.

Makes it damn near impossible for games to have those *iconic* parts of their design. The Halo 1 pistol is legendary, and stupidly fun, and it's the reason Halo 1 still has a competitive scene after so many updates.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
