Why put a label on it?
Apparently the gov website for ATC scheduling is down and the IT support folks who maintain it are furloughed.

Reason 999 I'm glad we're not flying anytime soon.

Also ATC folks not doing well at all.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

Local models are actually pretty good now.

Takes everything my pixel 8 has to process this single image but, this could be an interesting prototype!

MCP servers are pretty fun to mess around with and I love a good cli too so why not merge the 2.

It really feels like the future we're heading for is more Cyberpunk 2077 than Star Trek.

The people marketing electric cars should really lean into the day-to-day convenience factor more.
It's quite nice to just plug it in over night like an oversized cellphone and just not worry about fueling up.

It'd be nice to have been wrong about Trump v2.
Exactly what everyone said would happen is happening, could even be argued we underestimated the orange goblin's disdain for democracy.
