It's insane that I looked at this from the Sleep Token account and instantly went "the crazy lads really done a secret double album". Like I've never seen any artist being able to put out vague stuff and instantly get everyone going nuts with theories.

What do these corporations have in common?
Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel
In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.
This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

'Too early' to make predictions, says Browne as summit told just 25,000 homes might be delivered
Housing Minister James Browne said there will be a ‘better sense’ halfway through the year if targets will be met.

As a Linux dev when you make a new machine every few years you say "I'll play it safe with a bunch of brands I know because they support Linux" Intel being normally one of them but holy crap I225-V is making never want to use their products again. Nerd thing to say but absolute garbage.

2 songs released from Sleep Token in their new album and I already want them to get a Grammy. The lyrics to Caramel are beyond anything I've heard in years maybe ever and the vocal has so much emotion.

Regardless of supporting AI or not and the effect of it on the job market one thing I'm so in favour of is the "deep research" feature in ChatGPT. I've been using it for debugging issues with my system by grabbing all of the logs of the issue, describing it and then asking ChatGPT for info

Love the Pitt, people won't shut up about it but the most recent few episodes are some of the best TV I've ever seen. It had callbacks to storylines set up throughout the season, it had top acting and just was so grounded. Give them all the awards.

The most recent Severance episode really makes me think the entire show is just a longer a darker version of the @dropout.tv Game Changer Bingo episode.

It's crazy that sometimes the only way to solve things nowadays is to take it to social media or shop your story around to journalists when you are wronged. It is pretty sickening that no one can have a bit of empathy and try and resolve things properly.

DOGE operative Marko Elez got the ability to alter US Treasury payment system code on Feb 1, WIRED's sources say.
For days, Trump officials fed members of Congress and the press a different story.
Elez is out now for posts reading "I was racist before it was cool" and "normalize Indian hate."

The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did
Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE's Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn't exist.

My AI programming hot take is I'm still waiting for an AI that just offers small incremental improvements to my code. Like I'm writing a method, give me type hints for it automatically, write my docstring automatically, do a unit test automatically. I don't need start to finish AI just finishing
