Wow 80% bad-faith responses, and people lecturing the creator of Flask here and the creator of Django/datasette in the comments on why AI is useless for software engineering...
Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them.

Also we completely abandoned our commitment to people struggling in low income countries and have literally ripped away aid that is resulting in deaths but it’s critical we give our money to Argentina? Where’s the logic there??
Warren: So now Trump wants to give Argentina $40 billion.
He talked about how tough things are for the people in Argentina and how hard they’re fighting for their economic survival.
Look around America. Look at all the farmers sitting on soybeans they’ve got no buyer for now.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

There’s no way he has four friends.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.
And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.
I refuse to sanitize him.
