Violence is never acceptable, but bullying has a way of summoning it. So tired of people don’t see the connection between “owning the libs” and political violence. Take some responsibility.

The IRS has digital and paper paths to the same record for you. It could take months or days for information to get reconciled. Your on-time payment might be flagged late, triggering interest and penalties, scary letters. They’ll eventually catch their mistake and refund you. But oof.

Sending a cold email to someone with over 20 years of experience, who is clear about their lack of a degree on LinkedIn and their CV, expressing your interest in talking to them, but stating that a BS degree is a requirement, should be a crime

Back in my day summer vacation meant staying up to watch Tales from the Dark side until KTLA went off the air. Not this Ticky tok nonsense

Somehow common wisdom will be that Democrats are at fault for allowing the over escalation which lead to Trumps over escalation which was all caused by his original over escalation

They want to stop immigration, but are worried about population collapse. They have stopped allowing all refugees, except for white South Africans. Can they say it any clearer?

The guy who just said tarrif policies will mean your kids will have fewer dolls this year used the same tariff negotiations to get himself a “palace in the sky” as a “gift”. If Democrats can’t use this to their advantage, I don’t know what to do with them.

I had one of those moments in making software where nothing worked. I had a deadline. Then at 1am, I got it. I love my job, but those nights age you, It’s worth it for the creative days where things come together. As pay and autonomy erode, I wonder how many people would choose to do this job

This is the week I learned that not only does the IRS payment system make it easy to fat finger extra zeros into their web form, they will just go for it and try to draw hundreds of thousands from your bank

50% of the time Claude just makes the thing I asked and I’m astonished. The other 50% it waits 2 minutes then burns thousands of tokens asking me if it should run the sed command until failing to make something that works
