This video got a community guidelines strike on TikTok. They don't want you to know the truth.

Every single year for the last 5 years, I've ended up finding a stray cat. It has happened again. Say hello to Chungus (my husband picked the name).

Taking him to the vet in the morning to check for microchip.

The cognitive dissonance that must exist for lawmakers to pass work requirements that they themselves do not meet.
Millions of people are about to be kicked off #medicaid by the #BigBeautifulBill for "working too little" by lawmakers who work less than they do.

Congressional work requirements when?

Shoulda sponsored Markiplier when they had the chance 🤷
Del Monte Foods, the nearly 140-year-old company whose canned fruits and vegetables have long been grocery store staples, has filed for bankruptcy as it grapples with mounting debt, post-pandemic headwinds and shifts in consumer spending.

While we're talking about the #WWDC, I wanna mention that my running theory is that Apple is intentionally working towards killing the iPad product line, or at the very least folding it into the MacBook product line. There are a few reasons why they'd do this

BlueSky has to have the absolute worst fucking API and documentation I've ever had the misfortune to use. The fact that this technological hellscape functions at all is a fucking miracle.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

When you hear tech CEOs say AI is going to take everyones' job, remember they also said the Metaverse would be worth trillions of dollars by now.

These "warnings" are marketing. You're falling for marketing hype. No real-world data supports the hype they're pushing.

It's crazy we have to teach full-grown adults basic concepts like insurance.

Recovery after a disaster costs too much for one state to handle without issue, so we spread the cost across the 49 that don't need help right now.

It's better for everyone this way. But I guess insurance is socialism 🤷

Is it just me or is #AI absolute garbage at coding anything involving #GoLang? I have not had a positive experience with it yet with any AI or any program.

It seems like every model is trained on a few more common languages and it just guesses what to do when asked to do #GoLang. Constantly wrong

I wonder how much of the return-to-office push is genuinely about having people in office and how much of it is pocketing a bargaining chip for future use.

It's wild to me how poorly documented and developer-unfriendly BlueSky and AtProto are. Been working on making a bot and it's got the worst API and like no libraries. It's no wonder adoption is low. Twitter bots are 10x easier to make

Researchers trained OpenAI's model on bad python code. It turned into a Nazi.

Researchers Trained an AI on Flawed Code and It Became a Psychopath
Researchers turned one of OpenAI's most advanced models into a Nazi-praising dictator by introducing bad code into its training data.

In 2023, our team created an interactive guide to rights the Supreme Court has established — and could take away.

Most rights are based in statute, but rights to same-sex marriage, search warrants and Miranda warnings are based on judicial rulings that the Supreme Court can overturn. ⤵️

Hot take / vibe check since I'm new here:

Religious exceptions to law should never exist. At best they make the law worthless (eg. vaccine requirement exemptions) at worst they legitimise bigotry by putting bigots' opinions above marginalised groups' rights in the law.
