I’m getting ICE ads, not emails but actual ICE ads, in my GMail inbox now

Polymarket has an 83% chance of the shutdown going over 30 days now.

Record is 35 (DJT’s first term) and we’re at 21 days right now

on top of, obviously, ending pay for all elected and unelected politicians during the shutdown, I propose that every time the government shuts down, all non-essential workers in the country are awarded PTO from their employers (who receive requisite tax benefits to offset the cost) equal to...

very few localities are directly downstream of discourse. touching grass and talking to normal people makes you realize that 99% of people in your community are 5-10 years behind what is going on.

they're more directly downstream of the effects of tech and politics, but not the information

broke: trolling is making the internet worse and is ruining discourse
woke: trolling is a form of discourse and is often a very fair response to conversations that deserve very little more than ridicule and disinterest

reminder: not every topic of conversation is deserving of debate or air time.

it really is incredible how intuitive Blender is as a software. I am functionally a 3D modeling idiot when it comes to Blender and I was able to whip up this planter model for a game I'm working on in less than 10 minutes.

it's basic but even just to get something super simple done, it was v fast.

game dev is awesome (for me) because it takes me back to square 0.

I know nothing.

this means that being able to spin around a little capsule with two twig arms feels cool.

working on a neat game dev project in Godot that I'm excited to have at a point where I can show it off

you have to wonder just how innovative and industrious the US economy is when the primary weapon they use in the global market is less "innovation" and more "we will use the power of the USD as a global currency to bludgeon you to death while we whine about how unfair your trade practices are"

hey so if your decentralized currency's prices are all highly dependent on the whims of The United States President

is it really decentralized? is it really the future of finance?

or is it just "USD but with more gambling"

re-skinned ScrollWise to use a sidebar and I like the UI/UX a lot more, even in its currently vibe-designed form.

you can now add/remove tweets and posts from the sidebar that are relevant to the prompt and automatically inject that content into your prompt.

still aiming for a mid-November launch!

it's good to see that in times which require at least an ounce of spine, some members of the mainstream media are still deciding to stand up.

they're using the shutdown as a weapon.

since we're re-upping the Trade War with China again, it's important to note that CN's exports are _increasing_ while the US is tanking its relationship with CN and several of its allies.

this would normally be a massive, unbelievable scandal in any other administration but right now it’s “just another Friday”
October 11, 2025 at 3:22 PM
lol apparently <BlueHaired Twitter> banned a black user for calling out the CEO of <BlueHaired Twitter> for following a controversial figure (not familiar with them, but apparently transphobic)

that's the uh... tolerant decentralized social media app for you

I keep having to remind myself that you learn like 20x more when you actually publish something (anything) than when you just let a codebase sit there.

hey so when there are a ton of calls for Red States to deploy their militias in Blue States to beat, brutalize and possibly kill people in Blue States

we'd generally call that a civil war
