Was at a conference dinner a while back and one guy said "The future is AI. It doesn't replace senior developers, but no more need for juniors."

To which i replied:

"Where do you think senior developers come from. Straight from the womb?"

He went quiet, then wandered off to a different huddle.
Yesterday it was a middle aged woman in my gym doing the same thing. Talking a young man’s ear off about how much chatGPT helps her do her work. Charts and writing — “i’m not good at that and now i don’t need someone in the org flow to do it”.
On the C train in Manhattan, two women — middle age, business look, clearly lawyers from the conversation — going on and on about ChatGPT. Helping them do research, write briefs, even plant a garden at home! So quick and easy!

Ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

One really nice and overlooked part of being single is you get to pick your own social circle. You’re not stuck having to be friendly with some moron your partner has known forever.

A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."
Ex-Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel spouts transphobic talking points to Bill Maher.

"Look, in seventh grade, if I had known that I could have said the word ‘They’ and got in the girls bathroom, I would have done it."
Ex-Chicago mayor rips current city leaders for focus on bathroom and locker room instead of crime, education
During HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," former Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel blasted city leadership for failing the city on safety and educational standards.

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.
The Most Relevant Movie in Theaters Is Poised to Make Oscar History. It Would Be a Shameful First.
It swept the critics’ awards and seems like an Oscars lock, yet it still doesn’t have a distributor.

Demi Moore losing to Mikey Madison should be a post-credits scene to The Substance.

My mom was supposed to be here in 10 minutes to have dinner. Instead she’s posting random shit on Facebook. I guess the #ADHD doesn’t fall far from the tree.

#Severance is reminding me a lot of "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K LeGuin.

Pleasures enjoyed by the privileged under capitalism require the suffering of an underclass.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Just watched the 7 Fishes episode of #TheBear without any idea what I was in for. Thoughts:

1) Jamie Lee Curtis is a treasure

2) I envy every actor around that table for getting to work with that much talent in one place

3) I wish I had a Xanax

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

I like to remind people that “nothing” was slang for “vagina” when this was written, making the title a double entendre that basically says BIG DEAL ABOUT PUSSY
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is wildly inventive, startlingly original & downright HILARIOUS! The entire cast is off-the-charts perfection from the opening moments until their well-deserved standing ovation at the curtain-call. Shakespeare has never been more FUN!!!
