Epilogue: The fascists were driven out of Brighton, but were offered a significantly downgraded site on Hove seafront. By which time, the numbers had terminally diminished. A deeply sad and tatty sight. But at least they managed to give their wee speeches to the other two still there. #Brighton

Went to contact Stripe support today and found there doesn't appear to be any way to do that. Just an LLM AI Assistant that can only tell you what's in the public documentation. As my (and many many other) businesses rely on Stripe that's pretty terrifying. Seems so short sighted. #stripe

sorry not sorry but you gotta know this cursed SQLite fact too

Not only that, it does not throw any error if you give some random type.

CREATE TABLE t(value TIMMYSTAMP);

There is no TIMMYSTAMP type, but SQLite accepts this happily.

SQLite has five types: NULL, INTEGER, REAL, TEXT, BLOB. Want to know something cursed? The type affinity works by substring match!

CREATE TABLE t(value SPONGEBLOB) --- This is BLOB type!
So yeah, this happens too:

Note that a declared type of “FLOATING POINT” would give INTEGER affinity, not REAL affinity, due to the “INT” at the end of “POINT”.

First try making my own dumplings (including the casings). Filled with pork, garlic and ginger. Fried to make the bottoms crispy then steamed the rest of the way. A bit lumpy and misshapen, but delcious! Ate with some steamed pak choi (not pictured) 😋 #cooking

8 lumpy misshapen dumplings in a circle around a soy sauce based dip with sesame seeds and spring onions floating it.

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

bouie’s skeet, deleted at the direction of the NYT:
“he is a south Asian man born in Uganda?”

bouie’s skeet, deleted at the direction of the NYT:
“and the source is a eugenicist who opposes affirmative action because he thinks brown people are an inferior race! cool!”

“I think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi”

Forgot to mention it also had salmon in it! Just a couple of frozen fillets roasted for 25 mins.

First time making my own pasta. Don't have the equipment so just rolled out with a rolling pin. Made up a sauce as I went along with shallots, a white wine reduction, chick stock and lemon juice (not sure if sauce has a name, but is delicious). Pleased with it, good texture and very tasty 😋 #cooking

Close up of pasta. Looks kinda like thick tagliatelle. Sauce, flakes of salmon and black pepper are visible.

Same as the other photo except pulling back a bit more to show the bowl containing the pasta.

I just voted against proscribing Palestine Action, a civil disobedience group, as a terrorist organisation. But I'm furious that in doing so, the government forced me and others to vote against proscribing two other clearly terrorist groups. Cynical and dangerous from govt.

So surprised that him, and his ability to write an app or get a VC to give him money, couldn't just save billions of dollars at a government agency by hooking up ChatGPT or whatever. Clearly no learning or real self reflection, just "huh thats weird" and on to whatever is next 🤬 2/2

Listening to the Planet Money interview with Sahil Lavingia, the founder of Gumroad, who went to work at DOGE. It's a perfect and infuriating demonstration of that terrible thing where we programmers think we're smart just because we can code. Just the dumbest guy alive with no self-awareness. 1/2

The suit includes the legal definition of Shrek

Shrek's namesake character is a large, bald, dull-green ogre with a broad,
round face, brown eyes, and highly distinctive trumpet-shaped ears. Shrek typically wears crude clothing consisting of a canvas-like shirt, a leather vest, and brown leggings.
