The president should never joke about American cities getting bombed. Don’t normalize his constant pathetic, insane, and completely unhinged behavior.

I’m watching Eephus and I love these guys. I wish this was like Seven Up where they just came back every 7 years for another game.

I am excited for playoff baseball, but even more excited I get to root for PCA (and Caleb) for the next decade.

I got a new phone and I need a case that’s more about grip than protection. What’s your fave brand?

Hello. They are going to try to fuck with your vote, and we are NOT going to let them. Last week I pinged my friend Dana Chisnell, who knows how elections work, and said "Hey, let’s make it hard for them to fuck with us.” Today, we are very proud to announce the HOW TO VOTE zine. howtovote.tips

Ed Sheeran has fuck you money. This is a time to say fuck you. At the very least, don’t let a billionaire censor an artist YOU chose to stand beside. Show your fans what it means to stand up and fight.

Opus 4.8 can’t reliably identify my active git branch and coding is supposed to be SOLVED. I’m gonna put my money on the 90%.
A screenshot of a quote tweet between two AI developers. 

The original: “The people building Al earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear"

The tweet from the quoter: “Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe Al could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.”

This will never happen, but it would be real helpful if Democratic leadership could just say, “We cannot support the current Israeli government.“ There will always be unappeasable religious zealots, but this shouldn’t be difficult thing! Just hang the banner, “Genocide = bad, Jews = good!“

I am very excited to see what y’all get away with! My hope is the first show inspires me to say, “Oh, this is LIVE live.”

Fascists aren’t hiding anymore—they feel completely emboldened in today's political climate. At Orlando’s Kia Center, an MMA fighter with SS lightning bolt tattoos won to cheers and Nazi salutes from unmasked bigots. Ban extremist fighters and purge this hate! End fascism now! 🎥 alchemist333777

He’s been fantastic the whole series, but his performance in last night’s episode was fantastic. I hope he gets nominated.

It depends (lol)! I enjoy it most when I’m acting as a tech lead and ensuring code quality or learning a new system. I generally dislike reviewing LLM-generated code where there is no obvious human contribution. Software development is a team sport and LLMs are not members of the team.

My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

We need (NEED) a 80s/90s sound bite mashup site. Bonus points if it can play the sayings over the Kurt Vonnegut commencement speech music.

I wanna hear more about how CommonSpirit, a Catholic hospital system that restricts access to contraception and abortions, sponsored a NWSL training facility. www.americanprogress.org/article/grow...

Growing Market Power Among Catholic Hospitals Restrains Access to Reproductive Health Care
Stronger antitrust enforcement is necessary to prevent reduced access to reproductive health care, including abortion, birth control, and fertility treatments, while safeguarding market competition.

It’s ironic they fired the information dispersers and then wrote 2000 words that say nothing.
