It is a weirdly good fig leaf. "You know that insanely unpopular former president's absurd vanity project that cost millions of dollars? Yeah, it's also a poorly built piece of crap and a total teardown."

It will never not be annoying that in the year of our Lord 2026, I have to just restart Chrome every few days because my computer is running like crap.

Manwë told me Melkor keeps harrying the Firstborn of Ilúvatar so I asked how many Elves he has and he said he just goes to Middle-Earth and invites more Elves on the Great Journey so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding the Quendi to Morgoth and then Nienna started crying.

Growing up in Mississippi you see this a lot around race. There really aren’t that many full blown, snarling racists, but there are a decent number of “I just like whites more” types and a *lot* of go-along-to-get-along “My uncle told me that’s a bad neighborhood” types.

I am in no way letting ChatGPT off the hook here, but it is wild the degree to which the solution here is what it’s always been for important documents: if an assertion load bearing, check the citation.

This video has big “no one will let me order a normal cup of coffee” energy. You can listen to country music as your hype song. That was always allowed.

Here’s the thing, I would be *fine* with a broad based agenda of “we want families to make whatever arrangement they want to work work for them.” If some of that’s a stipend for stay at home parents, great! Instead we get culture war bullshit that isn’t even fully targeting all stay at home parents.

Several baby goats at a mobile petting zoo in North Carolina were infected with rabies, and authorities are asking anyone who had contact with the animals to reach out to health officials. Rabies can be deadly if people don’t receive treatment before symptoms begin. cnn.it/4zJSsXl

I feel like I say “y’all” *more* in professional contexts just because I often have greater need to distinguish who I’m talking to.

Whenever white supremacy comes up (as it is wont to do lately), I spare a thought for the fact that if you told an ancient greek person that he had more in common with some pants-wearing barbarian from northern Europe than with the storied and ancient land of Egypt, he'd punch you in the mouth.

I think a weird side effect of people not thinking of DC as a real place with real people is that, on top of the civic blasphemy of it all, some folks are like "does any of this even matter?" Fucking yes, dude! Imagine he came to your town and fucked shit up gangster-style. You wouldn't like it!

1-panel SMBC comic update. A circle of Jedi (including Yoda) looking uneasy surround another Jedi speaking in the center. The lecturing Jedi says "Look, whether the ruling class is officially good space-wizards or evil space-wizards doesn’t matter. know what predicts lower infant mortality and greater rights? Gross domestic product per capita." The caption below the comic reads "Later, the dark and light Jedis banded together to cast out the neoliberal faction."

This sounds like a pretty reasonable rationale for firing someone. Just “you said you were working on X and we hired you to work on Y” is enough. That X is Advanced Hitler Studies and Y is How’s Liberalism Doin’ is kinda just icing.

A real challenge of writing good documentation for complex systems is that there really is a degree of "mess with it until your head gets around it" to a lot of technical work, and planning for that is legit hard.
