Caq promising to get rid of first past the post in 2018, then saying in 2022 that it was delayed due to the pandemic but that they'd do it after the 2022 election, only to get zero seats in 2026 because of first past the post, is deeply funny

Not a great economy alert! Wall Street Bets users think Palantir spiked today because The Onion story titled “Palantir Acquires Pentagon for $800 Billion” hit their front page. They’re guessing trading bots indexed the top post on the subreddit reddit not understanding source.
A chart showing an immediate spike after the headline hit the front page of Wall Street Bets.

I grew up on Cold War spy stories and all of them are retroactively ruined at this point because how do you take a life and death plot to place a mid-level agent seriously when real actual life involves “bill pulte named DNI”

The most New York aspect of this is the caller who, after learning she’s speaking with the mayor of NYC, immediately reverts to asking him to handle her question about whether recycling will pick up her mirror which is “not too big and not too small”

So the US will either be leaving the conflict in 1-3 weeks with the strait still closed, or be attacking civilian energy structures. That's uh, super clarifying.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

i still find it absolutely fucking incredible that Marco Rubio has a imagined version of Chiang Kai-Shek that he's turned into a ancestor spirit for the GOP
After you became the first Cuban-American speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, in 2006, your mentor, Jeb Bush, presented you with a sword. What was that about?

Chang is a mythical conservative warrior. From time to time, if there’s a big issue going on, you’d see Jeb say, “I’m going to unleash Chang.” He gave me the sword of Chang.

9 days in, the most basic question about the Iran war remains unanswered

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

This is why people are so upset when people say Democrats need to stop focusing on trans issues because it's too woke and people aren't ready for it: we're not talking minor inconvenience here. We're not talking microaggressions We're talking: they are stripping IDs from trans people

My take as a software engineer is that it's really good at making quick throwaway prototypes, hobby projects, and apps and tools to help coworkers that aren't customer facing, but is bad at making code that's easy to read and maintain, or that's reliable at a high threshold.
