工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 1hThis is why the anti-Haitian rhetoric was so central, since it gave people space to think it was about antiblackness not general xenophobia (despite the literal words and policy proposals lol) 120
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 2hI guess the charitable way to read it is that he was using a well-trod liberal California trope to talk about his own very real and understandable cultural shock. Bc yeah Bakersfield is a big city. 020
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 3h"Liberal about what?" "oh, you know ..." type of situation I'm guessing lol 260
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 16h"student event permits" ... I guess occasionally a student event might want to shut down a street, but probably this is more symbolic than anything. Which is important too ofc. 110
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 18hI mean Tijuana/SD border is notoriously obnoxious but people do it anyways bc housing is so much cheaper in Tijuana 110
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 19hDo people not commute daily over the border? Census MSA rules seem like the most sensible way to define a city. Like Tijuana and San Diego probably the same urban area. 210
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 19hOur allies are client states. (Except maybe not Israel, also not really an ally.) 010
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 20hlike is that even true. Silicon Valley has been making all its money for the past two decades with marketing, which is pretty much applied psychology. Business majors and college dropouts aren't uncommon at all. 040
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 20halso math is one of the liberal arts, I think people think it means "humanities" or something. 3230
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 21hWhy bother seizing slopinsidehighered.comAI Slop Coming to University Library Near You (opinion)Librarians must hold the gates against machine-generated titles. 000
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026That describes my current condo lol, stairs go up to bedroom and there's no door. The only thing blocked is wifi signals for some reason. But it's not a million bucks. 010
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Sounds like work. His whole cabinet of thristy TV personalities are gonna to be up to all sorts of shenanigans in the next two years tho 010
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026"the anti-oakie law is really about ensuring access to mental health treatment" 020
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Like some people will spend their day drunk with or without a space place to sleep at night, and in fact they'll get called homeless regardless as well. I think this is partly where the pushback to housing first comes from, people know they don't actually care about whether people are housed or not. 140
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Maybe it is an ad they bought one spot for in order to make epic online content 030
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Otoh Emeryville go-around uses TripShot to send push notifications about specific buses being missing and apologizing for the inconvenience. I feel like two cancelled missed buses in a row warrants some sort of announcement even at the scale of AC Transit. 110
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Like it's used for computer game animation all the time. And people absolutely call it animation. Sometimes it's used in anime, especially by studios that mostly do computer games, and granted it's often not-great. 010
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026I guess lol. I feel like Cummings is there to do voice acting and is basically a model to help the motion capture animators. 100
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Yeah it's not a premise which lends itself to live action filmmaking bc it wasn't supposed to be and basically isn't 120
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Venn diagram between People's Temple and Aella's birthday party 1232
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Defragging stopped being a thing bc we got more advanced filesystems, not bc of SSD. 010
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Like the apartheid regime was an entire system that had to be carefully dismantled. Otoh fuck these idiots who barely got a regime going but are acting like they have one lol 050
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 29/09/2026Yeah I'm guessing it's a lot like coding, where the whole game is ensuring all the information needed is available and managing the context 110
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 28/09/2026It's motivated reasoning but also just stale reasoning. Was so funny when LLMs came in able to make limericks but not able to add properly. Some folks locked in their takes then and the various bizarre/terrible Apple and Microsoft LLM product roll outs. 130
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 28/09/2026NM Is solid blue and very rural. So I bet it shows up as an outlier in a lot of graphs like this. Indigenous population plus rural white people who moved there because its pretty, reminds me of coastal N. California. (like how the California gerrymander was done with white people) 040
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 28/09/2026like consider the counterfactual a bit. if Trump was riding a 80% approval rating then we'd be counting down the last days of the republic. which seems like a big deal for the rest of the world... 020
工an Monroe 🚰 @eean.dev · 27/09/2026The fact that the algo is good is the problem. I try to keep away from such things, listen to radio with human DJs to find new stuff. I think we lose something when music curation is turned into a number crunching exercise. 0101
