Ossoff is one of the very few people adequately channeling Evelyn Normielib these days the base doesn't want to hear entreaties to our better natures, they don't want to go high while the other side goes low, they want someone to come on the TV and go "these people are garbage" he's good at it

Vote early and in person, folks. If you're in a "vote by mail" state and can deliver your mail-in vote directly rather than relying on USPS this year, do it. Otherwise get it into the mail at the earliest possible date. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I usually design my business cards to be conversation-starters. But at after too many endless awkward discussions at recent events, I realized I needed a new type of card. The conversation-ender.
A stack of business cards reads in English and Korean: Generative AI is unethical, annoying, and anti-art. Anything it touches will fail, and be a mark of shame on human history. I do not wish to discuss this further.

it's a particularly damning shift that "vaccination-hesitant" is a term that anyone can use with a straight face. If you have the resources and health prerequisites to get vaccinated against a contagious disease but you choose not to, you're not interested in participating in the social contract.

Just an FYI for folks, automation for bug tracking and testing has been a thing since at least when I started in AAA in 2016, so it pre-dates genAI quite a bit. I'm still in a wait-and-see for Capcom, but people being confused about old tech vs genAI is what the current techbros want.
