The Internet was so much nicer when it took at least a tiny bit of intelligence to get online. Now any moron who can unlock their own phone is already online.

Has anyone coined the term "toxic optimization" yet? From social media to self-help to advertising, we are constantly inundated with messages about how we should do X "better" or "improve" Y. It's like being surrounded by constantly yapping chihuahuas. #noise #socialMedia #selfHelp

So you've written software that runs on a portable device... Your test plan should always include: * sleep/wake cycles * WiFi network changes * plugging/unplugging an external monitor * DHCP address renewals (same and new address) * combinations of 1-3 above #softwareDevelopment #testing

It's weird how people are starting to use #LLMs as a way of avoiding any accountability for good work. Someone hands you a wall of #slop that you're supposed to read, and if you complain that it's hard to understand, they say, "oh, yeah I had Claude write that." Be accountable for your work! #AI

LLMs often don’t save effort-they AMPLIFY effort. One slop-ridden document saves the author time, but amplifies the total organizational effort required by everyone who has to read & comprehend it, well beyond what it would have cost had it been written by a human for humans to consume. #AI #AISlop

I’m sure if Biden posted late one Sat night that he wanted the governor of Louisiana to rush a hospital ship to Greenland for a serious medical emergency in their populace at a time when we had no hospital ships available and there was no emergency the media would also ignore it.

If we spent half as much money on converting to using cleaner sources of energy as we spend on pointless, endless wars over someone else's dark-ages, polluting, finite energy resources, we could avoid so much of this nonsense. Just saying. #energy #oil #iran #stupid

In a nutshell, this is why I keep saying that some of the most violent, dangerous, and unpredictable criminal profiles are those who believe that they’re on a holy mission. When they’re ‘holy warriors’ for a cause, especially a genocidal cause, ‘God’ sanctions everything that they choose to do.

US had almost *no* job growth in 2025. Hiring numbers were revised down by over a million jobs. Largest annual revision in over 20 years. www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
nbcnews.com
U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

Just once I'd like someone from our "liberal" mainstream news media to ask this administration a question like: "Which immigration law was the officer enforcing when he went out of his way to shove a woman, who was exercising her right to protest, to the ground?"

It should be clear to everyone at this point that the President has turned #ICE into his own personal thug militia. He just sends them around to wherever he wants to create some extrajudicial, extralegal mayhem. Has shit-all to do with immigration enforcement.
