This is exactly what ICE said: "Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck." Now watch the video. They're no other word for it: They're lying.

I didn’t finish reading Stephenson’s “Fall; or, Dodge in Hell” because the virtual world building was too much for my brain with a newborn, but the personal ai filters to filter out the onslaught of others’ ai seems prescient

I thought perhaps the Russian bot / data center claims were overblown. In the last three days the Waltham Channel on Facebook has zero right wing comments on their posts. WALTHAM.

If it were possible with policy, forcing stores to implement a single queue for multiple registers would accomplish the same thing. No one likes being their own checker, they use the self checkout because it’s faster and it’s faster because of the single queue.

I’ve always wondered where the word “Armageddon” comes from

A body of ancient Jewish writings makes reference to the acharit hayamim, or "the end of days." The most famous document was written shortly after the Jews were taken captive by the Babylonian king Nebuchadrezzar II in 606 b.C.
A court adviser named Daniel dreamed of four beasts arising from the sea, the last with ten horns and iron teeth that "crushed and devoured its victims" before God appeared over a river of fire to initiate a kingdom with no end.
Some of Daniel's readers took this to mean that a massive battle would soon take place, perhaps near a hilltop outside the northern crossroads town of Megiddo. This was the spot where the beloved King Josiah was killed in battle just before the Babylonians drove the Israelites from their homes. The Har Megiddo (also called "Mount Megiddo" or "Armaged-don") was the traditional Levantine geography of good's final triumph over evil and, with it, the purifying fire and end of history.

My mortgage is locked in at a 3% rate and my cars are paid off. Those big expenses are well managed. But childcare is $40k a year, cheap shit is no longer cheap, and I haven’t seen a meaningful raise in four years. The future doesn’t feel bright.

Nice insight here. This is a key part of referential and ironic humor as well (h/t @dannagal.bsky.social) - the pleasure comes partly from realizing you've decoded the joke. The little bit of mystery in Ossoff's remark helped propel it forward.

I'm a software engineer and not an AI engineer, but I've spent the last few years knee deep in the emergence of LLMs. I couldn't say if the money spent on its operationalism has been worth it, but I can say there are more than a few parallels with the emergence of the internet.
