It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

The tweet that defined a decade of Trump | CNN

It’s been 10 years since Jesse Farrar accidentally defined a political era with one pithy, prescient tweet. He wishes it never happened.

Ten years of relentlessly hateful, comically elitist anti-democratic politics across the white people world, helpfully summarised. The wrong people are talking, the wrong people are deciding and it’s harming the careers of important people who actually matter. Smithers! Release the hounds

The incident fits a broader pattern in the discourse around 'free speech' and 'cancel culture': whatever comes from the top down is freedom; whatever comes from the bottom up is bullying and censorship. When Macklemore is dropped at the behest of the billionaire stadium owner Robert Kraft, it's an exercise of the freedom of businesses to 'demonstrate their values' by deciding whom to platform. But when Ed Sheeran's fans decide not to buy tickets to his performances, or even demand refunds, it's bullying, mob behaviour. Since most people are not billionaires and do not own stadiums, they can exercise meaningful power only collectively. The collective exercise of power must therefore be demonised.

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.

In the same way ppl eventually caught on that gamergate was just an excuse to harass women, it's high time people realized that when guys are anti-trans while claiming they're looking out for women's sports, it's really just so they can humiliate and belittle women.

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Today was my last day at Google. I have made a conscious choice of leaving for better. I am looking forward to spending more time with my kids, family and friends. I am looking forward to not yelling at my kiddo when he comes into my office because I am still busy until 7 PM due to some broken shit. Because we no longer have a sensible software engineering process and everything is rushed.
I am also looking forward to sleeping through the night without getting paged at 2 AM! Why and for what you ask? Because a job that, I kid you not, literally needed 2 CPUs and 20GB of RAM could not start for some time. It was starved for 2 CPUs, when God knows how many hours of CPU and RAM resources are going into GenAl! I had to get up to get an emergency loan and ensure the job runs fine. And then not be able to go back to sleep until 5-6AM.
Furthermore, I am looking forward to thinking for myself and gaining some autonomy, rather than taking product and technical decisions made up by higher-ups and executives (who are probably using Al for those decisions) and feeding them to Al to generate garbage. This has become absolutely meaningless to me very quickly over the past year. I don't want to be just another execution arm for someone else.
Trust me, I am not against Al. Heck, I have a masters in Al. I use a lot of GenAl myself, but work has lost all meaning to me. This GenAl stuff and the way it is changing software engineering creative process might be cool and fun to someone without a computer science or software engineering background. It might give them a sugar high, making them think they have superpowers now, but I find absolutely no joy in it. Needless to say, the use of Al where it should not be used is reaching new levels of absurdity.
I want to go back to "basics" and think. I invite you to do that as well.
With that, cheers to a better tomorrow. Better for humans, not Al freaking agents!.
