gawd, FEMA *would* write a 329-page letter-size document and call it a "reference guide" and have the TOC in the PDF copy not be hyperlinks to boot.

if it took you 5 seconds of contemplation to think of an alternative you should take at least another 5-10 to at least consider the possibility that it at least crossed the minds of 1 or 2 of the people who dedicate their lives and research careers to dealing with the problems we post about on here

Boomers/Gen X: Kids these days don't go outside. We didn't have cell phones, we played outside, and we just had to be home by the time the street lights came on. We drank from the hose. WE DRANK FROM THE FUCKING HOSE! Also Boomers/Gen X: Hello? 911? Yes there is a teenager where I can see them.

@govandybeshear.bsky.social Mitch McConnell has not been to work in over a month. It is LONG PAST time for you to call his office and say "get Mitch on a fucking Zoom call with me by end of day tomorrow or I'm appointing a replacement." Grow a goddamn spine.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

My new car threw an obnoxiously vague "vehicle malfunction detected, have inspected by dealer" message. My current OBD2 reader can only see engine and transmission modules, but those were clear of codes. I suspect a transient sensor blip or a hot differential.

I think some people get more enthused about D primaries than general elections because there are actual substantive debates to be had there that aren’t “give the evil people more power Y/N” but the general is in fact what actually matters

My longstanding policy preference has been to torture zero souls, for zero days. My colleague Satan preferred to torture all souls, for eternity. I appreciated his willingness to negotiate, which led to the historic Torture One Million Souls act of 2014 and the Torture A Bunch More Souls act of 2018

Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of my dear friend Satan, the Prince of Lies. Though we often disagreed about matters such as the appropriate role of torture in the afterlife, I will most remember how his quick wit and affable nature made our weekly golf outings a ritual. He will be missed.

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

It's a very dangerous Trump-era instinct to take a celebrity you and your peer group feel a lot of goodwill towards and project both good personal politics and presidential ambitions onto them. That's why I think a more realistic ceiling for johnny knoxville is ambassador to the UN

It's fine for any woman to give up *their own right* to vote. But that's not what they want. They want to give up *other women's* right to vote. But that's not their right to give up. If you want to give up your own right to vote you can already do that. Just... don't vote! Easy as!

The closer you look at the SpaceX IPO, the more it looks like Musk’s ill-fated DOGE and Trump’s takeover of the government. All of it is arbitrary, and built on self-dealing. It’s all based on the will of one man with a giant ego and an insatiable thirst for money and power.

Nothing ever changes
Some years ago, when COBOL was the great white programming hope, one heard much talk of the possibility of executives being able to read programs. 

With the perspective of time, we can see that this claim was merely intended to attract the funds of executives who hoped to free themselves from bondage to their programmers. 

Nobody can seriously have believed that executives could read programs. Why should they? Even programmers do not read pro-grams.
