219·4 days agoIsn’t this Gender affirming care? /s
6·6 days agoLikely used as justification for some sort of illegal change to how voting works or to further push the “SAVE” act.
In that state, this is by the rules. Stupid AF, if you ask me.

Project Adrianna, 2005-2007
- Attentive lover for over 2 years, credited with over 50 mutual orgasms
- Bought award winning gifts that resulted in friends being jealous
- Successfully lost virginity
Buried in this:
During jury selection that morning, local press reports said, around three-quarters of prospective jurors expressed opposition to President Trump and ICE.
This is a case in Texas. While grave injustice is being done in terms of the state’s actions, this is a good signal for “average American” and their reaction to these policies.
The reason we’re in trouble is because over seventy-four percent of federal spending is on autopilot
The 74% is true, but it’s a smokescreen for other issues, namely, a majority of federal income is in personal tax. We’ve neutered our corporate tax income to a fraction of personal. When this is combined with the richest people dodging tax, you have the public paying while the rich continue to steal money for themselves.
I’m very worried about the captured market being developed. AI chatbots are a surface level, consumer product to get some revenue. AI integrated into an IDE & coding pipeline is a different beast, and it’s creating a faster development pace beholden to token/credit payments. Do you want to develop a feature now or in 6 months?
Things are not that simple. AI code inherits the same issues of LLMs (regression to mean). Certain things, such as single player video games, can be an absolute slopfest with code / security. Other industries with more restrictions (health data), more real world outcomes (finance, legal) will run into major issues. Those stories have been bubbling up & they are getting more prominent.
The taste of “code but faster” speaks to the capitalist class to be maximalist. We get this engine where C level is investing in AI, having their mind blown, while people close to code see the gaps that exist still. C level spurs on “use this more!” which in turn benefits their portfolios making bets on “more people will use this.” Meanwhile, codebases degrade, and a new generation, who was told “a CS degree is super safe”, have had the rug pulled from them.
I know many engineers/professional developers now who feel “ungrounded”, “lost at sea”, “unclear” of what happens next. We see great potential, RIGHT NOW, because this is likely the lowest cost for these services. All of this will ramp up, either in monthly cost, token cost, rate limiting. In a year, I wouldn’t be surprised if Claude code’s monthly cost has tripled, or there’s more tiers with less availability.
OpenSeek, OpenClaw, etc., have promise for us not terminating in some (further) capitalistic hellscape.
I felt really good at knowing what will happen in 2-3 years within tech, after 14 years of doing this. I’m really, really concerned right now, but I’m also trying to use the tools while they are cheap. Maybe I can make some of my dream games before we all explode. I dunno. 🤷

They will push this shit, after they raised the age, and political dissidents will go to the war front. See Russian playbook.
3·2 months agoThere’s a lot of chatter in thread about humans, but there are studies on apes & chimps having a sense of justice. Justice is not morality, but they are closely related.
My guess is that, from an evolutionary standpoint, animals & early humans that could work together had a better success chance. Collaboration requires some rules, even if that’s monkeys getting grapes or cucumbers.
Is there some physical material evidence of morality? No, probably not. However, there is likely more to this story than “We got all our own morals, maaaaaan. It’s all relative.” There’s also concepts like “love” without a perfectly material understanding. Doesn’t make it less important. 🤷
This quote is insane after this last week…
- Attacks Pope, angers Catholics
- Jesus photos, angers Evangelicals
- ”Give up rights for great American military!”, will anger Libertarians (they are single issue here)
It feels like someone is giving him terrible advice, like trying to actively sabotage his base. The Daily Show had a bit about him looking tired and not trying to lie anymore. It sort of feels like that too. Maybe he just really doesn’t care.
Bonkers week on this front.

I worry about govt’s misusing it. I’m still a big UBI fan, but after seeing it employed in Captain Laserhawk, it made me aware of how it can be a cudgel of a corrupt govt as well.
Jeopardy: what is “a concentration camp”?
Rhetorically speaking, can we please not give them marketing campaigns? They would run this.
It feels like this is a rage bait engagement ploy. Frontload the video with bullshit (again, projecting, because these same claims are levied against the last election in favor of 47), then put some rage bait shit at the end that the press runs too. The outrage bounces off of Teflon while his audience & the people pissed signal boost / raise engagement.
Why is “don’t” censored a bunch in the Epstein file? I wonder… 🤔
Sorry for the author, but that’s such a long time in this context. My opinion has changed dramatically since January.
