I mean ... yes? It makes me more productive at coding, but not a LOT more, and my basic use cases are "be a more targeted search without switching windows", "check this code for problems", and "comment this file".

i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.

Holy shit ... man, I loved Sinfest so much back in the fun early days. But then he went SWERF, and from there to TERF, and now the descent into full-on Nazi madness is compete. I mean it dead seriously and perfectly literally: I browsed the most recent few strips and they are LITERAL NAZI MADNESS.

Things I and friends have done to calm an angry abusive man from further escalating and killing us or our children: -Smiled -Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight -Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors) -Forced friendly tones and words
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 3d agoRep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
"What if we can appeal to MAHA voters with some anti-corporate boilerplate" is the 2020s version of "what if we can appeal to anti-abortion voters by saying that expanding access to contraception will reduce abortions." It's a great strategy if you ignore everything they actually believe
Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy Podcast@irhottakes.bsky.social · 2d ago“It’s not a fight between left and right, it’s between top and bottom. Which is why I met with a bunch of plague cultists for the most powerful man in the entire world.”
Once, on The Old Site, I posted that I don't like using the word "neoliberal" because it has so many contradictory definitions. A dozen people immediately bombarded my mentions with some variation of "nuh uh, it means THIS!" ... and none of them agreed with each other.
Elizabeth Taylor@elizabethtaylor47.bsky.social · 4d agoOne of my least favourite elements of political discourse is when people insist that a word has only one meaning (especially when it’s heavily contested) and aggressively refuse to even engage with that fact
Metal is the new classical and most songs in most other genres are excruciatingly dull by comparison.

This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.
Kat Kerlin@katkerlin.bsky.social · last wk.Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...
This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Adam Cohen (My Personal Views Only)@axidentaliberal.bsky.social · last wk.There are a lot of controversial takes on what action Governor Beshear should take: leave the seat open, call for a Special Election, even appoint a replacement to force the GOP’s hand In reality, Beshear should ask himself one question What would Mitch McConnell do if the situation was reversed
More specifically, they are a Trump court except when Trump’s brand of crazy threatens to tank their stock portfolio, in which case they become a rationally self-interested court.
Andy Craig@andycraig.bsky.social · last wk.They're not a Trump court, they're a Republican court, and the fact those two things align 80-90% of the time instead of literally 100% doesn't mean they're therefore admirably independent. To even describe them as ideologically conservative is too generous. They are partisan politicians.

Jake Broe@realjakebroe.bsky.social · last wk.Ukraine is continuing their long range drone campaign against Wildberries distribution centers with another location in Simferopol burning down. An estimated 40,000 Russians have lost their jobs and more than $2 billion in damages has been caused.
Finally biked the towpath from Arlington to Harper's Ferry! Been meaning to for years and sometime always happens.
I was genuinely impressed by this Reuters article. Impressed of the way it's put all together. The visuals are so powerful that they say more than paragraphs of text ever could. You don't need dramatic words when the reality is already this devastating. www.reuters.com/graphics/UKR...

The most common tactical error in this administration is their bone-deep conviction that the most evil thing you can do will also be the most effective
It's deeply weird to me that the 'pedestrian' notion of bipedal locomotion is still not solved thirty years after computers could beat humans at the 'intellectual' problem of chess.
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 2w agoit's kinda funny that something that can pass the Turing test turns out to be much easier to make then something that can walk
One hundred and eighty miles of this, starting from downtown DC. It's breathtaking.
Andrew@awotanfella.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe C&O Canal still exists, and the towpath that runs beside it is the best bike ride in the region.
Ragdolled like a Bethesda NPC. We all owe Skyrim bandits an apology.

A lot of the work to keep society going is grinding thankless bullshit. Capitalism's plan for getting it done is to create a permanent underclass which must do it or starve. Communism's plan was to create a permanent underclass which must do it or get shot.
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 2w agothere's a pretty good tweet that's something like "people think that under communism they'll be given a luxiourus stipend to make art no one likes, instead of being forcibly retrained as a dental hygienist and deployed to Bangor Maine to care for the elderly population there"

There are two possibilities here. Taylor Farms paid a shit ton of money to get the FDA to say this. Or DOGE decimated the FDA so significantly that they managed to fuck up a basic sample test. Neither one is great!
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 2w agoThe FDA now says that Taylor Farms finding is a false positive. What a mess.
