What do we have to do to never see Alexi Lalas on TV again. I'm open to serious investment, like a couple % dock on my investments returns.

Jon Ossoff is going to be POTUS on Jan 20, 2029.
Micah@rincewind.run · 3w agoa) ossoff's whole "bring it, dipshit" attitude is exactly the right response to trump's election shenanigans b) good lord has he ever leveled up as a political communicator, I continue to think he's a very serious 2028 contender if he wants it
I don’t know if he was always insane or if he just has rich person fail-son syndrome but I take it as a lesson to do anything and everything to stay attached to reality. My candidate rule is now: If you didn’t work hard in life for success you shouldn’t run any aspect of the government.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 3w agoRFK Jr. asked the National Institute of Health to dedicate $5 billion (!) to finding a link between vaccines and autism. "That would have dedicated more than a tenth of the NIH’s annual budget to investigating a hypothesis already refuted by scientists worldwide."

As engineers we can help by building solutions that either don't require tokens to run or where tokens are required, can run on local-llms or quantized open-weight versions. Our skills remain very useful. Constraints are good!

For the longest time, I was unable to recognize the experience women had with other men. I'm large and strong and haven't ever felt unsafe. That privilege blinded me to the large population of men who harm women. It wasn't until my female friends shared theirs. Teach your sons, love your sons.

David K. Barnes@davidkbarnes.com · 2mo agoLately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:
There's never a more hopeful moment in a soccer fan's year than the week post season's end. That hope lives inside the management capability of a bunch of humans who have shown a lack of said capability in the recent past. Yet the hope persists, in spite of the horrors.

After everything we've seen, continue to see, and most importantly, the imagination that we've been forced to develop based on what we've seen -- (NOT AI) It's starting to become very clear that we're going to have to remove him and that's going to take overwhelming numbers in the streets.
