wow airtable getting acquired by bending spoons is the sad end of a startup that felt like it really had it for a bit! their API documentation was truly the gold standard for years

in this crusader kings 3 game i am a boy king of france via this little part of norway, currently seducing the (insane) (bisexual) pope. how did i get from this little part of norway? well my father left it to me when he was killed in a joust, and then i killed my brother on the way home.

The humble beginnings of my French Prince, who climbed from the cold north of Norway to take over all of France by killing his teenage brother. This screenshot also shows the insane pope.

it turns out, also, that people really want algorithms. they say they want a straight chronological feed, and then ask where is the “suggested content” and how to find people talking about similar things. those are algorithms! people love the tiktok algo!

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Screenshots of posts from Burgess Everett on X: “The Senate's CR deal is out from Sens. Collins and Murray. Funds government through Dec. 11 Bill blocks a new rule that would allow the admin to cancel grants to, for example, blue states Collins says the bill "prevents the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance from taking effect" Murray: "his bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR. The proposed rule would systematically politicize federal funding and allow Trump officials to cancel grants at any time for any reason." “Bill also extends surface transportation programs through Dec. 11 (was set to expire Sept. 30 Also has health care extenders Bottom line is this is going to kick a ton of stuff to Congress's lame duck”

if you're in english language elwynn forest picking fights with people who have like 90% cultural overlap to you on top of a shared language you'll get eaten alive when you finally get to chinese speaking duskwood. i acknowledge this is a terminally brain poisoned analogy

It’s important to understand “age verification” and “kick the kids off social media” laws as a gift to Big Tech. These policies allow surveillance capitalism to chug along full steam ahead and let Silicon Valley giants off the hook. Instead of regulating their biz model, we just put up age gates

L6 PM with low SWE support wanting to tick their directors' counter of GenAI projects despite Maps not having any good targets for deployment and the oversight being so lax at this point that no one asks "what is this even for"

I'm having a hard time understanding what the good-faith use case here was? Like I guess renders for large construction projects, but who would want flat, 20cm+ resolution sat imagery for that purpose?
