last night i had a dream that my closest DART light rail station was now an underground station with several lines meeting at it and also that Dallas built a carbon copy of the REM

if i replace my 22 year old car when it eventually dies i want to remain a subaru loyalist but i don't need or want the big-ass ev suvs they have right now. but *this* could work for me

Subaru testing an EV wagon mule with 510hp, a long dash-to-axle ratio, and front double wishbones???

i should get into geoguessr

this is truly the best tankie bait ever devised by humanity

there’s a very amusing dynamic in NYC DSA right now where, in response to Zohran’s YIMBY policies, a bunch of right-wing NIMBY nutcases are joining DSA to try and take over the organization.

They should make a database of everyone who gets mad at a post like this and permanently strip them of their driver’s license

hypothesis: the american obsession with making transit stops unique and distinct and full of “character“ is downstream of the abysmally long headways where someone might be sitting at the stop for 20 or 30 minutes

Having spent a lot of time this last week going on about the major Left anti-imperial blind spot - Russian imperialism - let's balance the scales with some Liberal self-reflection. The EU & Anglophone wealthy countries quickly sanctioned Russia but have been foot dragging about Israel for decades

Consistently sanctioning occupied territory is necessary for enforcing international law

In the latest of many diplomatic splits between Western Europe and the United States, the Labor-led government of the United Kingdom announced sanctions on the goods and (more importantly) services pr...

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

I don't want to hear any whining about fixing certs from the information security types today. you chose to join the techno-priest caste, now shut up and perform the rites of exorcism

I’m regularly flummoxed by people assuming I will be interested in or appreciative of their copy–pasting LLM output prompted with the topic in reply to me. If I was interested in that, I would just do it myself. What value could you possibly imagine you are contributing

"directly" is important here. using a thoughtfully designed thing that someone else has coded with an LLM can be fine! there's a bunch of those at fangraphs but I do not want to hear what the LLM has to say. The "Tilly Norwood" responses in that interview were physically difficult to read.

I think it’s time to post The Flag again

what it feels like to watch the nhl

This is literally the one area where I’m turning into more of a cranky libertarian. It should not matter at all where you are born from a legal perspective, and yet we’re getting in ordinary people’s faces with more and more nanny state bullshit for the high crime of not being born here.

Albertans say they want Alberta to have more control over immigration, introduce laws limiting access to programs, start charging immigrants fees for services, and require proof of citizenship to vote (already required, but we'll now add some undefined new loophole to prove you're a Canadian?)

DART Board Chair Randall Bryant was questioned about incoming CEO Nat Ford today, saying, "We have made our decision based on what we knew at the time and what we know now. [...] We have affirmed Nat Ford as our CEO, and we continue to do that." Ford starts at DART next Monday.

me: "claude, this query's hitting the timeout limit on our snowflake warehouse. find out why and fix it" claude: "well, we can fix this by simply changing the timeout limit to an arbitrarily large number" 🤦‍♂️

Abdul El-Sayed: “My name is not the reason you can’t afford your gas or groceries or to go see a doctor. Their war in Iran is the reason why. Their insane tariffs on Canada is the reason why. If you’re picking a fight with Canada, you’re the asshole.” #cdnpoli

This is a story about the Democratic Party captured by its consultants, and about what happens when the pro-democracy press is asked to say so.

it's very revealing how Slotkin can say "we need to prosecute all criminals in government so that people think twice about using the government for crimes" and the entire Republican party erupts in hysterics biggest hit dogs hollering moment in a while

closest early vote center to me is conveniently the right distance away that i can get my usual morning 5k run in by going there and back tomorrow morning
