Just saw a thread with the main @bsky.app tech guy where a couple people (him included) were like "it's a skill issue" if you see/have problems with agentic coding. That's like telling someone who doesn't like to use a microwave to make their dinner that it's a skill issue. No, it just kinda sucks.

I really should have done a big short on SpaceX when they went public. That would have been easy money.

"online freakouts are not real life" needs to be a bumper sticker

Micah@rincewind.run · 9h ago

my strong prior about michigan btw is that the vast majority of primary voters were actually happy to vote for either candidate in the general and will consolidate quite easily behind el-sayed just like they are coalescing behind talarico in texas online freakouts are not real life

Now I want to run or play in an Appalachia themed D&D campaign. Like early 1900s style. The drunken monk is a brawling out of work miner. Paladin is a union organizer whose oath is to worker's rights. Druid is flavored/homebrewed for Appalachian cryptids. Cleric is a traveling preacher type.

considering how well things are going in new york, the lesson here is clear: fuck these people

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 23h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Drive by the new, almost complete stadium for Ft Wayne FC. It looks so nice! It is kinda sad to me that they have gotten a beautiful stadium while Indy Eleven continues to languish in that shithole IU Indy stadium.

Centrism For Centrism's Sake Dems and their consultants live for spending millions of dollars only to lose.

Unfathomable

Massively cleaned up our Kickstarter for L.O.R.E. It now feels significantly more official. Professional? Whatever it is, it feels great. I built this game by myself in my off hours and it spawned a studio, a team, and now a funding campaign. Couldn't be happier, friends.

Imagine having to rush a loved one to the hospital but you have to wait for the Spiderman ad to stop.

This sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

Some code I'm writing automated tests for is doing a weird conversion of types somewhere in a stack of microservices. I asked the project lead if he knows where the conversions are happening because I am having trouble finding it in the git link he sent me.

Truthout@truthout.org · 2d ago

The NYT published a missing chapter of the DNC “autopsy,” titled “What Happened in 2024” which offers criticisms of party consultants who are “self-enriching” and out of touch with the concerns of ordinary voters.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Initiated a public records request to my city and its police department because it turns out they have some of those horrible surveillance state Flock cameras. Drafted emails to both. They have 7 days to acknowledge.

I often wonder how many of these people who complain about the COVID shift to e-learning just plain don't want to be around their kids that much. They were upset they couldn't get rid of them for a solid chunk of the week.

There are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?

Because of COURSE Chelsea gets away with it with a slap on the wrist and a fine that will make no difference. No points deductions. Nothing significant. Everton got points deductions for less.

Rob Davies@byrobdavies.bsky.social · 5d ago

Well, the final whistle on Chelsea FC's financial cheating under Abramovich seems to have blown. The Guardian and our reporting partners practically put it on a plate for the FA and Premier League. They blazed it over the bar. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

My 45m one way bus ride to school, there was a sign that said: School 35 When Children Are Present My dumbass brain came up with a song. "When children are preeesent *whisper sing 'schooool'* When children are preeesent *whisper sing 'schooool'*" repeat ad nauseum. Still in my head 40 years later

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · 5d ago

when i was a kid i made up a dumb song about scantron sheets and i still sing it sometime in my head. you sing it like one of those 80s gothic rock songs. SCANTRON! HERE I COME FOR YOU, HERE I COME FOR YOU... i was a weird kid.

It is putting it mildly to describe these people as a death cult.

My bf is a Giants fan and this coming out one fact at a time over several hours last night was fun. “He was already injured and got hurt out drinking…on a scooter…which he crashed…into a truck? …a FIRE ENGINE? …IT RAN OVER HIS FOOT? HE DID THE SAME THING IN COLLEGE??” nypost.com/2026/07/31/s...

Sadly, most elected @democrats.org are cowards who also want that sweet sweet authoritarian a"i" money that Musk represents.

Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · 5d ago

if musk was a democrat, the gop would be hitting the dems in unison about how they were "using pedophile money for their campaign." but we are not seeing the reverse.

Kinda tempted to do this build as my next Big Project, marrying 3D printing with photography. Definitely would be my most challenging build I've ever tried. My dad is big into photography and if it works could be a fun present for him. lucuslanders.com/y-pan

you cant have “good faith concerns” about trans kids in sports if theres a couple dozen nationwide. its not possible. you have been brainwashed to believe its possible but it is not possible. the very nature of the facts make it impossible to have “good faith” concerns about this

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) is set to introduce legislation to create a new federal agency to investigate corruption in response to President Trump’s administration ahead of the midterm elections.

Larry Ellison's next venture will be to clone the Only Horse and build billion dollar stables around the world so that other companies can own the clone horses and rent it back to Larry Ellison and he can in turn sublet the clone horses to a 3rd set of companies. Profit.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · last wk.

TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
