I just make dial tone work

Let’s be clear: what these bastards are doing to these books isn’t digitizing. Digitizing is about preservation and access to the original material. They’re gutting and destroying to make Soylent Green. Don’t let them get away with pretending to do this for humanitarian reasons.

Every and any vote for Todd Blanche is a vote for grown men fucking underage girls with legal impunity. This is a sentence that contains no hyperbole and that is nonetheless shocking and debilitating to write. That's how depraved this administration is.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

"Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product." Holy cow, Ford bought the AI hype, believing they could go "hey computer, make me a good car" and it would.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

The executives didn't have the expertise to spot the difference between AI slop and the output of people who knew what they were doing. That's why we consistently see that the adoption of AI increases the higher up the org chart you go.

Meta comms guy brings up the historical record. Ok let’s go. I revealed: —FB allowing ad targeting of “Jew-haters” —FB allowing ads to block being shown to Black users —FB promoting Stop the Steal groups prior to J6 —FB guidelines showing “white males” as protected class but not “black children”

After (checks historical record) over a dozen years worth of public criticism from Julia, this kind of gleefully reductive take from her is nothing new. But there is a word for it: projection.

At the airport, ready to head home with important cargo. I still don’t understand why they don’t sell coffee crisp in the US. I bought a bag for snacking and 6 packs of individually wrapped fun sized bars (they sadly do go stale or I’d have bought more 😂)

Be careful folks, today is April Fool's Day, which means that the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive. Don't worry though, tomorrow we will be back to normal, and the internet will be rife with misinformation and posts designed to deceive.

I hate the "How was your experience?" email after eating at a restaurant. I said please and thank you and confirmed the food was good. I paid the bill and tipped well. We don't need to expand our relationship from sandwich and greens to correspondence and homework.

I guess the one “leftist” characteristic is, there are folks on the left who don’t want to use slurs, but they also have a very elaborate metric for whom one is allowed to criticize at any time. So they’ll come to the defense of the slur-users if the slur-users are on the right side of an argument.
