They were cool with the racism, sexism, bigotry, corruption, dismantling of social services and common decency, burning every ally, shooting American citizens in the face in the street, the insurrection, Trump being besties with Epstein etc etc. But once the price of gas got too high it was over.

Staggering levels of repudiation, rejection, and decay.

Do your jets and tanks keep getting blown up? Do you need decoys to keep your military assets from being destroyed by the Americans? Well, come to Sheena air where we have every major weapons system as an inflatable, including infantry. Optional packages include heating elements to show up on IR.

Managing Exchange Distribution Lists with Entra ID Governance shouldn't mean manual helpdesk tickets. I built a 100% declarative, zero-secrets bridge using the new Microsoft Graph Bicep extension. agderinthe.cloud/202... #EntraID #Entra #MicrosoftSecurity #AzureBicep #IdentityGovernance

Governing Exchange Distribution Lists with Entra ID (The No-Secrets Way)

Distribution Lists are one of those IT tools that have been around forever, and honestly, there is a good reason for that. They are simple, familiar, and they do exactly what you want them to do: y…

These are the AI risks we should be worried about and legislating against not freaking out over whether some poorly sandboxed security test leads to Skynet.

Disney+ has altered its user agreement to clarify that ads will be allowed on all subscription tiers. https://bit.ly/4hhOjBo

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

Adam Bonin@adambonin.bsky.social · 3d ago

Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

This is not a happy thread. The purpose of a system is what it does.

I first wrote about dicamba back in 2017 when most of the coverage was limited to farming publications. And there's something that I think is missed in the Guardian piece that I think it's important to note about why Bayer is doing this.

Still patiently waiting to be "left behind" by AI rather than it chasing me across every damn space like a slasher in a low budget flick.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

How do you know if you have the website of a real contractor or some corporation that is trying to make it look that they are a local contractor in your area? Photos of recent jobs that are well lit? Corporation Do they reply to emails? Corporation Website updated this decade? Corporation

ProPublica’s analysis of CDC data found that the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies has nearly doubled. The spike alarmed many experts. One said it should “be a never event.”

Although in this case maybe the guy who believes that his wife’s phone understands her as well as he does should absolutely not be surprised if she says to him “I want a divorce.”

And also: the fact that you can use a statistical lookup table to predict what words someone is going to say doesn't mean you *understand* them, a fact that you will learn the minute that person says something *surprising*, like "I want a divorce."

It looks like the EU is seriously preparing for an attack by Russia. A lot of senior defense officials came out of briefings spooked. Since then, various governments including the Swiss! have issued defiant statements.

So this happened yesterday. For some unknown reason (I attribute it to some kind of clerical error), I was awarded "Developer of the Year" at the Developers Day gala here in Stockholm. It was a super fun evening.

80% of AI news at this point consists of a company announcing “we wrote a computer virus” then there’s something about the apocalypse or regulation, then the next news story is like “we wrote another computer virus.”

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

Unlike Macklemore, these support acts don’t have big followings and they are giving up their chance to perform to stadiums to push back against censorship, not of themselves but of a fellow artist. Respect.
