Is there a name for the combination of dripping anger, condescension, and snideness in someone's voice that makes you sure his denial of abuse is actually a confession thereof.

In a press release, "The software we built but don't really understand escaped our sloppy testing environment and caused a bunch of damage" used to be immediately followed by "So we have fired the people responsible" until AI companies came along.
well, I have at this point established as many arcane settings and workflows in Claude as I did in my code editor. perhaps job security not under as much threat as originally believed. :P
Thank you so much to Marisa for this amazing reporting. Hopefully none of us will ever have to hear from Daniel Moraff ever again.

Americans on the moderate and conservative spectrum rank Barack Obama and Kamala Harris as MORE socialist than Elizabeth Warren (way to the left of both) and way more than Biden (governed economically left of Obama) Proving my theory that socialist to the right is just a code word for Black.
Which politicians Americans say are socialists
Bernie Sanders is the politician Americans are most likely to identify as a socialist (55% do), followed closely by Zohran Mamdani at 51% and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 45%

Sunkara endorses AOC while getting her completely wrong. He views Bernie as the Jacobin platonic ideal, which AOC has now sufficiently emulated. But AOC's actual strength is she can appeal to a multi-racial working class that is majority women, as opposed to Bernie's ceiling beyond white men.

15 minutes before Trump's bullshit speech. I'm NOT watching. 100:1 odds on the narrative: This is going to be an anti-"communist" Joe McCarthy/Red Dawn remix for the 21st century staring China, the DSA, and BLM w/ special guests all of the trans people.
so I guess we've reached the official "shut up and obey or we'll kill you" stage of fascism.

if I had a single wish from the Claude people it would be please teach your tool how to organize information better... Claude can generate information faster than any human I know and yet it seem unable to filter for the important stuff. like seriously claude needs an editor, a good one.
just a wild idea: what if instead of crapping out the latest comedy turd from Louis CK, Tony Hinchcliffe and Dave Chapelle, you went back to making decent television?

well anyway can we move on to supporting Troy Jackson to be the nominee in Maine now?
Everyone on this website is just pissed it didn't happen earlier, but if Platner drops out an a new candidate is chosen, that's twice Dems forced candidates with credible SA allegations against them to drop in 2026, from different parts of the party, and hopefully that's the baseline moving forward.
Yea Platner must drop out. Now. Glad that so far the Bernie left seems to be on the same page now.

Other things equally likely to prevent your female student athlete from getting an athletic scholarship: 1. Winning the lottery 2. Getting hit by asteroid 3. Picking enough 4 leaf clovers to develop luck of the Irish resulting in direct recruitment to the WNBA without ever attending college.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Gluesenkamp Perez: "At town halls, what I saw was the people who were the most upset had spent the last 12 years driving their girls to sports practice & they view their best shot of their student going to college as an athletic scholarship.

My issue with Platner that makes me contemplate checking out on the most important senate race of 2026 is he's lying about knowing the tattoo had nazi origins. May not have known when he go it, but at some point he knew. Left and right wing exes says so. That's a current lie, not a checkered past.
I kinda love that Graham Platner's loudest detractor in congress is John Fetterman, the guy everyone's afraid Platner will turn into.
All I can think is in 10 years they went from “Beyoncé promotes us for free” to this.

If you have investments (if you've ever contributed to a 401k you do), it's a good time to get them out of NASDAQ based mutual funds, which blatantly changed its rules to let SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic on early, forcing your fund to buy them. S&P 500 appears to be ok for now.
people who haven't followed the last 3 rounds of LA elections, please, wait, the backhalf of the vote count often shifts the numbers significantly, using towards more left wing outcomes.
