dfw | just trying to be nicer | not dad but dad shaped get your medal at @altheroes.com! or don't, i'm not your boss

lots of journalistic ink being spilled lately in panic over recent DSA successes i do think parts of their platform are extreme but we've badly needed more representation from the far left in our politics (see: overton window) and they're fitting the bill nicely

newly obsessed with this online Quebec radio station because of the language gap what I hear: fuh j'soir fuh j'fuh alouee fuh LINKIN PARK ah oui oui o j'frun de c'est mon fuh fuh de QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE ha ha ha oui!! (Nirvana plays)

imagine if we built a consumption economy and then gradually removed all effective support options for consumers until they have no recourse the random rage that would come out of nowhere would be so chaotic and hilarious

i still think most ai companies are toast long term but i also see how rapid model innovation is closing the revenue gap no one will pay more for the same thing but they will pay more for the next better thing and when the next better thing comes along a few times a year...

everyone must be guaranteed the right to express their stupid ignorant opinions without state interference or arrest because one day the state may decide *your* correct opinions are stupid and ignorant the way to beat actual ignorance is with intelligence, not censorship

in addition to software dev i am now also available for consultation on how to post on bsky like you're not in your 40s+ after this intensive 6 week boot camp you are guaranteed to be fully rizzed and #abandoneddraftssaturday

what a week - Puerto Rico: fun, hot - American Airlines: do better - tech interviews: don't cheat when you're specifically asked not to - racist old ladies: do better - the weekend: a+

deleted my earlier angry post to reframe slightly more positively: we can not and must not suffer the blatantly open racists and bigots around us in silence - it's our obligation to speak up and shame them wherever they feel safe enough to be public about it

Xennials/Millenials are doomed when the kids figure out that we can be sniped with a simple "yyyyyyit's been"
