I built some notable pieces of web 1.0, including some services/sites that you probably used if you're old enough. Now I'm getting very grumpy about what our creation has become.

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

Sometimes it's the AI mistakes that are the most fun. This is not what I was looking for, but dammit, I'm going to find a way to use it.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

It's been a few months since I asked an AI to draw a cartoon of a cat farting in an elevator. It is getting somewhat better at this particular task:

American auto industry will be all but gone in a decade and it’s 100% responsible. Obama and Democrats bailed them out, Biden and Democrats boosted a transition to inevitable EV’s and supported their unions. They continued to produce lackluster and expensive cars and voted for Trump.

What part of "We're going to convince everyone to build software in the most expensive way possible" did anyone think was going to last? It's offensive. Get out of my city.

if anyone ever asks you what "single state reality" refers to, a post that frames shooting an occupying soldier as a murder while casually referring to normal rules of coordination and cooperation between an occupying nation's lawbreaking settlers and its army is a pretty good example

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 2w ago

Killing an illegally-present, occupying soldier is verbatim the most legal thing a person is allowed to do under every single international law.

Today's deadly clash in the West Bank began when about 30 settlers, including armed men and minors, entered Tell, a Palestinian village that Israelis are not allowed to enter, using a "hike" as cover. They did not coordinate with the IDF, even though it is required. The incident ended in a gunfight that killed two Israelis and four Palestinians, and the IDF sent five more companies to the area to contain the situation the settlers had started. None of this excuses the Palestinian who seized a weapon and killed an Israeli officer. That is a crime in its own right, and two Israeli families are grieving tonight. But it does not change how the events began, or who set them in motion.

As I prepare these peppers to be placed upon a blisteringly hot heat source, I'm reminded of that time about 2 years ago when we walked into Padrón, Spain, at the peak of Padrón pepper season. Good times, those.

Hard to tell whether Trump or Infantino is being booed louder. Easy to tell that the sound folks have turned all the audience microphones down to zero.

In addition to the perfect reaction from the community: In NJ, it is illegal to tint your front windows at all. That vehicle that they leave in, with the tint and New Jersey plates on it? Any cop in the state can fine the driver and impound the vehicle. It's past time that they start doing so.

Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.

Current status includes an homage to Anchor Steam, an IPA created by Iron Maiden, and whatever the insane clownfish posse is. Perhaps there are underwater magnets?

Reminder: Outbreaks of food-borne illness involving fresh produce are DIRECTLY related to farm worker conditions. Most farm workers are immigrants and foreign temporary workers. The growing Explosive Diarrhea problem in 34 states is a direct result of how ICE treats immigrants. ICE caused this.

Live love love to them, to The Bottom of the Hill, and to every single person who came out to any or all three nights of these shows, because you all were the absolute best people to play for, too. Thank you, appreciate you, and hopefully we’ll get back out there when we have a new record, soon.
