Real art isn't meant to coddle you. It's also not meant to challenge your preconceptions or evoke an emotional response. It's meant to be annoying

"people only think developers are corrupt because of progressives placing constraints on them" god, smug bluesky liberalism is incredible. Yeah the free market *never* produces corruption you're so right

Imagine running an ad so flagrantly misogynistic that the alumni of an all-boys Catholic high school in Cincinnati are like "now hang on a minute dude"

Kirsten Bladh@kerstanley.bsky.social

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

Everyone thought Lula was cooked, hopeless. Then he bought a phone and started posting and now he's gonna get a 4th term. The lesson is to never stop posting.

the thing to keep in mind is that big/general subreddits are mostly for clueless people. Look at any r/technology thread & its upvotes and it's immediately obvious they have no fucking idea what's going on. It's gotta be way more niche than r/opensource to be useful

does Emily Bender think the borrow checker is a text classifier

I genuinely do not think I am being uncharitable here, we let the amish get on with their lives in peace while not letting them set the pace for the rest of us, maybe that's the play here too

why should anyone care about a pardon issued by a person who's constitutionally ineligible to be president lol

"why would I not throw the ball there? Sure there's three separate dudes converging on the spot, but I've got a whole 2 inch window I can put the ball into where it'll be entirely safe!"

Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams are depraved individuals (laudatory)

In a traditional military this would produce Wikipedia page sections with headings like "execution for cowardice", but in Pete Hegseth's modern roidbro DEI military I assume it'll produce commendations instead

These bits are astonishing (or maybe not, since the US has forever thought of its soldiers as cannon fodder):

watching Black Panther 2 in a Boston-area theater was hilarious – you could feel the crowd getting rowdier and rowdier during the city-warping car chase, then a whale jumps out of the Charles River (upstream of the dam) and everyone just lost it

ok so you know how, if you know a city's actual geography, car chase scenes drive you insane because shots jump all over the city? Here's a dumb visual gag someone should do: Each shot jumps to a different city, but *on the same street*, eg Broadway in SF to Broadway in NYC

This is a very easy case of "you're both just objectively wrong", because a) no, the George Floyd protests were not primarily people doing pitched battles with cops in the streets, but also b) yes actually they did happen what are you fucking talking about

the Internet Archive thing is an example of the fascinating trend recently where people consuming products they’re not paying for seem to believe they also have the right to dictate how much human labor is spent producing them.

It's bonkers to me that people are throwing a tantrum about LLMs being used to hack together backports of the patches. the patches were widereaching enough that I'd seen phrases like "backporting isn't viable" thrown around and we know exploitation was happening in the wild

... "backporting a critical patch to an unmaintained-but-core-piece-of-infrastructure before serious damage is done" is not one of them.

apparently hot take: it is far more important for the internet archive, government services, and other critical pieces of public infrastructure & the commons to continue to function than people to feel 100% morally pure in their consumption. there's certainly a space for moral stances, but...
