Zuckerberg's own employees confirm that he directed an intentional effort to throw the Brazilian election in favor of Flávio Bolsonaro, apparently because he understood this is what Trump wanted. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
The tour-exclusive covers vinyl by @cheekface.bsky.social is amazing. I'm a huge fan of cover songs in general, and Cheekface kills every single one on here. The sound quality on this is excellent, too.
They put on a killer show too. All around awesome night.
If one were developing a board game, how difficult would it be to get licensing rights not only to the book Godel, Escher, Bach but also to MC Escher's artwork?
The internet suggests it would be insanely difficult. But man, I like this idea I have.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."
trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
The secret to early retirement; dine out rarely, fly economy and be a Google employee making $390,000/year married to a fellow Google employee 17 years older than you who likely makes twice as much as you.
TMBG at Globe Iron was great
I've seen TMBG close to 20 times now. Theyre always great. Never been to a bad performance
This was my first time at Globe Iron and aside from super high beer prices (standard at venues these days) I enjoyed it. Especially since it is literally 4 mins from my apartment
the good thing about being MAGA is it requires no spine. Just do whatever trump says, and it doesnt matter if it's directly contradictory to what you were saying yesterday. MAGA doesnt care.
I would love to just fast forward 3 years to when AI is relegated to random tech assistant like it should be, instead of THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING like crypto was promised to be.
I miss the days when silicon valley just did things like "reinvent buses"
I got laid off, my favorite brewery thats just down the street is closing, and Raising Canes gave me Diet Coke instead of Coke Zero.
November 2025 can go fuck itself.
The AIpocolypse finally came for me
Google's AI search summary has slashed the number of actual web sites visited in search results by up to 70%. This means the same drop in ad revenue
And so I'll be out of a job by the end of January
Any Cleveland/remote Rails or React jobs around? Let me know!

Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."
James Gunn said he isnt doing a Peacemaker season 3, and ended season 2 on a cliffhanger.
The amount of people furious at this who cant connect any dots, and think this means Peacemaker, DC's most successful non-Bat/Super man character, is now just never going to have a resolution is hilarious.
11 years ago today I watched the Saints beat the Bucs in OT from a Canadian Sports bar on the bank of the Seine River in Paris with two Japanese Saints fans who didnt speak english.
1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs.
2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar.
3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."
Michael Shannon's REM cover band is already one of my favorite things, and now @tedleo.bsky.social is playing bass for them in the UK
And I'm stuck here in Cleveland
I've tried so many ADHD "tricks" to try to remember things, and they all fizzle out pretty quickly
The only thing thats remotely worked is Apple Notes, bc theyre in iCloud. I can go back years and find a note that just says "ableton" and remember "Oh yeah, I wanted to learn that at one point"
I was next to someone this morning sharing about the great work they’ve been doing with pink haven… you don’t say! If you want to support trans liberation, here’s one way #nn25www.uuworld.org/articles/rel...
We dont need to over-correct from 2024
There was global anti-incumbent reaction to the global inflation caused by lingering pandemic effects
Throw in media fuckery solely focusing on Biden's age and the price of eggs, and this was not going to be a good year even if the Dems ran a full primary
We should fight back and be pro-immigrant
We should fight back and be pro-LGBT
We should fight back and be pro-government aid/science/research/etc
People will be open to the message after seeing how shitty Trump has made things. We dont need to drop our core beliefs to win "moderates"
Their aesthetics help to reinforce a system of gender where everyone fits in a pink box or a blue box, where the highest status people in the pink box are the pinkest and the highest status people in the blue box are the bluest, and where the whole pink box is lower status than the blue.
Despite receiving $10.2 million in federal aid from the Biden administration that could have funded a flood warning system, Kerr County officials diverted most of the money to law enforcement projects.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend is in the "new media" seat for today's briefing and asks Leavitt about "the hurricane" in Texas (it was not a hurricane)
