I love trying to read an article longer than 250 words on a browser on my phone the constant reloading adds a lovely frisson of danger to the reading experience also it loses my place every time it reloads which is both interactive and disorienting best of all is when the ad tech kills the page dead

Also, I don't think how purposefully manipulative/confusing those other 9 questions were can really be conveyed unless you were handed those 10 ballots and sent to the ballot box. I was worried the whole time I would accidentally check the "more racism please" box and I knew to vote no down the line

They realized they needed to make the main question straightforward and it was going to lose, so the backstop is "well 'remain in Canada' won, but people have a lot of concerns about borders and the only way to strengthen our borders is to separate"
Wait, how did the Alberta referendum become ten questions?
Full disclosure, I have decided to allow AI assisted code contributions in `pyee` if the use of LLMs is documented in PRs, commits and the changelog. I have mixed feelings, but felt I had to accept reality. www.tt.site/t/ZPLSvoF97/

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”
It's absolutely bonkers to me that this image led directly to this tweet.

I am going to find whatever consultants are making these Alaska senate race ads and peel their skin in tiny little strips with fucking vice grips. Both parties. No mercy.

This is the dodgiest and most-desperate thing I’ve seen in the bubble so far. Amazon selling their chips to a group of investors and leasing them back - an off balance sheet arrangement done in plain sight. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. And they’ll probably buy more!
