Looking for work! If anyone needs a senior software engineer or a CTO, please reach out; my DMs are open. I've been running my own company and doing short-term contracts for the last 5 yrs, but now I'm ready to transition to something a bit more stable. Public benefit work preferred, not required.

To all the tech companies who are scared of losing all your programmers when GTA6 releases: Hire me! I'm smart enough to wait for 6 months of patches before I bother playing it, so I'll be ready to show up to work the entire launch week!

Wait... if a pope declares them "ensouled" then do you really think God will look kindly on you enslaving them to beg for your redemption?

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Florida Republicans are worried...!

It's honestly shocking that it gets no attention that Deaton is a confessed rapist. wmasspi.com/2026/10/op-e...

Not sure I understand why EA is shutting down Bioware instead of just letting them spin off into an independent studio again. Wouldn't it show as the same loss on EA's balance sheets and give the studio a breath of fresh air from being under corporate overlords?

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

Whaaaaaatttt?????

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Congrats once again to all the politicians, journalists, artists, celebrities, and brands who STILL prop up this man’s right-wing propaganda platform every day by using it as an official communication channel.

web developer: oh hey you guys are back early infra: four's haunted web developer: what? infra: *loading a pistol and getting back on the computer* four's haunted

People demanding Zuck be hauled before Congress to explain why No Kings insta was suspended... how would you feel if MAGA GOP hauled MSNow execs to explain why they covered Trump the way they do? Both are editorial choices protected by the First Amendment. If this annoys you...

*If* he does this, it's to set his companies up as being "too big to fail" so that, when investors finally realize how badly they've been scammed, Elon can get government bailouts to pay them back.

It's a key part of conservative ideology: "I have no obligations to you and I can treat you however I like, but you are required to love me."

Don't forget to attend your local No Kings protest tomorrow! www.nokings.org#map

Corpospeak: "This change is designed to give you more flexibility in how you pay for your services." Translation: "This change makes it easier for us to gouge our customers."

Do we have any dead-eyed blonde liberals who might be up for infiltrating the highest office of the land? Just saying, one woman's sacrifice could end a lot of suffering.

What's with the recent spate of straight cis middle-aged white guys saying that Twitter under Elon Musk isn't actually that bad? Oh, wait, my question answered itself.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Obviously this is terrible. But it also sets a pretty clear precedent for how Democrats should deal with Elon Musk when they take power, right?

The "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and a brutal war on a European democratic US partner. Yes, the whole party. If they didn't, they would impeach and remove the president who is blatantly breaking US law to help fund Russia's war effort.

Maybe they shouldn't have spent the last decade hollowing out their donor base with spam and scam tactics.

It is a very easy task. He sounds like he understands that they have to be punished. End of.

Quick question... has Russia actually confirmed this deal?

We went from sanctioning Russian oil to buying it in three weeks. Instead of ending his disastrous war in Iran, Trump is now funding Russia's war in Ukraine. We used to hold dictators and autocrats accountable. Now our president negotiated a deal to fund Putin's unjust war.

An amazingly stark example of how the US economy has broken: Zaslav clears nearly a *billion* dollars amid a CEO tenure where he made basically anything he touched worse, harmed multiple prestigious brands, led huge layoffs—but delivered a corrupt merger for shareholders. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

If we needed more evidence:

Because we don't have a sordid enough history in this country with public hangings 🤦‍♂️ Just more death throes of a dying empire...

The American white collar workforce started working from home three days a week for like six months a year into COVID and executives so thoroughly lost their minds over this that they installed Trump II. If anything, AI will create the 7-day workweek.

It's incredible how many BlueSky users who complain about the power of oligarchs are currently exposing the fact that they have Amazon accounts, actively contributing to the entrenchment of those same oligarchs' power. Amazon really got y'all to show your asses with that customer trends page.

Yes, because what we need most now is *less* inspection of our food supply 🤦‍♂️

It's a good thing they only made one season of Westworld, otherwise it would be a clear contender for this.

Imagine how much better the world would be and how many problems we could solve if people were just capable of admitting when they were wrong instead of doubling down...

SpaceX: Using 18 disposable rockets like Apollo did isn't economical, so we'll make a reusable rocket instead. Also SpaceX: It's totally fine if we accidentally blow up 30 rockets on our way to making a reusable one.

It's incredible how quickly I lose respect for those who use Trump aphorisms. Oh, you're saying "thank you for your attention to this matter" ironically? Well, I'm unironically downgrading my opinion of you and unfollowing you. Stop quoting the tyrant.

The craziest part is that... if it were true, wouldn't we have to stop using it like a tool and start treating it like a person? This runs counter to Anthropic's use case interests.

I don't even live in Texas, but if I did, I would refuse to vote for Talarico based entirely on the amount of spam his campaign sends me.

I pride myself on being pretty good at reading through legalese, but trying to read a modern privately-offered healthcare plan is like trying to decipher ancient Egyptian.

The use of the word "grok" in everyday language used to be a sign that someone was intelligent and well-read. Now it's associated with jackasses and con men. This really pisses me off.

If someone says "stupid-looking douche car", which make/model of vehicle are they talking about? Do you even have to look to check, or do you just know?

I wish more employers advertised when they feel this way. It's a great red flag to stay away if you don't want to be micromanaged by a power-tripping supervisor.

I just had an insane multi-hour dream where I realized it was a dream only to wake up in another dream where I argued with someone about whether my dream was a dream. When I finally woke up to real life, I found out I had been asleep less than an hour. Wait, is this still a dream?
