CA’s $20 fast food minimum wage raised fast food prices by only 3%. The reason minimum wage increases keep not reducing employment and barely increasing prices is monopsony power. www.nber.org/papers/w34990

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

when i saw the DMV had issued me this random number plate i drove right back to the DMV and said "hey i'm so sorry but i need you to swap this for a different number" because - and this is just me - it was important to me that no one around me assume i might be nazi, even a little, even for a second

This is just the plastic straw hysteria all over again, and it's ableism at its finest: Blame disabled people instead of the corporations that are actually wrecking our environment, that way to poor widdle CEOs won't have to deal with people telling them to fucking STOP KILLING THE PLANET.

This whole section really.

Legit question - how do i kill the 30 - 50 ebike ninjas battery ramming my garage doors and hiding in the sand traps

Why did The Grand Tour end? Richard Hammond: We're old Jeremy Clarkson: Because the security guarantees and stability of Pax Americana did

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

this really would happen in CITY

Leaving aside the fact that this sounds incredibly shitty, this sounds like it’s a legal nightmare waiting to happen…

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

Waiter, more AI slop.

Respectfully: fuck off with this shit. It's a 1980s family adventure film about kids discovering fucking pirate treasure while dodging a group of murderous criminals. Not everything has to make perfect logical sense.

Love seeing my privacy and security being sacrificed at the altar of the latest version of The Algorithm

If you're in college and can't get access to a paper/book because it's either paywalled or out of print, try finding the author's website or faculty page and emailing them. You will be surprised at how quickly they respond and how many of them will be willing to just email you an electronic copy

it's jolting how little AI skepticism has reached the general public. i've had many acquaintances ask whether i use AI for research and seem shocked when i tell them it's completely useless for that purpose. my wife recently told her colleagues about hallucinations and it was news to all of them.

it is stories like this that remind us that AI optimists are not just delusional — they are dangerous. This is functionally no different than putting a puppet on the stand and making it say everything you want the deceased to say, *except that the judge thinks it is real*

i'm constantly thinking about how one person's decision to make the pole position countdown sound effect 3 short beeps and 1 one long beep was so singularly influential that not only is it simply a given to add it into basically every racing game by default but people expect it in real races too

Maybe I am missing something, but how is a universal 10% tariff on all imports not just effectively considered a tax? I've seen a lot of things in the US, good and bad, overturned because they are "effectively a tax" before...

@aelkus.bsky.social once told me they could port Doom to anything and it looks like he’s right because they’re now running Doom on the stock market.

Every day I wake up to the news

No they're not. They know exactly what they're voting for: The continued dismantling of our public health system. That's what they want. You know this. Why do we have to do this playacting goldfish brain shit every time.

DOGE is a bigger threat to US federal government information systems than China. If you find this statement controversial, I'm going to question your IT and cybersecurity credentials.

#Washington folks: HB 1584 is an attempt to take away vote by mail in our state, forcing us to only vote in-person on election days. Making it harder for people to vote is voter suppression. Use the link to message state reps and tell them to reject this bill!
