Yeah in this metaphor, a lot of software developers are in the awkward spot of buying a lot of snake oil for their constant muscle cramps but needing to clarify that they do not believe it cures cancer

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

The entire tech industry suffering AI psychosis and doing layoffs because they thought Claude would be able to replace their workers in a few months only for Claude to get unusably worse instead is a master class how not to fall for hype.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
