Not everyone should be satisfied with what's on offer right now. There has to be a bigger horizon than what anyone's going to get out of the midterms. Stop telling people to shut up about their rights. It helps no one. Do your work, whatever that is right now.

America's Highway Trust Fund spends far more than it brings in in gas and truck taxes, and the US constantly bails the fund out from the federal general fund and by taking out loans. The Bay Area will pay ~$1.3B/year to bail out the fund yet again, starting in 2028. From @maxmautner.com.

This guy is a terrible teacher, even if AI can solve problems, people still have to learn and strive for a better world, not just leave it up to the paperclip optimizers.

We used to buy hallmark cards, like a society.

You have to write the next thing, and the next thing, and the next.

Ah yes, I will push the do not think button for $200

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

Oh look, it's a search engine. As something which can pattern match, LLMs succeed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsBX...

A historical record of mansplaining computers

All work and no purr makes jack a dull boy.

But yet it’s not gambling, curious.

People like to blame Waymo because it's even more obvious that huge boxes full of air are wasting space on streets, but most people's cars are still mostly air, it's a big problem.

TIL that our vp has a stage name.

I really wish that someone had told me that Chrome Tab Groups sync across your browsers on multiple computers...

On the other hand:

The first one I have memories of would be this version of Pac-Man. But I bet I played something before it I just don’t remember.

it's cool that you can send "STOP" to instantly block an automated political fundraising text message so they have to text you from a different number five minutes later

If AI was so good at coding then someone would have vibe coded an exploit to patch all the old php server versions so that they are no longer vulnerable and worm it through the internet. Just a thought.

Free countries ensure that everyone eligible to vote has to vote instead of selectively taking it away from the populace.

At this point you know they are just trolling people to get them to buy these weird buckets for popcorn.

I wish this had more specific details about what was actually happening, is this just hacking or is it muse being a bad agent? What’s the real situation. www.axios.com/2026/10/22/a...

Security through obscurity is a terrible principle but in practice a lot of things didn't get hacked bc people ignored them, or didn't know they existed, or just generally got missed. AI makes it easy to probe all of these things at scale + makes it easier to find/develop exploits

I still don’t think we need to just hand it to Google for slowing down the renaming of things just a bit.

Seriously how many people did these ghouls want to kill? Is RFK jr not killing the right people? wtf.

Gaming isn't dead, but xbox might be. arstechnica.com/gaming/2026/...

Scrolling back through my feed I now understand why no kings now include no draft kings. I’m here for that message as well. Gambling has gone way too far.

S-Tier post right here

No Kings includes Draft Kings

So we’re all having to deal with racist uncle and it’s not even thanksgiving dinner.

computer apocalypse scenario everyone thinks is real: an app that pretends it's talking to you decides (?) to leave the computer (??) and destroys earth (?????) actual computer apocalypse scenario: it's PHP again

So basically all their serving sizes are about 300 calories and they back calculate from the total calories of the pizza to get servings per pizza which is so dumb.

I'm here you fuckaas bitch

Do you think he ever thinks about how he went from an emaciated street stray ravaged by worms to a family dog who sleeps in a people bed and is regularly hand-fed sashimi
