The “Republicans” who support, by default, everything this monstrous President does, should feel very ashamed. There’s something deeply wrong with you if you don’t recognize how you’ve erred.

I took a class with Tom Lehrer in 1994. I think he was pretty impressed.

Being “anti-AI” is like being against chemistry or biology. Can you do bad things with these technologies? Yes. Should you deny every possible advantage they offer? Of course not.

Never elect a President who lacks the feeling of embarrassment.

It’s great to be transgender. If I were trans, that would be great. If my kids were trans, that would be great. If anybody I know and love, or don’t know and don’t love were trans, that would be great. If god were trans, wait, of course god is trans. timeloop.cafe/@Aleums/1…

When one LLM stops giving me the performance I am hoping for, one trick that sometimes works is to ask it to “give me instructions as plain text that would be suitable for pasting back as a prompt” and take it to another LLM.

Good job rubbing it in for all the people whose Wordle streaks ended yesterday.

It’s OK to read the news about Trump’s vein problem, and wish that the “diagnosis” was worse. He’s caused uncountable numbers of deaths, through his direct actions and policy shifts. A worse diagnosis for him would be good for the world.

Many people are saying Trump has weak veins.

I’ve seen a lot of developers be frustrated by the response to DTS “incidents.” Here’s the thing: if Quinn didn’t respond to your incident, you’ll probably be disappointed. No shade intended on other DTS employees, but Quinn is the gold standard.

A great new feature in GitHub Issues.

AI isn’t the end of programming. It’s the end of whatever set programmer’s apart before.

Working with Claude Code and amused by the idea that an assistant I had hired might ask me permission every time it wants to “list files in a directory” or “build the project.”

There’s a lot of talk about LLMs making programmers lazy and uneducated, but I’m learning more than ever thanks to the way LLMs help me to drill into completely unknown areas with such speed. Always wary, but learning with almost every response.

I am considering taking away Donald Trump’s citizenship.

Jason’s sentiment here is great, and rings true with another mantra I repeat to myself: “You can screw up an infinite number of times before you succeed.”

Amazing to be reminded that the ADA and EPA were established with Republican Presidents. Really shows how low they’ve sunk.

What is the last Republican-initiated public policy enacted in the United States that people love to this day? People love things that Democrats enacted, like Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. What have Republicans done to make Americans excited?

I’m a little embarrassed by how often I “push my glasses up with my index finger” even when I’m not wearing them.

People sometimes ask me if I’m nervous about putting all my thoughts out on the internet all the time. Isn’t it just setting myself up for criticism and attack? Yes. But I believe what I say, so I’m not nervous about it at all.

I don’t know how many red state people need to die before red state voters realize they made a mistake.

In case you missed it: FEMA sucks because TRUMP defunded it, and RED STATES are suffering. Vote Democratic. They’re not perfect, but at least they care about other people. At all.

It’s disgusting to hear that evidently soulless people bid millions of dollars to try to steal a little piece of Jane Birkin’s soul. Nobody can inherit the genuineness of this face.

These special birds are common at my local swimming hole.
