Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

null checks are often more damaging in early development when the assumption is "it should never be null" anyway. In that case allowing it to crash early is preferable, it means the problem comes from elsewhere and isn't being ignored down the pipeline.

im going to push back on this as unfair to cats (no disrespect to the author here): cats actually compromise significantly with you and happily create community with you. they shit and piss in a litter box, they create shared spaces by mixing their scents with yours, they dont demand outdoor time

Human housecats, completely dependent on the systems and structures provided for them but absolutely convinced they’re self reliant apex predators.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Yesterday I wrote about the effort by center-left pundits to police what people are passionate about.

Sincerity is not the problem

As is inevitably the case after an election — and is especially the case after an election with an unexpected result — allies of the losing presidential candidate in 2024 looked for people to blame. O...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Something that got almost universally elided from Woke v1 is that being cruel is viscerally rewarding. It feels really good in a pre-rational sort of way. And, paired with the hedonic treadmill, the natural tendency is for any "safe" outlet for cruelty to erode whatever borders we place around it.
