Airbus A320s are all grounded due to an issue where a plane suddenly descended from 35,000 to 10,000 feet due to a computer error caused by solar radiation memory corruption. The company thinks they can fix it with a software update.

*I learned Klingon as a kid in enough time to be UPSET when Marc Okrand just decided that Klingon would have a word for "to be" because General Chang needed to quote Shakespeare in The Undiscovered Country. Just straight up fucked up the language.

my best understanding at this point is that the primary problem with the subculture is that they correctly identify the most interesting and important topics and then turn them into fanfiction subcultures primarily populated by unemployed hyperlexics

Ok this is an epic hack. GM offered rewards points that could, among other things, be put toward your car loan. They also offered free points for filling out surveys and such. By creating a lot of fake accounts and filling out a whole lot of surveys, people could pay off their entire car loans.
For a brief window that's now closed, some extremely online and resourceful people figured out how to exploit GM's rewards program to rack up enough free points to make serious dents in their car loans. We're talking about folks consolidating points from friends and family to pay off entire vehicles. One viral report claims someone wiped out a $59,370 Escalade V loan using points they never paid for.

Bluesky, please break my WIP 100% from-scratch Rust wasm markdown editor and then tell me how you broke it. It has basic IME support now, and CRDT groundwork via Loro for later collab features.

Known bugs include RTL text completely messing up the cursor. Unknown bugs...
## Field-testing Jacquard's features Another driver behind this was a desire to field-test a number of the unique features of the atproto library I built for Weaver, [Jacquard](https://tangled.org/@nonbinary.computer/jacquard). I've written more about one aspect of its design philosophy and architecture [here](https://alpha.weaver.sh/did:plc:yfvwmnlztr4dwkb7hwz55r2g/Jacquard/Jacquard%20Magic) but since that post I've added a couple pretty powerful features and I needed to give them a shakedown run. One was runtime lexicon resolution and schema validation. The other was the new tools for working with generic atproto data without strong types, like the path query syntax and functions. **test**﷽ **هَمْزَة الوَصْل**

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.
