It rocks to tell people their shit rocks. Every single person who has ever been nice about my work has been appreciated for doing so. I take time to say I love stuff and it’s always the right time to remind somebody you value their work! You don’t need to get into detail either. Just say it rocks
I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

Can I let you in on a little secret?
Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.
It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

America’s unions urge Congress to oppose any provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that would ban states from enacting AI safety regulations and guardrails. Leaders should work for working people, not Big Tech. https://bit.ly/44ibCp1

As I mentioned in a blog post on Sunday, November 30, KOSA, SCREEN and all other bills like it do absolutely nothing to protect children.
All these bills are designed to do one thing and one thing only: completely destroy the US Constitution.

Dry briners, the ratio you are looking for is 0.009% Diamond Crystal kosher salt. So a 6kg turkey would be 54g of salt (convert from freedom units to make the math easier)
For Morton's kosher, 0.005%

it's important for everyone to know that if I ever fall off talking to you or interacting with you I almost certainly still like you exactly the same amount that I always have, my brain is just made of potato
hard to maintain friendships with game developers because all these motherfuckers have ADHD and forget you exist when you're out of sight (it's me i'm these guys)

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I've loved them since they came out and it is absolutely my favorite car of any I've driven.
I'm a little late with this, but R.I.P. Tom Matano, father of the Miata (MX-5). My Miata is nearly identical to the one he's standing next to in this picture. I've owned a red NA since 1990 (when they first came out). Tom gave joy to so many people. www.caranddriver.com/news/a680045...

I didn’t read this dissent at the time, but beyond my opposition to the death penalty under any circumstance, full stop, I did not stutter, allowing the state to execute someone by a method, nitrogen hypoxia, that an onlooker described as “drowning but without water” is abhorrent.
Oh my God
