if i can't have the world where women are allowed to be anything other than a youthful size 4 i'll at least take the world we're migrating towards now where all male characters have to be jonathan bailey (thin, ripped, pleasant, in no way evokes an alcoholic dad, no wacky jim carrey antics)

He’s redistributing money from the urban cores that they’re terrorizing with ethnic pogroms to pay off his base for their loyalty
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Early in my career, I met a man who did physical retouching of artwork for ad agencies. Brushes, paint, solvents, etc.
Every so often I wonder what happened to him after computers destroyed his career.

the longest thread on Framework’s company forums, with nearly /four times/ as many comments as the runner-up, primarily discusses the company’s decision to donate hardware to and advertise for a poorly developed re-spin of Arch Linux run by a racist transphobe.
why run a business like this?

if i had caused the collapse of a relatively large bank and my kept man had "killed himself" i might do a pr blitz about how i was leaving politics and how my previous contact with the FSB was totally legal and aboveboard, too
Exactly, that 2023 story was part of a series of planted articles that were part of some Thiel PR campaign. See summary & links here. Thiel met with Russian official in 2016 (arranged by Jeffrey Epstein), then had a new story of being approached by the FSB in 2018.

they're hung up on repeat offenders because femicide is often a first offense
it does feel like an intense societal problem that the founder of palantir, the biggest survellience company, thinks like this

it’s going to be a source of continuous joy, beating them again and again in every election for the rest of our lives. nobody else made my hometown their battleground, but we won’t be coerced
Two things that come to mind as I see this
1) Important to remember that Zohran Mamdani's relatively conciliatory approach to the issue of Palestine and his joy-based attitude does not actually stem any of the criticism.
2) It's doubtful that anyone in Democratic leadership comes to his defense

perhaps a little too reductive, but I unironically believe this about Tomokazu Fukushima working as Kojima’s cowriter, and the scripts for Metal Gear Solid 1-3 being way better than the later games

i find it really funny that even straight men feel it, though they don’t always recognize it. they’re disappointed in the quality of pub conversation, they post on instagram like Strong Single Women about men, about being betrayed, wondering where the exceptional people are
my best friend is a single straight woman, and man, the dating pool for someone her age (29-35) is genuinely bleak for this very reason. horrendous stuff.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Like, there are often ways we CAN lean on the compiler (and optimizer) to make things that feel convenient, and are very low cost, in terms of RAM and CPU time.
But like, sometimes that extra byte or three of cost is worth the world in not carrying two extra generic params! Or awkward type-state!

we deserve total collapse. if there really aren’t any serious adults in charge anywhere then we deserve the worst
They're gonna do it, they're actually gonna propose a new Battleship class (personal inference from SECNAV comment)
Golden Fleet would require huge budget increase for Navy, but some hints -- inclusing endorsement from OMB Vought -- suggest maybe they'll request that
