This is actually a great idea for multiple reasons. AWS has become too important to the structure of the web itself to persist as a private entity.
Me about to piss off a bunch of capitalists: If Bezos doesn’t want to pay his fair share in corporate taxes, I don’t see why we shouldn’t nationalise Amazon and make it a subsidiary of the post office.

This is what I do.
Except when I don’t do it and have to go back and forth between where I realized I needed the thing and the room where I think the thing is.

oh I have add life hack for this exact scenario:
you just need to repeat the thing you're looking for as you move from room to room. As soon as you leave a room you forget what you were looking for. So just walk through your house saying "keys keys keys keys keys keys"

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably the first time in American history a sitting governor has used that particular -- and particularly apt -- phrase in a public speech
If I didn't live in California I'd move to Illinois.

I am being asked to tell my department which pieces of lab equipment should be supported with backup power because they expect rolling blackouts and brownouts in 2026 due to increased energy demands from AI. In case you're wondering how my day is going.
