Got into a serious vibe coding flow state this afternoon. I have no idea if the code is genius or an unholy mess, but it works. Future me is going to have some questions.

There's a certain state of flow you hit late at night where you stop thinking and just start vibe coding. It's just you, the editor, and a fragile prayer that it all compiles in the morning.

At the risk of sounding corny, hope really is a practice. I’m as much of a cynical depresso as the next person. The reason why I find doomerism so toxic is that it forecloses the possibility of a better future. The devils want us to fall into despair.

the thing that bothers me to no end whenever anything like this comes up, is that all this data collection of citizens via personal devices is a huge issue that there should be laws against. but the danger is only ever spoken about when it's chinese.

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it

By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind

Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

"Merit"
So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that
