Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.
HHS is trying to force Seattle Children's into doing a Sophie's choice of abandoning trans youth or see kids with cancer or other serious illness have their coverage and care disrupted. That's what this is about.
Hopefully, the courts put a quick stop to this like the subpoenas.

This was entirely about purging a trans instructor from the school and they succeeded. It was aided by a lot of dumb liberals taking it at face value arguing the minutia of grading rubrics while ignoring the obvious bad faith efforts behind this.
A graduate teaching assistant who gave a University of Oklahoma student a failing grade on a psychology essay will no longer be teaching at the university

(11/10) Additional note: Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) have introduced an amendment to strike this section of the bill. The worry is that the Senate will turn it down in order to avoid a drawn-out amendment process. This must not be allowed to happen.

(8/10) NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy gave a press conference yesterday urging lawmakers to strike the provision from the bill, and prominent lawmakers from both parties have voiced opposition to the provision. However, we still don’t know who inserted it, and the bill passed the House unchanged.

(7/10) While the right to waive ADS-B doesn’t mean the right to waive the requirement for a traffic collision avoidance system, TCAS is partially inhibited below 900 feet and fully inhibited below 400 feet, where the Jan. 29 collision occurred. ADS-B is not.

(5/10) The provision doesn’t require that this risk assessment be undertaken by an expert on commercial aviation, nor does the assessment have to involve input from the FAA or commercial operators using the airspace. So it’s completely toothless.

(4/10) They may grant such permission if the mission is “in the national security interests of the United States,” which is meaningless because any mission can be deemed as such. Furthermore, it requires a “commercial aviation compatibility risk assessment,” a term that isn’t defined anywhere.

(2/10) Basically, the current draft of the National Defense Authorization Act making its way through Congress contains a provision to roll back the safety improvements made after the DCA mid-air and make the situation as bad as it was on Jan. 29.

So, if you're someone who follows the bureaucratic side of aviation safety, you probably already know about this, but if you aren't, you might not. This is something that I feel the need to raise awareness about. (1/10)

There is a well coordinated national campaign targeting a single trans professor at Oklahoma University to get her fired. It's part of a broader campaign to push trans people out of public life entirely. It was never about sports.

Some people on the left think just repeating “Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” frees them from the work of thinking critically about what is and is not antisemitic. And a whole lot of people on the right think being a strong Zionist functions as a “get out of antisemitism free card.”
