seems conspicuous that programmer commentary on genAI is split between
"oh yeah i use claude all the time now. the 10× programmer is real and he's me. i am a god"
and
"yeah my coworkers use claude all the time. they keep committing crap that doesn't work and now i spend half my time fixing it"

this is amazing. he might think harder about faith than practically anyone in public life
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

I'm not saying Leather is only for working class people but I am saying that Leather is a fundamentally political community and those politics should always be those of the working class. If you can't have some class solidarity then you shouldn't be in the community!

Lets hope it gets the axe before anything gets painted in this daft color smear. With BR perfection just sitting right there to use, this jingoistic rubbish is Brexit impotence at track speed.
Two tones of blue unnecessary.
Angled repeating downward lines too symbolic of UK trajectory.

Wonder why. Could definitely not have anything to do with trans people having a culture of SHAMING cis people for dating trans people. Couldn’t be for the same reason my fiancé, whom I was already with FOUR YEARS before my transition, got called a ‘chaser’ once just because he’s my partner. Mystery
Trans women often find themselves feeling predatory for interest in cis women, but from a lot of recent conversations with cis women I learned that they often feel predatory for their interest in trans women as well

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.
Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.
My rage knows no bounds

Merz möchte Geld beim Bürgergeld einsparen.
2019 zum Beispiel haben die Jobcenter noch für Rückforderung von Kleinbeträgen 60 Millionen Euro ausgegeben.
Um 18 Millionen Euro zurück zu fordern.
Soziale Härte kostet auch Geld. Aber wenn die Ärmsten weniger kriegen, ist es uns das wert?
