I updated whorl, an async executor in Rust meant to teach you how async Rust works under the hood for the first time in a few years. Updated some wording and finally got rid of the Lazy module in favor of std::sync::LazyLock! Check it out! 😁

Ahaha oh man did you know they did Tarrifs back in the early 1930s? Guess how well that went?!

40% of GDP growth this year christ. We're already in a recession when the AI bubble pops we're going to be in an even worse place than 2008.

Winesap if you can find some. They have a very brief window of availability

But damn every day I wasn’t in the guard as a salaried employee having to work a week let alone a weekend sucked ass.

Shit like this though was why reenlistment rates are/were so low except for poor areas where people needed the cash

It’s very much not a “hit da bricks, if it sucks just quit” kinda job.

The violent arm of the state and contracts you do not get to negotiate leads to WAY different incentives

Not showing up and the order turns out to be lawful could be counted as desertion and the UCMJ will *screw up your life* if you end up with a Dishonorable Discharge.

They’re more likely to be going out of fear, but I can tell you that every grunt will be pissed for not getting payed

maybe i’m just too civilian to understand this but if i got yanked away from my real job to go invade some other part of america and i didn’t get paid for it i would simply go back to civilian life and continue to get paid. some of us have bills

sarah jeong @sarahjeong.bsky.social · 3d

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

And by that I mean if the goal was to sell ATProto not Twitter 2 it probably would’ve been better to do this

Michael Gattozzi @mgattozzi.dev · 5d

In a way I feel like they kinda needed 2 different types of social media to show that you can do different things and still have the same social graph

I would say yes, especially if you would use it every single day. It’s the only planner I’ve used consistently for two years, but I plan to downsize to the weeks from the cousin so that it’s a bit easier to use.

Look at my opposition party dawg

Michael Gattozzi @mgattozzi.dev · 8d

Republicans can finally gut the ACA after trying for years by letting the funding lapse. They’re so good at controlling the framing of things and Dems suck so hard men

Michael Gattozzi @mgattozzi.dev · 8d

Man the Democrats are so cooked when every Government Agency like the VA here bends the truth like this with emails they send out why you can’t call the benefits hotline but oh yes don’t worry you’ll still get your benefits and healthcare.

Also the whole “No fat officers thing” like bruh who cares they’re like 55 and sit behind a desk and are nowhere near the battle who gives a shit dude?

He’s going to be so deeply unpopular with so many people. Like truly unbelievable how he’s going to piss off both enlisted and officers

Michael Gattozzi @mgattozzi.dev · 8d

I can tell you right now they tried shit like this before back in like 2014 when SMA Chandler was in charge with the no tats below the arm policy and people were PISSED. I can guarantee you every grunt and officer hates or will hate this man very very soon

Ahahaha I knew they were gonna hate it. Man is so unqualified. Like I’m sorry bring back Shark Attacks and forcing sexual assault reports to not be anonymous? Is he crazy? Did he sleep through SHARP briefings as a Major?

Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social · 9d

There we are.

“Secretary Hegseth’s misogynistic lethality screed was disqualifying. His continued railing against women in combat roles shows his deep personal inadequacies,” said the first defense official. “It shocks the conscience to hear the Secretary of Defense — he is no warrior — endorse bullying and hazing of service members. How dare this former National Guard major lecture our military leaders on lethality when he’s focused solely on his own cult of personality.”
