For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Been using GPT 5 a lot today. The crashing is pretty bad. I’m using Cursor today more than GPT 5, although yesterday it built me an app to solve a personal use case. ~600 lines of code with a really nice user interface and almost working off the bat. I finished it in cursor due to constant crashing

/3 Fares for passengers and vehicles on the ferry that operates between Nova Scotia & Newfoundland and Labrador are also going down. Ottawa has pledged to increase funding to the operator, Marine Atlantic, to lower the price by 50%. Ottawa is also freezing commercial freight rates on that route.

I still can’t believe the UK did this to itself. Most importantly - to its youth and their opportunities, chances and aspirations.
I understand. We understand.
We understand the importance that Europe had in your lives and the sense of biting loss for many of you.
We understand what Brexit has done.

Have spent hours this evening trying to work out why I was getting hydration errors. Been through everything on remix remix.run/docs/en/main docs, stack overflow, cursor, OpenAI.
Turns out it's a chrome extension. How's your evening going? #remix #webdev
