not just no, *hell* no:

‘This is not simply the exchange rate being against us. Courtesy of our failed grifter government, an eating trip around the city left me fearing we are now simply a poorer country than the US. You feel it when paying $125 a head and up as standard for dinner in an unfancy restaurant. Or $26.95 for a Reuben. Plus ubiquitous 20% tips.’

‘The release of the convicts who volunteer for Wagner is contentious among Russians, many of whom fear the men will go on to commit further crimes.

Last month, the Kremlin defended the practice, saying convicts were being pardoned “in strict adherence with Russian law”.

Under the Russian constitution, only the president can issue pardons and critics point to the fact the Kremlin has not published such decrees since 2020.’

‘Rogers reckons Biden will win the Democratic nomination for 2024 and is well placed in the general election – but nothing is guaranteed. “We re-elect 75% of our presidents. If you had to bet today, you’d bet on the incumbent. But if it’s not Trump, if somebody showed up as an energetic change candidate, Biden could be beat.”’

what a sad little man he is:

‘The backstory the justice department was told about the folder was that Trump would sometimes ask to keep the envelopes, featuring only the “Classified Evening Briefings” in red lettering, as keepsakes after briefings were delivered, one of the sources said.’

“7. We Want An Immediate End to Police Brutality and the Murder of Black People.
We believe we can end police brutality in our Black community by organizing Black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our Black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all Black people should arm themselves for self-defense.” - 1966

Pushed releases for 2 projects I had totally forgotten about (ltsv-logger and play-csv) this weekend because someone opened PRs to bump dependencies.

#opensource is the gift that keeps on giving and gives me faith in the goodness of humanity. I really think #OSS and the culture around it has pushed humanity to new heights in many ways and I hope _some_ historians out there are keeping track.

A really funny thing to come out of the Hogwarts game is that multiple times now, I've seen someone post a spoiler image and then someone else reblog/retweet to add an image description and transcription of the text

It's wild to me that folks assume I don't have evidence for frontend's lost decade because either:

1.) I don't have the traces
2.) CWV isn't already deployed

Just saw a title "ChatGPT clones will destroy Internet search", and a thought occurred to me: may be it's actually a solution to SEO spam. If the search algorithm is based on neural networks it makes it almost completely incomprehensible and thus immune to manipulation. By both spammers and creators.
