Israel broke the ceasefire so they could immediately start killing civilians en masse again, and our fucked-up reality is that absolutely no one is going to step in to stop mass murderer Netanyahu and his friends from having fun with their genocide.

What can one even scream at this point ffs

If you’re wondering how crypto is doing, Solana (the blockchain Trump used to launch his scam coin) just released an ad where a dude named “America” bravely announces he wants to “invent new technologies not genders.”

PS. Solana has lost 48% of its value since Trump’s inauguration.

A long-time Symbolic Software client recently gifted me a new M4 MacBook Air (much appreciated!), so I benchmarked it against my trusty M1 Max from 2021.

Stunned at the results, which it accomplishes despite a much smaller wattage and with passive cooling.

Not sure how much I’ll be livetwooting this year. But a good bit from the first narrative talk (Adam Dolin) was that God of War (2018) had a variable cooldown duration for Kratos/Atreus combat banter.

Early in the game they yell reminders at each other a lot. By the end, they do it much less often, because they’re supposed to be good at this now. (As is the player!)

Chuck Schumer cannot protect you from what's coming. He's not built like that.

But if you're honest with yourself, you knew that already.

Just like a Pomeranian cannot protect you from a pack of coyotes. It's not mean to the Pomeranian to say that. The Pomeranian doesn't understand that he's food.

As I said elsewhere, the current administration has made it clear they're making the US a place that is no longer a safe place for foreigners to visit, so why would other people want to come here

Me to a product leader: your product sucks compared to your competition, here's the side-by-side.

The competition: ~2MB of critical path JS (>6MB unzipped) with React and an effing rainbow table (380K, 770K unzipped) in the main bundle.

React + NPM have now dragged the average so low that you don't even have to be good to win!

The concepts of “what's legal” and what's not are irrelevant until someone figures out a way to punch these criminals hard enough to make them cower.

It ain't gonna be the courts.

If it’s not evident by now, they don't give a damn about what the courts say.

Old rules don't matter.
