House procedure is normally a snoozefest that only insiders care about. But this one is just such a perfect distillation of the incompetence in the GOP, failure of Trump as a leader and weakness of Mike Johnson. Let's roll the video tape:

with everything i said about c macros earlier absolutely still applying, macros are far better than error prone doing things manually.

you just sort of have to suck up that the tools are shit and use them to try and minimise errors.

Software research is full of jingle and jangle fallacies. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this. You will understand my frustration with endless new papers blithely making up new words for things and acting like they're psychometrically coherent constructs if you do look it up though.

I know that ego-depletion *qua* ego-depletion is not a real effect, and so I wasn't sure what managing "energy" really even meant any more. And this little self-experiment is in line with that; this is not fixed by a little glucose or a good night's sleep, which *would* fix it under a simplistic "ego-depletion" theory; it's a longer-term psychological effect that implicates activation energy over longer periods of time. Not sure if there's literature on this but the effect is real for me.

I've seen a bunch of folks talking about "managing energy, not time" and although I've tried to do that for many years, none of it really clicked for me on a visceral level until recently. It's frustrating because every day it feels like "I've still got an hour, I should do 3 more to-do items, ugh, there's so much left". The point where I run out of "energy", hit the wall, and get to the point where *tomorrow's* admin time will be useless wall-staring does not *feel* like my breaking point

having another morning like this and feeling like I should share a bit more about this #ADHD self-accommodation: dealing with a period of absolutely overwhelming tons-of-overhead (i.e.: tedious, annoying, anxiety-provoking tasks) but I've been mostly managing to avoid the pitfall of "stare blankly, exhausted, incapable of progress" by rationing my overhead per day

Just gonna boost this up to the TL cause I think there's a conversation to be had about how much genAI centers around people desperately wanting the ability to be deceitful, and their need to defend it lest they lose their powers of deception.

I'm not going to link to it, it's disgusting as hell, but JKR has *again* gone after Imane Khelif, hours apart from her lauding the HBO reboot trailer.

Support of her show *necessarily* validates not only her transphobia, but also her using transphobic hate to justify racism.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.

so I got laid off again, for stupid AI-pilled reasons.

Anybody need a writer or editor with:
- 8+ years of technical writer/content strategist experience, mostly in software
- One published short fiction anthology (as editor)
- A master's degree in sociolinguistics
- A knack for learning new content management systems
- A love of working with invested SMEs
- A basic understanding of web dev
- Strong boundaries
- An aversion to generative AI?

Prioritizing remote work in Canada.
