I'm laughing with you. I write. I live in a fifth wheel traveling the dystopian US. Ask me anything about RV life except where i am.

I like rocks and trees and writing and dogs and photography and human rights

What's hilarious is that competent programmers, as well as people studying programming for the very first time, know that all code you write after about 4 hours is garbage. Totally useless, none of it worth salvaging.

Actual programmers hear "I coded for 36 hours" and hear "I gooned for 36 hours"

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

1. Pronghorn antelope (I have terrible photos of them, just terrible, because they scented us and ran)
2. Armadillo (scared the crap out of Milo, too)
3. Bison
4. Millipede (in GA, I think it was)
5. White (not albino) squirrels
Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

Zebra (, an entire dazzle, amongst them, unwittingly, zoinks)

Tarantula Hawk Wasp (stung me, whew lord)

Giraffe (just, wow)

(Almost) a dead lion of Tzavo East

Yellow finch (in my yard and I love them)

I could fill this up with Doctor Who quotes that have more meaning to me than anything Starmer could come up with:

“Nobody important? Blimey, that's amazing. You know that in nine hundred years of time and space and I've never met anybody who wasn't important before.”
"Demons run when a good man goes to war.

Night will fall and drown the sun, when a good man goes to war.

Friendship dies and true love lies, night will fall and the dark will rise...

... when a good man goes to war."

It's all gone, baby.

Gone, baby, gone.

"...irreparably broken..." is absolutely right.
it's hard to get your mind around how irredeemably broken this country has become. no one in charge at this time seems to understand even the basics of our system of government as written or our stated set of values as a secular society

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

These "guardrails" don't stop, at all, genAI from encouraging people to kill themselves and their families, because they were trained by stealing literally the entire internet.

Every single forum discussing suicide, using euphemisms to get around *the exact same kind of keyword filtering* etc

I saw someone make an interesting point that you can clearly see that genAI "safeguards" don't actually stop it from encouraging people to commit suicide and family annihilation, they very clearly do not work.

But, they *do* appear to be working fine against encouraging people to, say, assassinate.

Self-hatred is extremely efficient. Nobody else would bother to hate us as much and as well as we hate ourselves.

Nicely framed.
A man told me he only dates women & trans women. I told him that’s redundant. Trans women are women, you can just say you’re only into women. He didn’t understand so I said: what if someone said to you, I only date men & Black men? He was like, that would be really weird. Exactly bro. Exactly.

Even with an intact CDC and FDA, only like 1% of foodbourne outbreaks were ever identified. 1 out of 6 Americans get a foodbourne illness each year, with no identifiable cause.

Now? All but the very largest, most severe outbreaks will be just like that.
Fun fact: the vast vast majority of foodbourne illness in the US is not part of an outbreak, defined as 2+ people getting sick from a common food source, but a sporadic and isolated thing.

Only about 1% of outbreaks are ever actually identified as such.
