I got a gift card last week as a thank you for helping the newbies onboard and understanding everything on the team.
Used it to buy new comfy slippers. I would have done the work regardless, but I’m very pleased 😊

Democrats are not unpopular right now because of the words they use.
They’re unpopular now because the words they don’t use, many being unwilling to do what’s necessary for this political moment.

Don't say "birthing person."
Don't say "incarcerated person."
Don't say "the unhoused."
Don't say "chest feeding."
Don't say "centering.
Don't say "Latinx."
When voters hear this, they think Democrats are out of touch crazy people. Just talk normal. Be normal.

one of the things that gets me about so many of the pundits who pontificate about "higher education" when they really mean a handful of elite private institutions is that most of them live within driving distance of either a community college or a non-selective public institution

Oh look, it’s the series made to milk the emaciated cow that is the Harry Potter series, and because the author can’t get over the fact that the original cast can’t stand her.
All JK had to do was to sit in a Scottish castle and enjoy her money. Somehow she fucked that up

It still pisses me off "vibe coding" doesn't mean jamming to some music, brewing hot tea and enjoying writing code(whether professionally or not).
That they had to ruin the word "vibe" for us 😭

‘Vibe coding’ as a phrase is embarrassing to me. In an industry where the bar was already very low, it suggests we can care even less. It’s another step towards enshittification.
The only way to make great software is to truly reason about the code and systems. There are no shortcuts.

This thread is fantastic, but damn, this post is amazing. The British definitely had a way about them in just showing up and fucking everything up.
But apart from some fun spats, things were mostly fine. We sang our songs, we sold our wares, some of us were rich, some of us were poor, some of us tried to sneakily recruit each other, good times.
AND THEN THE FUCKING BRITISH SHOWED UP.

America: bring Budapest energy to your country.
Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
