Can’t blame Canada one bit. They have to put their own interests first.

I wonder if it’s dawning on any Trumpers here in America that they’ve made a profoundly bad call. I’m guessing probably not. They may only have an inkling of this harsh reality when it hits their wallets like a freight train. But even then it will always be someone else’s fault (liberals, Democrats, foreign nations, etc).

Are we winning yet??

“B-but the old testament said…”

That retort gets so fucking old. At the same time as many fundies talk about how Jesus ushered in a new era of laws, they cling on to the bullshit written by randos hundreds of thousands or years earlier.

These are the same books that shout about how eating shellfish and mixing fabrics are affronts to God. The same ones that herald how virtuous a guy is because he was going to murder his own kid because of a talking bush. The same ones that go into graphic detail about donkey emissions. And yet certain snippets are still relevant in the midsts of all that dross? Give me a break!

And before any Christians respond, know that I (and others) don’t care. You can obsess over the old testament all you like. If you find value in their writings then good for you. But don’t force that discriminatory, hateful crap on other people.

Edit: fixed a typo.

Be careful, you might hurt his delicate fee-fees! /s

But seriously, yes, screw him. He’s a toxic, narcissistic, man-child nepo-baby who has conned his way to the top, climbing on the backs of better people.

Elon Musk: “It’s not a lie if you believe it!”

That’s a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.

The sad thing is they know the large majority of users will comply. Most people put familiarity and convenience above their own privacy and general well-being.

Damn. That’s some heavy “please clap!” vibes right there!

Pair programming with Grok.

Spotty DOGE intern developer: “what’s a for loop?”

Grok: “Look it up yourself, noob! Holy shit do I hate Elon Musk in every fucking way!”

Ah yes, a classic tale…

“We’re going to take this perfectly efficient and functional COBOL code base and rewrite it in Java! And we’ll do it in a few months!”

So many more competent people and organizations than them have already tried this and spectacularly crashed and burned. There are literal case studies on these types of failed endeavors.

I bet they’ll do it in Waterfall too.

It’s interesting. If they use Grok, this could well be the deathknell for vibe programming (at least for now). It’s just fucking tragic that their hubris will cause grief and pain to so many Americans - and cost the lives of more than a few.

Edit: Fixed some typos.

More meat for the grinder.

So who exactly is downloading the app as a result of this latest government scandal? I’m going to guess it’s the maga crowd because they are this as an endorsement from their new king. But hopefully I’m wrong and it’s a broad sweep of different users from across the political spectrum.

That makes sense. Spez is such a spineless dweeb, it checks out that a narcissistic blowhard like Musk would be pushing him around.

Yeah, I was definitely not taught about that!

It was covered a bit when I was in school. Although the main focus was “yeah we did some bad slavery stuff. But we got rid of slavery much sooner than America and some other countries did!”

So it wasn’t exactly done in the best of ways. Although at the risk of repeating that same approach, as someone else here mentioned I think that’s the case with pretty much every country that enslaved or abused people.

Digital vampirism

I like this phrase. It distills down what the article is getting across perfectly.

Please stop spamming this one blog all over the place. It’s getting obnoxious.

Upstairs, in the opera house, the audience sits in the US while the performers are in Canada.

Would be really funny if the Canadian performers started performing original plays that mocked the current US administration.

And if you can. Which isn’t possible for most.

Video cut out before he no doubt retorted with some facile, bullshit strawman argument. But you just know that happened.

Tuesday’s release represents a small, outstanding tranche of the more than six million pages of records collected by the National Archives – the majority of which have already been declassified and are available online or in person for review, according to the agency.

So not quite as spectacular as will probably be heralded by Trump’s followers. But maybe there’s some new information in the minority of new pages/documents that could be off interest to JFK conspiracy theorists.
