“Ksmvr, if your team jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?” “That statement presupposes that I had not already leapt first to secure the way.” @thewanderinginn.bsky.social
They’re going to come for contraceptives next. “Can’t wait” for them to come for inter-racial marriages. At that point I guess we’ll move to Panama?
Ofc they do. 🤬
I’m quite happy that I’m not “that online” that I know any of this. Also wtf?
lol Shopify
It’ll be interesting to see how these groups coalesce as the special session continues, with a public hearing for the bill scheduled for tomorrow at noon. I am particularly interested in the Republicans’ ostensible accountability concerns and plan to go into more depth on that in future reporting.
You gotta put out into the world what you want manifested ;)

Maintenance of things is underrated.
That is unfortunate
Going to be at the Lake Oswego Farmer’s Market tomorrow selling vanilla extracts and maybe some 3d prints. Eclectic mix I know.
Ooooo New Deep Forest.
Maybe next year…
Thank you for making #GopherCon 2025 truly unforgettable! Gophers, YOU are the heart of this amazing community. #GophersUnite #golang
fuck having to rely on the charity of billionaires
💯, but he wouldn’t — or at least I doubt he would.
I’m not saying it needs to be profitable, but servers, bandwidth, and people to tend those things cost money. This continues to be my worry for Bsky. Mastodon less so, since individual sites can be funded by folks who use them.
The only thing I miss about the east coast is NYC.
I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences
I'm not the only one to make this point, but there will need to be the equivalent of Nuremberg Trials when this is all over (however long that takes). If there are no consequences for fascists, we'll keep having fascism.
Continues to be wild to me that Congress does nothing and abrogates their power.
We are all AI

I'm in for $100 for the initial question and $100 first follow up.
Same.
In just the first few sentences, Klein misstates a fact critical to his analysis. Trump got reelected by promising to deport violent illegal immigrants using our immigration system. That was a lie. It turned out he had no particular interest in violent illegal immigrants *or* our existing system.
I was thinking more along these lines ... but yeah ... those too.
OH: a founder in my network is looking for a Fractional CTO who can manage a team of 4 non-engineers all vibe coding their product with Claude Code. It's a well-funded startup...
Me a liberal: What does the law say? Them a conservative: that doesn’t matter. :-/
I find it both hilarious and utterly terrifying that we’ve put idiots in power.
Assault with a deli weapon.
One thing that does not need a comeback: cassette tapes.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Howwwwww is the Lisa Cook story not in your newscast?? Malpractice.
OR natives are the worst drivers.
Maths!
Post Covid cough and breathing issues are “wonderful”. It’s almost like having pneumonia. Have a virtual Dr visit late today.

I did yesterday when I brought pizza home for others. Thought having a leftover slice tonight would be fine. It was so bad.
I just had some Costco pizza. It was terrible, terrible “pizza”. That is all.
trimet doesn’t turn away people traveling to cooling shelters during a heatwave because public transit has an obligation to serve all users that isn’t shared by any other part of our transportation system. important to remember when you hear about the existential threats facing transit today

Holy Fucking BBQ Batman it’s hot out.

Everything is terrible. Closing App. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe.
Shocked! (Not at all)

JFC these numbers are still depressingly high.
i thought this was a joke but it's not and now i'm a ghost, RIP me
Where we are as a country seven months into Trump II: An opposition legislator is filing a habeas corpus petition to challenge her detention. Read that again.
#til d2lang.com Seems way less annoying than graphviz/mermaid
I am sure everyone is saying this, but it's clear Altman doesn't even get the hypothetical concept of a Dyson sphere. This formulation simply couldn't come out of the mouth of someone who understood "solar system" and "Dyson sphere."
Ambulance costs in Clackamas County, OR about to go 📈. #pdx
I bet this happened at least once and they ran with it.
Disappointed

Now that I’m no longer dying (covid) - back to bottling vanilla - first market of the year is next Saturday - Oregon City Farmer’s Market. Bit behind due to -waves hands around- so I dunno if I’ll have everything bottled by Friday, but 🤷🏼♂️.
I guess the other option is for the DNC or GOP to stop being terrible, but 🤷🏼♂️
The only way afaict for a viable alternative is a really really really charismatic 3rd party candidate and the GoP/DnC anger their bases completely. The later is in progress.
If Trump is trying to see what he can get away with by ordering armed military to take over Washington DC, he’s learning he can definitely get away with that.
I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.
Kind of wonder what the coverage would have been like if it was RNC headquarters that was targeted like this. Or the Fox News building. Or Trump Tower.
I guess I don’t follow then 🤷🏼♂️. I wouldn’t vote for Newsom in a primary.
CW: Sexual assault Men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and assault women. This is one of many reasons why we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Tell your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...
It’s a general election hypothetical.
In the hypothetical there is a choice — 3 in fact.
This is generally what I do and it’s usually WFP.
I wouldn’t for Newsom unless I have no other choice.
Hypothetical 2028 general election comes down to Newsom v Vance. What do you do? I’ll “hold my nose” and vote Newsom. I wouldn’t have voted for him before that (not in a primary). We need a better system.
OH: the immune system is where intuition goes to die
doing "fascism is the practice of colonialism redirected inwards" hyper literally
There have always been people like this. Unfortunately the internet, social media, podcasts, etc have given them a platform bigger than the local pub or town square.
2 days of fever (Mon/Tues). Honestly sort of worried that the fever part was over so fast. I’m not better but also don’t have much of a fever.
I did not think it pertinent to ask, but in your world, does the word 'ally' mean someone who is consistently deficient in giving actual aid and support to their allies? — Xrn the Small Queen
Out of the painful shivering/sweating in bed phase and onto the anything more than a quick trip outside of the bedroom makes me want to lay down again phase of #covid

For more than a century, virtually every corporate-productivity fad has assumed “that employees can be managed as if they were machines,” Arthur C. Brooks writes. The real solution to happiness and productivity might just be to “treat people as people”:
“The AI in the study probably prompted doctors to become over-reliant on its recommendations, ‘leading to clinicians becoming less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance,’ the scientists said in the paper.”

Covid lollipop has 2 lines. Bleh.
Calm Erin. That’s what they call me. Yup. Yup. Where’s my frying pan? — Erin Solstice
Well at least that means I can curl up in bed and read more @thewanderinginn.bsky.social . Current Chapter: 7.42
I encourage you to give it a watch, especially if you already subscribe to D+. But obv 💯 up to you. HFGL!

The problem that you're suggesting that AI solve is not a problem that should be solved with AI: it is a problem of culture and it needs a cultural solution. To help students think through an idea without facing ridicule or bias, we don't need AI: we need to create a better educational environment.
Hmm. I need to wait for it to finish freezing, but I think that may have been too much vanilla — not sure how that’s possible but here I am. Will report back tomorrow after it finishes freezing.
Oregon GOP Rep.Cliff Bentz and his staff spent 6x the average on Tr*mp's inauguration. Records show that 4 staff spent $16,000 just on 3 days worth of hotels. This man supported the firing of federal officials in his district and taking away Medicaid from his constituents in the name of saving $$.
Also made some stracciatella ice cream with the vanilla that will be for sale in a few weeks.
Is Temu Howie Mandel really trying to act like Halle Berry isn't absurdly out of his league?
Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.
