Inside the box of tea there are loose leaves from tea bags presumably miss-cut at the factory

Morning Thunder .. so powerful it can’t be contained in tiny tea bags!

Writing . . . is my lifesaver when the water of the river or the sea tries to drag me under. What matters is what we write: that is what we are, not some puppet made up by those who talk and enclose us in a prison so different from our dreams.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

Add your favorites in the replies. Fuck state-backed media monopolies.

Having grown up in the capital of the confederacy, I know a lot of people into the history. Some tourist spots like Jamestown aspire to Disney like experiences.

If they are dressing as a Disney princess villain as a souvenir picture, let them.

But if they have a different motive? Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

Is this a take a picture with dressing up or participating in historical reenactment?

First safe move is using curiosity.

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.

Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Task Isolation vs Context Drift

Diagram comparing two AI-assisted development approaches. Left side labeled "What I Did: One Long Session" shows a single large red-bordered context window containing an evolving specification at the top, followed by six sequential pull requests (PR #1 through PR #6) with Ralph loops. Red dashed arrows between PRs indicate drift and context bleed. Bottom text warns of "spec drift, context bleed, deprecated patterns copied."

Right side labeled "What Works: Gastown Pattern" shows a green-bordered supervisor context at top containing a stable specification. Three green arrows labeled "spec subset" descend from supervisor to three separate worker contexts below (Workers #1, #2, #3), each containing a single PR with its own isolated purple Ralph loop arrow for iteration. Additional workers #4-6 shown with dashed border. Bottom text emphasizes "fresh context, stable spec, isolated Ralph loops."

Key difference: Left approach accumulated drift across tasks in one conversation; right approach maintains specification stability by dispatching bounded subtasks to fresh contexts.

I want to confess a mistake. I didn't follow context management best practices when using AI for code contributions, and I incinerated my credibility with one of my teams.

It’s pretty funny when I can recognize people in a picture from their bikes.

CHARLES RAFFERTY
The Problem with Early Warnings

People don't like to leave a party unless the house is actually on fire. Even then, if the flames are far enough away to be pretty, they'll finish their drink, take one more pass at the hors d'oeuvres.
How things happen has always been unclear. Hurricanes begin in a place where no one lives.
Agents of the government start to wear masks. Fascism is a word my neighbors won't use yet. They are following
the law, they say, and the sirens are coming for someone else.
