Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

it's a perfect storm of evil and stupid; I get that there are consequences for refusing to obey orders for active duty military members but if you believe in such a thing as a soul you should really consider the tradeoffs there

OK so I know Facebook is dead to people of our generation and all, but I low-key love joining Facebook groups full of old Dutch people. So lovely to see people have pride in their neighborhoods, post old photos, reminisce about old pubs and churches from the 70s and such.

this is why I keep talking about how important it is to skillfully pilot LLM swarms instead of just offloading one's cognition and surrendering to atrophy, because (1) it's true (2) we don't want the management class getting ideas

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

The new ROG Strix XG27JCG is basically the best monitor ever. Pretty good price for 5k, looks about as good as the LG ones, 180hz refresh rate, really good color accuracy and brightness. Works with usb-c despite the rumors
