So many thoughts when dealing with all the AI tools and thinking about how it affects the industry, young people trying to get into the industry, climate, how billionaires are affecting indirectly, and then you need a quick script or code change and it spits it out in 10 seconds...

Bear with me if you can as I attempt to use HPV vaccines to demonstrate why many can’t see the danger of RFK Jr.
TLDR: Disease prevention takes time and discipline. Not discipline of an individual, but the ability to invest in public health when the benefits may not be immediately clear.

I find it disappointing that the coding agents will put off harder tasks to work on simpler ones.
That makes perfect sense for a person learning how it works and limits risk.
For a coding agent with the memory of a goldfish, it doesn't really do any good.
Just gonna assume he’s dissing Drake.
Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.
mmmm ... carbonated milk.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
Saw this too and it's just so sad.
I like Clippy's side eye on this...😂

Caught the Aurora Borealis in northwest Ohio during a break in the clouds.
I've been interested in something similar, with a focus on a sensor platform, think Tricorder from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Some sort of pluggable system with the small screen like this could be interesting.
Maybe kings aren't so bad. Could we get one to kick our Epstein guy out of his house?
📣THREAD: It’s surprising to me that so many people were surprised to learn that Signal runs partly on AWS (something we can do because we use encryption to make sure no one but you–not AWS, not Signal, not anyone–can access your comms).
It’s also concerning. 1/
White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.
The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.
Seems a little crazy that all of these AI chip and datacenter deals are being sized by the power they consume. While the transparency is interesting, it feels like "I'm going to use 6 billion watts to allow people to create fake videos" is a little too direct for people to get behind these things.
If you'd asked me which celebrity would posthumously unveil a list of people she wanted fired into the sun, I would not have guessed Jane Goodall
Good overview from 1945 on how to recognize fascism.
I think Pope Leo contributes necessary nuance to the conversation.
However, I keep seeing (well meaning) people defend (bad faith) rebuttals to his comments by saying that “Jesus stopped a death penalty” in John 8 and… that is not what happened.
Walk with me real quick. 1/13
It seems like for a lot of people who call themselves Christians online, the things that they pejoratively label as “progressive” or “woke” are simply anything that looks like the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control of Jesus.
When you try to predict about the impact of AI tools on software engineering - a great analogy I heard from @simonwillison.net is to look at the impact of smartphones (+ the amazing cameras they have) on filmmaking.
Noticed that those able to shoot pro films using a smartphone are... pros?
Florida Man at it again.
I guess we should start staying away from Florida.
And if you are antivax, I suggest you just move there and stop taking advantage of the herd immunity that the rest of us provide.
The rest of us would like to live without preventable disease.
