If there’s one thing we don’t tolerate in America it’s Spanish words. To do that in San Francisco California…well it makes me angry, and I’ll say that all the way from Los Angeles to Bonita Springs Florida

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

I get really frustrated by people pushing faster code velocity as the reason to use LLMs. To me that's the wrong objective altogether. Push for higher code quality instead. That pays long term dividends and is the real force multiplier.

If I can tell you wrote your newsletter with AI, I’m unsubscribing.

Not an AI hater. But the reason I subscribe to newsletters is for human insight, unique wisdom, pushing myself.

If I walk away thinking the words are just statistically modeled, I don’t wanna read your slop anymore.

two men standing next to each other with the words as god as my witness Alt: Herb Tarlic and the boss standing next to each other with the words as god as my witness I thought turkeys could fly. From WKRP in Cincinatti the tv show for their Thanksgiving episode the boss had the idea to do a giveaway of live turkey over a shopping center by dropping them out of a helicopter. One of the funniest episodes of television ever.

It’s that time of year

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Very straightforwardly detained by secret police for speech. I honestly don't know what establishment figures are telling themselves any more to avoid cognitive dissonance over this shit.

Several schools see a majority of students walking and rolling.

It's clear what those schools have in common:
-Nearby relatively dense housing (9+ DU/acre)
-Adjacent protected bike infrastructure
-Very little parking/auto circulation

Thanks in large part to Safe Routes to School (a program created in Marin before it was rolled out nationwide), Marin County sees 3x the rate of kids walking or rolling to school.

Over the past 15 years we've gone from 1 in 4 kids to 1 in 3 kids. This compares to 1 in 9(!) nationally.

Honestly, who wouldn't want this? Link includes pic of great child-sized park benches installed in the 20th. Kids also want to sit and visit

As a person who cares about reading and human thinking, I’d like to share the simmering rage I feel knowing that opening a 4+ page essay in Adobe Acrobat automatically prompts this message: β€œThis appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI Assistant."

This is the kind of activity Meta spy glasses were made for. The potential negatives FAR outweigh any positives, as I’m sure they’re well aware. There were probably many discussions about it. However, it could make them a lot of money. Also, they don’t give a fuck. So there’s that, too.
