Yet another indictment of the United States health system that James Van Der Beekβs wife and six kids need a gofundme because his unsuccessful cancer treatment destroyed them financially

If thereβs one thing we donβt tolerate in America itβs Spanish words. To do that in San Francisco Californiaβ¦well it makes me angry, and Iβll 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, Iβm 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 donβt wanna read your slop anymore.
His GoFundMe from previous needs is still up and people can donate.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These arenβt acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.
Woman dressed as Statue of Liberty wearing an American flag cape is arrested by Broadview police with assistance from Illinois State Police.
Police just detained two protesters.
One dressed as the Statue of the Liberty.
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
Text that appears when opening a PDF document in Acrobat: "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI Assistantβ appears.
As a person who cares about reading and human thinking, Iβd like to share the simmering rage I feel knowing that opening a 4+ page essay in Adobe Acrobat automatically prompts this message: βThis appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary using AI Assistant."
Very good use of the comma there.

This is the kind of activity Meta spy glasses were made for. The potential negatives FAR outweigh any positives, as Iβm sure theyβre well aware. There were probably many discussions about it. However, it could make them a lot of money. Also, they donβt give a fuck. So thereβs that, too.
Fascism is fine, but jokes are cancelled.
Ask the FCC, which now stands for Fucking Christian Christofascists, BTW.
Yes, everythingβs terrible, but still be kind
