leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

When I did read the Art of War looking for some deep military wisdom, I was really dissapointed because most of it were like very basic stuf like "don't go to battle if you know you're going to get your ass handed" or "don't attack that 100k army just with your tavern buddies".

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified The newly corroborated details suggest the woman was truthful about numerous aspects of her life.

There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

This has nothing to do with the specific content here, but Polymarket adopting the language of news, here with BREAKING, and with Texas election results earlier this week, is BAD. Polymarket is not and will never be a news org or break news. It's a betting app. It's Draft Kings for sociopaths.

Keep thinking of how she told the FBI agents she was wary of speaking with them because she thought it was unlikely it would change anything. Echoes of Christine Blasey Ford saying she was "just jumping in front of a train that was headed to where it was headed anyway"

He's putting up record job losses, driving the country into a war he can't even explain, and was credibly accused of raping a teenager in the Epstein files released yesterday - so of course it's time to try and ruin more trans people's lives

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Trump: [gets elected because the prices on things are too high]

Trump: [implements tarrifs all over the place, bombs Iran, ends de minimis exception]

Heck of a job, Donny.

How I Dropped Our Production Database and Now Pay 10% More for AWS I’m working on expanding the AI Shipping Labs website and wanted to migrate its current version from static GitHub Pages to AWS.

I don't want to call this person out specifically, but this article about how someone let Claude blow away their in-production resources should be an object lesson for people who think they can just vibe their way through things.

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

the post going around about claude having outdated info about targets in iran was itself a question posed to claude, which has no inferiority or knowledge of the program state used when drawing up targets. please stop asking the AI about what it did, it literally doesn’t know

If this is true then why doesn’t @moderation.bsky.app have a warning in their bio about it? And why does the option to block the account even exist?

24 hrs to respond before permanent ban is not enough, especially as blocklists mean people don’t know they have the account blocked

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

If you want to see how little liberals care about the Epstein files just say that bill clinton is a guilty fuck and watch how many people you get blocked by and how many people do apologia for him

Microsoft says stop calling it Microslop, or you're banned Microsoft is censoring the word "Microslop" on its official Copilot Discord server and reportedly even banning users for using it.

Well, I'm sure this will be the last we hear of it.
