Anyone who thinks college professors are in some kind of mind meld with each other where they all agree and indoctrinate their students with that unified message...has clearly never been in a faculty meeting.
If the Senate confirms the wildly unqualified Emil Bove, it will be responsible for the even Trumpier and more lawless Supreme Court for which the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is potentially but a Bovean stepping stone. He is an antijudge extraordinaire

The speaker of the Minnesota House, Melissa Hortman is assassinated with numerous other persons by a MAGA gunman whose screed says he wants the GOP to control the legislature. This barely causes a ripple in US media. Trump won't call the survivors to express condolences. Reps boycott her memorial.
Under Trump and Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill,” 17 MILLION people will lose their health care.
That’s your grandma with a walker, your niece who was born with a life-threatening condition, and your neighbor whose kid just broke his arm.

Still using Eclipse for Java. Not using Kotlin, C#, or Rust.
This. Is. Insane.

I don’t believe that my code that runs my production server involves using `manage.py runserver`. I think it just runs gunicorn directly. What is the use case for starting your production server using manage.py?

My wife and I are attending the Chicago rally and march. We are putting finishing touches on our sign artwork today!!!!!!

We really need a Creative Commons “EXCEPT AI training is prohibited at any time” license.
I want to share science openly, not feed the fully evil, electric/water greedy, hallucinating-dumb/crazy-things machines used to trick and oppress people who can’t fact check the plausible sounding garbage
Wow! I love this card on so many levels.
