This is good advice every day, assuming of course that your local city or suburb hasn’t been specifically and deliberately designed to make you essentially car dependent… #UrbanTruth
please do not do the second thing
Yeah, he's a hater, and there's plenty to hate about AI, but I don't think it's too much to expect people to understand the basics of an industry before writing about it. And slagging AI coding tools when he doesn't know the difference between front/backend engineering doesn't bolster his cred.

they need to import this to the Stanley Cup playoffs, watching hockey players be handed stuffed animals while they seethe is the new funniest thing in the world
Absolutely embarrassing.
at least until we get a PWHL team in California anyway

Moods. Wine Bar has become a wonderful part of Downtown Sunnyvale, providing a friendly, welcoming third space that we need more of. Unfortunately they're now in danger of closing. Please consider donating to help keep this vital space alive for years to come: www.gofundme.com/f/help-keep-...
Genuinely insane we are living in a world where the Danish have to deploy a battlegroup to protect themselves against America. Makes my blood turn molten, honestly
After 9/11, 43 Danish soldiers died fighting in Afghanistan. Trump's attempt to steal Greenland, his threats of war against Denmark, his temper tantrum over the Nobel Prize, it's all too disgusting for words.
Congress must reign in this mad king—before it's too late. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
It’s come to this: “Catholic members of the US armed forces could in good conscience consider disobeying orders to attack Greenland if such orders were issued, according to Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the bishop responsible for the pastoral care of US military personnel.”
This is the kind of shit that would make you completely outside the bounds of any ancient society, the gods bestow generational curses for violating hospitality
Suing everyone who doesn’t like me for hurting my feelings is sure to get them to like me
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.
sciam article “Roads safer when drunk drivers immediately lose licence to kill”
CBC article “For seniors, losing drivers licence like having ‘arm cut off’”
One of the most subtly insane aspects of the unrelenting car dependency we’ve deliberately built across North America is the incredible reluctance we have to remove the driving privilege, even from those who clearly are a danger to themselves & others, because “people have to drive.” #CarDependency
Tonight, things are looking up, just a little bit.
My God.

Text thread from Rishi Kumar's campaign for Santa Clara County Assessor: Campaign: Richard, Rishi Kumar cut taxes, stopped SJWC & PGE hikes, and as Assessor will put $ back in YOUR pocket. Vote Rishi today? Me: Rishi Kumar isn't fit to be dogcatcher, much less assessor. Campaign: It seems like you can sniff out dogcatcher talent because you are one? Rishi wrote a
Some fun texts from Rishi Kumar's campaign for Santa Clara County Assessor! He's lying to seniors, saying he'll exempt them from property tax--which the assessor can't do.
So if you live in Santa Clara County, return your ballot by Nov 4 and vote YES on A, YES on 50, and Neysa Fliegor for Assessor!
