Why is US GDP a relevant measure when many S&P 500 companies serve an international market?
@kenmartin.bsky.social the divide in the the democratic party is absolutely generational. Please no more 70+ year old candidates.
Looks like shit. If I wanted an overly stylized garbage UI, I would have bought a Samsung.
What is with this weird shift the keyboard does. Like itβs too wide and then narrows a bit.
Keyboard looks different in an app vs searching App Library. Not even the same typeface.
iOS 26 Liquid Glass, more like Liquid Ass. This UI sucks.
How many times do we have to hear βthis shouldnβt be happening in a functional democracyβ before we realize in we are on fact NOT living in a functional democracy. Thatβs why this stuff happens, our democracy is broken.
Remembering that some people were insisting that Trump birthday card to Epstein was fake because Trump is too stupid to use the word βenigmaβ.
The Chargers take home a 27-21 win over the Chiefs in SΓ£o Paulo π§π·
Brightline West might do it. Especially if they allow gambling on the train as soon as it passes the state line
Allowing right turns on red was a mistake. Drivers often honk at someone who doesnβt turn immediately, oblivious to the fact that the stopped driver is simply waiting for a pedestrian to cross.
Make other parties feasible then. The system as is revolves around a two party system.
Itβs just two guys bullshittinβ. Not an actual policy proposal by anyone serious.
Hereβs another prophetic tweet. So many Trump moves seem to be in Chinaβs longterm favor.

Windows Notepad, the native simple text editor, now has formatting options and a Copilot button.
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
Itβs functioning as intended. For the benefit of the wealthy and well-connected.
If both rising prosperity and declining prospects could be answers, maybe those people are just racists.
On the principles, I think sheβs right. In practice, I donβt think the conditions allow for a general strike. Democrats canβt let the blatant gerrymandering leading up to the midterms in Texas go unchallenged. Even if the risk is other red states do the same.
The US Government will be like a brand, outsourcing the actual work for private profit. Itβs possible people lose faith in that brand as you bring up, but so long as the money keeps flowing and the people are kept on check, theyβll come running that playbook.
Their goal is for the government to act as the middle man between the public and the private sector. Already happening with GEO Group and their privatized ICE detention centers. It happens with the military and weapons manufacturers.
I think that assumes they even want an administrative state in government form. Their wealthy backers (Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Alex Karp, and their kind) want the the government out so the private sector can step in. The administrative state will be outsourced to the private sector.
Gotta look him up. Already a fan of Internet Shaquille, so perhaps we have similar taste.
Itβs a computer program! Thatβs all it is.
Anthropomorphizing artificial intelligence is a mental disorder.
Empire of AI by @karenhao.bsky.social helps demystify the mythology around AI and specifically OpenAI. A must read book.
I was deeply moved when it toasted my sourdough to a golden brown after I prompted it with a setting of 4. I always make sure to ask it for consent before cleaning out its crumb tray.
Sometimes when my toaster does a particularly good job, I let it toasts whatever it wants.
The summer camp then called in an airstrike on the nearest hospital.
