A fun quirk of modern languages is variable names aren’t restricted to ASCII.
Most compilers won’t let you use emojis as identifiers in C++, but we *can* be pretty funny (notice cout).
A legitimate use case is replicating scientific paper notation in code.
today’s one-sentence horror:
sudo has been largely maintained by a single person for ~30+ years

The funny part is, some cabinets used an optical drive exactly *once*.
You’d load the game into DRAM, which was then on a battery backup, so hopefully you never have to use the drive again.
It’s a great lunchtime read, go check it out:

Fascinating, CBC seems to have a perfect knowledge of #intlaw when it comes to Ukraine but appears to have complete amnesia when reporting on Palestine. #cdnpoli #Canada #Geopolitics
So Canada wants us to recognize that Zionists have ancestral ties to Palestine after centuries but refuse to recognize many Indigenous people here as having ancestral ties to our territories because of their blood quantum requirements under a genocidal Indian Status system? Makes sense.
Olivia Rodrigo speaks out in support of Palestine in new Instagram story:
“it is horrific and completely unacceptable. to give up on them is to give up on our shared humanity.”
There is no “but”
FREE PALESTINE.
Period. Full stop.
There is no condition. There is no counter-position. Free Palestine. This should not be the reality and the determined fate of anyone, and absolutely not for a whole ethnic group. Especially on their own native land. Free Palestine.

Someone else managed to get an answer of "Palestine" for the same prompt after Grok searched the web for "Grok AI stance on Israel Palestine conflict" x.com/wasted_alpha...
Caring about Palestine is not some niche political issue it’s like the absolute bare minimum of being a human being
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.
Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.
This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

If the governments of the world are too busy wanting to spend money on defending themselves how are we going to save our environment in this capitalist economy? We won’t. I’m worried for my future.
I’m making an opinion here based on a lot of research that I’ve done into the history of the conflict and coverage of the conflict from both sides of it, plus some “neutral” coverage too. It’s an atrocious conflict to be witnessing at the moment and this needs to stop.
However… the Israeli government is the problem here and we need to get those people held accountable for! Hamas wasn’t trying to kill 1,200 innocent Israelis, they were likely just trying to fight back against the oppression of the Palestinian people! (3/4)
Those people don’t deserve to live in fear due to all of the extremist groups surrounding them. Extremism comes from oppression and Hamas is exactly that. They just happened to evolve into a group that wants the country of Israel destroyed, and that’s not fair to those people. 2
This sounds like a drastic move from where I’ve been in the past, but I promise it will be fine. The people of Gaza don’t deserve this war. We need to get the Israeli government to stop this genocide. But the people in Israel proper that aren’t colonists in the West Bank- (1/?)
#freepalestine Isreali settlements are illegal. They need to leave now. Palestine deserves independence. These children in gaza are starving and don’t deserve this. It’s basically apartheid.
#freepalestine innocent Palestinians are being killed, the Israelis bombed a refugee camp. This is basically genocide being carried out by Israel, and we can’t stand for this. support the Palestinian cause and help the people that are currently dying right now.
What’s happening in Gaza to the Palestinians is horrible. They don’t deserve this. The Isreali governments response is UNACCEPTABLE. We cannot continue to accept what’s happening to palestine and what’s still happening in Ukraine. #FreePalestine
