Did you see Matt’s disco lips? Definitely comedy.

You’re about a decade late to the party. WaPo is trash owned by a more boring Lex Luthor.

Is this a one-off or the beginning of a movement? Probably a one-off. We shall see.

A la Sin City, I love it.

Who watches the Watchmen?

We’ve done this 100% since we had kids. They are so effing loud.

Mine says it’s ok so I do it.

That judge sounds butthurt. I wonder who appointed him….

Well well well he was appointed by Carl E Stewart who was appointed by Slick Willy. Not what I expected.

In the actions page it lists three:

Tell your senators to confirm more judges - really? I need to tell them to do an obvious part of their job? Either they’re blue and they’re already doing that or they’re red and there’s no convincing them to go against their interests.

Take the pledge to vote against maga republicans - if you’re reading this site you already did that with negative effing results.

Regulate the use of AI in elections - weird choice of priorities but ok.

This masquerades as action but I don’t see any REAL action. We need to organize, plan, and execute real actions. Crash their parties, protest in front of offending politicians’ houses, 24/7 broadcasted surveillance of key offenders to apply real pressure to these wackos(if that’s legal, IANAL). If we keep doing what we’ve been doing we’ll keep getting the same results. We need to be large and loud and force our voices to be heard. We need our own news broadcasts calling them on their crap.

That new thing could be worse than the current thing without a plan to drive it to where we want to go.

90s UIs are fast. No fluff, mostly text.

Have those emissions results been verified by an independent third party?

I agree that at least on paper China is taking much stronger action than many other countries.

You have 72 hours to hide in the dark. If they smell you, you die. If you make it, you win a million dollars.

Good thing I have 72 hour deodorant!

That doesn’t matter in the US election system. You’re going to get Kamala or Trump, so pick the one that is more tolerable to you.

More effective is a massive understatement. Now they can precisely measure effectiveness and adjust their strategy in real time to maximize output. They have increased effective effectiveness several fold. The cat is out of the bag, even if we try to roll this back the googles of the world know the data is there and can’t not harvest it. Our best strategy has to combine regulation and monopoly busting, break these companies into smaller ones that have less power to comb through big data.

My garmin watch has a vibrating alarm that works for me. For about a month I woke up thinking some asshole was spamming text messages, but now I know what it is. I have yet to accidentally turn it off.

Many people care about policy, but it doesn’t always drive the way they vote.

Availability. You’re more likely to go potty when there’s a toilet, you’re more likely to eat when there’s food, etc.

I got pretty good at pulling sql data together from multiple tables using joins at a prior job, but no job before or since had data that easily accessible.

Here is a new metric we’ll use to improve fake voices.
