No one else has been invading the airspace of countries near Russia. No one else has been making it a habit to send drones in and then pretend it wasn’t them. Why would Sweden send drones over Denmark? Or Norway? Or Germany? Or Poland? Or Finland? None of its direct neighbors are at odds with them or experiencing any military tensions with them.

There is exactly one regional power that believes it has a claim on the territories of all its neighbors, and all their neighbors: Russia.

It’s Russia. No one seriously believes Sweden or anyone else in the region is sending drones to military installations and airports.

Are you joking? Of course they were Russian. This soon after the previous batch were shot down, who else would they be from?

Russia really is trying to start WWIII.

It always is with these guys.

Yeah, I’m thinking this case gets tossed, with prejudice, within the next 48 hours.

Way ahead of you on the savings part, but how are you buying land in Canada without being a Canadian citizen?

Yeah, damn. He looks like he’s at least ten years older than that.

I don’t, I fucking live here and I’d like my money to be worth something next week!

I’m guessing the user you’re responding to is thinking of things like a general strike.

Fair point. Add it to the list!

Hey, Disney shareholders! Wanna know what’ll get us to start watching Marvel movies or Star Wars or Pixar again? I’ll bet you do! And it’ll be easy.

Just demand the resignations of any person who decided to bow to fascism. Give them all the boot. Show them the door. Then bring in folks who actually give a shit about whether or not this country remains viable as a place to do business beyond this fucking quarter. Oh, and while you’re at it, get some diversity, equity, and inclusion going on.

Who are you worried about losing by doing that? Right-wing conservatives? They already hate you, and watch Veggie Tales instead! Stop trying to cater to people who think your whole business model - depicting strong princesses for kids - is evil incarnate because they’re not barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Ball’s in your court, Disney!

That’s the thing that actively pisses me off the most. The right has been fucking monsters when it comes to their reactions to violence like that. Absolute, psychopathic, proudly hypocritical monsters, willing to joke about an elderly man being assaulted in his home because he happened to be the husband of a Democrat. And silence when asked about whether urging their sick followers to commit violence might be leading their sick followers to commit violence.

And the murders that took place in Minnesota a few months ago? Jokes and silence there, too.

But a late-night comedian says something that isn’t even disrespectful or in any way condones violence, just acknowledges the kind of person Kirk was… and they lose their fucking minds.

Always remember this, folks: It’s all performative. They don’t actually care. They know Kimmel didn’t say a goddamn thing that could be interpreted as support for violence. They know.

Dude, time is stopped. You can keep going until you want time to start again. And I’ve got a list for you:

• Every single kiddy diddler? Suddenly in prison, with piles of evidence of their crimes.
• You can solve every missing persons report where anyone is still alive. It’ll take you a while, but you’ve got the “time.”
• Every bribe of every politician - and especially justices of the Supreme Court - exposed with thorough documentation.
• Go around and erase all medical debt and all student debt. All of it. Use some of Elon’s money to do it.
• Find and reunite families that were split up by Trump’s family separation policies.
• Cut Russia off from the internet entirely. They’ve demonstrated that they’re not ready to join the broader civilized community. Pay special attention to permanently offlining the “Internet Research Agency.”

I’m sure I could come up with more.

40 dollars? That’s all? I’m salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I’m logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.

Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.

Not even that. If they were pro-birth, they’d at least be in favor of easy access to prenatal healthcare. But they’re always opposed to that, too.

They’re just pro-pregnancy. They don’t give a shit if a woman’s pregnancy is viable or not, let alone whether carrying the fetus to term will kill the woman or not.

With shit like this going on, right-wingers who pretend it’s the left censoring speech can fuck themselves sideways with a pineapple.

17 months, 25 days of fucking around, followed by five days of hurriedly entering prompts into ChatGPT?

After working on a team that uses LLMs in agentic mode for almost a year, I’d say this is probably accurate.

Most of the work at this point for a big chunk of the team is trying to figure out prompts that will make it do what they want, without producing any user-facing results at all. The rest of us will use it to generate small bits of code, such as one-off scripts to accomplish a specific task - the only area where it’s actually useful.

The shine wears off quickly after the fourth or fifth time it “finishes” a feature by mocking data because so many publicly facing repos it trained on have mock data in them so it thinks that’s useful.

In our case, there are enough upper management folks who are opposed to it that I doubt it will last or ever be enforced. For people like me, it really doesn’t make any sense to enforce it in the first place, because all of my teammates are in other states and countries.

Making me go to the office just means you can’t schedule early meetings with me, because I’ll be commuting during that time.
