Hello fellow humans!

Before we go one last surprise. Our back and forth with app review was about providing users with a lifetime unlock option. Hopefully in the next day or two that will be approved and available in the app, but in the mean time you can purchase a lifetime unlock to use your own OpenAI token on Stripe. https://redpanda.club/short-circuit-lifetime-unlock

We truly hope you love Short Circuit, as much as you'll surely love our lil mascot Shorty. If you like 'em share 'em with your friends. (Hint, hint, the boost button. 🐘)

Fuck this guy. We have shootings pretty much every day. By this guys logic there will never be a time to talk about legislation. https://abcnews.go.com/US/nashville-school-shooting-updates/story?id=98197927

This is what Twitter looks like IRL.

Plants are holding up about as well at the website.

Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post ‘Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed

Hey you! You may be scrolling your feed, seeing the hatred spreading against queer people, women, and people of color, and asking yourself “what can I do besides expressing sympathy?”

Some material things, actually.
- become more educated on what’s happening around you.
- learn to discern the quality of news sources.
- stop giving your racist/sexist/homophobic friends and family members a pass. Make it so they know their behavior is unacceptable.
- if you can, donate to relief efforts to help save lives affected by hateful laws.

This is “allyship.”

Folks, I did it. I just submitted Short Circuit to the App Store. 🥲

A fully native app for ChatGPT with Siri and Shortcuts support, on iOS, iPad, and Mac. It took @Soroush and I only 19 days to build out the app and server, but I didn't skimp on the details. There's a lot you can do with the app, and even more features coming soon.

I'll share more information in the coming days, but I've been working 10-12 hour days for the last 3 days, so I'm going to take a nice walk and then get some rest.

They're not just fighting to deny the fundamental human rights of those people you don't like.

They're fighting against the very concept that anyone has fundamental human rights.

⚠️ This will one day bite you on the backside, too.

Be wary of any government trying to deny anyone their rights. It's just another way for them to put more power into their own hands.

If you think that politicians increasing their own power won't eventually impact your freedom as well, then you're a fool.

“once cities make the decision to reduce or remove cars, they rarely go back. No one I spoke to for this piece could name a recent sizable pedestrianization or traffic-reduction scheme that had been reversed once it had been given time to have an effect.”

People Hate the Idea of Car-Free Cities—Until They Live in One

Removing cars from urban areas means lower carbon emissions, less air pollution, and fewer road traffic accidents. So why are residents so resistant?
