The Epstein Class believes that providing citizens with enough money to live a decent life while not requiring them to work will spoil them and turn them into useless marshmallows with toxic ideas, anti-social behaviors, and will actively tear at the social fabric.

Many experiments in Universal Basic Income have proven this to NOT be the case.

However, empirically, it turns out that giving someone 50 billion dollars causes them to cease making useful contributions to society, turns them into useless marshmallows with toxic ideas, anti-social behaviors, and they actively tear at the social fabric.

The US is removing Russian sanctions, and now the EU wants to repair the pipeline from Russia to Hungary so Orbán can finance Putin's war.

Political pragmatism is our modern plague.

If there is going to be a talking filibuster over the save act, the Dems need to read Epstein files that mention Trump into the record for the entire time.

Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

This Afroman trial is giving me life.

Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.

He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.

- Opens pull request with 19k added lines of code written with Claude Code.
- Claims he reviewed them all.

Even if that were true and even if he hadn't used any AI, I would shout that guy out of the room.

Pray that this PR doesn't get merged.

Edit: A PR this large is a nightmare, even when it doesn't contain LLM-generated slop. You want many small PRs that are 1) easy to understand/review and 2) easy to revert if it turns out they contained a bug. 3) git bisect, a tool to find the commit that introduced a bug, works best with many atomic commits. Git bisect becomes useless with a commit that big, since it can't narrow down the origin of the bug. The people who approved this atrocity are bad software engineers. Even calling them bad "engineers" is an insult to actual engineers.

So after 16 months of illness I'm back on my feet and applying to jobs, but I'm completely broke and the combination of car+power+storage for 6 people is due, with a lot of late fees added in.
I'm sorry to ask, but any amount would help. Thanks so much!
