If I wanted to make money and didn't mind doing a painful job, I reckon I'd start a company specialising in cleaning up code left over from abortive attempts to axe half your coding team and just get your juniors to do it all with LLMs. Growth industry, I reckon.

In 1919 someone famous said this:

“I cannot understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes”

He was the government minister for war, and he was talking about the Middle East (Kurds and Afghans).

It was Winston Churchill. Not much has changed. The disregard for human life continues.

I worked for a game studio that was bought by and wrecked by a crypto company.

This looks like it's going to be seriously cathartic to watch.

I'm 2 seasons into Lost and at this point the plot twists are so stupid I expect by season 4 it'll be like "it turns out Jack is just a figment of everyone's imagination created by Hurley's acid reflux, which was caused by a secret gang of ninjas on the island."

Went to a zine fair and it was one of the most surprisingly excellent, wholesome things I've done in a while.

Got me itching to make a zine which is... precisely now what I need right now (another creative project).

As the mist swept across Glastonbury Tor, the crescent moon was rising. Taken about 45 minutes before sunrise this morning.

A white MAGA man shot & killed his daughter because she criticized Trump. Why is no one asking the questions they'd ask if he was Black, brown, immigrant, or Muslim?🧐

For example:
•Where was he radicalized?
•Why is their culture so violent?
•Is this what they call "honor killing?"
•Why won't they assimilate to our values?
•What radicalism are they teaching in their churches?
•Was he here legally from Europe or was he an illegal?
•Did you know they cite their Bible to command women to be silent?

The image below is of Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D, WA3) US Congresswoman from SW Washington. In between the murder of Renee Good on 7 January and the murder of Alex Pretti on 24 January, Gluesenkamp was one of 7 Dems who voted to fund ICE. The bill would not have passed without them.

She and her husband own Dean's Car Care on NE Lombard in Portland.
