OH: “AI programming tools have made the best programmer you know slightly more efficient, and the worst programmer you know infinitely more insufferable and dangerous.”

FUCKING CO-SIGNED (albeit more the latter point…extremely few of the best programmers I know are on board with this crap.)

Massive pipe rupture sends sewage into Potomac River near DC

A massive pipe rupture has sent sewage spilling into the Potomac River. The spill of about 40 million gallons of sewage a day is turning part of the river gray upriver of Washington, D.C. The utility, DC Water, is hooking up pumps to divert sewage around the rupture and allow crews to make repairs. It has cautioned people to stay out of the area and to wash their skin if exposed. The spill was caused by a 72-inch diameter sewer pipe that collapsed late Monday. Witnesses describe a horrific smell and sewage bursting out of the ground. The utility said says the spill is not a threat to public drinking water.

Current snow forecast for DC is for up to about 20" over the weekend, which is double the level at which cannibalism becomes temporarily legal under local law.

This is absolutely awesome! The @leavex campaign now has their website up an running, so we can see exactly which members of the EU parliament still support Musk's disinformation platform X, and avoid voting for them.

I hope @leavex expands to add every national parliament — the disinformation has to end.

Se their excellent overview here:

Please boost this to support the campaign.

Everyone in the US needs to set the expectation during the Dem primaries that we expect accountability. We aren’t looking for peace and reconciliation. We are looking for erasure of the Trump years, expunging of his minions from our government, prosecution of anyone who broke the law to support his nazi regime, and then, when that is done, enacting laws to make it much harder for the next fascist twerp to do this again.
