Keep them coming. I hope the Pretti and Good’s families are taking notes.

By the way, they are also open to slander and/or libel along with the media that tries to pass off their lies as the truth.

None of this brings your loved ones back, but it is still very much worth doing anyway. These people are scumbags and any dollar you can take from them is a dollar they can’t use to do further harm. Hit these asshole Trump losers in the only way they understand: their “taxpayer dollars.”

Say goodbye to Col. Lockjaw, everyone.

May the Christmas Adventurers Club give him a nice private office to celebrate his retirement!

Even if, as I put it in my other reply to a similarly limp dicked Atlantic article, you’re so late to the party that the caterers that were hired for it were deported by ICE months ago.

The Atlantic continues its role as the rag of choice for hand-wringing, neo-liberal stupidity with this piece. Its content is a constant stream of bad takes by people that have fundamental misunderstandings of the way power and politics have or would ever work making fanciful predictions that betray a Disney princess’s understanding of America, history, and geopolitics.

I read some amount of free Atlantic articles because their RSS feed – probably unbeknownst to them – provides a large amount of their magazine to you for free. Despite this, I find them to be fundamentally unserious and often not even worthy of the small amount of ad-free attention I pay to their writing, nor the effort to swipe their articles out of my feed. Without looking at the header, I could likely tell 100% of the time that what I’m reading is an Atlantic article, because the consistent tone of their contributors – who are seemingly vetted by the editorial staff to guarantee that only the most lame-brained, navel-gazing positions will ever be published.

Just today, I read a piece of theirs by someone who thought it was important to dedicate such a large amount of nuance and verbiage to a discussion of whether or not Trumpism could be categorized as a form of fascism that he published at least a thousand words in what was practically a lengthy description of the odor over time of his own flatulence. All of this flowery bullshit purely to conclude how it was time – finally time – to say out loud that Trump is a fascist.

Like not only are you so late to the party that the caterers that were hired for it were deported by ICE months ago, but who fucking cares what you call it you stupid, pedantic fuck?

To return to a discussion about this specific Disney princess prediction posted here, the police will “collide” with ICE agents in the exact same way they haven’t at all in previous days and weeks. The best you can hope for is that the police will not eventually collaborate with Trump’s paramilitary and help brutalize the people of this country, and even that is something of a long shot.

It still has to pass the Senate as far as I know. I find it unlikely that it won’t, but maybe if folks pressure the senators enough they can at least delay it. Either way, folks should pressure the shit heel senators.

Kenneth Walker shot police and Kenneth Walker was not only in the right, he was adjudicated on the matter and found not guilty by a jury of his peers:

Masked, warrantless federal thugs that are indistinguishable from home invaders will eventually be shot or even killed. There are reasons that the police operate the way they do, and they are usually not out of the good of their heart.

Grumpy Trumpy took a 'lil dumpy, right in his pants, and then did a little dance.

I don’t care if AI is useful, it’s not this useful. And it sure as shit isn’t going to see the returns they expect.

And how. Making coders slightly more efficient really just isn’t worth this much. There’s also going to be hell to pay when software created by all of the vibe-coding is found to be full of security holes.

They want to pitch this as unemployment causing efficiency gains, but this shit clearly can’t do anyone’s job that wasn’t already automatable through regular software.

I wasn’t saying that’s all it is. I was and am saying that that’s why and how a large portion of people use it.

There is a lot of usefulness in simple data structures with a GUI over top. That’s why the data structures were invented in the first place. People–especially in software product management–are insistent that the complicated features are what keep people using software, even when it’s obviously untrue.

It’s not 100% of it, but it’s a large portion.

Excel isn’t replaced because your company already bought it. There are many alternatives to Excel and most of them are acceptable to the overwhelming majority of people who use Excel (people using it for tables and basic graphs) and none of them have displaced Excel.

I mean look at Word. It absolutely sucks and yet it’s standard anyway. Same with Outlook.

It’s just a generic table / matrix thing mostly. Turns out tables are a good way to lay out a bunch of different information.

Somehow nobody has made a similar generic application to allow you to work with nested list, outline, or tree style structures, which I think are equally if not more useful structures to lay out certain types of information.

Good.

In any sane country, sure, but we’re well beyond that at this point.

Yes.

Stopping the weaponization of the Justice Department (41% to 21%)

This point alone is so obviously bullshit that it’s likely just another one of their attempts at crazy making.

In addition to “going too far”, he’s also too far gone.

Easily could change and the state could put together an escrow account. It’s “UNpRECeDENtEd” but WTF isn’t nowadays besides a congress full of spineless do nothings?

Trump discovers a new level of loserdom daily.

I wonder if the name Ecco has to do with John C. Lilly.

I have to say it’s probably the only way you’ll ever get any kind of bulk rename out of a Microsoft OS.
