Why would Iran want Trump dead in such a foolhardy way? If you assassinate him you galvanize the US in its resolve while removing the bozo at the top? The US has lost, Iran controls the strait now and forever; the longer Trump is in the gre

English teachers around the world have loathed that "The curtains were blue" meme, and are absolutely right to do so, but what happens when you ask what an author meant by the blue curtains and the answer is a fairly definitive &q

Unionization of the industry is long long overdue, if for no other reason than professional ethics. A small town lawyer can fuck up paperwork badly enough that they lose their ability to practice law. A software engineer can fry the brains

I think back to the first covid lockdowns. All of society was reorganized in a matter of weeks! Oil is worth negative money if they don't make us consume it! Work from home became mainstream, it turns out all those people with anxiety

Its simply unreal that the EU is pushing that in order to participate in society that I must accept the TOS of Google or Apple. God help you if you need to try and fix a serious problem. Sorry, you loaded a video of the first dance of your

This is unironically why the AGPL3 is the best license. No need to worry about "virality" or derivative works or any of that, just set it and forget it. On top of that, corporations will avoid you like the plague, ensuring that yo

If they were really concerned, they'd be doing something about the algorithmic feeds pumping right wing vitreol into everything and Elon constantly begging for race wars to start. It's very obviously not about the children.
