To the #VoteBlue people in the USA: Yes, voting for the #Democrats _is_ necessary in all upcoming elections. But you also need to realize that the anger at the Democratic Party establishment is both real and entirely justified, and you should understand where that anger is coming from.
To quote the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail":
'First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.”'

I was just wondering how much it might cost to make my attic habitable, in case I need to Anne Frank a couple migrants to protect them from ICE.

The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color. https://dialed.gg/

3210. Eliminating the Impossible
3210. Eliminating the Impossible
title text: 'If you've eliminated a few possibilities and you can't think of any others, your weird theory is proven right' isn't quite as rhetorically compelling.

4 panel comic. 1. Hat is speaking with No hair. Hat says "As Sherlock Holmes said, when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." 2. Zoom in to No hair who replies "What about the possibility that you forgot to eliminate a possibility? Or that you eliminated one incorrectly? Both of those remain too." 3. Zoom back out. Hat replies "You're being pedantic. It's just a general rule for deduction." No hair retorts "But it's a bad rule." 4. No hair continues "How often have you thought, 'I can't find this thing, and I've searched the whole house. The only place I haven't looked is the car, so it must be there.'" Hat interjects "...and then it's never in the car" No hair finishes "It's never in the car!"

@RickiTarr The samurai were officially abolished as a caste in Japanese society during the Meiji Restoration in 1867.
The first ever fax machine, the “printing telegraph”, was invented in 1843.
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.
Which means there was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln.

Just because White people couldn't do it doesn't mean it was aliens. Images of Easter Island heads, a Nazca design of a hummingbird, the pyramids of Gaza, Teotihuacan, and the Mayan calendar.
I've been watching one of the devs on my team become a slightly worse programmer over the last few months, little by little, as he's been relying more and more on AI coding agents.
It's a real shame. He's actually a really good programmer. But as he's been using LLMs more and more, I see his code quality slowly declining. There are more bugs or just sloppy code in his PRs as time goes on. And his responses to comments on his MRs sound like they came straight from Claude Code.
I use some of the same tools he's using every day, but I'm using it to automate repetitive tasks and write my commit messages, and carefully reviewing everything written by the LLM. He, on the other hand, is writing out long multi-page prompts, handing them off to Claude Code, and then submitting the PR without careful review.
He thinks he's being more productive because he gets his PR out faster, but then spends a lot more time in review.
