My cat is usually on my wife’s belly trying to comfort her at the first sign she’s upset. If she can’t get to her belly to calm her down, she paces around her yowling incessantly until she can.

I don’t think I’ll ever meet another cat as empathetic as her, tbh.

I dunno. The current state of the world might be making me more conspiracy-minded, but this feels like it was always part of the plan.

Introduce surveillance tech that Peter Thiel can use to spy/sell/whatever, announce that you’re using it, expecting people to get angry, and now in the 11th hour, after harvesting all the data they get to announce “we’re removing the evil software! We’re the good guys again!”

I recognize that the current state of affairs is having me see demons everywhere, but I just can’t bring myself to give discord a pat on the back.

Sorry, I only have a YouTube link for this: https://youtu.be/ROFblZ_-9q4

If you haven’t seen it, Wyse (Ring competitor) released a pretty funny ad about this.

Massie forgot to mention that he never stands close to windows in tall buildings.

Lies under oath. Again.

Why even put them under oath if you aren’t going to jail them for contempt?

Why is it unfair that it’s happening to you and not unfair when it’s happening to thousands of innocent immigrants?

This meme made me wonder if smoked coffee exists. If it does, I wonder what that would taste like.

Do people regularly get emails long enough to justify a summary button? I think I’ve seen those maybe once out every thousand emails I get.

Or is it summarizing the whole thread?

Bezos made that $70m from Melania back real quick

The hard part about the erosion of anti-trust laws over the last two decades is it’s really hard to do anything without supporting Amazon due to the sheer amount of things they own.
And even if you made the effort to avoid everything here first-hand, supporting a company whose backbone runs off of AWS ends up supporting Amazon second-hand.

I saw a video talking about the $50k bonus promised to new ICE sign-ups and how it wasn’t actually a bonus because it’s structured like a payday loan.

They receive the first $10k after 90 days if they remain in “good standing” (the actual requirements to meet this are unclear and could be something as simple as no write-ups, to something insane like “must make 8 arrests per day”). Every year for the next 4 years, they receive another $10k as long as they continue to qualify.

However, if at any time during these 5 years they lose “good standing” or do something else to disqualify themselves for the bonus, they have to pay it back. Again, it’s not clear how much they’ll have to pay back, but clawbacks are in the agreement they sign.

Who wants to bet that these ICE jockeys didn’t read the fine print before signing up?

Median isn’t average.

They use median in the article like it means average. So are they talking about the median age (the number in the middle of the dataset) or average?

You Europes measure car performance by comparing it to horses just like the rest of us. Don’t get all high and mighty now.

Innovate only when it’s necessary. In the meantime, perfect what exists.
