Even if we believe this one artist is a complete moron, are we supposed to believe there was no one among the people setting up the parade and float that recognized the words? Or didn’t and did a web search to figure out what the message was?

No directive for profits or long term competitiveness, just share price. The whole system is just a big casino following social trends rather than any core fundamental goal to drive society towards better and less expensive services.

But the video and audio are still available, as of this writing, on Bluesky.

Left-wing new-corp Twitter!

Making a comment about a supposed scientific error from post title alone is even stupider.

Agreed, this is a dumb comment that has no relation to the study being done, only some study they imagined in their mind.

People love to second guess scientific studies like they’re set up by complete fucking morons with no review or oversight. Truly their 10 seconds of amateur brilliance is going to see the trivial flaw no one among the team of people doing this as their actual job noticed. If something sounds obviously wrong in a science article, the source of that wrongness is almost certainly either the author of the article or you.

It would be incredibly ironic if a crazy insurrectionist fought back against “the left” by going after the centrist obstructionists currently failing the party. They should be thanking the fates that in this time of crisis inertia and corruption have saddled is with such losers as Jeffries and Schumer.

Bari Weiss didn’t have a bright career ahead of her if she just dodged this gig. Her career is being a professional stooge for conservatives, not rising on merit as a journalist and leader. This is exactly the next step and she’s getting a ton of money for it (from them buying her trash blogging site for far more than it was worth).

No, a court temporarily barred national guard from being sent to Portland. Going there is currently an illegal order.

This sounds like one of those clear cut “illegal orders” the military oaths are supposed to protect us from.

They don’t even claim she fired it, that might be expected to produce evidence, just that she had one.

ICE claims that. Who knows what reality is. They’re quick to pull out phones one on one to try to intimidate hecklers, but somehow this event wasn’t recorded?

Take this disruption as a moment to reflect on whether you really want to come into this shit show as a non-citizen.

If we’re going to resort to the statistics of small numbers and ignore all the other shared traits that lead to the failure of two neoliberal campaigns by uncharismatic candidates trying to be the Democrat for Republicans, then the only correct demographic to choose is a black man with a Muslim sounding name. It’s a guaranteed success.

Does that strike you as maybe not the best reasoning?

YOU are the one causing the division! JFC, dropping in, saying “no women” and then complaining about division is just incredible.

The “they’re just sexist, that was the problem” isn’t just some random observation from people trying to just figure out what works. It’s an intentional campaign to scapegoat women for losses caused by the political class who keep trying to run the same campaign and failing.

They’re not coming with hyper-cautious analyses saying “no women, no abandoning the base, no campaigning with Republicans, no timid neoliberal policies”. They’d still be wrong, but at least that would seem like a legit attempt by a simple mind to avoid anything that might possibly be a weakness. Instead they just stop with the first. They’re looking for a scapegoat, because all those other factors were getting pretty unpopular in the party and they desperately needed some other explanation.

Weird how you guys always focus on the ladybits as the unifying factor between Clinton and Harris losing and not their shitty campaigns to the center and inability to have a single authentic moment.

It’s a convenient excuse that means the establishment, with its 20% approval rate and record of abject failures both electorally and in countering Republican messaging, doesn’t need to change a single thing that might upset the donor class that has caused them to inexplicably cling to positions 70+% of the party do not hold.

I graduated in that rough time period and also felt like I was great, but realistically my institution didn’t really prepare me for most of the things you actually do on a software coding team. Sure, we had a course on software engineering and we’d had some demanding solo projects, but most of our coursework was computer science rather than software engineering.

And my first job was actually in a researchy role with small teams and manageable process. Now I don’t think I was an actual drain on company resources, but I definitely recognized that a lot of what I did day to day wasn’t something that I was already well prepared for. Certainly it could have been done much faster by a senior employee though, so any task assigned to my was done so with the knowledge that it would take longer and benefit from some oversight, but that would be worthwhile to grow the company.

I feel like all fresh out of school employees are productivity drains. But the profession doesn’t get experienced employees without hiring inexperienced people and training them, so it’s worth doing a little on-the-job training to make them useful, otherwise you end up in the state you’re describing where you want experienced devs and there aren’t any.

It’s what Charlie would have wanted, don’t focus on his death, carry on his life of racist hate.

Getting the information in the first place is a targeted search. Unless Apple goes full collaborator they will require a court order. They have already made the decision (for whatever reason) to target you.

It’s still a targeted search, which may be bullshit but isn’t a trawling operation. If they’re targeting you, a demerit for simply having ICEBlock installed is the least of your worries. And if Apple goes full collaboration, then any “improper” app install is going to be a danger regardless of whether it’s pushing.
