More broadly: you may have heard of this ideology referred to previously as “Christian Dominionism”. Which, imo, has been a clear and present existential danger to - and a strongly negative influence on - the integrity of American culture and politics since the Bush era.

I’m genuinely past caring at this point. This is the “find out” part. Enjoy the day you voted for, Texas.

Rich people:

we can’t freeze rents!

Renters:

why the fuck not?

Mamdani:

well, we can, actually.

Renters:

voting noises

Rich people:

sad capitalism noises

Or do, but understand the safe dosage thresholds and the long term usage implications, and act accordingly and with moderation to reasonably protect yourself if you engage in such activity.

You’re not going to lose your mind if you go to burning man and go on a bit of a bender. But you will probably lose your mind if you make party drugs a daily habit.

Huh. I see they’re shipping right past concentration camps and moving right to a concentration city.

That’s right - it’s the square hole.

Ahhh I see we’re getting to the “untermensch” phase

And/or the FSB

Honestly, it’s constituencies like Cruz’s that I have essentially zero sympathy for. The fact that he keeps getting reelected when he’s an extremely obvious limpdick, servile, malicious fascist is a reflection on the caliber of the voters across the state. So, hope you enjoy all those catastrophic weather events that are definitely not caused by totally-made-up-and-definitely-not-real-or-life-threatening climate change (/s because internet)

I genuinely cannot wait until Thiel gets his comeuppance, one way or the other.

It’s extremely context-dependent.

If we’re talking about enterprise-grade, five-nines reliability: I want the absolute simplest, bare-bones, stripped down, optimized infra I can get my hands on.

If we’re talking about my homelab or whatever else non-critical system: I’m gonna fuck around and play with whatever I feel like.

This is what I fight against every goddamn day, and I get yelled at for fighting against it, but I’m not going to stop. I want to build shit that I can largely forget about (because, you know, it’s reliable and logically extensible and maintainable) after it gets to a mature state, and I’m not shy about making that known. This has led to more than a few significant conflicts over the course of my career. It has also led to me saying “I fucking told you so” more than a few times.

Sullivan was the piece of shit that significantly slowed and diminished US aid to Ukraine since the new, active phase of the war started in February 2022. For that alone, he can go fuck himself.

Queer orangeboi supporters are a special and uniquely scintillating flavor of idiot.

Gettin some mixed signals from Spain lately, what with their refusal to hit defense spending targets

Hey have you seen the poop knife?
