Nothing I’m trying to write is "flowing"...it's all laborious.
I'm encouraged by "Your labor isn’t a sign of defeat" from @… wherein she quotes Verlyn Klinkenborg:
"if you accept that writing is hard work, And that’s what it feels like when you’re writing, Then everything is as it should be. Your labor is…

It all fits. Suppose you’re corporate leadership. You’re laying people off / refusing to hire because you have no clue what things will look like even 1 or 2 years in the future, and you are •terrified•.
Meanwhile, your investors, your gullible trend-chasing investors, are already mentally dividing companies into “pre-AI” and “post-AI.” And not only do you have no idea how to be “post-AI,” but you have no idea whether you’ll be solvent next year. What do you tell them?!??
Obviously you tell them you’re not hiring because you’re having such incredible success with AI! Maybe even you’re going to lay off all the senior people! They’ll love that!
Now you’re not failing and flailing — you’re leading the march into the future! Yay!

The fuck do you people want? I wrote you software that didn't exist, filling a niche that was entirely neglected on Linux, and gave it to you gratis en voor niks, and put it in the public domain. It does exactly what it needs to, nothing more. I get five for my trouble? A FIVE!?
*sigh*

The real magic is learning a few tricks from those performance talks (like switching from walltime to measure to measuring throughout, a nice mental model change, among others), how easy flamegraphs have become in Instruments, and how good the UI to support it has become.

Finally, with a hundred thousand dead, two thirds of the buildings bombed, all the hospitals and infrastructure destroyed, more than a million people on the verge of starvation, and Israel's leadership even more openly bragging about their intent to ethnically cleanse the area, it's gone on "too long".
Well done Lammy and Starmer. You finally noticed eh?
So trade deal talks are off, and weapons export licenses are... Well. We'll see. "Always Under Review" they say.
And the main reason for the slight and tiny change in emphasis? Mostly Trump. They are following Trump. They feel easier criticizing Israel's genocide now Trump looks easier with it.

I'll be damned
With the fear in us
We chose the violent side of things in all
We always have chosen blood and gore above others
I'll be damned
With the fear in us
We walk with silent mouths throughout it all
We believe what we think we saw, it's coming
Unforeseen, the violence of this dream
This nightmare we conceived
The falling of this world we try to kill
Instead these empty words
Fills up th…

It's the #DayOfZeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday! ⚡

On many issues, Americans are deeply polarized.
War with Iran isn’t one of them.
An Economist/YouGov poll of U.S. adults taken in the days after Israel’s attack last Friday found that Democrats opposed entering the conflict by a margin of 50 points and Republicans opposed entering it by a margin of 30 points.
Given these numbers, you might think Democratic leaders would be doing everything they can to prevent President Trump from striking Iran without the approval of Cong…

I cannot stress enough the stupidity of e.g. "ACAB" and "ABOLISH THE POLICE"
Get out of your feelings and get into your strategy -- it is undeniably true that there is a SEVERE need for police reform
But, tell me, who escorted ICE away from Dodger Stadium?
