I read this piece this morning ... it is worth reading..
The headline is misleading.
"Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done"
The "Everyone" here is more about other countries than about every human.
But that is a useful view because it highlights how trump has become an overt danger to all other countries.
The thought that crossed my mind was this: The leaders and people of those countries now have solid grounds to consider trump an e…

We had our dryer vent blown out yesterday. Not quite 3 years since the last time. Our vent’s only got about a 20-25 foot reach, and horizontal, but it still coughed up about a basketball-sized bolus of lint dust. If you have a dryer in your home, when was the last time you cleaned it out, or had it done? Distinct fire hazard as it fills up. It’ll also work more efficiently afterwards. #PSA

So.. I have a theory that burned-out coders prefer AI coding agents. Because at the point of burn-out (and beyond), you just stop giving a fuck. You might still like and enjoy your craft, but when it comes to your job (whether that's proprietary or free software), you just want to get through the day and get it done. And if an LLM helps you accomplish that, regardless of ethics or maintainability or boring button-mashing, so be it.

Trying out Jules, a coding agent from Google that is similar to Claude Code. But it's all hosted: you use a web UI to talk to it, it checks out code from GitHub and runs it in containers. And it operates asynchronously, you give it tasks and it comes back 5-15 minutes later with work done. I like it quite a bit, but there's a question whether the Gemini models are as good for coding as Claude.

Donald Trump does not think strategically.
Nor does he think historically, geographically, or even rationally.
He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later.
He does not think about how his behavior in one place will change the behavior of other people in other places.
He does not consider the wider implications of his decisions.
He does not take responsibility when these decisions go wrong.
Instead, he acts on whim and …

"To confront the Iranian regime was to walk, with a lit match, towards a tinderbox soaked in gasoline. If it were to be done at all, whether by military or other means, it had to be done with the greatest care. But Trump has blundered in, crushing and trampling all before him, making a bad situation worse. He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. He does not deserve his war to be assessed charitably.

Content warning: gun violence, nazi shit

On the first day of the #PTSD intensive, we talked about the shooting. I had felt like I was done with that, that it didn't have anything left for me. But there was something still that filled me with rage... that is still confusing and enraging.
It wasn't actually being shot. I wasn't even the possibility of death. I had been prepared to die. I always knew that was possible. It was something else.
I remember Marc Hokoana's face as he pepper sprayed pacifists, smiling and taunting, joyfully hurting people who he knew were refusing to respond. I remember their flags, the kek flag, literally a Nazi battle flag replaced in 4chan colors with the clover 4chan logo instead of the swastika. How many people have been tortured, have died? How much suffering, that these people not only welcomed but celebrated, joyfully participated in.
The cruelty was the point. It was the plan, the plan he posted to Facebook, the same plan as they have always had, of torturing people until someone responds and then murdering them. Inflicting trauma, responding with overwhelming force, showing how "big and strong" they are because they can always escalate.
Try to stop someone from peppers praying people, they shoot you. Shoot back, like Michael Reinoehl, and they send a death squad for you. But we keep standing up, so they keep escalating to the slightest imagined infraction. Now they just murder you for being in a car, for filming at a protest, for existing.
The bar for what justifies murder or torture will continue to move lower until there is no one left, or until they can no longer escalate.
The feeling of helplessness is still not the biggest thing though. It's the joy with which they inflict this on us. That's it. That's the thing.

White House economic adviser says Fed researchers should be punished
Kevin Hassett, a top economic adviser to Donald Trump, on Wednesday
assailed a study from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York finding that U.S. companies shoulder most of the costs of tariffs,
-- calling for the central bank to punish the researchers behind the work, which he characterized as an “embarrassment.”

“What they’ve done is they put out a conclusion, which has created a lot of news, that…

Right now is the ideal time for people with positions on the left end of the Overton Window to find offices to run for wearing a big blue D.
Anything. School board. State leg. County clerk. Sheriff.
If you want a real Left party in the US, the only serious strategy is to do to the Dems what the Fash have done to the GOP. Be the party. In the US, it really can be that simple.

"Austria’s military has already dumped Microsoft and moved to open-source services hosted in Europe, and some German regional governments have done the same. Danish schools were told to abandon Google laptops by the Danish data protection authority in 2024. The new Dutch government says digital sovereignty will be a national priority"

"Plenty of people saw Epstein for what he was and stayed far away. But for others, his proximity to the rich and the powerful were evidence that whatever he had done, it couldn’t be that bad. After all, look who he was dining with! The network made Epstein both legitimate and valuable. It enabled his abuses and, for a time, insulated him from their consequences."

Did 3 escape rooms at the Escaparium in Laval, outside Montreal. The wardrobe was one of the best escape rooms I had done and The Voodoo Queen was just as good.
But the 2.5 hour Magnifico was worlds beyond anything else. 3 live actors. Amazing set pieces. Well set up puzzles. Truly the undisputed best in the world. Travel to Montreal to do this!

Trump’s Fuck-ups have now become an ongoing, global humiliation of our once great country.
We cannot, and should not, sugar coat the gravity of what Trump has done.
He’s thrown the entire world into chaos.
Energy and food price shocks are coming for literally every person in the world.
This morning governments from all over the world are telling him to f*ck off, leaving America alone, weakened, humiliated.
Trump is a failed President.
Nothing he has d…

DAYNA: What's the matter?
VILA: There's something in my boot. [Takes out crystal] Look at that! It's Kairopan. I've just done my foot in on half a million credits worth of Kairopan. Couldn't have happened when I was down on my luck and looking for the price of a drink, could it?

Claude Sonnet 4.6 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from the classic BBC Television series **Blake's 7**, filmed outdoors on what looks like an open moorland or grassland location under a partly cloudy sky — a setting typical of the show's location shoots.

What has happened since then?
Rather than ramp up pressure on Russia to end its war in Ukraine, Trump has done the opposite:
-- rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska,
-- presented the Ukrainians with a peace deal (which was a Russian wish list),
-- and failed to support Ukraine in its fight for…

Every now and then, it's worth reminding yourself that every single crisis of Trump 2.0
-- the economic downturn, the chaos in our cities, the rising health crisis, the foreign wars
-- has been a direct result of their own actions.
If they'd done nothing at all, they'd be coasting comfortably.
