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!

Series C, Episode 06 - City at the Edge of the World
DAYNA: You should have killed them.
AVON: Probably.
CALLY: They could sleep through a war.
TARRANT: That's good, because if it is Bayban down there, a war is what we'll have.

I wanna make some cool hardware stuff but idk what to make aaaaaaa ;-;
Ideally it should be something useful or really really cool
I have two old Arduino Unos at home, but I’d be open about getting some pipicos or esp32 or something.
Extra points if it requires some soldering to put my iron to good use :3
(tho while ordering custom PCBs is cool (feel free to send cool stuff that use them), getting them shipped here is quite expensive I think)
Any recommendations?

“Obama’s Prophetic Voice Has Never Been More Needed
Dare we hope for audacity?
As various leaders call for resistance against Trump’s march to dictatorship, one prophetic voice has been missing in action. Barack Obama, before he was president, was a professor of constitutional law. He understands the stakes better than anyone. He also knows how to give a powerful and inspiring speech….”

Les papillons ne meurent pas de vieillesse
Je me souviens de la première fois où j’ai découvert « Le tueur » de Matz, il y a plusieurs années de cela.
J’avais été captivé par la qualité du scénario du premier tome, si bien écrit et si efficace que j’ai immédiatement emprunté tous les autres volumes Š la bibliothèque et les ai dévorés d’une traite ou presque.

Trump’s fundamental problem:
He and his White House seem to think that the cost of their policies
— the fallout from their effort to mold the country to fit their nativist and mercantilist obsessions
— are indirect.
Who cares about a few thousand protesters in Los Angeles or even a few million undocumented immigrants out of the more than 340 million people in the United States?
But the reality is that to harden the border and more tightly police immigration
