I think there are some active things you can do to help. Give money to legal groups challenging unconstitutional actions. Write to your various federal reps to let them know how you feel. Be kind and supportive to those being targeted by

Parent is exactly right. There's already a scramble to pin the blame and some in the GOP are looking for DEI: https://bsky.app/profile/andylevy.net/post/3lgxsd35fhs2i

She makes some decent points but a lot of this feels like the age-old argument of "$SOMETHING_NEW was fun and exciting when I was young and now it's all turned to shit."

I'd rephrase this to: don't be loyal to work but be loyal to your coworkers. Be the person everyone wants to work with.

Standing up for neo-nazi opinions is in no way admirable. I don't think you mean to but these apologies normalize supremest ideologies.

Before the bonkers immunity decision I would have agreed with this. Since then, though, I don't trust SCOTUS on any decision that involves conservative policy. This may come up sooner than expected; Trump has issued an EO attempting

I have a friend who sees what he thinks is a problem and starts off with "I don't know why they just didn't...", as if he could come up with a better solution in 2 minutes of thinking than experts in the field. The re

Possibly Ralph meant that JD Vance wrote the forward to Roberts' latest book: https://newrepublic.com/article/184393/jd-vance-violent-fore... Vance has a lot of strong ties to project 2025 and Trump chose him

Tolkien created such a massive world. Languages, mythology, genealogies, and thousands of years of history. We are richer for it.

In my very un-expert opinion this seems like a good case for shorting the stock.

I am absolutely sure it's not deliberate because Musk renamed it to x.com. He's been looking to use that name for years and he wouldn't have renamed Twitter if he was planning on destroying it. No, I think it's easier t

I tried doing this with a Thinkpad but the BT connection would cut out periodically and I gave up. Did you have to do anything special to get it working?

It's not just the software. I have Ubuntu on a 2017 MBP and the touch pad experience is so much better than linux on anything else.

The article indicates that inflation is accounted for: "Even in the face of rising prices, low-wage workers have experienced historically fast real wage growth."

It's interesting that the author mentions quitting as a way to exercise agency over their life. It's like a healthier version of anorexia.

I've been under the impression that putting the motor on the wheels increases gyroscopic forces which can cause handling problems.

I'm in complete agreement with you. What job category has more employees than software engineering coupled with better pay and working conditions? That doesn't mean we can't be miserable (and I've gone through a few bou

For those who like to tie together different contexts, this incident is briefly mentioned in the recent film Oppenheimer. (Which, much to my surprise and delight, is pretty good history for a Hollywood movie.)

I think this largely explains it, along with a desire for the UX designers doing something new and "modern". This explains a lot of user-unfriendly changes in other areas, too. I worked for a prominent travel web company and the

It has little, if anything, to do with the water. Ice made in a freezer is cloudy because of air bubbles. There are techniques for making clear ice using directional freezing. Here's one way: https://altonbrown.com/r

The FDA made a clarifying statement about ivermectin. Some conservative groups claim this validates it as a treatment and that the FDA lied. It's bunk. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/11/fda-did-not-change-po

This sounds like another way of saying that all presidents are above the law and should never be prosecuted, which seems... problematic. If Trump's actions are not worthy of prosecution then what could a president possibly do to get a

I'm astounded that the MSM seems to be ignoring this ATM. I did a Google news search on LK-99 and saw nothing from major publications. A search on the NYTimes returned an article from 1974.
