Yes as everyone loves to retort, the planet will survive! We might not, the current ecosystem wont, no one and nothing we love or care about or cherish is likely to. But a very lovely species of bug may at some point look down and marvel at

You know, I didn't expect the Insider Trading Casinos to be quite so brazenly evil. I really thought they'd have wanted to keep a lower profile, and not appear so urgently in need of being regulated or sued out of existence. They

Was there a good reason not to build there? It seems at a glance like we should have just built the turbines, not paid off or stiffed them. Since we seem to desperately need more energy, currently expanding with every other short term high

..... are you serious? We could have been more directly helping Ukraine already if that was the admin's priority, instead of expending $165B (so far) on a bumbling losing sidequest invading Iran. What an insane proposition. This admin

Actions is one thing, that seems like a difficult, dynamic and bursty thing to host, even before the Vibe Cambrian Explosion. And _nothing_ at scale is easy... But Pages? The static sites? Down for so many hours? Oof.

Do US markets (Amazon) hold any responsibility for what shady companies and their insecure products they enable to sell here, I wonder? Does our government, for import?

And that cost was not enough? We needed more investment into hard power head cracking policing, and reduced soft power community policing?

It was a preppy frat bro look of the mid-aughts. It got pretty ridiculous. I had a few people in my classes that would do 4+ layers and show up looking like an artichoke. https://www.verdalina.com/blogs/journal/the

Yes I don't really bother to call out AI images or writing, I tend to just block the domain and not look back. Maybe a few strikes if the content is otherwise substantial, but it's a very easy and reliable smell so far.
