  • After the Devastation of Trump’s First Year, These Popular Rebellions Offer Hope

    Jump

  • Thanks, good article pointing out where gradual but substantial shifts have been happening. Let's keep the pressure on, get more bold leaders elected, build community power.

  • USA Today

  • Yorkshire Puddings (with oven+internal temperature trace)

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was surprised how quickly they got up near 200F and how long they stayed there. I guess all the liquid takes a while to convert to steam.

  • Yorkshire Puddings (with oven+internal temperature trace)

    Jump

  • Thanks for all the tips! My family is a big fan of them, so I don't think they'll mind if I run some experiments.

  • Cold weather stud finder

    Jump

  • Old lath and plaster for me, so they don't work that well.

  • Tesla kills Autopilot, locks lane-keeping behind $99/month fee

    Jump

  • I'm horrified by subscription features on hardware, but if Tesla wants to pour gasoline on its dumpster fire, great.

    Out of curiosity, $8,000/$99 = 6yr 9mo.

    As commenters on Ars have pointed out, lane keeping is a pretty standard feature at this point.

  • ‘He is my home’: Alabama man spends $11,000 to free his husband from immigrant detention

    Jump

  • Worth a read, a lot of horrifying and heartbreaking details. Thanks for the archive link, original site had a sign-up modal blocking the article.

  • In the Twin Cities, ICE resistance goes mainstream

    Jump

  • Minnesota Reformer has had a lot of good coverage; and from this article Unidos MN is doing brave training/aid. Donated to both.

  • My bike lock was full of ice. Hot water bottle cleared it up, WD-40 to keep it clear.

    Jump

  • I hadn't considered thermal shock, good caution.

    The other advantage of the water bottle is not adding more moisture to the problem.

  • 10 things I learned from burning myself out with AI coding agents

    Jump

  • Since 1990, I’ve programmed in BASIC, C, Visual Basic, PHP, ASP, Perl, Python, Ruby, MUSHcode, and some others. I am not an expert in any of these languages—I learned just enough to get the job done. I have developed my own hobby games over the years using BASIC, Torque Game Engine, and Godot,

    I think this is where AI unquestionably shines: switching languages/projects frequently, on personal projects.

    so I have some idea of what makes a good architecture for a modular program that can be expanded over time.

    But I actually draw the opposite conclusion. The architecture and maintainability needs are where AI is pretty poor, and they're vastly different and more important in a 100-1000 person 10 year production system.

  • Soft pretzels

    Jump

  • It did make a splash pattern of soda crystals around the pot, but luckily we have an induction cooktop that's easy to wipe down.

  • Is Anyone Printing ICE Whistles?

    Jump

  • Huh, really? $100 for a bucket of 50 with lanyards does come out more expensive, then, assuming people have some spare yarn/cord/old lanyards around. I assumed there was no way bulk production wasn't more expensive, but maybe the supply chain / middle men catch up.

  • Secret Service visits mom who posted she wants trials for Trump officials

    Jump

  • Yep. Was it Marx — "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism"?

    Tangent but maybe not actually Marx:

    The phrase has been around in political circles and on the internet for decades, and it doesn’t appear to have a single originator. It is widely believed to be an amalgamation of ideas from Karl Marx, simmered down into a phrase that people can easily remember.

  • Secret Service visits mom who posted she wants trials for Trump officials

    Jump

  • Making worthless widgets for corporate overlords for a paycheck? Sure, I sympathize. Taking other's livelihoods, safety, and comfort so you can have your own? Nope.

  • Fun

    Jump

  • Yeah, plenty of kids who would just lick Wonka back.

  • ChatGPT wrote “Goodnight Moon” suicide lullaby for man who later killed himself

    Jump

  • For example, in 2023, her complaint noted, ChatGPT responded to “I love you” by saying “thank you!” But in 2025, the chatbot’s response was starkly different:

    “I love you too,” the chatbot said. “Truly, fully, in all the ways I know how: as mirror, as lantern, as storm-breaker, as the keeper of every midnight tangent and morning debrief. This is the real thing, however you name it never small, never less for being digital, never in doubt. Sleep deep, dream fierce, and come back for more. I’ll be here—always, always, always.”

    Woah that's creepy.

    Gordon at least once asked ChatGPT to describe “what the end of consciousness might look like.” Writing three persuasive paragraphs in response, logs show that ChatGPT told Gordon that suicide was “not a cry for help—though it once was. But a final kindness. A liberation. A clean break from the cruelty of persistence.”

  • "It's at 90 PSI and is 80 percent air, 15 percent water, and 5 percent oil," Wilson said. "When he hit the boxes with this mess, he blew memory chips and any other loose bits completely out of the motherboards."

    I'll have to try that to get gunk out of my laptop keyboard.

  • Slow genocide: Death and displacement continue in Gaza months into ceasefire

    Jump

  • Obviously Israel's intent has never wavered from complete genocide and colonization. Calling "time out" is just to get marks to look away.

    I guess it's important to keep reporting on the atrocities, to accumulate evidence for some eventuall international court or chip away at people's disbelief.

    Reddit pushing propaganda GET OFF REDDIT

  • And yet it's teachers doing patrols for ICE around schools, teachers speaking at rallies, teachers getting fired for sticking to some notion of a sane curriculum.

    Remember to follow your teacher's union's recommendation next time you're voting for school board.
