  • I liked ptaček better when he still knew he doesn't know everything.

  • ruh roh
  • no, you're not “left leaning”, also, “most people are stupid” is neither original nor true.

  • Hugging Face scrapes Bluesky, surprised when Bluesky users object
  • i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.

    i don't expect they will get anything more than a slap on the wrists, if at all.

  • the aggrieved attitude of “but i am a socialist” is really adorable.

  • Where's Your Ed At- The Cult of Microsoft
  • (it's programming dot dev again, isn't it?)

  • JD Vance outs himself as an SSCer, SSCers react
  • the problem is that you post things here, though i guess that by the time i'm commenting it has been alleviated.

  • the hackernewses whining that linus is so unfair in enacting legal sanctions against the russian who works in development for bomb components are comedy gold
  • stalinists, like pigeons, are gonna shit over every place where they congregate. it is a pity that they have half the brain and quarter of the cuteness of the pigeons though.

  • The walled marketplace of ideas: a statistical critique of SSC book reviews
  • tbh i would not call richard hanania “an ex-white nationalist”; he's a white supremacist through and through and never stopped, also, freddie deboer is as far to the left as the late unlamented gregor strasser, and probably much less.

  • NaNoWriMo gets AI sponsor, says not writing your novel with AI is ‘classist and ableist’
