I’ve recently switched from a Java-exclusive team to a Python-exclusive one, and this is the one thing I truly miss: An actively-maintained library for clear, extensible, fluent assertions. Being back to the likes of assertEquals is fine and all, but not as powerful or concise.

Wake me when actually they do something about it.

The tea leaves were really easy to read here. All the information was out there. They voted for this. They get to suffer like the rest of us.

Fuck me, I almost ate the onion, too. I read it, and for a second honestly believed that, yeah, he would do that as a “I got away with everything” flex.

Yay! I can finally afford a hous-… and Blackrock just bought it out from underneath me…

Let’s end the hypocrisy of blaming illegal immigrants every societal ill—while benefitting from their cheap and compliant labor—and staying silent about the complicity of employers’ role in the whole process. Raid workplaces. Deport illegal immigrants if that makes you feel better. But, absolutely imprison those business owners for aiding and abetting.

I find this “retribution” thing very quaint…

“Retribution” for being held to the same standards as the rest of us. “Retribution” for being punished for violating the rules we’re all under. “Retribution” for being called to account for acting like awful people.

There is nothing that has been done to them that does not stem from their own, poor behavior—a completely self-fixable concern.

See, the problem with all of these ideas is that they’re at odds with the billionaires’ vision that you slave away in servitude to them, while their imaginary worth line goes up to infinity.

It’s really nothing more complex than that. And, as soon as the non-billionaire conservatives—your neighbors, your coworkers, the people you pass by every day—wake up and understand that they’re covered by that vision, too, the sooner things get better for all of us.

I use ChatGPT and Copilot as search engines, particularly for programming concepts or technical documentation. The way I figure, since these AI companies are scraping the internet to train these models, it’s incredibly likely that they’ve picked up some bit of information that Google and DDG won’t surface because SEO.

Would be a welcome October Surprise…

WTAF is wrong with these people?

Like, dude, all cool if this is the fetish that you beat off to every night—not that I really need to know this.

But, if not, holy shit, seek help…

I’m getting “Wallace Shawn we have at home”…

I think the only reasonable response to that quote would be: “Weird flex but ok…”
