TAKAICHI'S LDP SET TO WIN LANDSLIDE MAJORITY IN JAPAN: EXIT POLL







“No one is illegal on stolen land. […] F*ck ICE” — Billie Eilish accepting Song of the Year at the #GRAMMYs.



My propaganda is that people should be fatter and bigger. You should have a little gravity to you. But put on weight in a life-affirming way. Not out of sloth and gluttony, but out of vigor. People need to put on mass and reach the sweet spot of strength and earthiness. Stay in perpetual movement, train and nourish intentionally. A little bit in excess, a little bit of heft and plumpness, because you can. This is sexy.


transitioning from blue collar to white collar is primarily: -learning how to do thinking work while tired -learning how to use google docs




@cursor_ai @mntruell @sualehasif996 @amanrsanger @ArVID220u The future won't be programming languages like TypeScript or Python. It won't be chatbots either (too imprecise). It'll be a new representation of software logic that looks more like English – a high-level pseudocode you can edit and control.

After 18 years at Microsoft, with roughly a decade of that time working on TypeScript, I have unfortunately been let go in the latest round of layoffs. I need to take a few days to process before I start looking for work. Thanks to everyone who's been part of my journey so far.
