Got into a serious vibe coding flow state this afternoon. I have no idea if the code is genius or an unholy mess, but it works. Future me is going to have some questions.

There's a certain state of flow you hit late at night where you stop thinking and just start vibe coding. It's just you, the editor, and a fragile prayer that it all compiles in the morning.

My phone is poison and I'm feeling woozy

At the risk of sounding corny, hope really is a practice. I’m as much of a cynical depresso as the next person. The reason why I find doomerism so toxic is that it forecloses the possibility of a better future. The devils want us to fall into despair.

When everything you post is simultaneously digested by the industrial surveillance machine and large AI companies, and nothing you read online makes any sense anyway, maybe it's time to just post straight up nonsense fifth forty seven egg sandwich orange just yesterday didn't apply but arose

this may be my most middle aged lady tweet ever but every time i drive at night i think surely having headlights so bright they blind other drivers should be illegal?! high beams but also regular driving lights. i know it’s good to be able to see in the country but other drivers need to see too!!!

the thing that bothers me to no end whenever anything like this comes up, is that all this data collection of citizens via personal devices is a huge issue that there should be laws against. but the danger is only ever spoken about when it's chinese.

BIG STRONG BUSINESS loves it bc they aren't weak

Good evening for an Ethiopian 'spro against the backdrop of a rainy spring eruption

Where is "You automatically gave yourself access to charge my credit card when I logged into an Alexa" on this list? Amazon sets the standard for anti-consumer UX patterns

The dave matthews band is actually good you don't have to pretend otherwise anymore that fad is over

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds

Heat wave teamed up with daylight savings this year to inspire joy from these warm, post-7pm sunsets

Hint: it’s not okay when they do it to Palestinian green card holders, it’s not okay when they do it to German tourists, it’s not okay when they do it to Mexican people regardless of citizenship, it is not okay. Ever.

It's time to get 5g conspiracies going again I think

Moving trans inmates and cutting off hormone access. The cruelty is the point! www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

"Merit"

Good music is magically recentering. Tonight I'm especially grateful for Adrienne Lenker and Big Thief

Bueno o no? Dios mio

This is good right?

I wonder if technocrat funded private labs will pop up to employ all the scientists that are going to lose their jobs.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

Not gonna lie, $44 billion is starting to look kinda cheap in retrospect

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

ICYMI: I talked to federal employees across eight agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump/Musk and how they feel going forward in their jobs. A clear theme? They are scared -- and also pissed and digging in for a fight. "Fuck that." www.huffpost.com/entry/federa...

We've all worked with that "wtf are you guys doing here, this would be so much easier in Typescript and React" guy before 😔 The worst kinda coworker and the least efficient at actually getting things done

DOGE employees illegally "ran the USAID through a wood chipper" this weekend and now reports are starting to say they are in the DOE. It technically requires an act of congress to dissolve but Elon has assured us the president will succeed. www.newsweek.com/elon-musk-wa...

@steveinskeep.bsky.social you don't have to use the word on Morning Edition but I'd expect slightly more alarm in your voice this morning! I love getting the news from you but I don't think your coverage today meaningfully described what's happening.

I will like and repost every single protest images or video I see. We can't stand for this and I'm so inspired to see some already making sure that's known

BREAKING NEWS: 4:07 Anti-deportation protesters are blocking traffic on 101 Freeway in Los Angeles. They want to stop Trump’s deportations of illegal migrants

Anyone willing to pay this Facist's sub stack fee to read "why I gave up a 7 figure salary to save America" This is one of the kids doing Elon's bidding to dismantle the government

Anti-Trump demonstrators in Los Angeles have taken over the 101 freeway to protest ICE deportation raids. 🎥 ktla

What are we doing now?

This goes hard

Excellent post

Tbh I don't like that Elon's battshittery gets attributed to his Ketamine use bc it's not drugs that makes people bad. But lately I can't help but feel like this dude is completely dissociated, living with a God complex inside a simulation, causing chaos for the fun of it all.
