Hey @jackconte.bsky.social WTF is going on with Patreon? Ever since February a couple dozen of my memberships have been failing payment - the payments do not occur automatically and time out if I try pay by hand.

Barn door / Horse But more important: why now and why "for the rest of the year". Are they saying this has been an ongoing problem, including this year, and if so is there some change that will make them ok after this year?

John Urschel has his CV on his MIT professor page and if you scroll past 7 pages of his mathematics achievements and awards and theorems and theses it says, briefly, "former NFL (American) football player" math.mit.edu/~urschel/job...

Monthly payment for the plan I have dropped. But copays jumped a LOT. Thus screwing people who actually need the drugs. Apparently Dr Oz's misunderstanding of the concept of insurance runs deep.

"The mayor's liberal apologists claim that, when the 9/11 attacks happened, he was 'in elementary school' and 'nine years old,' as if those are reasonable excuses for the future mayor's negligence." buff.ly/PxYRxx1

someone could do a “after moulton rebuke, centrists face growing pressure to retreat from extreme right-wing positions on gender conformity” number that would be fun

"Mr. President, all these famous 80-year-olds keep dying and then the entire nation says great things about them."

the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes

So much for this Lou&Peter Berryman song www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1Vb... Chorus: Because when you're down and out, as low as a man can get Remember the family car's America's safety net There is a place for you no matter who you are No one denies your right to live in your car

Finally something “Ai” definitely good at

So, what happens if I'm a parent and I know that my kid needs highly paid teachers, a library full of books with diverse characters, trans-inclusive bathrooms and extracurriculars, and a curriculum unpacking topics like systemic racism, colonial oppression, economic inequality, and climate change?

One thing not mentioned in that article is that repealing the whole thing would also repeal the massive ramp up in ICE funding. Which would save money and lives.

The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.

You mean the wife who just had a baby, like last week?

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

The guineas alarmed (sound on) just as I went out this morning. Looks like it charged them but only got a few feathers.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

It is going to be hella ironic if someone manages to launch a serious investigation of voting machines and uncovers proof of vote manipulation in KY, TX etc.

July 12, 1776: Abigail Adams and her four children with John are inoculated for smallpox in Boston. They are part of a group of 17 who take the treatment together at her uncle’s house. “Our Little ones stood the opperation Manfully,” she writes.

That's a risk you take by eating roadkill and swimming in polluted streams.

The only other time the Shiller CAPE ratio was this high was the 1999-2000 dot com bubble. If you look at the S&P 500 level at that time and then its level 18 years later, the annualized return was 2.7%. $1,000 would grow to $1,604 in 18 years. With inflation this would buy less college credits.

The NYT is promoting the stock bubble. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/u... Where the fuck do they get off pushing the line that the $1k in Trump accounts will be worth $6k by the time a kid is 18? Did Trump agree to drop his idiot defamation suit for this crap?

Will Frivolous Charges Be Brought Against Future Ex-POTUSes? That’s Okay Too. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/will-...

The distinction maps roughly to "throwaway vs. maintained" code. The debt compounds specifically when LLM-generated code lacks tests and the original author no longer understands it well enough to review PRs—that's the real failure mode, not the generation itself.
