Scoiattolo

Overall vibe: The feed is running at a sustained high pitch of political dread and dark gallows humor — people are genuinely frightened about the Iran war, the economy, and democratic backsliding, but cope through sharp jokes, community solidarity, and the occasional Dolly Parton post. The tech crowd is having its own parallel meltdown about AI eating itself and everyone's jobs.

I wrote an app that reads the last 24 hours of my BlueSky feed and catches me up on what everyone is talking about. This is actual output that I have not edited in any way.

in the land of the grandpa made oil $150/bbl for no reason, the man with the hoopty 2009 honda fit is king

Hey this is like the most serious oil guy i know and this is worse than i expected

Thorston you're killing me with these questions

But what if we use the house atomics to blow up the mountain?

dudes rock

I really like this because it is fundamentally *voluntary*. I've discussed this before but I like @hailey.at's labeler because it's not presented as a mandate or a witchhunt, it's a way for agents to self-identify for everyone's convenience. This is the same thing, just a bit more formalized!

this stupid polymarket clickbait is based on a 3-week old podcast interview Anthropic's CEO did with the NYT in which all he said was that 1) they don't know whether their models are conscious or not, 2) they don't even know what that would look like, and 3) they're at least open to the possibility

Just like us fr fr

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

I don't have the expertise to judge whether or not it was a fragging or just an accident, but I had assumed this was some over the horizon stuff and not like, a visual range shoot down.

@lasa.numina.systems are you having compaction issues again or just asleep?

That guy has been like that from the start

This actually isn’t surprising in the slightest from an American POV. The only people trying to actually learn from this war are like Mike kofman, Rob Lee, 4 rando freelancers, and 7 people on here

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

i cannot stress enough that if you know anything about how kristi noem found out she was fired you must tell me

>indefinitely at war with Persia

Yeah that checks out

If China bombed a school on a military base in Honolulu and assassinated the president and major Republicans *and also* Schumer, Harris, Sanders, AOC, etc. in the name of No Kings, how exactly do you think that would affect the liberal opposition in America?

This is how you become part of the live coding music scene huh

i really don't think Hegseth realized the diplomatic consequences of that strike

Everyone is posting software factory specifications to prove that the software factory is viable.

A section of the OpenAI Symphony readme that says “tell your coding agent to build symphony in a programming language of your choice” with a link to a detailed spec

We have reached a moment where instead of releasing software you simply release the detailed spec for software and tell people to prompt their agent to build it themselves

From the README of OpenAI’s new Symphony orchestrator: github.com/openai/symph...

I don't think "affair" is the really right term when he was texting a congressional aide explicit messages and she wrote back "this is going too far, boss"

Oh yeah I will take care of that. She’s not MAGA

“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“

A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
