That was so badass. It's really a crime how hard Disney fucked the sequel trilogy, but The Force Awakens was at least fun. The other two were hot garbage.

That sounds cool!

I had an Aussie team lead in 2016 and he messaged me the day after the election like "WTF happened?"

I was feeling grim and said "we just woke up in a fascist hellscape" which at the time was gruesome overkill for effect but I often think about that interaction now. America is not the same place it was a decade ago.

Weird Al is a national treasure, an institution. I'd bet it's his sort of music, parody, that AI threatens most simply because it's riffing on songs that already exist.

On the other hand, the only reason I'd worry that a gen-AI could attempt a masterpiece like "Alternative Polka" is that Weird Al created it first.

AOC had to walk so Mamdani could run. Not only proving DSA candidates were electable, but also that they could actually do the job by being pragmatic (for better or worse).

Sexism might be an easy answer, but let's not forget that AOC is a rep with a small district, and got around 100k votes. Mamdani represents millions of New Yorkers and curried more than a million votes in his election. Mayor is also a much broader executive position than being one of 438 reps.

Point being, Mamdani's election/position comes with a lot more mandate than AOC's, regardless of gender.

Green pool Trump is blathering about vs. a manufactured immigrant crisis, the mental decline of someone that is no longer in office, or a murder that happened two years ago...

Hmm, weird.

This is definitely about the D language, I just haven't heard anything about in a long time (since Rust ate its lunch) and nothing about it using AI or long time devs leaving.

Was there drama with D? I'm out of the loop...

I think M-M-Monster Kill is more appropriate, even if it's just one guy.

First time tripping shrooms, eh?
