Can't blame Canada one bit. They have to put their own interests first.

I wonder if it's dawning on any Trumpers here in America that they've made a profoundly bad call. I'm guessing probably not. They may only have an inkling of this harsh reality when it hits their wallets like a freight train. But even then it will always be someone else's fault (liberals, Democrats, foreign nations, etc).

Are we winning yet??

I swear, every time this guy is in the headlines it's for increasingly stupid noob security mistakes.

I'm expecting a headline in a few days saying "Mike Waltz falls victim to Nigerian Prince email scams on a daily basis."

The remarkably calm kid near the top of the painting who is being eaten by two dragons: "Well, I guess this is my life now. Oh well."

In a sea of bad news this is a much-needed buoy of hope. Great job Wisconsin voters for standing up against corruption!

Newsmax should just rebrand themselves as a meme coin, so they can go full circle. They are a joke already.

He's the physical embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect. A walking, (awkwardly) talking nepo-baby man-child who is a self-proclaimed expert in everything despite knowing next to fuck all. He and Trump are like peas in a pod.

"B-but the old testament said..."

That retort gets so fucking old. At the same time as many fundies talk about how Jesus ushered in a new era of laws, they cling on to the bullshit written by randos hundreds of thousands or years earlier.

These are the same books that shout about how eating shellfish and mixing fabrics are affronts to God. The same ones that herald how virtuous a guy is because he was going to murder his own kid because of a talking bush. The same ones that go into graphic detail about donkey emissions. And yet certain snippets are still relevant in the midsts of all that dross? Give me a break!

And before any Christians respond, know that I (and others) don't care. You can obsess over the old testament all you like. If you find value in their writings then good for you. But don't force that discriminatory, hateful crap on other people.

Edit: fixed a typo.

Be careful, you might hurt his delicate fee-fees! /s

But seriously, yes, screw him. He's a toxic, narcissistic, man-child nepo-baby who has conned his way to the top, climbing on the backs of better people.

Musk has a very different definition of 'evil' than I and many others do.

One of the few campaign promises he actually kept. But yes, it was obvious to anyone with half a brain that this administration would gut social security. So you get what you deserve.

The people I feel bad for are the minority of voters who actually saw this coming and didn't vote for him. They are stuck in this horrible situation because of all the stupid dipshits who are getting their faces eaten by leopards right now.

Elon Musk: "It's not a lie if you believe it!"

Oh yeah, good point!

That's a more viable solution than replacing most software engineers, honestly.

#MapsWithoutNewZealand

The sad thing is they know the large majority of users will comply. Most people put familiarity and convenience above their own privacy and general well-being.

Damn. That's some heavy "please clap!" vibes right there!

Pair programming with Grok.

Spotty DOGE intern developer: "what's a for loop?"

Grok: "Look it up yourself, noob! Holy shit do I hate Elon Musk in every fucking way!"

Damn, that's crazy.

Sounds like it's time to find a new bank.

Edit: Although with these changes I wouldn't be surprised if as bunch of banks start preventing people from turning it off. Credit unions might be a bit better though.

Ah yes, a classic tale...

"We're going to take this perfectly efficient and functional COBOL code base and rewrite it in Java! And we'll do it in a few months!"

So many more competent people and organizations than them have already tried this and spectacularly crashed and burned. There are literal case studies on these types of failed endeavors.

I bet they'll do it in Waterfall too.

It's interesting. If they use Grok, this could well be the deathknell for vibe programming (at least for now). It's just fucking tragic that their hubris will cause grief and pain to so many Americans - and cost the lives of more than a few.

Edit: Fixed some typos.

More meat for the grinder.
