US votes against #UN resolution over language on Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. Another new low for the US regime.
Jonathan Shrier, acting US representative to the UN Economic and Social Council, said Washington opposed it because of repeated statements about the war in Ukraine that the U.S. considers “unhelpful in advancing the cause of peace.”

The image depicts a highway scene shrouded in a thick layer of dust or fog, creating a hazy atmosphere. The road is a two-lane highway with a yellow dividing line in the center and white lines marking the edges. Several vehicles are visible, including a black sedan in the left lane and a silver SUV in the right lane, both moving towards the camera. In the distance, more vehicles can be seen, indicating traffic flow. The surrounding landscape is dry and barren, with sparse vegetation and a fence running parallel to the road on the left side. The sky is overcast, contributing to the poor visibility. The overall color palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray and brown, reflecting the dusty conditions.

I actually do have a hand-crank mill that I believe was intended for homebrewing beer.
I kinda can’t believe they don’t peel it or take out the big thing in the middle.

Drake Says This 1 Viral Moment From Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Performance Proves Defamation
In a new court filing, the rapper said he had no doubt the halftime show was "orchestrated to assassinate" his character.Kelby Vera (HuffPost)
"[N]ot only do the structurally empowered eighty-to-ninety-percent-men of technical organizations...get to choose emotions over efficacy, they get to do so while also maintaining the notion that they never have emotions in the first place."
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the phrase "vibe coding" is so effective at shaming people who let LLMs write their code.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, that "doing things by feelings" is shameful in my field.

Why I Cannot Be Technical
With some regularity, kind-hearted Technical people tell me that I Can Be Technical, Too. This usually happens when I’m asking us to define what we’re calling technical in a software environment. I understand why it happens.Cat Hicks (Fight for the Human)
"In some systems otherness causes smartness to dissolve because otherness is more useful to the system than the smartness."
Replace "smartness" with "humanity" and you get the recipe for making big money in big tech. This is the reason FAANG treats you as a user, not a person.
Again, Dr. Hicks knows all this, I'm just live tooting.
"Caring about the code is supposed to be what you do to earn being here and I refuse that. I cannot be Technical because I put my caring, my hope, my love, and the center of my universe somewhere else."
Her words, my reason why I've never worked in big tech, don't want to work in big tech, and have made some of the career decisions I have made that limited my income but multiplied my quality of life.

Und jetzt bin ich auch durch mit meinem Gemecker. Sorry an alle, die mich noch nicht gemutet haben.
Das Bild zeigt eine mobile Anwendung, die Reiseverbindungen in Deutschland anzeigt. Die Uhrzeit auf dem Bildschirm ist 23:47 Uhr, und die Netzwerkverbindung ist 5G mit 80% Akkulaufzeit. Die Anwendung zeigt Verbindungen von Köln Hbf nach Niederdollendorf Bahnhof, Königswinter.
Oben auf dem Bildschirm steht "Startseite" und "Verbindungen". Die erste Verbindung ist für 22:11 Uhr und dauert 52 Minuten mit einer Umsteigerstelle. Sie wird mit der S-Bahn Linie S 19 und der Regionalbahn Linie RB 27 dargestellt. Die zweite Verbindung ist für 23:03 Uhr und dauert 37 Minuten, ebenfalls mit der RE 8. Ein Warnhinweis in roter Farbe informiert, dass die RE 10839 abweichend von Köln Hbf ab Gleis 3 fährt.
Unten auf dem Bildschirm sind die Optionen "Buchen", "Reisen" und "Profil" zu sehen. Die aktuelle Verbindung, die abweicht, ist hervorgehoben.
