"I'd like this basic functionality from a programming language" Ok there's a plug-in for that. It was made 8 years ago by a grad student. None of the readme examples work bc it was never updated. You have to install an old version of the language which also requires a workaround

I want to time sections of my code. "Uh, ok I guess u can, here's a complicated workaround" I'd like to plot data that is clearly labeled "Uh, ok weird, here's a complicated workaround" I'd like to do math using code "Tell me why first bc that's weird" ??????

Bob Ferguson has always been this man and it's going to shock a lot of you when he's a lot less vitriolic about Trump's second term. When we say neoliberalism is the enabler of fascism, it seems to only surprise Democrats. Ferguson is doing his job (very well I might add)

Governor Bob Ferguson is making Republican friends on his first day. He is singling out Republican bills that he wants to sign. Here he is recognizing Sen. Jeff Holy’s (R) bill to spend $100 million in state funding to hire more cops across WA #waleg

Every time this ridiculous corporate talking point goes viral, I will repost this video of Kanpur, where the Ganges runs black with poison discharge from leather tanning and people develop cancer as children.

99% of “faux” leather is actually worse for the environment than buying real leather. Not only is it entirely just plastic, but it will begin to crack and peel after a few months of use. While real leather will last a lifetime if taken care of, and have way less of an impact

@Goldtrader67 @DivestSPD Brother I hate to break it to you, but the USSR (founded by Lenin) ended when Russia became Russia in 1989.

@DivestSPD A big issue is there is no mainstream figure speaking to these feelings from the left like there is on the right (e.g. Trump etc. vaguely calling out “elites”, deep state etc.). There was no left party to lead BLM so it got swallowed by NGOs & Demswhere they quietly killed it.

@Goldtrader67 @DivestSPD I’m genuinely curious why you think someone critical of capitalist America would prefer capitalist Russia. Are you aware that it’s 2024 and not 1988?

@RoKhanna @DOGE @VivekGRamaswamy @elonmusk It’s really pathetic to pretend that “DOGE” would consider cutting defense contracts.

Also zoos primary function are human entertainment- the welfare of the animal is prioritized far below human entertainment. Let’s not obscure the human-centric motives of zoos. Viewing animals as objects only serves to further entrench humanity’s hostility to the earth

Zoos are propaganda to inoculate the masses against the real effects of our society on animals Zoos serve the same function as news stories about kids raising money to fix a systemic inadequacy. They hide large issues under feel-good endeavors of little consequence

Does that mean defending or justifying mass murder by the stroke of a pen is a path to heaven?

Guys, defending or justifying shooting a man in the street is a path to hell. Don’t do it.

If the media you're consuming isn't calling UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson what he was—a mass murderer who profited off the suffering and deaths of millions—you deserve better media. When media "both sides" something like this, they're not just misrepresenting reality; they're manufacturing consent. They're tempering your rightful anger, trying to pacify you instead of validating your outrage at a system that rewards exploitation.

@Krtz_Kamn Not a hot take at all. “Socialist by Mao/Stalin’s standards” doesn’t mean very much. America is on the road to socialism by those “standards”.
