I grew up in Hawaii, I got called a haole by everyone. It wasn’t hateful.

One of my favorite anecdotes is about a class at UH-Manoa taught by a haole woman who had moved to Hawaii in the late 60s. A student complained about being called haole, and the professor responded “if you’re white in Hawaii you can be one of three things: a haole, a dumb haole, or a dumb fucking haole.”

He’s more or less said that exact thing.

What are the stretch goals? I mean, we have a whole slew of shitbags the world would be better off without.

It’s not about waiting, it’s about enticing people to use Amazon fresh rather than the other grocery options they typically use.

My guess is that Amazon fresh makes its prices even more absurdly low to get more people buying.

Texas?

That’s literally how “AI agents” are being marketed. “Tell it to do a thing and it will do it for you.”

What are you checking against? Part of my job is looking for events in cities that are upcoming and may impact traffic, and ChatGPT has frequently missed events that were obviously going to have an impact.

Sadly a lot of that is probably marketing, with little to no LLM integration, but it’s basically impossible to know for sure.

Claude why did you make me an appointment with a gynecologist? I need an appointment with my neurologist, I’m a man and I have Parkinson’s.

Same. The headline is journalistic malpractice at best. Joss was murdered by a homophobic terrorist.

The mayor is an elected official, the governor can’t just fire him. The fact the US DOJ was investigating and probably going to prosecute likely led to any state investigation being ended, due to federal investigations taking precedence.

I’d say just don’t engage with it at all.

If someone talks about it, pretend ignorance. Like total ignorance of any aspect of the stories.

Or, if someone mentions it, just say you don’t give bigots money.

Editing to expand: by pirating you are perpetuating the cultural impact. The majority of people pay for access to this media, and by engaging with it you make it more costly for other people to skip it.

Got kids? Percy Jackson (and the other Rick Riordan written) series are great. Older kids? Get them reading chuck wendig or Margaret Killjoy.

Introduce yourself to Kafka and Marquez and Butler and Morrison and so many other great great writers who make JK Rowling look like the utter hack she is.

But you’d possibly be making life better for people in general, depending on which politicians you chose to destroy (and in what way you destroyed them.)

I’m so glad I don’t use telegram.

The really hard stuff came when Fred Hampton started to work with white and Hispanic groups, that’s when the FBI and Chicago PD assassinated him.

Kind of like what happened with MLK and Malcolm X.

Name options:

Leftist Active Club

Trotsky Boxing

Nestor Makhno Fight and Read Club

The Association to Make John Brown Proud

Maybe leftists should do this too

“No, the Israeli military didn’t use the weapon we sold them in the only action they’re involved in.”

I feel like this level of disingenuous bullshit should be punishable in some way. Like every day a child gets to smash an egg on your face and you’re not allowed to wash it off.
