A woman goes to a therapist. “Doctor,” she weeps, “I suck at public speaking!”
“I’m a clinical social worker, not a doctor,” the therapist says. “And just go watch that footage of Katie Zacharia BOMBING—you’ll feel so much better about yourself haha.”
The woman burst into tears. “But Doctor…!”

I wonder what Chuck's problem is:
--she's progressive?
--she's female?
--she's Muslim?
--she's brown?
--all of the above?
--a combo?

Look I’m sure Tucker is into bestiality and many other awful things but to just be so up front with it like this is obvious pandering to Republican voters
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.

America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.

Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.

Australia used to have lax gun laws. But then in 1996, the mass shooting at Port Arthur - in which 35 people were murdered and 23 wounded - sent such shockwaves through the country that 643,000 weapons were willingly handed over by citizens as part of a "buy-back" scheme initiated by then Prime Minister, John Howard.
Australia now has strict gun control laws, particularly as regards semi-automatic and pump-action firearms.
No other nation on the planet has the USA's problem with mass shooters.
Well, an interesting memo from one of the top leadership people at my company has gone out scolding everyone: code quality is down so low that it has found its own level of hell and product releases are now so littered with bugs and issues that delays and hotfixes are stretching everyone and everything beyond their limits.
We've been told we've lost our way and need to get back to taking pride in what *we* produce and not what *AI* produces.
It's taking every fucking ounce of my very being and soul to not respond to this email this morning.
Meet Lucy. Lucy is a little concerned about whether she's got the spell right. Will keep trying.
A few weeks ago, Elizabeth Holmes' sentence was reduced from 135 months to 123 months. The ~9% reduction is due to a retroactive change in federal sentencing guidelines and earned time through the First Step Act
The judge seems understandably angry about this. But this is bonkers:
"The hundreds of millions of dollars in losses caused by Holmes's fraud speak for themselves. And though unquantifiable, the echoes of the immense reputational damage that the innovative industry in Silicon Valley suffered as a consequence of Holmes's deception still reverberate to this day."
Wait, what? *Holmes* is the reason everyone hates the Nerd Reich? If only!
Yes, Holmes is a monster who defrauded patients and investors, and the stories of what she did to the whistleblowers are harrowing. And, yeah, she probably is responsible for collateral harm to *women* trying to raise money
But on my list of people who have caused 'immense reputational damage' to Silicon Valley, she doesn't crack the Top 40
Is anyone in or near Berlin looking for a rigged Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K with cage, D-TAP battery, and SSD?
Any video creators out there looking for an upgrade maybe?
I'm looking to sell mine as I don't do much studio video stuff these days.

My sister was a bit concerned because the new soup she bought at the supermarket (and loved) was from a company with no Wikipedia page. I told her not to worry.
