I'm convinced that the WORST possible API design for any mobile-server API is the one we all reach for first: REST. REST is not bad if done well, but it's not great--and most people do a shitty job designing a good RESTful interface.

In the real world, justice is backed by armed men who are willing and capable of blowing your brains out the back of your skull if you are unwilling to comply. To think otherwise is to believe in wishful thinking.

As a software developer sometimes coworkers ask me why I'm so detail oriented. Seriously, if you ask me that question I will think you're a fucking idiot.

Got my genetic profile, and was asking AI about the CLOCK gene. Claude claimed 'AA' was associated with morning people; ChatGPT for night owls. When pressed, ChatGPT confessed the evidence was mixed. I like getting my results, but some of it is starting to sound like astrology.

I wonder if Leftists would be happier if we renamed tariffs "value-added taxes on imported goods".

White-throated Kingfisher, as a muppet.

This is why we have AI. So I can do something stupid pretty quickly. Now if you want to take this as an inspiration to actually make him, please be my guest.

A big problem is that the Left has absolutely lost its shit. Meaning the Left has lost any credibility, which means they no longer serve as a useful guard rail against the excesses of the Trump Administration.

And this is how you get more Killdeer.

A lot of "the US is in trouble now! Iran is going to throw everything it's got!" But... Iran pretty much has been doing that since--what, the fall of the Shah? So what's new?

What's weird to me are the ones who support a VAT in the United States, but who oppose a tariff.

Love being lectured by the "Punch a NAZI!" crowd on how non-violent they are.

So many OnlyFans people following me! I must be really sexy. Or smell really desperate...

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." And we are surrounded by people virtue signaling their incompetence.
