I will never understand how people who write APIs without documentation sleep at night.

A journalists' union in #SouthSudan asserts that six staffers with the national broadcaster are detained in connection with footage apparently showing the country’s president urinating on himself, while the national anthem played, during an event last month. away.https://twitter.com/observerug/status/1603046922771628033?s=20&t=UiWtX7J8PLJEeh0GgQollQ

This hasn’t happened since 1923. Someone should ask Chuck Grassley what happens next.

Lmao, this PetMD article goes on and on about how toxic marijuana is for dogs and then when it finally gets to the symptoms list, it's the *exact same as humans*.

Idk who needs to hear this, but:
People disagreeing with what you post online is not what "trolling" is.
I feel like I have to say this a lot, but *words mean things*.

@imklg Maybe people don't want to boost your posts because you call them "trolls" when they engage with you. 🤷♂️

Wikipedia: Trump told 30,573 false or misleading claims during his presidency.
George Santos: hold my beer.
Wikipedia: this is not even beer.
Do news sites not realize that their UX is garbage, or do they not care?

Every day the New York Times tries to convince me to read an article in their app instead of on the web because it is “better in the app.”
I downloaded the app to see why it is better. It appears to be an embedded web view showing the same article. If anything, it loads slower.
Pushing people to native apps for things that the web is great at is so stupid.

Helloooo, I was over in Germany visiting my family, and got to (made everyone) visit the Speyer technik museum, which has a BURAN!! The only one you can visit in the world. A beautiful beast.

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.
It seems almost incestuous when ad-based services advertise themselves.

If Democrats can't get Santos to step down for his egregious lying, they should consider taking his playbook.
If Republicans aren't going to vet their candidates, then just have Dems make up backstories and seek the GOP nomination and run on a GOP platform and then govern as Democrats.
Apparently the GOP voters won't care 🤷♂️

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
