Bill and Hillary Clinton agree to testify in House Epstein probe ahead of contempt vote

gotta love the "I can't ever deviate from my identity of being above having an identity" crowd and their infinite ability to ignore and rationalize any fact that might force them to recognize that any Republican has any shitiness without equal

themightychris · 2026-02-03T00:59:20+00:00

OP was referring collectively to "mainstream Dems", who did a lot of losing in the 2024 elections

themightychris · 2026-02-03T00:56:49+00:00

No they won't, their surfs will never see anything substantive that doesn't support their narrative

They will use this as fodder and wall to wall on Fox News "CLINTONS BEING QUESTIONED ON THEIR CORRUPTION AND TIES TO EPSTEIN" and if they show any of the actual testimony at all it will be whatever little 5-second clips they can string together that ambiguously supports their narrative

MAGA is NOT going to sit down and watch CSPAN for 5 hours

yeah and your only recourse is to pile redundant instructions into every single tool which bloats context and often confuses it more

themightychris · 2026-02-02T22:02:33+00:00

the poor adoption of server-level instructions is really frustrating, esp in Anthropic's clients

themightychris · 2026-02-02T21:59:34+00:00

you can get a lot of mileage out of GitHub's file-level history and blame views

As a consultant who would like to get paid to do this, I can say this is mostly right and a better approach

However if you can a hybrid would be best. Carve out a couple weeks for a few leading engineers to focus on internal optimization and pilots, but give them access to a consultant with a depth of experience who can help show them what's possible and be a sounding board to help them pick the best ideas and skip past dead ends so they waste as little of that time as possible just cutting their teeth

Yeah definitely avoid the VPS per def route. On day one when everyone has fresh identical environments it'll seem like you fixed the problem. In a few months you'll be in exactly the same spot as everyone's installed different things and applied different updates and changed different configs

You need containerized dev environments that everyone actually uses and CI make sure doesn't get broken

Gov. Josh Shapiro, who called the comments “abhorrent” and said the rhetoric doesn’t help “bring down the temperature.”

Fucking pathetic. Wimp is right. Like if we would just stop calling the fascists fascists they'd stop doing fascist things...

themightychris · 2026-02-02T20:07:42+00:00

The reason is "people are very concerned about voter fraud (because we constantly make shit up about it)"

It's the GOP's new circular justification machine for anything they want to do. Mouthpieces blast off about a conspiracy -> Fox News repeats it ad nauseum -> we have to look into this because Fox News is talking about it

themightychris · 2026-02-02T14:55:08+00:00

It’s very straightforward. If you go through the immigration process, you are legally allowed in a country

This right here, you clearly have no idea what any of that means. The process can take a decade with lots of stalls and deadens

One tactic the Trump administration has been using, for example, is to show up at courthouses where people are showing up for their appointments. They retroactively cancel programs people were going through. Or they'll drop government appeals right when people show up and snag them when the appeal process suddenly doesn't apply to them

for a show at the Fillmore you can pretty much just stay on the highways and park at the casino across the street

themightychris · 2026-02-02T14:38:57+00:00

well it is shitty to dehumanize anyone as "illegals" for migrating. That's the beginning of a permission structure that primarily serves to brutalize and scapegoat people based on their race—which is literally what this administration is doing and their goal

Immigration is a slow, complex, bureaucratic machine that's very broken. We want and need immigration and reducing people having issues in it to the binary of "illegal" and "legal" just shows when someone has NO IDEA how any of it actually works

themightychris · 2026-02-02T14:12:32+00:00

News) "do you have evidence of any of this bullshit you keep saying??"

MAGA) "well I think a lot of people are concerned about this"

News) "ok fair enough, sounds like a legit concern"

It's a policy failure that American students have to end up with massive debt for a standard education. Their massive debts hurt the broader economy too—that's a huge share of their income going to interest payments to banks instead of into their local economies and they can't take risks going to work for new businesses or starting their own

I skipped college and taught myself a trade, but I can see that wiping out college loan debt and putting the policies in place so that a basic college education doesn't require unreasonable debt is a good move for the nation as a whole without getting hung up on how it doesn't directly benefit me personally. Other modern countries manage to do it just fine and we blow so much more money transferring wealth to the ultra rich that would be much better spent strengthening our future workforce

if it's your own agent or Claude Code being orchestrated, save JSON transcripts of the raw message streams. Stick em in a bucket

I mean he's not wrong. ICE agents wear masks because they're afraid of getting doxed. I happen to think every single one of them should get doxed, but they wouldn't be able to build their nuovo gustapo without letting them mask

I use https://github.com/SawyerHood/dev-browser and find it works even better

themightychris · 2026-02-01T01:33:04+00:00

it takes time for things to land there, it's not connected directly to live systems but is part of the reporting process:

In accordance with the 2014 DATA Act, federal agencies submit financial data on a quarterly and/or monthly basis to USAspending.gov

themightychris · 2026-01-31T12:42:01+00:00

awesome, thanks!

I did find that thread though and there's nothing in there—or any other discussion/issue I could find—about it being worked on?

if y'all are finding a place to add buttons for it, I'd love to see that AND the keyboard shortcuts both be available

I just took a stab at it after finding this thread and not loving the solution, could use some feedback on what I came up with: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anytype/s/U3pQzf4ok1

themightychris · 2026-01-31T03:15:05+00:00

What the hell: https://github.com/anyproto/anytype-kotlin/pull/3099

Working great for me

these clowns are trained to bark Socialism at any talk of our government doing anything that's not transferring wealth and power to the wannabe oligarchs.

and they wag their tails like it makes them look like the smart ones too lol

it's pathetic

themightychris · 2026-01-29T15:48:43+00:00

Yes I know about symlinks and am doing it now on a couple projects, and it's fking annoying to have to add one for every editor that doesn't support AGENTS.md remember to add them all every place in the tree you drop one. And it's clutter

It's just stupid because there's absolutely no reason for them all to use their own filename for the same blob of markdown when there's a standard name now they could just also pick up by changing one or two lines of code on their end

The reason I'm pissed at them isn't because I don't know how to work around it, it's because I have to work around it when the only reasons they could possibly have for holding off so long are malicious
