Anti-GMO, if coming from a place of reason, is a stance against pesticides in your food. One of the primary reasons to genetically modify some plant is so Roundup herbicides can be used on it.

Yeah, pretty neat!

Even better: No billionaires. But we’ve got to start small in order to get anywhere. I think the idea is that if we can make an example of Musk, other billionaires will think twice before fucking over the general population.

Not entirely true. You lose tickets and PRs in that scenario.

Hah, nice.

I don’t know the answer to that, but I think part of the effort here is aimed at figuring that out.

I do know there’s shit like this going on: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/king-county-metro-purchase-teslas

You don’t think they’ll just say “tread on me harder, daddy”… unironically?

Mouth-breathing thugs aren’t exactly scientific geniuses though.

Just because Marmalade Mussolini or his DOJ wrote a memo doesn’t make it legal. The use of the Alien Enemies Act is already highly contested in federal court. (It remains to be seen if/when courts will enforce their rulings, but just today a Tufts University student was released from ICE custody as a result of a judge’s ruling.)

Stop giving your money to the giant companies that fund and perpetuate surveillance ad tech. Shop local.

Close… I’ll download the HTML for an eBay search results page, and then a script splits it up into separate entries and feeds each listing’s HTML chunk to the LLM. I don’t bother with individual listing pages. (This falls down on some edge cases like listings that include multiple variants via a pull-down selection only found on the individual listing page. Maybe a future area of improvement.)

Self host. Just Ollama running on a machine without a GPU! I never said it was fast. :D

Made a product search script that sorts eBay listings based on total per unit price (including shipping). Good for finding the cheapest multi-pack, lot, bundle, etc. by unit. Using Qwen 3 4B and feeding it a single listing at a time to parse.

You’ll know it’s true topsy-turvy world when the red state MAGA types start driving EVs and using encrypted messaging apps.

Excuse me… It was a hand motion that appeared to some observers to be consistent with a historical German sign of greeting and/or eugenics.

Tesla profits are down 71% year-over-year, and the only reason they didn’t actually lose money is due to some carbon credit shenanigans.

That’s not how end-to-end encryption works…

Not with that attitude.

The question, though, is what the judiciary is going to do with these seemingly inevitable contempt rulings. Let’s just say I’m not terribly excited about the prospect of fines unless that’s just the opening salvo.

Pretty sure he’s not flying the planes.
