(doing this from main for hopefully more visibility this time)

was hoping to bundle this with the blog post for my next update on my current game project but alas the world is not kind to this one.

My bank account has less than $100 in it right now and my work has not scheduled me for the entirety of the month of May. I have not been able to recoup the cost of bills and expenses spanning across two months. I need some assistance to not run my bank account dry and make sure I have a safety net for any expenses.

any support you can give is incredibly valuable to me!

On May 4, 1886, workers in Chicago were striking and demonstrating peacefully for an 8-hour workday. Police had killed one striker and injured several others the previous day, and when the cops showed up and began to disperse the PEACEFUL demonstration, an unknown person threw a dynamite bomb towards the police. The explosion and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven cops and four civilians, as well as dozens of injuries, most of them from the confused gunfire of the police.

Following this, eight activists—some present at the demonstration, some at others, and some at home playing cards—were arrested and charged. The presiding judge was openly hostile to the defendants, as were the court bailiffs and all the jurors eventually seated to hear the case. (Any potential jurors who were union members or sympathetic to socialism were dismissed.)

Anyone looking for a place to live in Northampton MA at the end of August? Need a new roommate to sign the lease with me and another roommate. DM me if you want deets. It’s 830 a month flat, no utils. Need first and last months rent to start. Multiple bus stops in the area. Sooner we sign the better.

Apparently I have 75 million PRs to review today... gonna be here a while.

So, heads up, I'm seeing this post announcing palantirwatch.org being boosted a lot: <excised>

However, the site seems to be vibe coded and, while I've just picked stuff at random, most claims are lacking sources and/or just plain wrong. I think it is all generated by an LLM.

- For example, the "Court Dossier" page mentions a 2019 case "Kik v. Palantir", about a "former partner" suing them for stealing fraud-detection tech. But a far as I can tell, there was no such case.
- The op-eds listed on the "Media & Narrative" page don't exist. E.g., Alex Karp never wrote an op-ed for The Atlantic.
- The few links given are incredibly generic (e.g., linking to a Bloomberg search result for "Alex Karp" rather than an actual story) or incorrect (like the Palantir page on OpenSecrets.org, which should be https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/palantir-technologies/summary?id=D000055177, and the figures don't match the website's).
- None of the quotes on the "Karp File" page seem to be real.

The creator's other sites appear to be LLM slop as well.

edit: the toot is taken down, site is "under construction".
