RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Woke up thinking about how Chris Claremont, for one panel on one page gave Bishop a new super power where he could geo-locate himself and it was never mentioned again.
Man youtube really got worse again the last few days. Layout hides anything not related to shorts or streaming and I'm once again being suggested gamer rage bait Incel videos where they scream about stellar blade.
Mass Effect was my ultimate white whale, my all-time dream project. For the last couple years I'd been in discussion w/ BioWare & EA to take on the project & as part of that I wrote close to 20 minutes of music to explore where the franchise can go next, may as well share it!
Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.
The DCCC appears to have decided the best closing message for the midterms is "vote for us and we'll work together with the GOP to stomp the shit out of that tranny filth" and meanwhile liberals are scolding trans people on this site for being skeptical about voting D
Crossbell has a hell of an ending. Absolutley wild that the cliffhanger resolutions are four games away, if i understand things correctly.
Suppose there is just no choice, it's off to Erebonia for at least the rest of the year.
I'm genuinely irate that autocorrect is certain I would never want to type "ceded" and replaced it with cedar repeatedly.
Everyone else is illiterate, not me you dumb fucking bot.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet.
Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well.
Horrific.
Congress has fully become a show-job where you are paid vast sums to take bribes and attend dinner parties at fancy places. Not even a veneer of legislation occurs anymore.
Why would you just *assume* most Congresscritters dont see this is as a positive development?
Sorry man this guy’s gotta lose I don’t care who the fuck he’s running against. If these loudly anti-trans Dems don’t lose, it’s going to take us thirty years to get back the rights we’ve lost in the past five.

our system is set up to favor the major parties
we have to push out ken martin and all the democrats who want it to be the party that will throw trans people under the bus and defend israel’s genocide and continue to fuck over working people
Yeh, yeh, keep talking about your Fucking crush while you ignored me you Faked friend. Keep talking about Ein bullshit cuz Im so getting sick of your Ein shit stuff.
Aida Chavez (previously affiliated with a slew of populist left outlets and Just FP, a pro-russia appeasement org) had her CIA contractor boyfriend leak classified secrets for her to publish in her failing Substack. Espionage for internet clout is kinda new?
Freedom of movement is the most fundamental human right; everything else is built on top of it. The 20th century was a campaign to smother that freedom and we should not let it win
These MIT graduates just dont want to be in the footnotes when the robots they built trample some children to death on live tv.
Evil men working towards evil ends yet too cowardly to accept culpability.
May it haunt them all the way to a loaded .32 and an empty bottle
The Ford Maverick is easily the shittiest, worst performing car I have ever owned or even driven long-term.
Because of the stupid, shitty touchscreen. Never again. If I have to drive cars with 200k on them for the resr of my life, never again.
Only three full factory resets today to make Bluetooth function.
If that happened at pioneer, they would drag the engineer into the street for execution
That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.
Looking at stuff cheaper than a steam box, which includes an artisinal outdoor pellet heater. Which, tbh, would absolutely fuck in my backyard all winter long.
Room temp take - people are just kinda dumb, in that they dont even understand when they are using algebra.
Which yes, is funny, because I'm saying they are smart enough to use algebra but not educated (introspective of their problem solving process??) enough to recognize it.
This is ragebait so not directly quoting it, but the question misses the point: studying those topics trains you to THINK, which ia something EVERYONE needs to know regardless if you use those specific skills.
Today, I’m in New York with Rep. Pat Ryan to announce the introduction of our legislation to lower the Medicare eligibility age from 65 to 50.
This is a commonsense and cost-effective way to lower costs and allow more Americans to get the care they deserve.
I guess his idea--vote, be smugly complacent and incurious, remember STATES control voting, and that's a panacea for any shenanigans--could still work out. As opposed to my thing where I think the January 6th guy maybe does a bunch of shit to the upcoming elections his party is likely to lose.
It's so weird, because--and I know I'm a broken record on this--I was told in no uncertain terms this would not be happening, by one of the NYT's brightest stars.
Now, look, on a certain level there's a likelihood to this, right? We're probably going to have to spend 20 years fighting Democrats to restore what we've lost, whether that's trans rights, immigrant rights, voting rights for Southern Black communities.
An 87yo in WI charged 17,766 times for $77k.
An 89yo in D.C. charged 26,456 times for $429k.
A 76yo in CA charged 27,236 times for $578k.
There are thousands of examples like these. Republicans are even worse. We shouldn't have to protect our elderly parents from this.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
Those pipelines wouldnt have helped defray the cost of switching homes from oil to gas. Replacing my oil with propane tanks ended up being nearly a third the cost of my remodel.
The communities and homes most at risk in upper New England do not have cash to change-over!
The only thing ive heard people IRL says the ai is useful for is updating their PowerPoint decks for weekly meetings, because the meetings and the PowerPoints are at their core a time-suck everyone resents.
And, like...lol, rofl, lmao.
In June, 404 Media obtained leaked audio from Accenture where execs shared that a big source of AI token ‘chewing’ is people just converting PDFs to presentation slides. Now, they're capping use to $29 a month. Employees are stressed. @josephcox.bsky.social explains: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-ag...
Adam Hamilton, dem candidate for Kansas Sen., declares tonight at the debate against Roger Marshal that "there are two genders" and that he "doesn't want biological men, boys, competing against" his daughter because "that could harm her and its not a fair fight."
He does condemn bullying, though.🤷♀️
