"The call is coming from inside the house." Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. Trump’s a traitor--a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

dodgers been ass for weeks, mlb really pinning their salary cap push on the narrative

The latest Team Power Rankings just dropped 👇 (MLB x @PolymarketSport)

I don't claim to know all the details, but all things being equal I am on the side of the working man and am suspicious of any message coming from MLB ownership. Most professional baseball players are not multi-millionaires; The average MLB owner's net worth is nearly 5 billion dollars.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

An Austrian NATO official sent a blunt warning to Washington: Touch Greenland & Europe seizes US bases. Gunther Fehlinger says if the US annexes Greenland, every American base in Europe—from Germany to Italy to Romania—would be confiscated, ending decades of U.S. military power on the continent.

If telling the troops not to follow illegal orders is “sedition,” what do we call colluding with the Kremlin to manipulate the U.S. President into advancing Russian interests over America’s?

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

When you stand on your feet for five hours cheering at the top of your lungs, and your team wins a 15-inning battle of attrition, you end up exhausted but satisfied. My voice is shot and I can barely stand, but it was so worth it. Let's Go Mariners! My dream of a Cubs-Mariners World Series is alive

The US was founded on the money it made from ignoring the British claim of IP on the cotton gin (which yeah, I’m sure was based on IP we stole) which formed the basis of the cotton sugar slavery triangle China’s policy for the last 20 years has been that at scale but sneaky. Out loud? Yeah…

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

The wife turned on the Giants / Rangers game on Apple TV+. Everything about this broadcast is an affront to baseball: - The gambling stat in the lower right - A glossy production look more suitable for a West LA Day Spa - A bug box which splits the score of the god damned game - THE GAMBLING STATS

Everyone says they have the best dog in the world, and they’re right. Especially in my case. He was diagnosed with bone cancer a few weeks ago and doesn’t have much time. I am absolutely crushed but am rallying for him because he is such an empath he knows I’m upset.

people are understandably cautious about Microsoft's claims about Majoranas especially as a researcher got way too excited about some eventually inconclusive results a few years back: Chetan Nayak confirming that the Arxiv paper (link in my piece) does show actual measurements of Majorana Zero Modes

Microsoft's big quantum gamble pays off: they were harder to build (and about as hard to understand!) but Microsoft's topological qubits are more effective, easier to control - and will probably help design their own replacements.

honestly, if you ignore everything else I say about quantum computing, just read this bit, I am *so proud* of this stupid metaphor 😎

Mary Branscombe@marypcbuk.bsky.social

topological qubits use superconductors that make a topological phase of matter that hides quantum state so they also have the even/odd electron thing but it's stuffed in a locker so the teacher can't look out in the hall to see it until the class bell rings and the computation is finished

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system. There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.
