it really is amazing how accurate the “do you support both Palestine and Ukraine” litmus test has proven to be

Yandy Diaz should sue over that AI slop himbofication

"This was not a routine conjunction or 'fly by." A Russian military satellite over the weekend came "exceptionally" close to a Finnish-operated satellite that provides intelligence to Ukraine. Experts and analysts are watching VERY closely. www.rferl.org/a/russia-spa...

Why Rays playing same time as Valks???

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...

idk man you’ve been blowing up a lot of fishermen and school girls for a guy worried about innocent life

if you wear a casio watch, the only way to set an alarm is to give it to a two-year-old and let them play with it. the only way to turn the alarm off is to bump your wrist on something eight weeks later. there is no other way to turn the alarm on or off

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

this is my favorite genre of social media post and I am soliciting links or screenshots to your favorites

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Ronaldo going out crying after being benched at 41 all while sporting bleached tips (at 41!) is truly too much for me to bear when it comes to joy

Just got my copy of an absolutely gorgeous thing that @lifewinning.com made. I am *delighted* to see this book back in the world. And you can get your own copy! It’s: so good networksofny2026.bigcartel.com/product/netw...

This is a very excellent explainer of the scientific reconstruction of the Nepal debris flow. Lots of interactive data and visuals in the report. 23 minutes between the glacial collapse/landslide before it reached the border station.⚒️

I gotta say--and I know a lot of people I like and respect will disagree with me--but I'm 💯 opposed to behind-the-scenes party machinations that push candidates out of races for "strategic" reasons. It totally undermines the purpose of OP/ranked choice voting, and I think disrespects the electorate.

Two private jets operated by Journey Aviation just landed in southern Poland. This is how ICE deports people to Ukraine. Using a third country to send people to an unsafe country, which includes countries at war, is called chain refoulement, and it's banned under a US-ratified treaty.

A new video emerged which seems to show a surface rupture in Yatsushiro, Japan following the M6.8 earthquake in July! Exact location of the video would be 32°30'04.0"N 130°38'29.9"E. Absolutely wild. Only the second ever video of a surface rupture forming after the 2025 Myanmar video! ⚒️🧪 #geology

Ecuadorean fishermen say drones attacked them in the Pacific — English-speaking men in US-flag uniforms, no insignia. 8 missing, several injured. Flight data shows a patrol plane shifting course to stay pointed at all 3 boats. It's on no Pentagon roll, registered to a UPS store mailbox in Virginia.

It’s that time again, friends. Time to share the greatest eclipse explainer ever.

It is time

probably no surprise here, but on the question of "how has the USA spaffed so much of its weapon supply", the answer is mostly Iran, not Ukraine

I wrote this to try and understand why a pilot in a perfectly fine aircraft failed to make decisions to save himself & his passengers. We can never know for sure, but all of the "not doing" in this flight leads me to think it's an example of modern pilots & automation dependence. /1

omg I found the picture ❤️

I have had it with this. There was a NOTAM that the GPS jamming activities were taking place in the area. Pilots must check NOTAMs prior to departure, especially commercial pilots. It is part of the damn job. If you need GPS to fly then reconsider your career choices.

I drew this August 23, 2022, and it’s coming to pass.

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Like the "problem" of "trans athletes," "voter fraud" is right-wing fan fic engineered to fuel the engine of processed outrage and disenfranchisement that keeps us in a MAGA chokehold. They know their policies fail on their merits so they grind hard to ensure as few people as possible get to say so.

It's not untrue, but this feels like such a dystopian way to describe books: "curated, peer-reviewed, domain-specific human knowledge, structured in a way no web crawl can replicate. Dense, edited, authoritative.” www.404media.co/ai-companies...
