Hegseth has been seething about Asartu practitioners growing beards in the military for decades now. Meanwhile, every video we have of Ukrainian male soldiers shows them rocking beards with no ill effect on their performance.

Palantir - it's worse than you think. @carolecadwalla.bsky.social on @doubledown.news explains. @thenerve.news www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H7V...

You know that China is the same category of pants on head incompetent dictatorship as Russia because Xi Jinping is the same category of grey, upjumped mediocrity as Vladimir Putin.

A year ago: We're building data centers everywhere to run you out of your job and double your power bill. It's so you can look at fake videos of talking dogs on your phone Now: Why are people so hostile about the data centers

The German participants in the panel "Cultural Diplomacy and Soft Power Are Important Instruments of Global Influence” at the Petersburg SPIEF forum include pro-russian neo-Nazis and Kremlin propagandists. All of them should be immediately added to the EU's sanctions list of war criminals.

🇺🇦☢️👀 If Putin thinks that Ukraine cannot create its own nuclear weapons, there is nothing difficult about it, we can do it, we only need an order, — co-owner and chief designer of Fire Point Shtilerman

One of the first games I played. Probably the first I mastered.

Greenland belongs to Denmark "for now." Rubio's response to a question put to him during an oversight hearing gets instant headlines in the Scandinavian press, demonstrating that Trump's territorial appetite targeting Greenland isn't finished.

Plate Tectonics has always been the horniest part of Geophysics. bsky.app/profile/nixj...

Everyone's shouting "copilot bad claude good" as if Claude isn't subject to exactly the same cost pressures that drove Copilot billing changes

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force. Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

PM Frederiksen of Denmark on why Europe shared her thoughts on the war: "You remember in the beginning, we were willing to give away some of our F-16s. We were not allowed to do that... Then we had the question about long-range weapons - also a red line.

Thanks to autocorrect for helping me look up information on the famous Macedonian conqueror, Alexander the Greg

Free world nations in Western Europe should rapidly deploy a force of ship-killing uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) to monitor Russian naval activity off Western Europe. Article-> www.hisutton.com/Free-World-U... They could still be small and cheap. Uncrewed boats don’t get seasick.

The same people calling people "bike nazis" at community meetings are also likely the same people complaining that kids don't go outside anymore.

Happy Pride Month. If you're a gay man, please remember your power. People often think that gay men are innately fashionable, which means if you wear some stupid shit for long enough, straight people, including homophobes, will copy you and then you can laugh at them.

Tech magic didn't work for government with Doge. It didn't work for war with Maven. What if it doesn't work for finance with the coming IPOs?

And will fusion research stop Fluffenstrudel from shedding on the furniture?

The influx of cheap Chinese imports into Europe is a systemic problem affecting virtually all manufactured goods, from cars and chemicals to machine tools and drugs. While the EU debates new instruments, the need for broad-based trade action has become acute. www.ft.com/content/6b74...

Free weekend update just released. People surprised that the Ukrainians are taking the initiative just were not listening. For many months the Ukrainians were open on what they wanted to do (I told you in January). Listen to them not the western press. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

One day, the last CRT will burn out and in a few decades no one will remember what it was like to see one in the flesh. We'll only have recordings played back on LED, or special effect approximations. The analog experience of actually looking at one will slip from human memory entirely.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I sleep, shit, goon, skeet, read obscure blogs, take 3 hour lunch breaks, nip out for a quick fuck with the wife, have my tires rotated, nip our for a quick fuck with the mistress, do my taxes, drink and clip my toenails on company time.

❗️❗️WSJ: Putin has launched a $26 billion state-backed longevity initiative, driven by his personal obsession with aging. It includes organ bioprinting, growing human organs inside mini-pigs, gene therapy, and cryotherapy.

Legacy media is awfully slow in reporting (or even mentioning) the Russian drone attack that hit a Romanian city. Romania is a NATO ally. All of a sudden, they're cautious about vetting dramatic headlines?

A lesson in taking over from a corrupt regime - don't be scared to go after the thieves with all you've got

Broke: Butlerian jihad. Bespoke: Leonine crusade.

In a recent opinion piece, 1st Azov Corps commander Redis explained why analysts fail to see that Ukraine can win. They treat this purely as an attrition game of raw resources, overlooking decisive factors like command culture, morale, social cohesion, and adaptability

“No amount of charity in spending such fortunes can compensate in any way for the misconduct in acquiring them.” - Theodore Roosevelt Fuck them billionaires.

"Trump's brain is frozen in 1987" theory remains undefeated.

Nearly impossible to overstate the tidal wave of joy Tolkien would experience knowing a Pope quoted LORD OF THE RINGS in an encyclical on the dangers of technology.

Thread about this: Faine, Stancil, and others have been beating this hobby horse for over a month now, about how people don't read the data about how the economy is doing good, but instead believe it's bad based on vibes. They call it the vibecession.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

The discourse around Bulgarians is even more insane because a lot of (modern) Macedonian nationalist rhetoric rests on the assumptions that Bulgarians are genetically fascist and consist entirely of Hitler particles. Which is not to say that Bulgarians don't get up to some shady shit (they do).

If the pope declares an anti-AI crusade, I might just convert to Catholicism for the privilege to fight. futurism.com/artificial-i...

What Ukrainians & all eastern europeans have always needed is a privileged westerner who does not know their history, languages or cultures to explain to them that they lack the agency to fight for their own country and are mere pawns unable to determine their own best interests. This isn't racist.

Support our libraries!

these guys are going to start forming their own culture soon, like the sea pirates from the alpha centauri add-on

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

I suspect this is another ploy to facilitate insider trading.
