collective punishment is a war crime

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

It must have been so hard to find the sexiest picture of Robert Redford.

Absolutely wild that anyone is paying for Prime at this point. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

“Expanding the island airport would be economic vandalism” is unfortunately complete nonsense.

I’ll never get over Americans popping up hobby reddits to ask what kind of gun folks are carrying for xyz activity. “What do you carry while walking in the park? I’m looking at ankle holsters. Thanks!” 💀

Bring the rainbow logo back for the 50th anniversary, cowards

PASSAGE OF TIME, TRANSLATED 2025 — “the other day” 2024 — “a few months ago” 2021-2023 — “last year” 2020 — “oof, maybe 10-15 years ago?” 2016-2019 — “a couple years ago” 2011-2015 — “10-15 years ago” 2000-2010 — “like 5-10 years ago”

Sorry, but why the fuck deadline.com/2026/03/tink...

One little assignment and then I’m done the certificate I’ve been working on! I feel like I’ve been chained to the bottom of Lake Ontario and am crawling onto the muddy shore lol

Heading off to see Pillion, which should be a good distraction from ~everything

No one told me about Pablo Escobar prison scrapbooking and that is honestly a crime

Oh I like this idea!

I think it's pretty important to understand that algorithmically-run platforms have long understood anger and argument drives much more engagement than just showing you stuff you like, and if you find yourself being made to despair at what a platform shows you, that is the system working as intended

Walking home after an eye checkup is an assault on the senses 😵‍💫

So unsettling that once or twice a year, every year, a pedestrian is killed on my old walking commute.

I simply don’t care what Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend has to say about things.

No more shredded physiques in period pieces! 🙏

Bought my dog two new toys and she demolished them in about 8 hours…. I’ve seen worse!

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

I, too, think tens of thousands of people should go to prison because sometimes I smell something I don't like

AO3 truly a load-bearing website in these troubled times.

Every week I ask myself: why do we need a deck for that? (We don’t need a deck for that.)

Good morning! Yes, this is he

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

People will really post *anything* in r/AccidentalRenaissance, eh

The average US foreign policy Serious Thinker^TM

I had some very nice mango today. 😌

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.” 🙄 www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

What is there even to say, fuck.

There will be many dumb takes presenting Anthropic heroically bc it clashed with Trump. But the time to worry about everything concerning Anthropic was BEFORE signing the contract that it didn't wish to abandon. America is in such steep decline that we don't even make Oppenheimers like we used to.

I really truly doubt the Americans are ever getting back to the moon. www.npr.org/2026/02/26/n...

i'm a big fan of magazines, investigative reporting, and longform, all of which requires staff and institutions, but the really really dire thing that indie media can't replace? the fucking wire services

If I see anyone who is not literally a professional political journalist live tweeting the speech tonight I'm calling your family members to stage an intervention

Ah, the new season of For All Mankind is in fact taking the goofy path once again.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

The days getting longer is (wow, surprise) doing so much for my mood.

Is it too early for a nap?

Like I said, the US men’s hockey team have already soured the victory. Partied with Kash Patel, laughed along with Trump at the women’s team being honoured alongside them. 🤷‍♀️

I made honey garlic pork tenderloin and it may just be the only way I make it going forward.

Creek is getting high.

Going to Quebec small town rinks you've never heard of giving thousands of dollars to goalie prospects whose names defy all facets of Anglocentrism

My years long dream of photographing a moose with aurora finally happened. #MissionAccomplished
