For his 100th birthday David Attenborough should get to surreptitiously release an animal of his choosing into the home of a big game hunter.

Did you know that [provocatively phrased counterintuitive statement]? It’s true. But [group you are predisposed to dislike] don’t want you to know, because of [thing flattering/unflattering to you/them].

Whats up now, Orc nerds?

Yeah but when the feds show up and the whole thing falls apart, you don't want to end up being the guy carrying the ice cream maker as you run for it.

None of which should be taken as a 'rehabilitation' of Caligula, who sucked. One wonders if this was the Roman military system continuing to just do its thing with technical excellence effectively even with a mercurial and unstable emperor. You know, like what the US military is doing now.

The sirens were really a teaching metaphor about honeypots and counterintelligence in a premodern environment send skeet

Danegeld making a surprise comeback

The nominal strategic purpose of the U.S. Navy is to ensure global freedom of navigation to guarantee stable global trade. It has not only not done that, the United States instigated the conflict which undid it. This is known in foreign policy analysis as a “whoopsie doodles.”

HOW THE FUCK DO WE HAVE SUCH GOOD SYSTEMATIC DATA ABOUT THE RENT BEING TOO HIGH, FUCK FACE? OH IS IT PEOPLE WITH ADVANCED DEGREES DOING THOSE ANALYSES????

In a normally functioning society we would be █████████ █████ ██████ in a town square.

”An engineering team at a large AI vendor decided that the user's machine is a deployment surface to be optimised for the vendor's product roadmap, not a personal device whose owner is the legal authority on what runs there.”

I'll point out - and of course I'll defer to medical professionals, but this is my understanding - if you're taking a MoCA every 4-6 months, the most likely reason is that you are experiencing rapid cognitive decline

Why is it always a problem that liberals are over-represented in higher education or media but it's not a problem that conservatives are over-represented in the military or law enforcement? What's the military doing to solve its catastrophic viewpoint discrimination problem?

like "oh no! a big monster that runs real fast! and has claws!!" guys i have got news for you about all the big monsters that run real fast with big claws: we wiped those suckers out with spears twenty thousand years ago

if you’re taller than 5’9” you are a selfish drain on society

The real California ideology is paying $7 / gallon and still driving every fucking where.

I would still posit that I alone have the combined fluencies in 90s R&B, enterprise networking, and food supply chains to make the Sisqó / Cisco / Sysco Podcast succeed. But who am I to deny the world the art it deserves?

If America is so racist, then how come a wealthy white man has been lavishing me with gifts ever since his company started having cases before the Supreme Court, on which I sit? by Clarence Thomas

Bring back the ancient knowledge

In 1916, the British Army combined the 2nd Dorsets and the 2nd Norfolks and the new unit was called the 2nd Norsets. This is delightfully silly for a situation caused by high casualties in 1916.

We should bring back Puritan names like “Thou woouldst be damned were it not for the blood of Christ” or whatever but with a modern liberal humanist twist. Naming my child “Republican Virtue” or “Labor Omnia Vincit” or “General Sherman Did Not Go Far Enough”

Math: you can choose any letter to serve as your variable Me: I choose “e” Math: No. Not that letter.

There are very real problem with AI that we should be discussing, like "How do you prevent deepfakes in a situation where the can be created at scale with Apple's cheapest computer?", and I'm getting very annoyed that the conversation about AI from its detractors is stuck where it is.

100 years ago isn't what it used to be. I remember when 100 years ago was all Tchaikovsky and bustles. 100 years ago now they had commercial air travel and Cadbury's Flakes

The main problem with the Glonzo strategy is that, since Glonzo is not actually real, or at best not a thing you can control, promising to eliminate Glonzo is going to blow up in your face if the thing being blamed on Glonzo keeps happening

My algorithm is taking me places you’ve never even dreamed of

But our phones, computers and appliances made in China are fine? Either it's all fine or it's all a dire threat to national security. We're not having a special rule just for things that compete with your donors interests.

Maybe wealth shouldn't be so concentrated in so few people that they can tank the whole market if we try to tax them. Oh well, no way to tell if it'll happen until we try it.

"Three young Barn Owls looking out of the quatrefoil of a church in North Norfolk."

This is still 100% true but there are going to be ups and downs along the way. The median person born in the future will be richer, healthier, more accepting and less violent than we are today. Kings, emperors and presidents have tried in vain to keep us from making a better world for 10K years.

Buddy, the humiliation has already happened for him and all of us. We launched a surprise war against a country a fraction of our size and seven weeks later we’re trying to negotiate our way back to status quo antebellum. Liberals accurately describing this situation is not the problem here.

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes tankies

“Yeah so we’re actually invading Pakistan soon! Nobody is supposed to know that, pretty cool, right?” said Patel, spilling his Don Julio as the bottle girl feigned interest in his long, rambling story.
