Losing $13.5B on $4.3B revenue in 6 months: “Is this $200M annual revenue in 5 years?”

Good evidence this morning for why I basically never think of any bikeway as "protected" (vs separated). This fence was still intact as of Thursday. Today's drivers and engineers are reckless and dangerous enough that drivers will manage to crash into anything, even with curb separation.

Did we think people climbed large organizations by making a habit of triumphing in difficult fights with greater power? We've been a nation of peacetime laws long enough that most everyone at the top of large orgs got there by sucking up, and maybe kicking downward. Visigoth raiders we are not.

Hats off and hands up 🙌 to @EpicLava for this astonishing capture of the Hawaiian nēnē on the wing...past the lava fountains of Eruption 32 of Kīlauea Volcano at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park! Mahalo for the permission to repost, Epic Lava! #nēnē #kilaueavolcano #hvnp #epiclava #wowjustwow

they don't want pussy. they want to endlessly critique pussy

"Debate me" folks clearly unfamiliar with the actual LD debate rules, where you don't get to pick which side you argue, and both debaters have to argue both sides at different points.

“Piss on my boots and tell me it’s raining”-ass administration.

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

Editorial fellow Shi En Kim joined avian researchers to check on American kestrel nest boxes around Mount Diablo, California.

This came to me in a vision

Patrick Henry expressed concern that the President “may easily become king,” James Madison replied that this would not occur because “[t]he purse is in the hands of the representatives of the people.” Full Henry quote on "you Senate" below: teachingamericanhistory.org/document/pat...

Extremely painful 38 minutes of letting her blame Blair and praise Trump until the basic question "if you ran the country while the rot developed, why should anyone give the Tories another chance?"

Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.

Has there ever been a millenarian cult that spent hundreds of billions of dollars on trying to create the rapture before? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

That’s a *lot* of debt. (While it confirms Chicago’s vulnerability, it does raise extra questions about the behavior of a Penn or Columbia)

Ever heard of Storey county? 4k people, no planning, no services, the Commission is run by the developers. Just an old mining tourist town and over the mountain billions in datacenter and industrial investment trying to ride the back of actual municipalities next-door without any oversight.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. I think it’s time to scrap the cap.

Genuinely curious if the secret service pats down the other heads of state, because how do none of them stab him for making them put up with this?

Hahaha, I love this photo of a snake nerd researcher from the Phoenix Herpetological Society using a fake leg to step on rattlesnakes & see how likely they are to bite. He "stepped" on 175 of them, and was bitten by only SIX. Snakes desperately want to just get away! 🐍🧪 www.npr.org/2024/05/17/1...

the 5 cats in this apartment have a better transit system than my 500k person metro area.

Excess articulation is terrible for maintenance costs and 90% of the time looks worse than a simpler, cheaper design with basic finishes and some lintels.

Simple Boxes with Ornamentation are better than One Box Pretending To Be Lots of Boxes

They tell you when you get pregnant to start saving for college. No one tells you to start saving for daycare if the first date goes well.

We stopped expanding the House in the 1920s, decided the Supreme Court should freeze in the 1930s, added the last states in the 1950s, amended the Constitution only once in the last fifty years. The USA and its government continued to grow, but almost all that growth came in the executive branch.

#ICYMI: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

There is no legal or political system that can hold together a culture that has lost all sense of public morality or shame.

Reno: when?

This little Mojave Desert tortoise that was wandering around on the main road for the Greenlink West NW material yard thought my boots were really interesting, and walked over to me to get a better look:

monsters should not have standardised stats or moves they’re scary monsters who the fuck knows what theyre capable of the only number you should know about monsters is how many are they and even that is too much certainty

The Double Duplex is a type of housing in Los Angeles that could become common in Berkeley also. Popular with students and other singles, each bedroom suite has its own bath and is rented separately. Since each building only has two kitchens, it can be built using the simpler Residential Code. 8/

All financial news now is essentially: -The US president is a child rapist who lies about everything -Laws functionally no longer exist -Int'l trade will be taxed exorbitantly for the foreseeable future -Agricultural labor is being disappeared -Consumer confidence is falling -New S&P 500 record! 🥳🎉

"Gonna build some DOGE keystones into the fortress balance sheet. What could go wrong."

I thought Dimon's whole bit was that he was willing to forego juicing profits to avoid taking on systemic risk that others ignore or improperly value?

Temptation may be the Original moral hazard, but Impunity is its greatest enabler.

Starlink's connection speeds drop below the federal definition of "broadband" at a density of ~7 customers per square mile, according to recent research. The more the customers in an area, the slower everybody's connections get. Data shows that 83% of US Starlink customers get sub-broadband speeds.
