POW MIA flags are so funny, it’s like every post office having a flag that says “chemtrails”

This is a real thing a real person said. Astonishing how much contempt people hold in their hearts. Soul-poisoning.

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

The Bravo-ification of our nation’s landmarks

Fear of ‘crime’ wholly disconnected from reality isn’t just an individual level phenomenon, it’s a social one.

Incidentally, LAPD is turning and burning these helicopters at a ridiculous rate. At ~940 hours/year per airframe, their utilization rate is nearly 4x that of most military units. They’re redlining the fleet’s cycle-to-hour ratio just to maintain a constant loiter above Black neighborhoods.

If you say this the Uber tax for you specifically should be $100

NEW: I've been shocked by some of the numbers I've been seeing on behind-the-meter power plants for data centers, so I did a little math. less than a dozen gas plants being built to power data centers for big tech companies could emit a maximum of nearly 130 million tons of CO2e each year (!)

so that’s called “social murder”

The German carrier cancelled about 120 daily flights and said it would drop unprofitable routes from Munich and Frankfurt until the end of the summer season. ft.trib.al/TwuG4PD

So like sure a union could be good for meta workers but so could mass quitting. Like just fucking quit!

interesting piece on how Uber/rideshare companies are unaffected by global price shocks and are happy to let their drivers eat the full cost of lost wages restofworld.org/2026/gulf-wa...

Reading some travel blog and they say the number one mistake travelers make is booking their hotel before their flight. Are people really doing this? Why on earth would you not start with the actual traveling part

I think the thing that is most through the looking glass about graham platner is that, even sitting aside the nazi ties, he was literally a mercenary

Apart from everything else, this has nothing to do with how the Pharisees and their conflict with Jesus are depicted in the Gospels. Not even the opposite of it. Just completely orthogonal. Like someone who has no familiarity with the Bible stories at all.

If you have not yet learned to treat anyone making this argument with enormous skepticism I do not know how to help you; this is the political equivalent of arguing that a car with a blown engine needs a new coat of paint, but worse because there's actually nothing wrong with the paint.

The basic situation, as I see it, is that fascism has captured the entire top of society, including both parties, the tech industry, news and media, all cops, and wealthy landowners. But everyone else hates it and the more they see the more they hate it. So there's no obvious way to seal the deal.

Learned Hannah Arendt was Heidegger’s lover and remained close with him after the war. Never liked her but did not realize her psycho hollowness went so far

The Israeli army struck civilians in the Lebanese city of Mayfadoun. And then, the Israelis double-tapped the medics who arrived onto the scene. And then, they triple-tapped the next wave of medics. And then, they did it one more time for good measure.

I am choosing to view the palantir tweet paired with the milei speech as the capitalist class massively overplaying their hand

Leaving my house at sunset wow

This was absolutely one of the most striking things about moving from suburban Atlanta to Manhattan when I was in my 20s. I remember being back home for a visit and, like, struggling to articulate to my parents just how different—and how much better and friendlier—the world felt on foot.

Not exactly the kind of thing you want someone to suddenly decide we need a plan for

This is *fantastic* news.

I hope this is good news for queer Hungarians but from an outsider it feels like, at best, a "we won't actively persecute you" type of politics. further right than Joe Biden.

SOMEBODY stop ME

Remarkable. Paper products for 50 million people up in smoke because:

Jesus Christ.

This is getting attention, but afaik the second part is not accurate. New mRMA projects will not be initiated *under BARDA*, HHS has said. But mRNA research on pancreatic cancer and other initiatives are still going, as far as I know

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

What'd I say? SLOW DOWN and always— ALWAYS— start from the ground position that any claims made by any spokesperson for any "AI" corporation— any for-profit corporation, really— is an instance of them lying to you to hype their product and get your money.

We frequently say “NOW they don’t even try to disguise their intent” as if they always have previously, but look at Woodrow Wilson in 1907 lol like Jesus Christ

Finally doing something about the affordability crisis.

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death
