Important to remember that 15 mins ago we were on the brink of World War III, global collapse and potential nuclear Armageddon and not a single person from either party in the federal government did a single fucking thing to stop it. He got cold feet of his own volition. They didn't lift a finger.

Finally: This also applies to use of non-nuclear weapons against nuclear & petrochemical facilities in densely populated regions. While consequences for global climate in such a scenario are lower, the risk of large scale radiological or other toxic contamination is very real.

This isn't even a question of "nuclear winter" (a real, if still scientifically debated, hypothetical risk stemming from a much larger-scale exchange). Instead, it's a question of large-scale radiological and toxic contamination as well as disruption of global weather patterns.

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

Mortal Kombat was actually based on a Scandinavian church song. It was a Finnish hymn

starting my morning opening up LinkedIn so i can let the shareholders know i survived the night and can still generate value. i slept 5 hours so i made sure to tag 12 people in my post to share what i learned about unconventional markets (the world of dreams). i change my job title to PR laureate

It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

As a lifelong atheist, I enjoy these memes so much! Here's another one that I grabbed, as I have this one.

Heard through the ceiling of my apartment tonight: (cat wailing) Person: No!! (cat wails some more) Person: You do not want that! Spit it out! (even louder wailing) Person: That is a potato! You are an obligate carnivore!! #ahcats #lifeinapartments

Tbh the best evidence for the existence of god that I’ve ever been presented is that her plan includes the Cowboys going 30 years and counting without even getting to an NFC Championship

one thing i will say as a general statement to all coaches of all teams at all levels: if you’re going to credit god for a win, i wanna see you out there after a loss being like “yeah, god fucked us over today, really let us down out there”

MUPPET TRENT REZNOR: what have I become / my swedish friend? SWEDISH CHEF: ervie wurr ye durr gurrs awerre en de ern

Same graph, but with the time series expanded to three years. Honestly, it's a minor miracle that a social media company not backed by oligarchs or the state, with no attempt at establishing a revenue stream, and with multiple established competitors, had so much growth in such short time

This is NOT what I signed up for

Carter: Colonel! O'Neill (p90 pointed offscreen): come on, Daniel, what does it say? Daniel Jackson: well if Im reading this right, they worshipped a being named "Miette", who had the power to imprison you for... one thousand years... Teal'c: I believe it would be most unwise to awaken this "Miette"

Alfred R. Kahn: "Well, kids, this is where you would watch our dub of 'Pokémon: Battle Frontier'... except they're with The Pokémon Company now. So, here's Eastern Europe's favorite creature cartoon, '...And Plays Tricks'!" (1978, Priit Pärn)

Congrats on Donald Trump for inventing the first Pyrrhic Loss

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

Dylan goes slop

What an idiotic plan. They'd have to invade Iran with tens of thousands, establish a beachhead, push to where the uranium is (deep inside the country), then assault a heavily fortified underground complex they can't bomb for fear of aerosolizing the stored uramium and poisoning half of Europe.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

"On posts from r/AmITheAsshole, AI systems affirm users in 51% of cases where human consensus does not (0%)." Pure perfection. No notes.

I kind of formatted it to look slightly better.

genuinely why does anyone report anything he says at all as if it means anything still

it will take generations for the world to trust America again but imo we can speed run it by shipping people to The Hague. As a gesture of like “we get it.”

this is what happens when you let this much wealth and power concentrate in the hands of so few people nobody wants any of this but them and they’re the only ones who get a vote

Deeply amused to learn that JP creators are now aware of what Surf Dracula is.

For no particular reason, I was just thinking about how they tried to get people fired from their jobs for being insufficiently sad after Charlie Kirk died.

Concentration camps. Use the term. Do not stop using the term until this current American regime falls and the camps are liberated. Then use the term in The Hague. This is Trumpism. This is white nationalism. This is he moral gutter into which America has fallen.

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos
