I would hope that at least a big part of the answer is that Google redirects a big chunk of the inference infrastructure currently serving lies to unsuspecting search users to find vulnerabilities instead, as well as redirecting a bunch of the human effort serving more lies to users to fixing them

Full disclosure here: I'm trying to assemble a second set of Neopets Magazine so we can re-digitize it for the library! The existing scans are incomplete/we can't use them

Serious query: Did anyone out there subscribe to Neopets The Official Magazine and keep their issues?

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

The correct response to this missive is Two Weeks to Impeach & Remove. Anything else is aiding and abetting these crimes.

thinking about the old Iranian uncle in Bombay who told me like 15 years ago during a whole diff US-Iran conflict "let them come everyone who invades Iran either leaves or becomes Iranian" maybe uncle was onto something there

Being on vacation right now like

The rare conflict resolution that meets the political objectives that both countries have prioritised. Iran has been obsessed with the Hormuz Strait for decades and it's in their lap. USA has been obsessed with eggs for 2 years and it's in on their face. The Art of the Deal

anyway now we can get back to the nation's more pressing issues: banning transgender women in mixed-sex cornhole duos

Remember, even if it's a more PG-13 context? Massive rises and falls in brain chemicals mean you have to take care of yourself. Order take out, wrap yourself in a cozy blanket, be with a loved one, hydrate (this is what electrolytes are great for!), and whatever makes you feel secure.

The world works because most people, most of the time, want it to work

i am fuckin weary, girls

This dude is not even running for office again!!! and the best he's got for terrified constituents and 90 million Iranians is a weenie fuckin "Trump does not even represent most Americans" like we're ironing out budget allocations for pothole repair

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

I’d say this aged pretty well

And as a former advocate for survivors of domestic violence let me tell you how much that destroys the victim’s sense of safety. Doesn’t matter that the abuser never pulled the trigger. The harm is done and the trauma is forever. That’s also what Trump just did. 2/2

It is the most dangerous kind of abuser that threatens to kill their partner, points the gun to their head, and then lowers the gun at the last possible minute. That’s what Trump just did. 1/

What we fail to say is also a message. Not calling for Trump's impeachment and removal conveys he has not committed offenses that warrant these actions. Or, at best, that you feel he has and are unwilling to do your duty and use the remedy written into our Constitution for presidential crimes.

Oh hey, with all the 🔥 I almost missed that today was the 12th anniversary of Heartbleed. The online test I cobbled together that night gave me the opportunities to get started in this line of work! Initially it was hilariously bad: a Flask server shelling out to a patched Go crypto/tls binary.

FIRE AFTERMATH: The largest wildfire Nebraska has ever seen left a lot of damage in its wake, including at ranches and on grazing land that will take time to recover. From Molly Ashford of Nebraska Public Media News: nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/04/07/l...

Unpopular take, the rest of the world actually WANTED America as a more stable baseline for the international economy & NATO powers. They would not WANT America as some European style parliamentary state with massive shifts & regular coalitional upheavals. That's bad for business.

If you think an account might be a legit human posting in real time, check the account age/history/who follows them/credentials, e.g. if someone says 'I'm a BBC Middle East correspondent in Dubai,' you should be able to confirm that from their history and finding bylines at the BBC!

It takes legit news orgs a minute to verify things, so if you see something on here that's like 'people are reporting missile strikes' it might not show up immediately, but if it's legit, it will. (Should be noted that some accounts are actual humans in these places reporting on what they see!)

Grifter and aggregator accounts LOVE chaotic, unstable, and rapidly fluctuating situations and absolutely prey on them for attention and clout. They're also going to try to convince you that they have a scoop/exclusive/access to info you don't. They don't, they're just follow farming.

ESPECIALLY if something is enraging or validating, double-check that source. And in turn, when sharing information, CITE YOUR SOURCE. WITH A LINK.

Also a perennial reminder that in times of fast-moving news, a TON of unverified photos, videos, audio, and 'news stories' circulate, go viral, and perpetuate misinformation. Please take time to double-check things before posting and/or sharing! Verifying reports can take time.

Smart people who get themselves a brainworm are actually really good at finding justifications and rationalizations for why the brainworm is good and righteous and the truest expression of intelligence and reason itself.

kidd is here to provide shenanigans

The answer is almost always yes

it’s actually really common for intellectuals to get completely microwaved by racism. so if your intellectual starts saying some racist shit consider whether or not you need to throw them out

I have more in common with an Iranian who, like me, loves Thoreau than I do any American who supports this war. I'm unable to express how upset I am with how cosmically unfair this all is

we're all living with a violent abusive stepdad

““Trump must resign” is a clear moral statement, and it puts the onus to respond entirely on the most powerful, most evil person in the country, who refuses to fulfill any of his obligations, including the obligation to remove himself if he refuses to fulfill his oath.

This guy too! And yeah, don't know why I'm thinking about this today... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_...

Or from reporters who are passing off other people’s reporting and fail to include links to

I think people feel underwhelmed bc they compare to the protest culture of the 60s, which they learned about from “life in the 60s” clips invoked for decades on TV as shorthand for the era. Like an “establishing shot.” But that’s like thinking every building in DC is a pointy obelisk.

For the last 6 months we have watched ordinary people put their lives at risk for their neighbors while the powerful retreat in cowardice. Just regular folks pummeled with chemical weapons and shot dead in the streets fighting for what's right and good. There are heroes all around you. Find them

Other suggestions if you like: -Find a smell that makes you feel safe and find a way to keep it close. -stretch, because you're probably clenching like whoa right now. -take a quick walk or move your body for a second. -drink another glass of water, cause adrenaline is rough and water helps

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

"He is the president, and his words have meaning, and he has publicly committed the United States to the extermination of an entire nation. If Trump gives that order, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should lay his stars down in front of Trump." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The Republican Party in Congress is holding the country hostage to a madman

My rowing coach once commented that a lot of people aren't willing to practice the things that would make them suck less.

The lesson you should take from this is not “I’m too far away from DC to do anything” It’s “there are current living examples of Americans doing things where they are”

I keep seeing people say “why aren’t people doing something to stop this?” but this is the endpoint of the consolidation of executive power. There’s very little that can be done! One of the ways we’re going to have to fix things is figuring out what to do about that.

I drank a toast to Stanislav Petrov.

Trump appears to be set to bomb the power plants' "generation hulls." That could disable electric power for many months. As one expert tells me, this would "almost surely lead to a major humanitarian disaster for tens of millions of ordinary Iranians." 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Greg. I'm immensely grateful for your work. But this and the election piece are so devastating. You've left me shook to my core many times. Can't imagine what its like to do what you do. Thank you. You also deserve to just live on Maui and write and chill. share.google/OoEJIqpJGlaH...
