Plenty of justified talk about Nuremberg lately, but here’s a reminder that anything this man “builds” will also get the Nuremberg treatment:

At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity. They get off on the suffering. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

don’t forget that wilson thinks black people should be enslaved!

Current metal obsession: bands built around frogs. On one end of the spectrum: deathcore/brutal death metal group, Frog Mallet. On the other end: stoner doom and smudge metal band, Froglord. Gotta love a theme 🐸

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

As the Integrity crew splashed down TO THE MINUTE of their estimated arrival and hit the BULLSEYE, this is a reminder that Katherine Johnson was an absolute genius. My God. #NASA #ArtemisII

One of the Artemis astronauts started clapping when they splashed down. Same one who reclined their seat in the capsule.

Everything is fine 🫠

Are we winning yet?

"Luddites" is a good term for those who oppose AI because the Luddites weren't against *all* technology, just forms of technology that they knew would pay workers less and turn out a shittier product

Good anniversary for it.

There’s a long and storied history of workers sabotaging their workplaces to make a point when owners mistreat and exploit them. Paying a living wage with good benefits and union protections would’ve been cheaper.

Yeah…just about everyone I know in tech (admittedly a small sample size) is terrified by Project Glasswing

Happy 161st Confederate Surrender Day to you and yours

I regret to inform you that waking up earlier than usual to get a six-mile bike ride in is unfortunately invigorating.

RIP Hugo, you would have loved this.

Grateful to the Trump administration’s geopolitical blunders for giving me a reason to talk about Hugo Grotius in class for the first time in years.

Mercantilist extortion: “It’s a beautiful thing.”

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

hot take: i think the move in the direction of a more explicitly extortion based international order is bad actually. I also do not especially relish the idea of re-boning up on mercantilism

Say it with us, folks: Union-Busting Is Disgusting!

I think more people would appreciate the gravity of this if they looked at it from the perspective of the office, rather than the doddering egomaniac who occupies it. “But Trump this, Trump that…” Stop. This is the Presidency of a nuclear superpower issuing unilateral genocidal threats.

Really good interview with Coates, where he does not at all bend or back down on his solidarity with Palestinians. He also does a good job of cautioning against the Tucker Carlson phenomena while explaining how the circumstances have created a hole in left-of-center discourse on the issue of Gaza.

To all you people posting about “distractions” and the Epstein files: we get it. Take a day off. We’re talking about a presidential threat of genocide and nuclear war. People are being killed. Please get some perspective.

Was $4.29 for regular in Buffalo when we drove home Sunday, $3.99 here in central Ohio as of this morning. Funny thing is, the real supply shock still hasn’t hit.

the way people have absolutely zero principles genuinely disturbs me. they believe nothing and will say anything that brings them their next paycheck. this is no way to live. it’s disgusting. i do not understand how this isn’t a bot and an actual real human being

God this poem is haunting me again.

BDS for the U.S., imo. Especially prestige items like the World Cup, Olympics, G7 Summit, etc.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Waxing rhapsodic about genocide is really something.

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

Stoner Doom Metal is such a fun sub genre because you get bands with names like Telekinetic Yeti putting out tracks like “Ancient Nug.” How can you not love it?

He’s not your buddy, guy!

This is a fun page-turner and all, but there’s a dark energy about the writing that I can’t quite place. Like if the protagonist were to suddenly start dropping slurs and being casually misogynistic it wouldn’t surprise me at all.

It’s no Cheesesteak, Reuben, or Cuban, but as far as regional sandwiches go you could a lot worse than the Beef on Weck. Glad to have had my first couple during this trip and hope to enjoy many more!

Getting older is realizing shit like this kicks the hell out of orders of battle diagrams and debating the relative strength of German panzer models.

Big day for McKinleyheads: we hit the place where he was shot, saw the room where his successor was sworn in, and saw both murder weapon and the murderer’s manacles.

Nothing more American than putting a monument to a president’s assassination on a small rock in the middle of a median on a residential neighborhood street 🫡

Worth it, though

I’ve spent one (1) full day driving around Western New York and experiencing the demolition derby of tire-eviscerating potholes that is your roads. My only question for all of you is,

republicans genuinely think you are cattle designed to suffer for their glory

Obligated to repost anytime this photo makes the rounds online as a reminder to all to what peak middle-aged dad vibes look like

really makes u think

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.
