As I see, several things are true: 1) Over the past 45 years, wage growth for middle has been halting at best 2) Last 10 years has produced better wage growth than the previous 35, largely because we've had tighter labor markets 3) We're at risk of losing this: last month, price growth>wage growth.

Cairn is good although the climbing feels like it doesn't always work consistently in some spots

Just nuts how even after all this I'm still seeing people post like "this won't last long" or "wait till missiles hit US ships" "Serve up distractions and we eat em with fries / Till the bombs fall out of our fuckin skies" youtu.be/VuiR4AtH1fc?...

Whe I started hearing TACO used in meetings involving real world investors and policymakers I realised that our entire political world is now so excessively online that the global system might truly become irreperably f---ed

Trump after failed talks:

Guess we'll see how Vance failure for the stupid war gets written up since the deals currently rejected

holy shit, they popped an account with 22k followers and look at the spam network in the quotes. 5k quotes in 2 hours too.

fuck him up socrates

Pete Hegseth's Defense Dept appears to be caught in a lie. It involves deaths of 21 people (including at least 5 children), injuring 110 in Lamerd, Iran with sports hall and school. By a U.S. missile (PrSM) never before used in combat. NYT sources include: 3 US officials! 1/

Can go around the moon but can't make cloud init work fuck me

This right here: this is Silksong running on Proton, Fex, and other Valve-funded open-source tech. The seeds Valve planted years ago are already bringing Steam games to Arm hardware, up to and including cloud saves. It could use more power and cooling, but that's just a matter of time.

I thought about this during my walk and it seems fun to do for like six months before killing it with a thank you to the players

I know this because that staffer was me! For this part DIA had old, outdated, & therefore bad intel. You combine that with an exceedingly large targeting list & the removal of the personnel whose jobs included double checking these things & you've already got a high likelihood of a bad strike. 4/

The crying of bot 49

I wrote a short post-mortem on the Bluesky outage we had on Monday. First time using pckt, it was a really nice experience tbh! pckt.blog/b/jcalabro/a...

atproto app called thunderdome that implements the stupid shit people say to monetize the site "Pay money to deactivate accounts, replies cost a buck unless liked, global debate on X and people buy fake money with real money to place huge bets"

Ducked over to the Other Place to check on some Iranian opposition commentary and I think the discussion on this site is undervaluing the possibility that the confused Iranian responses to the ceasefire is the result of competing factions within the IRI and no one is 100% in charge at the moment.

Gay hipsters? In my area?? Want to talk with me??? Hot dog!

🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody. @kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

Israeli aircraft reportedly sprayed glyphosate over border farmlands in southern Lebanon & Syria’s Quneitra in Jan–Feb ‘26. Lebanese tests & UNIFIL samples found concentrations 20–30x above normal, killing crops. Israel said it is to deny militants cover. UN warned of humanitarian/environmental harm

does China want revise its place in the world? yeah probably. does this entail like, Cold War II? no, imo

taco night

"The sound that has been dominating all of Beirut for the past 3 hours is of ambulances going around." Civilians being killed. Hospitals overwhelmed. Displacement on unprecedented levels. Imran Riza, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon, updates on the current situation.

List of the places that Israel has bombed in Lebanon in the past hours alone. List is likely not full

all 'white' women... ALL white women.

Israeli Army: Largest Strikes on Lebanon Since War Began The Israeli military says it carried out its widest wave of airstrikes on Lebanon since the start of the war with Iran, launching 100 strikes in just 10 minutes.

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

JFC people on this site are so desperate for Trump to lose that too many would rather glory in any hint of his humiliation than wait and see if things might be a bit more complicated

@REDACTED how much do you weigh

US source says Israel agreed to temporary ceasefire; Lebanon conflict reportedly not included in deal.-N12 News

An explosive drone fell on a civilian house in Al Amiriya District in Baghdad tonight, killing a child and injuring his mother.

Time to move away from C was yesterday

this is a wild story. this level of detail cannot come without many of the principles talking to the reporters. this reads to me a whole lot like vance and rubio - especially - trying to cut their losses and throw the president under the bus. it's like something from W's second term circa 2007.

The “light side of the Moon” is because (we’re told) the Sun. Half = light. That’s why we see it. Same with Earth (day = half of Earth seeable). But, we can see one side of the Sun too. You catching on? ...Yup. What is the light side of the Sun because of?🤔

Reminiscing about my time living in DC. If you've lived in DC or spent time there, especially in the Cap Hill area, let's look at some of the places you could be killed for being in range of the blast radius of a Mk 84 2000lb bomb dropped by the USAF or Israeli Air Force on a legitimate target

new proof of concept: ATProtoCall! video calling over atproto with just static files and no dedicated signaling or streaming infrastructure.

Does your dislike for communism prevent you from answering simple questions too?

I am claude

damn aaron swartz tried to warn everybody about sam altman

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years. That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

I bleed, I bleed, I bleed some more

Someone on Roblox made a game where you simulate opening CS2 skin cases and it uses real CS2 market values? Like it's not a real money thing (though there are definitely things in there you can spend money on) but also... what?

it's not abandoned. we iterated on the communities concept after you left. it's on the horizon. events are top of funnel. goal is to harness these to draw people into communities. come for the event, find your niches (communities), and then connect with people in more siloed / private spaces.
