But what happens if you miss the star?

“There’s no reason to expect that Trump’s Iranian debacle will prevent him from lighting yet another match of chaos or conflict. In fact, experience teaches that Trump bristling from a failure makes him more, not less, likely to do something equally stupid, and to do so soon.”

It appears that Trump's OMB illegally sold off NCAR's space weather program to the for-profit company Lynker in January, before NSF publicly requested bids in a Dear Colleague Letter with a deadline of tomorrow.

The inaugural FIFA Peace Prize winner:

I’m not going to link to that bad Twitter propaganda video of the government bombing Iran set to Wii Sports footage but I think Nintendo’s legal department should continue to sue our government for every penny they’re worth.

I think I may have cracked it

I feel like I must have gone over the hump on insanity because I am genuinely amused by the whole Strait of Hormuz situation & cannot stop giggling We're all so fucked

The US military is great at lethality. Truly world-class. Point to something and the US military can kill everyone there. But lethality is a means, not an end. Ends are inherently political. Said millions of times but bears repeating, since the people who don’t get it are in charge of the country.

I get that a lot of countries depend on good relations with whatever government the U.S. has for economic or security reasons, but surely hardly any of that applies now, especially to places like this. Why not just kick every fucking Trump ambassador out and put a stop to this kind of shit

This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is. People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Shame on Senator Tuberville: Keep New York City out of your bigoted mouth. This Jewish New Yorker is proud that we elected our first Muslim mayor. (2/2)

The FAA Administrator made a point of being in flight at midnight of December 31, 1999 / January 1, 2000, to project confidence that the agency had adequately dealt with Y2K problems. This feels like the least the current cabinet could do ...

These are the "ideas" you get from some dipshit who couldn't finish college He knows nothing about what intelligence is so of course he thinks its reducible to a completely fungible commodity Domain expertise? Never heard of it

Upside down, by the ankles, and then treat him like a piñata.

It's funny because he's the dumbest man in America

They used to give people Like this sporks to eat with

The thing about the attack vs interceptors is that the interceptors have to win 100% of the time and the attack only have to hit once

"I would be normal 150 years ago" Do you have any idea how deranged that makes you today?

There should be a term for when someone presents ”serious” content (prose, slides, etc) with overtly AI stylistic markers as if no one will notice they took it straight from a chatbot. I’m noticing it a lot in an academic context & it always seems so tacky. Maybe, You have AI on your face?

we’re doing the meme ourselves now

Trump at wartime

god PLEASE do this and yes to the follow-up recommending a local permitting system. if you have a drivers license in your zip code you can buy a parking spot! but there is a body shop in my neighborhood that just stores all the cars they're working on on the street and it suuuuuucks

Ah, yes www.jstor.org/stable/2626775

*Norman Rockwell guy* I don't think assassination is good foreign policy

"this would fix me" but its literally just a society that isnt constantly out to get me and the ones I love

Luckily, there are enough unflattering photos of Pete Hegseth on Getty Images to last a lifetime

AI scraping breaks libraries 📚📜

we are seeing this everywhere, over and over again. Also, human scale downloading is specifically different than bot-scale Get the things you want while you still can

Most people don't realize how much of the U.S. immigration detention system is run by private companies and how much money is involved. 🧵

again, if you put this into a work of fictional satire about the Presidency, people would think you're laying it on a little too thick and yet

As hard as the original

Bombs are still being found in Dresden. #smh

It’s the result of massive bot activity, downloading data at a scale which our infrastructure has found challenging. We have been finding this across all our metadata resources in recent months.

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood. trade disputes and conspiracies ✔️ republic subverted over sex hangups ✔️ “sand people” killed, royalty indifferent ✔️ naive idiot casts vote for tyranny ✔️ villains with silly names like “dooku” ✔️ powerful clerical order screwing up ✔️ list goes on

We owe him an apology

Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.

This is like walking out of Ft Knox with wheelbarrows full of gold bars. I think state AGs should look to prosecute for the victims in their states.

It's important for the public to be able to reuse #RescuedData, but the context a README or similar documentation provides is necessary for understanding. Be like Barbie. Help yourself have a great day every day, and on this #MemeMonday, remember to document your data.

You can definitely follow sports on Bluesky. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

I’m never going to able to forgive trump voters. Literally ending the world because they thought it was their god given right to punch down

each additional word became more horrifying

One of the worst developments in history is that I have to see this man's name constantly.

This is so dope. One of my favorite times of year was when the Philly sports teams would invite all the food writers to try the new stuff coming out at concessions before the season started, but they were never as cool as this.
