things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Text from Dems: "FUCKS SAKE" Text from Mamdani: <involuntarily start grinning>

Seems a great time to destabilize their neighbour by bombing them AKA “This will destabilize the middle east” vs “no it won’t”

Grim humour story: I grew up in Glasgow; the UK's nuclear submarine base is about 90 miles away as the crow (or ICBM) flies. At 13, I asked my dad: "Dad, if there was a nuclear war, what would happen?" Dad: "The Russians would nuke Faslane, and Glasgow too, we'd all be incinerated". 1/

Proposing RFC for OD-JSON (IETF-8383) OD-JSON is a JSON data representation, wherein OD stands for 'Original Data'. In the scheme, data is stored in its original, useful format, and a small JSON 'sidecar' describing the data is present. This is recommended to be '{}' or ideally omitted entirely.

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

"There are many proteins to choose from, other than beef - have you considered soy beans? We have really a lot of those right now. I can't speak to why we have so many, I hadn't seen that news, no more questions, thank you"

“Ramesses was a consummate self-publicist and a completely unscrupulous one at that. To save time and money, he simply changed the inscriptions on pre-existing sculptures. So that they bore his name and glorified his achievement” Plus ça change? 🤔

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

"I would rather have a deal than not" We had a deal, you weapons grade plum.

Literally

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Is this good

Other important modern medical questions to answer for yourself: "Before anaesthetics did they just do the operation anyway and sucks to be you and maybe you died anyway?" "Before vaccines did a shit ton of people die of terrible diseases?"

Lot of hype, still waiting to hear solutions for: 1 cooling GPUs in space, without convection 2 Shielding GPUs from high energy particles, which means either or both: 2a A lot of dense material 2b GPU redesign to be error-correcting / bit flip tolerant 2a&b seem prohibitively expensive.

I've got really into all the free stuff Cory Doctorow puts out there but I'm pretty worried he's just pulled me in and will now worsen his service deliberately

Replicant Annie Lennox and David Bowie as a piece of mint gum sing Under Pressure in memory of Freddie Mercury, incredible. Were they like, rub hands together, ok let's crack out this classi... oh shit neither of us has the range, we'll both do it?

Who up worsting they times, besting they times

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

There are very few things ever written that have had an impact on me like this. I tear up just reading it. The first lines are the most well known, but the entire speech is remarkable and speaks to tyranny, cruelty & environmental degradation. I encourage you to read it in the link (it's short)

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Beginning to think we should build a fake capitol and have a regular storming, as a honey trap.

A handyman from Florida who received a pardon from President Trump for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was convicted on state charges of child sex abuse and exposing himself to a child. n.pr/4tx7oVq

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

She really just said why are you talking about the mass coverup of child rape when you should be talking about money

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

"Get back in the lab" is the modern "Fix your hearts or die"

Odd to me* that this punitive, 'cruelty is the point' admin, whose solution to everything is 'moar punishment' are ok with Maxwell taking the 5th and saying she'll spill for clemency. Now they're all 'whaddya gonna do 🤷‍♂️'. Where's the admin that would say 'spill all or CECOT'? *not really

Kid Rock’s genre is: at court in purple suit and rat tail to contest unpaid child support

I like that Bannon let the pretence drop - 'so at the mid-terms ICE will surround polling stations' What immigration or customs issues will they be enforcing at polling locations Steve? Ah, just paramilitaries then. We're a long way from 'deport violent gang members in the country illegally'.

Looks like the billionaires forgot to pay protesters, for this, the greatest paid protestor open goal possible.

"Jeeves, you will be late for the billionaire march, I do expect you and the downstairs staff to attend on my behalf"

speaking of does SF suck or not, I present: dorks you’re allowed to mock

Anni Jyn reminds me of a stone cold classic.

This Epstein 'nothingburger / democrat hoax / time to move on' really is effective, it appears to be close to bringing down the prime minster of Britain.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Is it by any chance a reskinned version of Amazon pharmacy, run by his old friend who bought Melania's movie rights?

Where are the people who screamed nonstop about “FREEDUM”? Or was it all just about who was in charge at the time?

Absolutely incredible, more of this

Hold on, hold on - I thought JD Vance, our trustworthy Vice President, said hatred of ICE was a weirdly MN thing they were going to get to the bottom of?

New Mexico Department of Health investigators have been unable to detect the precise cause of the Listeria infection which killed the infant, but said unpasteurized milk the infant’s mother drank during pregnancy was the “most likely source.”

When part of the URI is 'elon-musk-sexual-deepfakes-holocaust-rcna257202' and your offices are raided because of child porn... The NBC headline downplays significantly.

'Feds Identify "Leader of Antifa"'

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

@trashfuture.bsky.social, @edzitron.com full time snark presenter when? Or: I will accept a side-car podcast "Trash AI Future" with Ed once a week, with a "Jensen Huang Corner" for his foibles and insanity. Nothing less though.

At a time when Black history is being erased, places like the Louis Armstrong House matter more than ever. That’s why I’m proud to partner with the Louis Armstrong House Museum to offer free admission to all visitors on Saturday, February 7th.

I am so very glad. But this is one 5yo and one dad, what about all the others we don't have film of, and didn't hear about.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles
