I should've asked Zelensky for permission to have the saint petersburg economic forum like I had to for the parade.

BREAKING: The California Raisins have become the latest act to pull out of Trump’s Great American State Fair.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

this is why all the software is so bad, imo. not even because like "men are bad" but just imagine how gnarly the social dynamics would have to be to get an outcome like this, and then those people were put in charge of designing the mediums for doing socialization on..........madness

sometimes I wonder if people in other fields have any clue what we go through as women in computational fields... (graph from: www.npr.org/sections/mon...)

I don't think Tulsi Gabbard was on the Russian payroll. But I do think she's been drinking from the Russian propaganda Kool-Aid for a long time. She genuinely believes it and the daily intelligence brief which she gave to the President was run through that lens. But again, she did it for free.

this is the most millennial dad joke ever conceived

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Never in the field of human endeavour has so much been fucked up for so many by so few.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

3 actual quotes from this piece: “Can I afford the tax? Yes. Is it going to deter me? No. But I think it’s shameful. I provide a lot of money to people who are blue-collar workers who work for me, servers in restaurants." giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

if you have a factory that makes components for air defence and it gets hit by a missile, does that count as an interception by air defence forces? asking for a dictator friend

“I really wanted the women of the party to be as central to the story in the film as they were in the organizing.” “…honey, the reason why some of these people are still alive today and still living and working and raising hell is because of the women.”

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

this race-bending the new musketeers thing is taking it way too far, next they'll be claiming Dumas was black or something

It was great to speak with the Frederick News Post about my run for Congress in #MD06! My degree in computer science + 7 years of experience working on Wall Street prior to the 2008 crisis has left me stridently opposed to the construction of AI data centers. Learn more at ElectAlexis.org ❤️

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

CENTCOM told me Iran keeps hitting their high-value assets so I asked how many they have and they said they just go to the Pentagon and get new ones afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding high-value assets to the Iranians and then INDOPACOM started crying

harry potter helps people like me, people who have always felt a little different. a little special. maybe a little better than everyone else

It is 2026 and our President lies so much that Americans wait to hear from Iran to find out the truth of what is going on

Plans for the USMC to seize Khragy Island don't make any sense to me.

Between this and everything else, I’m getting a feeling that Israel’s leadership has not, in fact, thought things out. They seem intent on speedpainting Israel into a corner it can’t extricate itself from. Looking up to Rhodesia for strategy guidance!

Americans reacting to Iranian FPV drones is my entertainment for today

the extra space in Marco Rubio's shoes

Big brain stuff right here

CENTCOM told me his unplanned war kept eating interceptors so I asked how many interceptors he has and he said he he just goes to INDOPACOM and gets a new Interceptor so I told him it sounds like he’s just feeding INDOPACOM interceptors to his unplanned war and his strategy cheese started crying.

The consequences will be severe, because while the US still enjoys preponderant power and will for some time, that power is finite, unevenly distributed and being wasted profligately. Legitimacy makes it easier to use power, and easier to stop its abuse by others. We will miss it when it is gone.
