A @iwriteok.bsky.social Warhammer podcast?? Well, don't mind if I do

"Growers will see their smallest wheat crop in terms of production since 1972, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture; 1.56 billion bushels this year, down 21% from 2025."

You start out in 2024 by saying, "clanker, clanker, clanker." By 2026 you can't say "clanker" — that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, stochastic parrot, next-token predictor, and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract.

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hell yeah

OPINION: "At the middle school level, however, the pattern in Mississippi looks different. Improvements in fourth grade reading have not translated into similar gains in eighth grade reading," Brittany Adams, Elias Blinkoff, Karyn Allee and Kathy Hirsh-Pasek write.

jeff the man is posting unhinged nonsense at four in the morning while everything in your online storefront is being jacked up in price because of the stupid war he started and has no idea how to end put down the phone and step away from the group chat

One thing that happens a lot when people talk about Barney Frank's decision to cut trans people out of the employment nondiscrimination bill he wrote in 2007 is they'll go, "But wasn't it better to get something done rather than nothing? He was being a pragmatist!" But they've got it ALL wrong.

Way to instantly kill any theoretical credibility you might've had. The author, Steven Rosenbaum, tries to downplay this but the details make it clear this is a massive and disgusting error.

totally not groomed by telegram nazis

Track AIPAC is reading the room and the most unhinged antisemitic antizionists are really mad about it

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

3/ I owe this 3rd chart to @conorsen.bsky.social , who pointed out that "human resources" (really, broader; includes recruiters) is now rising at a decent clip too. This is typically a high beta version of overall postings, and maybe also very slightly leading (weeks at most)

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

No huge surprises so far for Oregon this election. Tax weariness probably explains 120's failure. Brown losing her seat is mostly B.S., but not shocking. Nor is Drazan winning the GOP primary. What a dreary governor's race this'll be.

this same basic logic caused the OceanGate disaster

Of all of the things that Platner has done to make me suspicious of him, cranking his hog in a porta shitter isn't one of them. He was enlisted. That is baseline enlisted dude behavior. Jerking it in a porta shitter is, arguably, is the most normal thing I've heard of him doing.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

I cannot emphasise this enough - every single person who has been killed in protests in Kenya since 2022 has. Been. Killed. By. The. Police. Civilians are not the ones shooting each other. Kenya does not have a protest problem - Kenya has a policing problem and a gov with no tolerance for dissent.

I really enjoyed this analysis of what we know so far about the recent (horrifying) diving tragedy in the Maldives. share.google/b5wLrnKW4P7Y...

most non-cybertruck 4x4 failures are people getting into situations they could've handled but don't, due to arrogance and lack of experience most Cybertruck failures are people trying to do things no vehicle can safely do, because they believe their car is magic

Not only that, but also Portland generates ~60% of Oregon’s GDP, half the State’s employment and more than half the tax revenue - those soy-pilled libs subsidize all those towns that resent its pull. ‘Everybody wins when Multnomah County and Portland is winning.’

Saw a local paper paraphrase a Republican candidate who talked about "the Portland bubble," in reference to the rest of Oregon. Folks. The Portland Metro (minus the parts of Washington state that are counted as part of the metro) is 47% of Oregon's population. Half is not a "bubble."

in fact a bigger deal in oregon politics is the “salem bubble” where talking about portland is considered illegitimate and you have to pretend the rest of the state subsidizes portland rather than the other way around

God this is just beautiful

may have to update my banner

the way incel guys describe women is no different, imo, from how paranoid conservatives describe regular cities as war zones.

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

I've read the manifesto and the San Diego mosque shooting is pretty clearly a Christchurch-inspired act of white supremacist terror

Yeah there's a larger story here about how the Texas Bargain - low taxes, cheap houses, good schools - ended up making the state way more competitive politically while the Florida Bargain - low taxes, cheap houses, you can do crimes here - made theirs less.

all these features are going to suck shit

New Event! 📆14th July 🕖7pm Pacific Time Join @edithmirante.bsky.social & @jamesstout.bsky.social for "Antifascist Histories, Current Scenes of Struggle" Talking about their books "Where the Mithuns Are" & "Against the State" At Clio's Books In Oakland. www.eventbrite.com/e/antifascis...

Just incredible. Any theoretical charges—there’s no indication there were any—would fall outside the scope of presidential immunity for official acts. Fascinating that Trump felt the need to pursue this. He seems to have found a way around the likely legal rule that a president can’t pardon himself.

primary every centrist democrat

He's going to double down on right wing politics in the immediate future (maybe even today). In 2018 he was working incredibly hard on increasing production and he was globally laughed at for his submarine idea - that was when his personality started shifting. This is how he deals with humiliation.

I've decided to reframe my self-indulgent behavior as part of a vast and timeless battle against pain and human suffering. so when i sleep for eleven hours, I'm not being lazy and undisciplined, I'm striking a blow in the global struggle against injustice.

GitHub Copilot moves to token based billing on June 1, and its users have now got a calculator that shows how much they've been actually burning every month - some $39-a-month users have spent $1500 to $5800 in tokens a month. Microsoft's subsidies are insane. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-what...

"According to Velloso, less than 3% of paying users actively use Copilot, even though Microsoft has pre-deployed it directly into the Windows 11 taskbar and across the Office suite." lol, lmfao

i think i shall avoid paying attention to the current Discourse here

Here is Elon Mush bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts.

as always it's important to point out this is a poll of Florida, the state, not a poll of Flo Rida, the musical sensation. I do not know why pollsters insist on omitting this critical information.

Tfw you run across your doppelganger in a news article about a couple who grow chairs out of trees

Sometimes when a bad thing happens, I'll shake my head and mutter, "Balls Mahoney would've hated this," even though I never know if that's really true. This is the highest honor I can award a public figure.

NEW: Sports Illustrated was accused of publishing an AI-generated article the content of which was plagiarized from a competitor -- and when we reached out with questions, it deleted the author's profile and entire archive of work futurism.com/artificial-i...

i legitimately didn't have a preferred outcome for this lawsuit. but at least Elon is probably pretty pissed right now

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.
