Nightmare scenario is unrelated conflicts erupt such as China/Taiwan, India/Pakistan, North Korea/South Korea. This could spiral to full blown WW3.

Ugh. Did the equivalent of about 40-50 flights of stairs today at work. I'm feeling it now.

Yeah, I'm pretty open about my contempt for them.

Leavenworth is not big enough for all the people that should go there.

If Anthropic dies, can I have their RAM and a few SSDs?

Just called and it took me fully 1 minute and 38 seconds from start to finish to talk to the friendliest guy on planet Earth. You have no excuse not to call. Do it, Michiganders, or I'll tag you and be a menace in your mentions until you do it 👀

I loaded up The Chipmunk Adventure soundtrack on my elementary aged niece's iPad. She was absolutely delighted and played the same track over and over. It had the opposite effect on my nephews in middle and high school. They were annoyed with me, haha. I view this as successful uncle-ing.

Maybe we'll get lucky and the RAM shortages from AI will kill off "smart TVs" and we'll be left with just dumb displays with excellent picture quality.

I had to stand outsidefor about 45 mins in the 30-40 mph winds as the temp dropped to freezing today. A lady literally got blown to the ground. I hope she was ok.

Hey all my adventure weirdos: If you need some dot watching, ITI starts soon! It should hold you over until the Tour Divide and other summer bike races get rolling.

Prusa XL (size/toolhead switching) + CORE One enclosure. Make it happen.

Will the bar next door turn off their blaring outdoor music at closing time on a Monday night in February? Signs pointing to no. I suppose they're playing it for the completely empty parking lot.

My senator proudly "both sidesing" corrupt pardons.

Why are so many people sharing short videos on the text app for 38 year olds?

If I keep refreshing the status page, will my library delivery show up faster?

What US state borders would look like if they were based on rivers and mountains

Good luck Maria

The people that control all the money are just completely detached from reality.

tom homan is a bitch

To prison.

In my opinion, the State of Michigan should seize the Ambassador Bridge through eminent domain. No private entity should own a vital piece of infrastructure like that, especially not one that facilitates an international border crossing.

Absolutely crazy that you hear about a guy named Rashad Johnson getting arrested in MN for sex trafficking minors and when you google him for more information you get news articles of a completely different Rashad Johnson arrested for sex trafficking minors a few weeks ago in New Orleans.

About 2 weeks ago I was in the library and I overheard one of the librarians recommending Glenn Beck to someone and I just can't shake it.

In Constitution 2.0, all states will be required to be States. No more of this "Commonwealth" business.

I heard about a situation and I guess I'd just like to tell everyone: If you want to work at a nuclear power plant, don't do drugs.

The current Supreme Court was appointed over a span of 31 ('91-'22) years. Republicans were President for 42% of them (13/31) and yet get 67% of the seats.

I think I'm liking this guy for MI AG. Actually going to vote for him (in person convention during the day when I'll be working midnights) is going to suck, but I think I'm going to have to make it.

Swing states should do a massive expansion of their public university systems. There is a lot of talent being pushed out of red states, and the influx of college students, faculty, and admin will increase the Democratic vote share.

What we are seeing from federal immigration agents across the country has been deeply concerning. bridgemi.com/michigan-gov...

It really makes me mad that Apple deliberately makes their texting with non-iOS users suck as a ploy to get people to move to their phone platform.

I know people are printing a bunch of whistles and sharing their designs, but I wish the 3D printing community would stop supporting Maker World as a platform to share models. It requires downloaders to make an account to get any of the models. I suggest Printables or Thingiverse instead.

It's not too early to announce a 2028 senate run in NY.

Some people on here were saying that it gave Democrats more leverage to pass a partial bill than to do a full government shutdown. I don't understand this theory at all. Can someone explain?

It's really insane that the price of gold (in USD) has gone up $1000 in 3 weeks. The global economy is rapidly shifting and that's probably really bad news for the US.

Democrats should be making calls for mass amnesty and citizenship.

I'm not sure who it is (though I have a guess), but some group is really going hard on negatives for Karen McDonald who is hoping for the Dem Nomination for the AG race. It's some group called "Lakeshore Leaders Fund" registered in Benton Harbor.

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Civil asset forfeiture for billionaires.

It can get lower!

Mother nature is a raver.

I find it a little weird that the Discover algorithm constantly shows me posts from Mina Kimes. Don't get me wrong, she seems perfectly nice and I don't find anything she posts objectionable. I just find sports generally uninteresting, and especially football. Seems like a weird quirk of that algo

We all know the 2x/3x match thing is completely fake. What does it mean that they are so willing to brazenly lie to our faces? Can @dscc.bsky.social respond? I ask this as someone that donates to local candidates, putting me in a pretty tiny slice of people.

I did not want to wake up to the news that ICE had executed a nurse :( It sounds like he was filming them and they got mad about it?

So it sounds like ICE agents are swapping license plates on their personal vehicles too? Also, I think we can see why they are crashing all over the place. These guys can't drive. He violated bail by leaving MI for his criminal driving. www.mlive.com/news/saginaw...
