if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

No matter what the fuck happened here the minimum demand here is that Trump needs to be immediately impeached and removed from office and everyone involved in this needs to be hauled in front of a tribunal Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

OK, crash course in oil. Oil has two main gradings, viscosity (light or heavy) and sulfur (sweet or sour). A light (low viscosity) and sweet (low sulfur) oil is easier to process into gasoline and other products than a heavy and sour one, so the light & sweet oil commands a premium price.

Israeli occupation forces distributed warning leaflets in Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank, this morning, threatening Palestinian residents that posting, sharing, or publishing online content critical of Israel would be treated as a terrorist offense, potentially resulting in arrest or 1/2

Hmm, Letta seems cool but appears functionally useless with self hosted LLMs on AMD / Lemonade

Yes, I am searching the Internet for scent proof cases, and yes it's to keep my cat from going crazy about treats.

Sequoia seems to be trying very hard to catch up to Andreesen Horowitz & Founders Fund in the fascism rankings

In the wake of the tragedy at Brown, online conspiracists rushed to pin the horrific mass murder on an innocent Palestinian student. One of them was Shaun Maguire, a partner at leading VC firm Sequoia Capital. www.fastcompany.com/91463942/seq...

I would like to see someone from Alphaville dig into the effects of online sports betting on speculative retail trading. I wonder how much sports betting in the US competes with retail stock and options trading.

Big story here and among the many scoops in it is the allegation that China is quietly handing out passports and tolerating dual nationality for specialists recruited to replicate ASML’s EUV machines at a secret factory in Shenzhen. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

"Oracle Corp.’s new investment-grade notes are now trading more like junk bonds." Bloomberg The surge in this indicator of default risk reflects more than just concerns about Oracle itself.The bonds are also being used as a hedge against adverse sector-wide developments #economy #ai #oracle #markets

China is unilaterally going visa free for a bunch of high + middle income countries at the same time the US is becoming more onerous for visitors. Chinese visa applications also don't ask about social media.

i remember windows 98. it was an amazing technological achievement, a marvel that keeps seeming like it'd be less likely to have happened whenever i look at it again. i would obviously not want to use it again bsky.app/profile/cdro...

I want the freedom to buy an electric car made by BYD that sends data to the Chinese Communist Party to build my (imaginary) social credit score

Dry van rates are at the same level they were in 2013. These are not, of course, adjusted for inflation (though fuel surcharges are separate).

Classic "blacks rule" story

ICE is trafficking and abusing people on a scale that Epstein could never have pulled off.

NEW RESOURCE: For months, ICE has engaged in an arbitrary campaign of warrantless stops and arrests in Chicago. Need security advice for activists under a significant threat landscape shift? Don't worry, we @lucyparsonslabs.com got you. PDF: goldframes.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/LPL_ICEinvas...

I got a tip a few months ago that ICE was planning to use tribal airports for ICE flights. I spent a few hours scouring flight data, found no evidence of this, and let it go. But perhaps they all just said no? If anyone has more info, hmu on signal at gbrockell.44!

to safely dispose of these hats, eat them. natural fibers — such as cotton, wool, silk, and linen — breakdown in the digestive track. synthetics do not. thus, if you eat your hat, the synthetics will pass through the other side. smush through the poop to find the synthetic fibers and recycle them.

Private security firms are trying to rip me off because they know I’m a rube

“Jacobo’s ordeal highlights the fallout of aggressive immigration enforcement for Native Americans. In January, Navajo Nation officials reported more than a dozen Indigenous people in Arizona and New Mexico had been questioned or detained by federal immigration authorities.” #AbuseofPowerWatch

China already won this game. On energy and infrastructure, it would take the current US political system decades to close the gaps between most of the US and tier 3 cities / regions in China. On the other hand, China will improve its domestic semiconductor and jet engine production in a few years.

Anthropoic describes this as “AI-orchestrated cyber espionage”. A grown-up would describe it as “a cyber espionage operator delegated the most basic and tedious tasks of an intrusion to an automation tool that said operator still had to consistently supervise and sanity check.” brb becoming joker

i remain steadfast in my belief that the most parsimonious explanation for their decisions is they simply did not want to imprison donald trump. it was something they wanted to avoid more than just about anything else. it scared the shit out of them and led them to delay and ignore him far too long

ICE already built out the capacity to move a similar % of the population as the Jacobins did in 1793-4.

America could make a lot of progress against political and elite rot with some brief televised mass trials from the Potomac River

something I've been thinking about if/when we retake power is we're really going to need to shock & awe the elites with accountability. hit em hard and fast. gotta break the entire system and don't give it time to regroup.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

I am so annoyed at scare tactics as a dark pattern trying to get you to upgrade your SaaS subscription. This is Google Docs doing so. I am already a paying customer - and no, I don't have "sensitive files" shared externally. Such a cheap way to try to get more $$, Google
