Finally saw Project Hail Mary last night. 3 stars out of 4 (yes, I will always use out of 4, I am Unc and this is how nearly every newspaper did movie reviews when I was a kid.)

Ah yes another year of getting a parking ticket on my street as I try to convince the parking authority that I live in my house as they give me tickets whenever I am not st work. Thry dont accept my mortgage or water bill for some reason and I don't pay the gas or electric.

Bea Lumpkin was a giant of our labor movement. She stood with working people everywhere in the fight for workers’ rights, civil rights and education rights. She embodied solidarity—and we’ll use her inspiration to keep fighting for a more just world for all. Rest in power ✊

Its crazy Kareem started playing on nationally televised games on black and white TVs while the SEC was still segregated and retired when Shawn Kemp was entering the NBA.

I don't think this is as incoherent as many of the replies do. A lot of people are socially moderate (or have a wide mix of cultural views) and view government programs as socialist and good.

OS/2 sighting

This is where it is said Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead and then hid from the religious leaders who wanted to kill him. Israelis already built settlements illegal under international law there. Israel says they are not illegal because the West Bank "cannot be occupied". Where are the sanctions?

We don’t usually see each other’s headers. Here’s mine. QT with yours. [Evening in Pittsburgh (Pittsubaagu no yû), 1928 by Hiroshi Yoshida]

Magic Johnson was right. The Knicks would need to win this game to take a 3-1 series lead. And they took heed of his advice.

This famously woke website is also filled with zio-nazis who quote the CIA as the final word in an argument.

In the first scenario of The Guerrilla Generation, we're presented with an urban insurgency that will inadvertently succeed when the military that crushes it proves too oppressive. That's right, it's Uruguay. spacebiff.com/2026/06/09/g...

They fight for land, power, because a king leads them or — or just because they like killing. But we are here for something new. This has not happened much in the history of the world. We are an army out to set other men free 🥲
