Has anything required justification? They bombed Iran DURING peacetalks. I just think we've been past that for a long time.

This guy sure does experience an above average number of ostensibly life-threatening situations where he maybe isnt in any danger at all, huh?

Idk man, I think the journalists who have been traumatized the most were not sitting in that room tonight. The feds gassed the shit out of us, knocked us over, sent in the local PD to harass, detain, and hurt us, shot a teenaged photographer in the face and he lost an eye, and that's just in LA

lol 'we're getting rid of these guys, who cant even teach major league baseball players to hit and field, and we're replacing them with less experienced guys who already failed to teach most of these major leaguers how to hit and field' Dont worry, though, they're keeping four outfielders! #redsox

They’re calling it “quiet bankruptcy”: those millennials are at it again, and this time they’re letting their debt payments lapse—simply because they don’t have money!

Since we are talking security/privacy/safety trade-off again I will simply repeat that a GPS-enabled governor that caps your speed at 25 mph on surface streets is less invasive than any of these more fandangled tools (which largely don't work and have very bad failure modes).

Underrated aspect of Neemi's game: He sounds like an Ent.

Anyone know why the cops in Somerville are alternately flying around with their sirens going, and crawling around with their lights on? I have never seen so many patrol cars in my life. #mapoli #somervilleMA

This shit doesnt surprise me - logistics are hard, and dull, and require a certain architecture of empathy from the folks administering them that has rarely existed in modern America. But it sure does upset me.

Genuinely heartbreaking watching Jrue dominating in the playoffs, knowing he's only over there bc Chisholm is cheap as fuck.

I find the head of Apple Music saying that most ‘average people’ can’t tell the difference with lossless audio to be somewhat ironic since the only ways to listen to it are with WIRED headphones on their phones with no headphone jacks and on the Apple TV 4K

Marcus went for 21/4/10/5/2 and was basically the only dude getting to the line for LA. It makes me sick that it is in that uniform, but it is SO good to see Marcus Smart playing hard, and seeming to enjoy the game again.

Not only is this horrifying for his kids, an indictment of him (which is saying something), but 6 yr olds cant vote. Imagine not just reading your kid a book? Imagine thinking Auchinloss was representative of the Democratic Party? This is a fucking mess.

The C's got a lead, and them immediately went back to playing shit ball.

These commentators feel like a psyop.

I cannot believe these announcers keep watching the replay, and keep thinking JB, extending his shoulder into George's stomach, somehow hit PG in the nuts.

That was an amazing flop. Or Paul George's balls are the size of honey dew melons.

Thank goodness for Luka Garza

I said this when they had missed four 3's, and was hoping it would look like a joke, but they finished the quarter with 16 3p attempts. Worst of all, they hit 7 of them, virtually guaranteeing that this is the only offense they'll be playing tonight - they only *took* 8 shots inside the arc.

This is one of the worst commentating duos I have ever heard, this is a PLAYOFF GAME.

🚨 Today, we witnessed an alarming attack on ballot access in New York City 🚨 Brooklyn Democratic Party leaders are fighting to block two Stop Deed Theft advocates from running for District Leader in Bed-Stuy... (thread)

I cant believe the refs did not call that. It wasnt a foul, but I still cant believe it. I am expecting a make-up call for the foul that wasnt...and there it is.

lol, Oubre cooking Tatum and neither JT or Vuc even put a hand up? Get them out of there. The Stay Ready guys wont let themselves get embarrassed.

Queta with 2 fouls in 2:30, is anyone going to be mad if I call this a loss, already?

Bona just shuffled a full six feet wide, and Nick Nurse is made it got called for a moving screen.

Eddie Paladino is considerably more gracious when announcing players on the opposing squad than the guy doing it for the Sixers. It's the playoffs, show some respect.

What's crazy is how little distraction is required for someone driving this urban assault vehicle to destroy someone's life or kill them, while walking away unscathed. The speed of this impact is nuts considering being in a parking lot, where people walk.

we collectively dramatically underestimate how much collective suffering in the US is a byproduct of over a century of some of the worst, most corporatized, and most destructive water management practices on earth

I'm a hydrologist and say with my entire chest that water crisis in the US is manufactured by bad water policy. medium.com/stem-first-g...

Our research team estimates that Covid caused 23 million deaths I’m sorry that Dr Bhattacharya felt stressed during the time he pushed for mass infection instead of mass vaccination; a physician friend of mine in Kenya lost 28 patients to Covid IN ONE NIGHT & still has PTSD

It really isn't fair to expose Alex Jones to Tim Heidecker like this, the media equivalent of giving a medieval peasant Doritos.

Remember doing an internet search, like, fifteen years ago? Ten? The dilapidation of online spaces is a tragedy history will be unable to reckon with, bc all the records of its rise and decline will be subsumed by the things that are causing it.

and people say stuff like “what do you think was the moment where we switched over to the bad timeline” as though there weren’t one obvious answer. I’ll be angry about this every day I’m alive.

Is Anthony Edwards the least impactful star in the NBA?

Why do refs go to Minnesota, and decide 'attempted murder is no longer a foul'? I do not think the C's *could* lose a game if they were allowed to play defense the way that the Wolves are.

Tomorrow's Premium: OpenAI needs to raise or make $852bn through 2030 to pay for the compute costs associated with Stargate and other data centers. If it fails, Oracle dies, and destroys Larry Ellison's wealth. Here's $10 off annual. edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...

If Dyson Daniels ever learns how to shoot, he's going to be an impossibly wealthy man.

What did I say? What did I say? Now the whistle is going on brush byes.

It's so bad, that the books are back to offering, like, '300 funny dollars if you make any bet at all*' * with real, actual dollars that are worth money That was the introductory lure - and it worked. It got people hooked. It went away. The economy is VERY bad.

Imagine being the poor enlisted dope who gets to be the fall guy, when the administration was ordering missile strikes to cash their bets? Anyway, legalized gambling is tearing pieces out of this country.

This is the worst kind of reffing - they are going to let these guys scratch and claw and fall over eachother for a quarter, and then tempers are going to explode, and they are going to start calling it REALLY tight to compensate, and neither of these things are fun to watch.

I love the NBA playoffs - one of these awful broadcasts just ran a five minute segment on how the Knicks have to deny CJ McCollum the ball, and like, CJ was essentially a throw in on the deal to get Trey Young out of Atlanta, and now the Hawks have taken home court, and you couldnt write this stuff.

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists. I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

"In 2003, the Florida orange industry produced 242 million boxes of fruit, with 90 pounds of oranges per box, ... not even 25 years later, the USDA was forecasting a pitiful 12 million boxes of oranges, the least in more than 100 years ... A decline of more than 95 percent." Holy shit

Shocked to learn that this vile shadow moving under the surface of the internet, praying on the underdeveloped minds of children, turns out to be a dope and a piece of shit.
