In the March 1981 issue of the @bulletinatomic.bsky.social, conflict resolution expert and Harvard Law School professor Roger Fisher described his “quite simple” idea to force US presidents to viscerally confront the lethal consequences of ordering a nuclear attack. books.google.com/books/about/...

Ho-lee shit this is cool.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college. 1. Physics 311 2. Astronomy 220 3. Physics 417 4. Mathematics 330 5. Anthropology 201

19. I desperately want to know. Who woke up in the morning one morning and was like "screw it, I think I'm going to make this." Michelangelo?

On second thought, no edit button.

TIL that Arsenal fans are apparently known as "gooners" and I beg someone in team management to spend a few moments browsing urban dictionary.

You're sitting here arguing about how many of the people on Niemoller's poem we can feed them, and the realistic answer is that we must not allow them to do any of them. The red line is drawn across the first line of the first stanza.

Stop referring to ICE and CBP as law enforcement. They're Violence Workers.

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Cool, nice to see that America solved its school shooting problem by sending federal agents to *checks notes* extrajudicially black-bag citizens.

I'm confident enough in my marriage to give my wife something like this this for Valentine's Day.

Lmao the bubble is fit to burst, boys This is a hysterical and insane choice, I hope they follow through!

I mean he could have said Edmund Fitzgerald or Andria Doria or Bismarck or Hindenburg or Exxon Valdez or Moskva.

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

It's a bazooka, Michael, how much can it cost?

“The very introduction of AI into the workplace appears to be disastrous for employee relations, suggests another study, which found that AI resulted in employees passing off low quality “workslop” with the expectation that someone else down the line would polish the AI’s shoddy output.”

“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”

“When researchers at the Center for AI Safety tested AI agents’ ability to complete remote work tasks, not a single model was able to complete more than three percent of their assignments.”

This would be difficult outright, but Denmark might consider incorporating Californians on an individual basis until the state reaches a critical mass. Please send me a Danish passport, universal healthcare, and complementary happiness to indicate acceptance of this proposal.

Huh. Go figure.

I can't believe that this has been an option the entire time *sets up school for raccoons against racism*

France is our first and oldest ally. The fact that they are sending troops to fight against us should actually fill every American with horror and shame.

A little story about Vienna and safety. 🧵 It's Sunday & I wanted to visit the Belvedere museum, about 2 mi away. I like to walk, but it's my first time in the city. Front desk staff at my American-style hotel spoke fluent English. I asked, "Is there any reason I shouldn't walk to the Belvedere?"

One of the many bad things about the pandemic was the rise of QR codes and how people were conditioned into trusting them. They're actually really dangerous and a widely used way of taking unsuspecting people to phishing sites. Don't scan them; don't trust them.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Saw a new eye doc yesterday. He asked if I thought the moon landing was real, and if so, why were there no stars in any images. I explained that they would have exposed for daylight conditions. He countered, "If it was daytime, why wasn't the sky blue?" Anyway, I'm looking for a new eye doc.

Wow

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

2026 is the year of the Kubernetes Desktop

IANAL but I've seen some Grisham movies and this sure seems like conspiracy to commit kidnapping and theft. The wrong people are behind bars.

I learned more from library books adjacent to the one I wanted. Yes, the web puts a world of information at your fingertips, but it does not, and cannot, find what you didn't know you were looking for.

For anyone worried AI will replace all of us. Courtesy of Gemini for the prompt “create an infographic of all the World Series winners since 1986” I dare you to find 10 things that are right.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

I want to drive a dump truck of cow manure to the Microsoft headquarters and drop it off in the lobby as a thank you. They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.

Looking forward to the updated driver's license test that asks the important questions, like how to set an address in GPS and update to the self-deiving software.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

I'll start using AI when it stops captioning mentions of "DRS" in F1 commentary as "doctors". Also, I get that Irish accents are tough, but what are the chances someone said "Patsy needs to be 1.5 say crumbs Leicester per layup than Vern slapping"?
