lot of unsettling news this morning as I log into the unsettling news device abcnews.go.com/US/former-fb...

imagine telling taylor goddamn swift, with a straight face, that she should perform for free because the exposure is valuable

I went on Spanish radio COPE to talk about the recent drone incursions in 🇩🇰 (also 🇵🇱) Discussed the risks vs benefit of shooting down a drone with air defense methods, like how Eurofighters did it in 🇵🇱. Do you risk throwing a lamppost at high speed at a target no bigger than a vespa?

I don't need anything but the words of Nikita Kruschev in the Secret Speech to repudiate Stalin, and the Secret Speech is in '56

They did in fact use the Kirk killing as the reichstag fire

Uhhh, folks? This is real bad. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Digital sovereignty is almost entirely an infrastructure problem, and it's a tough one. How can we understand the problem and start outlining strategies? Read on to find out! berjon.com/digital-sove...

you are looking at an order for the execution of twenty-two thousand people. that number is enumerated specifically in the document. you are shitting your pants in public over and over and over again and lack the ability to even be ashamed of it.

Out of fucking control and if I were an elected Dem or running for office I’d be in front of every camera I could find telling America your prescriptions just got twice as expensive, your health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket from ACA subsidy cancellation, and oh the gov shuts down Wed.

Many pieces are trunk-like and about a foot long. The breaks are clean, some as flat as if they had been sawed. Cleaner than the base of the larger piece. What is their story?

Probably not a novel observation but these types have been stewing in an information environment which glorifies mass shooters and the false flag narrative. They’re almost invariably settle on the idea that they could go out on the head fake.

The men are not lonely enough

I made a tool that checks sentiment realtime, but only about a few selected topics: xraysocial.com The most interesting things for me: -Bs still hates chatGPT -The Kimmel-decision plummeted Disney's scores, the ratio of positive posts dropped from 20-25% to around 5%. There is a recovery, but slow

NO! NO!

NEW from @pewresearch.org: 20% of US adults now regularly get news from TikTok, up from 3% in 2020. Among the youngest adults, 43% now regularly get news there, up from 9% in 2020. Full analysis: www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...

Thing is though that Musk/Trump/Vance have all made 'miserable little online stalker who thinks mass shootings are funny' a protected political class. $44 Billion on twitter and massive campaigns cajoling Meta/Apple/Google etc all in service of putting the normie mods to sleep forever.

Highly recommend picking a random small city in Sicily and just going there and eating at every bakery. In this case, Bagheria. The first photo is sfincione with tuma cheese, and it is one of the best things I've ever eaten. A giant, cheesy hunk of foccacia.

WOW! WHAT DO YOU KNOW! IT'S LIKE @machete.gay AND I WERE RIGHT AGAIN

Well would you look at that.

one of the most depressing things about modern life is that there's a non-insignificant part of the population that don't know or remember we used to go into space for fun. NASA landed people on the moon SIX TIMES before star wars came out.

The real Sea Peoples were the friends we made along the way

Sex workers posting wildly incorrect WW2 rage bait to get people to click on their bio instead of thirst traps is the funniest anecdote you can tell about this place

Lesson for Democracts from Jacobin is don't help the poor - since if you do and the GOP rolls back a dime of help, the left will blame you for the GOP rollbacks. In fact, poverty dropped to 7.8% in 2021 because of Biden policies - the lowest level in modern history- and then GOP took Congress.

Okay I bought a mini-pc so i can have a non-windows dev machine, time to go read the proxmox docs

Listen, I mean this with the utmost respect to folks shipping code, but I don’t think we can call “X the Y of the atmosphere” if I can’t log into it using my existing did and use it without polluting my Bluesky timeline. It’s just a different way of looking at Bluesky.

Inside of me there are two lions. Both have anxiety.

Hey y'all. I'm playing a show this Saturday night (9/27) at The Cave in Chapel Hill NC. I'm on at 9pm! Playing some stuff from my record (ffm.to/fofi) and some new stuff too. Let's go!

ooookay this is a nightmare???

*crosses out eject, writes in “yeet”*

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

So look. Global systems are resilient by both design and inertia and while system changes do happen, hegemony isn’t vibes.

Ngl it’s nice when you all tell me a fit is good and that I look cute but it’s next level when I go to a wedding in France and the French are complimenting my fit.

this is a serious question: concretely, if I push 150k labels at once while initializing my labeler, what happens? does it immediately spam the bluesky appview and get rate limited?

ICE *detainees* were the ones shot.

pretty sure that if Le Monde calls your trans kid a "fashion week sensation" while you're scaremongering about bathrooms in an off-year Virginia gubernatorial they should just scroll credits on your ass because it's over www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/...

I’m not sure I can get away to attend following my vacation, but I’ll see what I can do.

Early on I made a throwaway post about EMR data using atproto, but the lack of private data was an issue. I thought of it again today because a colleague is talking at a conference on decentralized health tech. What if the personal medical records could actually be realized?

This is why you shouldn't get your history from memes. Germany (WWI and WWII) lol Austria-Hungary (WWI) Japan WWII Korea? Iraq (not GWOT but our AID to the Kurds fighting Saddam?! wut?) Afghanistan (but somehow NOT including our invasion of it? Poland (Support for Solidarity? What in the tankie?

Its really not good that generative AI does this and will literally flip the valence of the actual history

In 2020, we mapped out the danger zones that will close in on Americans over the next 30 years — combining climate data with wildfire projections by US Forest Service researchers and others. See what changes are in store for your county 👇

Art* is sublimated desire. *maybe particularly religious, with the tension of its myriad dichotomies

That’s my second fav thing about art history: how fucking horny it is.

Please zoom in on the devil and check out that twink ass.

in political science, we refer to this as tsundere

Holy shit

Phang: Trump can get up and be an absolute fucking embarrassment and humiliate our country by saying the dumbest lies in front of the UN… and others can get up and say horrific things about people, and they can have free speech. But we can’t? That’s not how the First Amendment works.
