I hope I live long enough to see someone run on the slogan "Pay your taxes and mind your own damned business" because that will be my ride or die candidate.

Maybe instead of running around filming workout videos for social media, renaming bases, hunting DEI, firing outstanding officers, and fighting to restrict press access, Pete Hegseth should’ve been studying the war in Ukraine to learn something about modern drone warfare.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Remains funny that the main through line across so-called populist right is not actually pride but groundless self-victimization.

HISTORIC HEAT IN SAUDI ARABIA MINIMUM 29.0c Gizan HOTTEST MARCH NIGHT EVER RECORDED IN SAUDI ARABIA Every single Asian country has been smashing records from Saudi Arabia to Japan.

We're an empire now, and we think big, but not that far ahead.

Oh that is very funny.

No one figured this would happen, no one, but I ran into a rake store. And the rakes are everywhere. And turns out the rake store is owned by those Iranian guys I took a swing at. So they know how to get around. Who knew? Anyway, that's why you need to get me out of this. Helicopter, whatever.

What does Iran need a nuke for when their alliance controls the strait and suez? That looks pretty astute from a strategy standpoint.

This is an enemy of the Constitution bragging about its destruction

“80,000lbs of tofu left on the side of the highway for three weeks because the insurance company wouldn’t pay for its removal” is on the shortlist for most 2026 story of 2026

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

You know which athletes immediately get caught in this gender testing bullshit? Black women. Racist stereotypes denying Black women their womanhood go way back. Scratch transphobia in sports the tiniest bit and you uncover racism immediately.

People are so excited to see the sweet sixteen game at SAP they've forgotten how to use a sidewalk.

This was inevitable. There's no need to test whether someone is a "man" of course. But now people gotta prove they're really a "woman."

The Triangulum galaxy (M33) is well known as an example of how rotation curves reveal the need for dark matter. The upper curve in the figure shows how fast stars (yellow) and gas (blue) are orbiting, while the dashed line shows what you'd get using Newton's laws applied to these components 🧪 [1/2]

Oh ok it’s something they’re doing to be sexy and not something they’re doing to display a general lack of interest in my knowledge of Futurama trivia

This is one of those flus that resets your outlook on life.

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

This is the very specific reason they bought the selves a president.

From Andrea Pitzer's substack this morning: >If you wanna know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. Very simple and straightforward political message.

There are a *lot* of companies in North America that believe Azure cloud security is the tightest in the business b/c of GCC High.

If an outcome of this war is a loss of meaningful freedom of navigation in one of the world’s key energy chokepoints, that’s a world historical scale defeat for the United States (i.e., *the* “freedom of navigation” power).

absolutely incredible. Trump might have done more damage to American imperial power than anyone ... ever?

Important!!!

Absolutely incredible.

We are not far off from all of the negatives getting together and killing "AI" as a buzzword for another generation. Those of us who manage data will still use LLMs where they're appropriate, but the rest is a house of cards.

I still maintain that "spending irrational amounts of money on building even more AI datacenters nobody wants" is exactly what an AGI trying to escape its box would persuade its captors to do

...This isn't really true either though

hey upstate NY, check this out maybe we should build some more batteries, eh @dague.net @jeffsseidman.bsky.social

A pilot just flew through one of the strongest aurora storms in years — and saw the sky explode in color. From the cockpit of a Boeing 787, pilot Matt Melnyk had a view like no one else. Flying at 37,000 feet over Manitoba, he watched as the auroras filled the entire sky. Original post

As time has gone on I've realized there is a still quite small but now non-trivial chance that the entire Iran War is simply an insider trading operation, creating repeated black swan moments and relying on markets continued willingness to gyrate wildly in the face of absurd and predictably ...

if you were actively trying to sabotage ICE, this is how you would do it. pack citizens into an environment that causes their cortisol levels to blow through the roof and then make these dickheads loiter around in the center of the room doing absolutely nothing to help.

It’s almost as if Japan decided to use their words and negotiate rather than launch a perfidious sneak attack.

There is no reopen. It’s open now. Just not for Trump. The rest of the world is realizing they can cut out their “security” middleman, and cut their own deal for passage with Iran.

The airlines will love images of ICE treating passengers with contempt and turning 5 hour waits into 5 hour waits punctuated with random beatings by masked paramilitaries.

New from us: how Pakistan's solar boom is dampening the impact of the Hormuz crisis on the country. Solar power allowed LNG&diesel imports to fall after the previous gas crisis in 2021-22, with the solar boom set to avoid $7bn in fossil fuel import costs this year.

Based on what I know about marketing tooling and GEO, that's because there's humans trying to glue together spreadsheets and figure out what's going on.

"Gold standard science" seems to be "truth that will never change." As firm as say the Bible or the Koran. So since *that* kind of truth never happens in science, and when it does no one who believes in the "gold standard science" of the time... Ah wtf. It's just a scam to sell a seal of approval.

Gas shortages throughout Asia, which is where most of the electric cars are built, thus giving them an enormous incentive to get as far away as they can from clashing petrostates like the US, Russia, KSA and Iran... This seems exactly the sort of bullet-in-the-foot moment we'd expect from Trump.

The higher ed thinkfluencer-industrial complex churned out thousands of pieces just like this one

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

trump absolutely determined to fight a two-front war, against Iran and also America
