Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

It's wild looking back to the early 2000s and how so many people predicted this path post-9/11 that were the sort of people *studying exactly this sort of thing happening across the globe* and it was just fucking ignored.

once again if you brought him back and told him what people were doing to his work J.R.R. Tolkien would buy a gun

i can't claim to know Kat as well as I'd like but there's never been a shred of doubt in my mind that she believes what she says and is willing to put her body on the line for that belief. I admire her.

Have you had her on the show yet? She's running for congress.

EVEN IF they do not deliberately do anything to kill you, they are going to trip over a space heater or unplug the oxygen machine.

Robot tele-operators are going to murder people.

We've hit the point where a lot of our dystopian sci fi now feels hopelessly optimistic

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Here’s the deal with SNAP Benefits.
Most recipients work. But if they don’t? IDGAF. Got that? I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK IF THEY WORK OR NOT.
They’re HUNGRY. Do you think people LIKE asking for food? Asking for help feeding their kids? Do you think they do this for fun? FU!

Who are the people agreeing to fly these planes? Who are the people helping the passengers into the planes? Who are the air traffic controllers agreeing to do this work?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

I am actually 100% fine with "I want candidates to be purely Not A Nazi", I've not got problem with discarding a candidate who got 99.5% Pure on the Not A Nazi Test. This seems like an easy one to me.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

The 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) fibre positioner. Each optical fibre is mounted on a spine that can be tilted to point at a specific astronomical object. The light collected by each fibre is then directed to spectrographs that split it into its constituent colours. Thanks to this design, 4MOST can take spectra of 2400 objects simultaneously.

you know it is not at all difficult to acknowledge the legitimate concerns about the tattoo and still make a case for the candidate. but this would require maturity, a perspective outside ones own and a willingness to lose a little face, which means it won’t happen.

How about we just settle for those without Nazi tattoos, and if he can't see how that would be immediately disqualifying then what the fuck is he even doing.

All the careerist consultant class bros defending the guy with the 3rd SS Panzer Division "Totenkopf" insignia on his chest:

I truly don't get what's so goddamn hard about this for podcasters (he's the second semi-prominent one I've seen having a meltdown over this). Find someone else to run. There are plenty of people without Nazi tattoos who would be fine candidates. We have a whole year.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

folks is it good when your AWS bill is 100% of your estimated revenue
