Although this is also my opinion of women’s vs men’s soccer in general.

Contrast this with natsec leadership or those in the Biden inner circle. I’m not sure of his national star power but he’s got the right idea.

I think time as a cabinet secretary improved Pete but also being stuck under a party structure and platform that failed and under leadership that wanted him in a box really forced him to reevaluate things. Of those in the former admin, he seems most willing to say β€œwe failed. No excuses.”

So are the 320 issues gonna make us take the critiques of the M7 more seriously?

Because it should.

It wasn’t until I was an adult did I hear those in β€œgifted” programs refer to themselves as such. It’s such a weird thing to cling to. Nobody refers to themselves as an honor society kid.

The Budget Lab at Yale University, a nonpartisan research center, updated its tariff tracker on Friday. It calculated that American consumers will have to contend with an average effective tariff rate of 18.3 percent, the highest since 1934. As a result, the center estimates that price increases will cost each household on average $2,400 this year. Shoe prices, for example, are expected to rise 40 percent in the short run. America’s total economic output β€” its gross domestic product β€” is estimated to shrink by about $120 billion annually in the years to come.

Breathtaking grand strategic analysis. The entire foreign policy apparatus totally isn’t broken.

Being in tech and having a single modicum of critical thinking is just screaming "this isn't what LLMs are designed for" over and over as people shove a bunch of word predictors into critical decision making processes because some glorified used car salesmen told them it would fix all their problems

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

I do wonder at what point defeat methods get treated like radar detectors or tinted windows are in some states. Another reason for probable cause…

a trend I'm not sure what we'll be able to do anything about is just reality of public spaces outdoor being totally surveilled. there are cameras everywhere on the street, self-driving cars are going to be mobile vehicle cameras, and if wearable glasses take off they'll become pedestrian cameras

Do you want a show about human vs biblical evil? EVILz

Want a show about abuses of modern technology in really smart ways? EVIL.

Want four seasons of the heroes ignoring every insane thing that happens to them and just carrying on? EVIL.

Title credits that threaten to haunt you? EVIL.

Doing a rewatch of EVIL and I will never get over how brilliantly insane this show is.

Sandman had such an opportunity to be this decade’s fantasy show and they managed to fumble every setup and character in season 2.
