How long can it take to DICTATE the Bee Movie script into a phone

THIS. I have no problems with a news or science story that challenges my assumptions or world view, but if while reading the article I can pose simple and obvious questions that would destroy their argument/spin, it's just garbage. Same with stenography disguising itself as journalism.

Rarely in politics do you get to so effectively run an empirical test like this which can tell you if a pundit's predictions are in any way accurate.

Declaring a literal global war on terror (not even a terrorist group) was like dividing by zero. Everything that followed was 🤪

The idea that the US could declare war on stateless terrorists--as opposed to treating them like criminals--was one of the biggest wrong turns this country ever made. It was an incoherent idea then and more incoherent ideas have been stack on it like the worst game of Jenga.

Oh @rianjohnson.bsky.social played all innocent "I'm not doing a muppet thing with Knives Out" he knew HE KNEW

This is The Way.

Need one of those jobs where, if I am a huge failure, they pay me $50 million to leave. CEO, football coach. I'll do any of 'em just to get fired.

The California Institute of Technology is launching an AI tool this fall to look for “authenticity” in students who submit research projects with their applications, admissions director Ashley Pallie said. Students upload their research to an AI chatbot that interviews them about it on video, which is then reviewed by Caltech faculty. “It’s a gauge of authenticity. Can you claim this research intellectually? Is there a level of joy around your project? That passion is important to us,” Pallie said.

I asked the machine if you had joy 💀

After mass AI college-cheating freakout, many admissions offices are using it to screen student applications | Fortune It wasn't long ago they began banning student use of it for homework or test-taking. Admissions offices are different, though.

Judging from the quotes in here, university admins are some of the least “ai literate” people in existence. No wonder they think students need to be taught how to use it.

I would imagine that Senator Kelly takes umbrage at everyone in the press calling him a former fighter pilot, when in fact he was an A-6 pilot. And as Navy attack pilots used to say, "fighter pilots make movies, but attack pilots win wars."

I keep seeing people QTing this about car accidents but the article is about bike-on-bike or bike-on-pedestrian deaths and injuries related to riding e-bikes without helmets and crashing into non-moving objects

Mind your melon! Wear a helmet! Looking like a dork is so much better than TBI recovery!

Finally I also had to get this legend.
It's of course Danuta Danielsson, who whacked a Neo-Nazi marching by with a handbag in Sweden in 1985.

3) There wasn't anything to suggest this was a history-changing event. You know that mugshot photo. It's NOT from this arrest but from one 2 months later when she was arrested as a 'boycott leader.' It's often misattributed because we like the version where the right act is obvious when it happens.

2) There was nothing to suggest that making a stand that day would do anything. She'd made stands before. Other had too. It was lonely. No one joined her on the bus—worried she would be hurt, that it wouldn't do anything. That is Rosa Parks' courage—the ability to persist amid fear and uncertainty.

Assuming we need police we need to a: Determine precisely what their powers, roles, and restrictions are.

b: train the fuck out of them; then pension them off young.

Someone who has had almost absolute power/immunity for 30 years isn't going to let "outsiders" change the system if it's corrupted

if someone hires you to do something that will use you up, it should be mandatory for them to plan to support your healing too

Suspect in National Guard attack struggled with 'dark isolation' as community raised concerns Emails obtained by the Associated Press show that the Afghan man accused of shooting two National Guard members near the White House had been unraveling for years.

“we failed a veteran” is the ultimate story here and if I were a soldier currently being asked to do war crimes on Trump’s behalf I would consider this instructive

It has been ever thus for most of my life.

Henry Ford was a controlling asshole, and greedy as any billionaire but he understood one thing more than most... If they have no money, they can't spend it on what you're selling.

High level fencing still the best material when youre trying to draw dramatic fights

Have to wonder what the long term effect will be.

Not in relation to the Federal Gov't, but as regards who chooses to attend.

Because "the bubble reputation" once burst is not easy to regain.

A veteran's service in Panama isn't covered by the VA. There are hundreds like him. Hundreds of veterans who served in the Panama Canal Zone are being denied disability compensation for toxic exposure during their service.

No shit?

“The lack of defined criteria for establishing presumptive conditions leads to inconsistency and undermines veterans’ confidence in the fairness of the system,”

"Let's contact Caliban!" is delightful on it's own.

In context it's perfect.

Scroll up, read down; on the differences between drama and "theater" and why we need both; but the one lives longer in the memory.

This is one of their weal points, because two of the major (perhaps the two dominant factions) are deeply divided on this (and have been at odds since Goldwater)
