Just wondering, do you have a link to this article?

Democrats Must Embrace War Mindset We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

yes, also the democratic base *wants* to fight

our politicians don't have to raise an army, just lead it

To me it's a bit like the old, debunked punching pillows to "get out" your aggression. If you do it habitually, you're just reinforcing cruel behavior and encouraging thinking and reacting that way.

Video: a Japanese scientist was attacked by flies while giving the acceptance speech for his Ig Nobel Prize-winning research paper that proved painting Zebra-like stripes on cows led to a decrease in biting fly attacks.

Unironically think the Ferris Beuller's day off remake could be a really fun watch

There really should be a an anti-corruption anti-criminality Democratic party brand that pledges to bring all the crooks to justice.

If it was competitive, like lots of moves, there would be more renovation and better housing.

The issue is all that comes at a big premium. Old rents are cheap ones -compare avg NYC prevailing vs market rents sometime.

Homeowners often DIY skimp on labor costs, and don't need profit on top.

I'm a renter (fan) but neither renters nor landlords want to invest in upgrades above the minimum.

Ownership aligns incentives - owned buildings will naturally be better maintained in the long run.

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right?

IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If—

CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother?

IKARI: Look, let me answer the question.

CHOTINER: Sure.

What if you don't care about continuity but to want balance looking at cool shit with everything not seeming too stupid or incomprehensible?

The article is pretty interesting in the details.

Apparently a nearby county added some data centers and their property tax rates dropped every year the last 10 because of what the centers pay.

Very curious to know what happened to their utilities and how it nets out.

New lib currents monthly update incoming?

Page from Junji Ito's The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Depicts 2 youths with nervous sweat looking at a human shaped hole in a sheer rock face in conversation: "It's no good..." "Look over there...""It's just gaping at me!!" "My silhouette's saying, 'Come in.'" "'Come into me.'" "That's what it's saying."

I could live without B and E... I have to say the setup of this map is pretty wild with Italian represented in 50% of the regions.

How can you put H bottom tier, it has NYC and some France?

If you count international availability, H has to be a top 3 choice because of NYC alone. If you just count "dishes invented in" then NYC still has done a lot of culinary invention. Sure if you just say "national" foods it does suck.

H also gets you part of France, Spain and Portugal... G loses out on France. D is great too though, plenty of big international cities too.

Outside of those I think's more questionable.

Hard to mean origin of dishes, since there's some native version of wherever the ingredients originate from, and then its just where animals/plants come from.

But if you just accept any exact recipe/restaurant then also H is a great choice, cuz you got NYC covering the world and Canadian Chinese.

Not All Victims Should Be Martyrs Charlie Kirk believed in advancing right-wing political goals and attacking left-wing opponents by any and all means necessary—including political violence.

“Kirk was not an example of healthy political discourse, and we should not pretend otherwise just because he was the victim of what appears to be more senseless political violence.” www.liberalcurrents.com/not-all-vict...

Kirk was one of the organizers of January 6; he defended stop the steal for years. the main goal of his org was silencing and terrorizing liberal professors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/whitewashi...

History was a game. When we got to the end of it, a lot of people were unhappy with the end game content and turned to griefing.

All hail the great filter?

Yeah, exactly why I figured they would take to it quite naturally. Would be interesting to see what they do with the faster communication, and they could potentially "whisper" intended communications, which would then give some insight into their intentions

If I was wealthy, I wish I could hire a quasi ethical engineer to give cetaceans little walkie talkies or cell phones in their tracking chips that they could be taught to chirp on/off/transmit and be recharged by water flow.

There's a paradoxical trust reversal relative to traditional media, increased amplification is less trustworthy instead of more.

Traditional media was driven by money, which meant more each also meant structure, checks and controls.

Social media rewards pure, unfettered attention seeking.

how the media could cover kirk's death more responsibly:

1. don't just assume the shooter was from the left

Honestly seems lenient to me, says you can't do endorsements WITH their money, without their consent.

Apparently you can do endorsements without their consent on your own dime? Honestly though, you just ask for approval and they should grant it if you are aligned. If they refuse you can part ways.
