"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." 

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

An epidemiologists told me
we’re cooked
because of Covid
but they meant it figuratively.

And an educator told me
we’re cooked
because of AI
but they meant it figuratively.

But a climatologist told me
we’re cooked
because of climate change
and they meant it
they really meant it.

The Japanese government has launched "Decokatsu," a campaign to help citizens decarbonize & live more eco aligned lifestyles. It consists of 4 actions & one of them is...

Wait for it: REMOTE WORK 👏🏼

I will say this over and over and over again: no one who identifies as any kind of liberal or progressive or leftist or radical should spend their time dunking on people who take Covid "too" seriously. You have lost your ability to see who does and doesn't have power, and you are punching down.

90% of programming is thinking and 10% is writing code

and llms can't think.

This is a devastating loss. Climate.gov is home to the U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit, a major resource for local governments and businesses working to understand and prepare for climate risks. Another huge blow to U.S. adaptation capacity (along w/ 6th National Climate Assessment, IRA cuts, etc).

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

If your news channel includes commentators who — citing no sources — talk about other people’s state of mind is if it was knowable fact, then you’re not watching the news.

You’re watching fascist propaganda.

This is 100% accurate, every time:

Tax the rich, gut the paranoid military. Pay for programs and dividends (as UBI with no admin other than signing checks for every SSN). Watch The middle and lower class take over industries and help one another as the rich Never could. Help people in other countries and gain their friendship.

Elon Musk is calling for Donald Trump to be impeached. Donald Trump is calling for Elon Musk to be deported. Both sides have a point.

This is sickening

Welcome to NFL free agency.
Twitter's loss is Bluesky's gain.
Maybe the NFL will end up wishing it had allowed its teams to open accounts here.

Lots of “what do you think SEA should do at QB?” and while I hate all options; my answers, in order:

*Kirk at $1M (a la Russ/DEN)
*Dart (but not at #18)
*JAMEIS
*Fields
*Darnold (higher if 1-year deal but he prob gets ~Geno $)
*Bunch of things I’m not thinking of
*
*Move team to OKC
*Aaron Rodgers

I've never been more angry at John than after listening to this. And I'm a little mad at myself for not seeing all the signs that were there all along. Mike and Chris are right, what the hell kinda comment was that "He's our QB, until he's not." And why didn't we make more note of it then?

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

So proud!

The only issue I can see with this is that since Americans can’t afford to see doctors regularly, sometimes that drug commercial is the way you learn about a health condition that you might have.

I’ve recently moved onto drain unclogging (fixing flooded parking lots), and folks who clean up vegetation overgrowth. Rug cleaning videos are super satisfying too.

NFL's Bluesky hesitation is about the green The Patriots recently said that the NFL told the team to get off of Bluesky.

The NFL is keeping its teams away from Bluesky until it pumps sufficient green into the NFL's pockets.

Gross. If this happened, I wouldn't be able to root for Pete.

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.

Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.

Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

"Air pollution from animal farms is linked to almost eight times more premature deaths than coal-fired power plants."

The animal ag industry gets away with such a massive amount of pollution that doesn't get anywhere near the attention it should.

I’m so happy for Pete Carroll! He’s like my surrogate football dad, and I’m glad he’s coaching again.

Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday was blistering in his criticism of Trump’s action as he granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?” Coughenour interrupted before Brett Shumate, a Justice Department attorney, could even complete his first sentence. “In your opinion Is this executive order constitutional?” he asked. Shumate said, “it absolutely is.” “Frankly I have difficulty understanding how a member of the Bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” Coughenour said. “It just boggles my mind.”
