Wish I could disagree with this.

System Shock 2 was effing creepy.

Minsky cycle, but for political stability.

Landing on a *rubber deck*, which was apparently (briefly) a thing?

Aircraft Carriers With Rubber Decks Were A Bad Idea The British and Americans toyed with the idea of flexible aircraft carrier decks from which to operate wheelless jet aircraft.

What witchcraft is this?

So happy for you! She’s adorable :)

That seems… not legal?

Yeah, that’s straight-up apocalyptic. Bomb shelter built outside the storm surge affected area is about the only thing that can handle that.

lol. Lmao, even.

“Mariners: ‘Well well well not so easy to find a playoff game shorter than 15 innings, huh?” Onion DeBlasio story but like, terribly done

Love me some Odd Lots. Great convo between @weisenthal.bsky.social, @tracyalloway.bsky.social, and Brian Potter of the Construction Physics newsletter. Psyched to read his new book, The Origins of Efficiency!

Got it, thx

Dunno how the NC3 for these systems is envisioned, but thought the concept was that these things are just airborne already, “patrolling” untracked over remote open ocean somewhere, and as long as some NC3 node survives, they can be tasked?

our purely arbitrary betrayal of Canada is one of the things which makes me angriest about Trump II

@foone.bsky.social is such a legend.

The East Wing demolition and DOJ payment story definitely feel like a substantial escalation. “L'État, c'est moi.”
