I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

In fiction, we learn why people do things. Writers make sure to tell us what the character is thinking. In reality, it's much more complex and much less satisfying. The Minnesota shooter appears to have a rather complex and chaotic mindset, but we cannot know how much of what we see is true.

Does time seem to be flying? Turns out the Earth is spinning faster this summer. Here’s why While it’s unlikely anyone would notice a missing millisecond, there’s potential this speed-up could have ramifications for our sensitive computer systems, experts say.

Developers insist that the only way to solve the housing crisis is to let them build more luxury condos with no fees or requirements to include affordable housing.

In other news, a local fox has volunteered to guard your henhouse.

Reminder as a cis straight person I don't consider it my place to label myself an ally, or to tell LGBTQ+ folks that they're safe with me. That's for others to decide based on my behaviors and actions. It's entirely possible there will be differing opinions; there's no single certification board.

I remember reading an article speculating about RC aircraft and shipping containers being used this way in the 80s in an SF magazine. The logistics are immense, but the basic concept has been out there for a long time.
I wonder what else Ukraine put in place in the run up to this strike? Surprises?

We must protect the Charter.

Fully support Senator Harder and this important Senate bill. #cdnpoli

Could we at least live in the kind of cinematic dystopia that wouldn’t have gone direct to video?

Any other time she would resign in embarrassment, but this is the new status quo

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Democrats who think we should stop using the word "oligarchy" ought to watch this video.

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people and corporations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=inBW...

Apparently someone doesn't like what the polls have to say, so they're trying to shoot the messenger.

When I use Google now I just automatically scroll past the AI summaries like they’re banner ads

Defunding universities for having "woke" in their curriculum is a key Trump tactic. Does Poilievre just not understand why he's down in the polls? Does he think that becoming Trumpier is the solution?

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

... and then the pope died.
Coincidence?

In the US right now, if someone tries to arrest you, you have no guarantee, or expectation of due process. Your only chance to avoid torture in a Salvadoran prison is that moment. You're better off making the cops kill you. If you take a cop with you...

This is what Blackstone's Ratio is about.

We can see where this leads by glancing at the headlines from down south. Once you start overriding the civil rights of "bad people" your definition of bad people starts slipping, until you're snatching innocent people off the street and shipping them to El Salvador with no due process.

Remember when Kamala’s polls looked great, she had bigger crowds and everyone said Trump would lose?

Yeah, me too.

That’s why I’m speaking with family, friends and neighbours.

Please do the same - ignore the noise.

This the most important election of our lifetime.
