Lads, you cannot lose to the British at the baseball.

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

Like a lot of things rich guys believe and fund, the AI consciousness thing is in part driven by a desire to abscond from the responsibility of what they've made. It also explains why so many of them think we're in a simulation. Doesn't matter if everybody died if we're all just 1s and 0s baby!

Trump take beer?

Trump Doctrine:
1) Attack with US military
2) Get money/hotels/oil for Trump Family
3) Declare Victory

these were called 'record stores'

Headline and subhed of Washington Post op-ed arguing that there should be more representation of evangelical Christians on the Supreme Court and other government institutions.

I’m currently writing a book about what’s really wrong with #SCOTUS and how to fix it.

Suffice it to say, this ain’t it:

The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Really worth watching this.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Mass murder in #Kharkiv, with 10 people confirmed dead, including two children, a 13-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy.

Another fifteen people were injured, including an 11-year-old boy.

Horrible

"War is mankind's most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men. Though you follow the trade of the warrior, you do so in the spirit of Washington -- not of Genghis Khan. For Americans, only threat to our way of life justifies resort to conflict." Graduation Exercises at the United States Military Academy, 6/3/47 "Possibly my hatred of war blinds me so that I cannot comprehend the arguments they adduce. But, in my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war. Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war. Worse than this, no one has been able to explain away the fact that war creates the conditions that beget war." Remarks at Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 10/19/50 [DDE's Pre-Presidential Papers, Principal File, Box

Was browsing the Eisenhower Library site this morning trying to find a quote I remembered.

President Eisenhower, WW2 military hero:

“In my opinion, there is no such thing as a preventive war… none has yet explained how war prevents war.”

Hahaha I feel like @benjaminrose.bsky.social is my Arsenal Id above all others. But yea we’re all sickos at the window

The media often treats Trump like some sort of Zelig-like character, a mere bystander in his own administration w/no agency or ability to shape decisions. It's really infuriating considering Biden and Obama were both expected to own everything going on in the country all the time.

lmao

The most scathing critics of Silicon Valley circa 2014 barely scratched the surface of the treachery these companies have shown.

Providing your products to criminal regimes planning to use them to violate human rights on a massive scale is a choice!

Two good finishes, Eze's in particular, and a win. Mansfield made it difficult, but not as difficult as we made it for ourselves.

A few of these Arsenal players performed like this was beneath them at times, don't think Arteta will be impressed at all.

But, into the quarter-finals.

Hooray! Easy enough day out, probably could’ve had four. Impressing nobody but who gives af

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.

How do we always mess up the finish?! Fuck sake
