Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Anyone working in "news" or "politics" needs to finally wrap their minds around the idea that X isn't reaching anyone that matters. You're wasting your time pitching no one. You're wasting your money pitching no one.

No but this is entirely correct

What happened was not surprising, it was perfectly in line with what the organization has stood for and allowed to happen for decades.

Anyone who is SHOCKED that the US men’s hockey team would party with Kash Patel and laugh with the pdf file in chief about him having to invite the US women’s hockey team clearly has very little experience with the NHL.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

As a lifelong Montrealer, having to cheer for Brad Marchand is physically painful.

Oh, the grand old duke of york

One of the most liberating things I’ve ever experienced is realizing that I don’t actually have to be nice. I always strive to be kind, but I definitely do not need to be nice.

Given the use of GenAI among political parties and all that entails, your periodic reminder that we have an Open Letter signed by over 20 AI experts calling on AI regulation. So far only the Green Party has committed to this. Please share among your networks and sign if you haven't already #nzpol

About one of the Trump accusers in this piece:

“The interview [with the alleged victim and her attorney] was conducted July 24, 2019, and entered into the FBI’s case files on August 9, the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell.”

But tell me more about the economic and business genius of these tech bros

Sora 2 apparently cost something like $5 billion to run every year and so far made OpenAI around $1.4 million.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

“God bless America”… and then naming every country in the continent. Fuck yeah.

The Italian coach telling that little kid "your mom is an Olympic Champion" as he got to watch his mom break an Olympic record and win gold 😭😭😭😭😭

the "don't make me tap the sign" simpsons meme where the sign says "Authoritarianism hates art. This basic truth is why AI “art” is the preferred aesthetic of fascism. Tyranny cannot abide human creativity. With human creativity comes free and open discourse, diverse thought, and, most threatening of all, empathy for our fellow man. Both authoritarianism and AI demand and breed conformity, and I can’t think of a more hostile environment for true art. "

I see discourse has taken place

“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ‘getting to know you’ questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes. “And he went wow. That’s amazing! And I said, ‘Oh no, but I’m not any good at any of them.’ “And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: ‘I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes… “And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ‘win’ at them.” -Kurt Vonnegut

All about this Vonnegut quote.

Maybe Armie Hammer just broke containment.

No fucking wonder these motherfuckers didn’t care about children being gunned down in schools if they were doing Epstein files shit on the side.

Every single thing I’ve learned about the Epstein files has been against my will and made me physically ill. I haven’t not felt nauseated in days.

historically, that did in fact happen when the concept of handwashing before delivering babies was developed, and a lot of very offended male doctors killed a lot of women and infants as a result.

self-important wealthy men become offended when someone tells them to follow procedure, constantly.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

Man on a local news street interview: The earth is a resort for like 500 rich people and the rest of us are just the staff.

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened

I had a dream that Trump died and they declared martial law the second JD couchfucker Vance took the job
