This ballroom is never getting built

I’ve listened to all the Meghann Burke’s appearances on Meg Linehan’s podcast and she is such a fierce defender of the players, a great person to be the executive director of the union

I think this is a big deal, maybe it won’t register in the States, but it’s a massive wave to make and I’m not sure it stops with these countries

Of course Tom Cotton thinks the boat strikes are fine, he’s basically advocated for such violence, including against US citizens, in the pages of the New York Times. He’s no kind of barometer

I'll be honest: I do not care if these artists ever get paid. You perform at the Trumpified Kennedy Center, you should expect to get the full Trump treatment (which often means that you're getting screwed over).

Crucial memory will soon be a memory itself as Micron abandons consumers in favor of AI data centers The RAM crisis is just getting started.

This is like if Tyson stopped selling consumer chicken. RAM is about to cost as much as a brand new pc. The cost of everything from tablets, to phones, to laptops will skyrocket. All because AI data centers are consuming all the available RAM they can get.

I collaborated with exceptionally talented people in infectious diseases to write this Special Article about aluminum salts in childhood vaccines.
We review the evidence base for key safety concerns and offer guidance for communication with caregivers.

This is so fucked.
It means they already studied for and passed their citizenship test (which I guarantee most Americans would fail). They were just waiting for the ceremony to make it official.

world cups gonna go great, guys

resigning in protest doesn't work if you don't protest

Adopting this anti-trans posture gains you nothing at all, it kinda just seems like you needed cover to be anti-trans because you were that way all along.

This is an absolutely sociopathic thing to want

This is all true and yet I will be so happy if the result of this is the end of David Zaslav's time as a media executive where his only actual skill is making himself money.

I mean, you just have wonder what the hell is happening when so folks who call themselves Christians are so committed so hard to outright blasphemy

Yeah this is really thing and it’s frustrating because like… I want to create a world in which white evangelicals can simply be a large minority group in American life that are treated as a large minority group in American life. But they *do not want that* they want domination.

A color photograph of the tall STERLING nuclear device canister hanging from a crane before being lowered into its test shaft. The canister is painted white and has the test name stenciled in red capital letters near the top. Several workers, two wearing hard hats with one hand each on the canister, are standing nearby.

Today in 1966, the United States conducted the STERLING nuclear test inside the Tatum Salt Dome, 22 miles southwest of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. A device with a 380-ton yield was detonated 2,710 feet underground inside the cavity created by the 5.3-kiloton SALMON test on October 22, 1964.

"Assume a perfect AI" seems to be the starting point for all this. It's the "perpetual motion" or "free energy" of our age. And by all means, we can talk about it...

When they actually have it, and not a day before.

Yup. A very familiar shape to the maps I voted under when I lived in Austin

Remaining politically unbiased requires staying neutral on matters like evidence, relevant past behavior, clear patterns, obvious lies, and observable truth, which is worth remembering whenever somebody starts complaining about political bias.

Hong Kong's grief meets Beijing's red lines The blaze that consumed Wang Fuk Court burned for two days, but its political shock waves may echo for weeks, even months.

The sense of betrayal deepened when #Beijing issued a warning not to let "a disaster disrupt #HongKong ", reinforcing the belief that the state prioritised protecting its authority, not its people.

Wage Theft vs. Other Forms of Theft in the U.S. | Tompkins County Workers' Center We have way too many people who come to us @ the Tompkins County Workers’ Center have been the victim of Wage Theft. This image graphically lays out the monetary costs, on a national level, of Wage Th...

Means testing and sussing out freeloaders tends to cost just as much as if we'd just let it go, honor system style! So exasperating.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Calls Somalis 'Garbage' in Anti-Immigrant Tirade

Somali immigrants: President Trump unleashed a xenophobic tirade against Somali immigrants during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, calling them "garbage" he does not want in the United States in an outburst that captured the raw nativism that has animated his approach to immigration. Even for Mr. Trump - who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries - his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry. And it came as he started a new ICE operation targeting Somalis in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.

Refreshingly clear language from the NYT

before you are allowed to run one (1) Elon Musk prediction as if it is news, you should be required to provide three (3) past predictions of his that have already come true

I no longer listen to Michael W Smith, the Christian music phase of my life has, uh, passed. But still he was a big part of it. Not just because he was the favorite artist of a girl I had a crush on, but like not totally unrelated either

Now, to be fair, Michael W Smith was already approaching middle age when I started listening to him and he still looks WAY younger than he is

Out at a venue in Florida and so many acts are clearly old-timer related, like you can guess their average audience. And them I see Michael W Smith’s name and I feel personally attacked

I would rather have a world where we all trust each other and accept that a few people will take advantage of it than a world where folks have to perform disability constantly in order to get the help they need. Let kids have an extra 30 minutes on the test, jesus fucking christ

Love that iHeartRadio tag “100% human” followed by 50% of ads hawking business related AI services on my podcasts

I want this “line goes down” energy for this family for the rest of their grifting days
