You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.
from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

it is wild that we don't get president's day off. several of the worst presidents are our university's fault. we should have some time to think about what we did.

I'll be honest, having sat with it a while, other than (1) looking slick and (2) unifying somewhat the user interface across platforms, I don't really get what Liquid Glass is trying to do or why it's a novel design language

Re: Navalny: one point of using a synthesized frog toxin, which the published literature shows THE EXACT SAME LAB that made the Novichok worked out a synthesis pathway, is the reverse of plausible deniability. It's "implausible deniability", a "hahahaha we did and you know we did it"

i keep thinking that once the graphics guys figured out how to project line of scrimmage and first down marker onto the field (hugely useful) they have been flailing wildly trying to come up with new gimmicks so they don't all get laid off

The RFK number seems like a massive failure of the media to explain what RFK is doing to our public health system and how catastrophic it will be

there's probably a bunch of minor ancillary neurological benefits to smoking (might possibly ameliorate schizophrenic symptoms iirc) that are massively outweighed by the whole cancer thing
