Most Americans did not approve of marriage between black and white people until 1996.

Platner discourse now includes “The conspiracy theorist whose podcast Platner went on isn’t antisemitic because criticizing Israel
Isn’t antisemitic and he has compelling ideas about how Israel secretly assassinated Charlie Kirk and how George Soros got Mamdani elected to be an Israeli puppet”

A British newspaper has decided who the leader of the US Democratic party is

Wut?

“The Nazi tattoo guy who retweets white supremacists and goes on antisemitic podcasts and says both parties are the same will be a reliable democratic vote, don’t worry” I mean LISTEN TO YOURSELVES

Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun

I don’t even really think this is fair. Iraq was heavily debated publicly, and there was a plan. It was a stupid and delusional plan based on unrealistic assumptions, but it was known publicly and voted on by Congress.

There was no public debate or Congressional authorization in this instance.

If you do what I suggested it turns off the AI without removing the tabs

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

You know how in cyberpunk they talk about rogue AI or obsolete/outdated/inferior builds? I think we are already there.

I can also write a 3 line email without assistance. And I can use the search bar to find emails pretty effectively. These are low-value add features. Maybe useful for someone but not for me.

I am not opposed to LLMs but I don't need google to (incorrectly) summarize my email threads for me. And the clutter is annoying.

How to turn off Gemini in Gmail without turning off tabs & other innocuous "smart features." In the general setting tab you'll see a check box to turn on smart features. You don't want to uncheck that. You want to click on "manage workspace smart features" and toggle the features off in the popup.

No score-settling exception in the LOAC?

I know maps are less popular than clickbait, but pls entertain me

🧵 We are watching two escalating conflicts at the same time:

• Pakistan–Afghanistan cross-border fighting
• Israel–Iran strikes, with spillover across the Gulf

These events may converge into a regional displacement crisis.

Sounds like score-settling according to @judah-grunstein.bsky.social

Someone last night also noted that there will inevitably be foreign actors monitoring the market for signals. That could mean opening up the people placing these bets to blackmail. It could also mean the US military finds their surprise attack wasn't such a surprise/troops put in danger.

I would have liked Iraq to bloodlessly become a stable multi-ethnic democracy too.

in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months

Why? Is he even in office anymore? I think he was on the outs with the regime anyway?

Opinion | There is no reason to think this war with Iran is necessary Trump criticized the Iraq War. Now he’s making the same mistakes.

My big takeaway from the invasion of Iraq—which I regret having supported—is that the US should go to war only when it has to. It should not engage in preventative wars against nebulous threats based on suspect intelligence and without a clear endgame. Yet here we go again. wapo.st/4seF5K1

War On String May Be Unwinnable, Says Cat General

Real bad day for people who can’t conceive of being upset with different people to different degrees

Gov. Hochul should work on building a nuclear arsenal for New York State.

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective.

But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
