She is so disciplined

Yeah it's weirdly doubling down on lockjaw's fetish

Without thinking, retweet with the first Simpsons joke that comes into your head

Absolutely. Sensei doesn't have any manifestos or code words

The Real Cyber War

Anyone read Powers & Jablonski (2014) _The Real Cyberwar_ www.press.uillinois.edu/books/?id=p0...

Thank god PTA isn't a communist, the movie's communism is much better for it

Lockjaw is the obvious example because he's a bad guy. But it's all downhill for the French 75 after the first raid where they announce their guerrilla war.

Read some lefty reviews like "well this gives the wrong idea of how revolutions happen, there's no mass movement here." And yes that's the whole point of the dang movie! Everyone (bar Sensei) is locked in a fight inside their own dang heads that isolates them from the world they're trying to save.

Xbox’s Game-Pass Hike Shows Cost of Lost ‘Call of Duty’ Sales Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division surprised many video game enthusiasts this week when the company announced a 50% price hike, to $30 a month, for the highest level tier in its Game Pass subscription se...

Whether consoles die probably ultimately depends on how much money Microsoft is willing to lose on games like Call of Duty. It's obvs what the industry wants but I'm still bearish. Game Pass growth has slowed, so they're hiking prices 50%. MS CFO is asking Xbox to diversify revenue.

Howard Lutnick Enrages Trump Officials With Jeffrey Epstein ‘Blackmail’ Remarks The Trump administration claims Jeffrey Epstein didn’t blackmail anyone. His commerce secretary just called Epstein ‘the greatest blackmailer ever.’

People in the Trump WH are upset that the Sec'y of Commerce suggested that Trump's former Sec'y of Labor has access to videos of Epstein's massage room and that everyone who spent time with Epstein knew he was gross but he bribed them all into silence with said videos. zeteo.com/p/trump-jeff...

Gorgeous--and what a paranoid soundtrack! Sexualizing the fight could've been dumb as hell but Sean Penn made it a real Male Fantasies fascism. Give him an Oscar.

What a tremendous goddamn movie

Being yelled at by people who want stuff from you is part of the job description

Tickets secured for tomorrow. Might mess around and watch How to Blow Up A Pipeline tonight for a 21c weather underground double feature

A graduate worker wearing a high-vis vest holds a sign which reads "Honk if you [heart symbol] unions". In the distance, grad workers march along the sidewalk

UMD graduate workers, many wearing red, march and chant along the sidewalk. A sign in the foreground reads, "If we don't get it, shut it down!"

A group of UMD grad workers standing along a street. Many are holding UAW signs.

UMD grad workers line the entire sidewalk stretching down Baltimore Ave during the GLU Majority March.

UMD admin, take notice: 1000 grads came out to our Majority March on Oct 1 to say that we're done playing by your rules. Negotiate with us now, or we WILL shut it down!

Trump has been talking about Nobel Prizes and coins and whether he'll get into heaven for one simple reason: the alien Goa'uld parasite is done with his swollen body but the only underlings who know how to use the Stargate have been laid off.

Data centers are for storage. They're relatively location insensitive. If this is a last-mile OLT for one single network, then yeah it could be tiny. But if it's a carrier hotel, then it's relatively location sensitive and the incentive there is to keep building it up to connect many networks.

(Obviously you know this location and the town better than me, I'm just saying this is the shape of the market)

Oh on the contrary it often takes up much more space. All but the largest carrier hotels had to expand in the move from phone to internet, because you need processing power in addition to the nodal connection. Clients rent individual cages, or a whole bunch of them, and service them themselves

There are two reasons for this
1-keeping the House out jams the Senate with the 7-week CR as the only available option
2-it keeps Adelita Grijalva from being sworn in, so there aren't 218 names on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files

I'm pretty confident it's still supporting telephone service and other networking services. It's just fiber or cable, not copper. It's valuable real estate for a CenturyLink because someone needs to own the node where, eg, Google and Uber connect.

Popular consensus is that we're at the beginning of a 50-year Kondratiev wave, with AI powering the next boom. But it's just as likely we're at the end of a 50-year Pérez wave, where AI is a speculative, relatively arcane investment that we've settled on after the other growth opportunities dried up

MORGAN STANLEY: “.. it’s difficult to ignore the market’s reliance on AI capex. In market-pricing terms, we believe we’re closer to the seventh inning than the first, and several developments indicate we may be entering the later phases of the boom.” 👀

Honestly "engineers" was bad too

"Full-day kindergarten expansions were responsible for as much as 24 percent of the growth in employment of mothers with kindergartenaged children in this time frame."

Possibility: this whole year is Make a Wish for a deeply awful person with a terminal illness.

This is good. If I could make one minor suggestion: separate out the bad parts of the totality. It'll be so much easier if we could just externalize these social relations internal to capitalism.
