You know what tho

As the reigning champion of seeing the boundary between two slightly different colors, I'm gonna need y'all to show me a little more respect here now.

Okay so we have a problem that needs to be solved in days for the global economy not to seize up. What if we gathered the largest tanker truck fleet in the world and sent them all barreling toward a tiny Omani fishing village that’s suddenly the biggest commercial port in the world? Could that work?

Elad Simchayoff on twitter: I interviewed two Israeli Air Force pilots who are part of the operation in Iran. When I asked what it felt like to enter Iranian airspace for the first time, one of them said: “You find yourself thinking, what do these people, so far away from us, actually want from us? They have a huge and beautiful country. Right now full of snow and lakes. Truly a very, very beautiful place. What do they want from us, this small piece of land? It’s such a strange feeling.”

A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.

Screenshit of a JND result of 0.0038. Result text is "ok this is genuinely impressive. Yoi're well below tge standard JND of 0.02. The CIE should be sending you a job offer. Or at least a certificate"

Can never walk past a challenge

It's just such a dysphoric looking thing to do to yourself

Dear romantasy writers: stop trying to prove your military training is so brutal by saying how many people die during it. A country with a strong military does not want recruits dying in training. They want them to live to see the battle. Training deaths are also just really bad for morale.

I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!

"Make noncommital pleasant noises and back out of store" was the fire alarm message overwhelming my brain the whole time

Went into a shop today and the dude running it had Hollywood Teeth and omfg, however offputting they are in pics, IRL they are an order of magnitude more "inhuman beast creature, do not turn your back or enter any agreement with it"

The BBC are really going out of their way to not call these The Peter Files.

“We’ve. Been scooping voices and content for so long we got ahead of ourselves. We thought we had expanded to the point folks wouldn’t care if we did it to academics thanks to the wave of anti university sentiment. We’ll try again later”

There are automatic doors in places in my university. They aren’t calibrated for the height of a wheelchair user, and they frequently are left switched off.

Technology is only as inclusive as the people who implement it, and right now, they’re extremely…not.

Like ever 2 years, straight men find a way to reinvent masculinity with even MORE standards than the ones they already weren’t meeting and then get mad at the rest of us for not coddling them through it.

Fitting that they sent the Temu version of a cease and desist

Whether it's Democrat John Kerry asking for Swiss on his cheesesteak or Republican Donald Trump demanding a list of Jews at the University of Pennsylvania, both sides have made controversial requests in the city of Philadelphia.

This is where the real humiliation kink comes in. He asked. They lied out of vanity and we get to see how pathetic they all are.

I’m not sure it’s possible to write a review of anything more repellant to me than this.

Which obviously means I’ll be drunk and angrily watching a movie adaptation of it on a Delta flight in about two years.
