Poster on the subway that asks HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR BRAIN?

Block early and often

When pondering “lethality,” this quote from Sherman in 1865 comes to mind:

“War means success by any and every means; it is not fighting alone. Bulls do that, and bears, and all beasts, but men attain objects by intellect, and the introduction of physical power, moved upon strategic points."

We are the shithole nation.
We are the citizens of a rouge, murderous empire.
Our leaders are butchers.

That no one in he Republican leadership -- and none of his GOP colleagues -- have found the voice to condemn this utter trash says everything about them.

So Hormuz generally saw 20m barrels per day, so the combined release of 400m by the IEA and 172 from the US SPR buys them just about a month or so, right?

Except the oil in the reserves probably can't come out at 20m per day, so an incomplete solution for slightly longer?

I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Goodnight from Weychester Morris, where a record number of injuries have been sustained practising the Leaping Devil stick dance. Goodnight from Felix Draper, rubbing his finger around a glass of apple brandy to produce the tone that summons the Krath Malgav. Goodnight from Hookland.

Hi friends. I'm reposting this for anyone who missed it yesterday.

since the US is never going de-Nazify the millions of Americans who have been behind Trump & his minions since the beginning and haven't stopped, and Israel is never going to deal with the percentage of its citizens who have been behind Netanyahu & his minions, we need to swap people to punish.

I tell no tale; but even as deep-dive research was the foundation of my game, so also it was my destruction. I delved too greedily and too deep, and found the article from which I fled, on Olmec infant head-shaping.

Oh, and look, here's that class action suit! That anyone with half a brain would have seen coming! From, like, a million miles away!

Just because you work in tech doesn't mean you're smart.

Finally got this back from the 11 year old

Painting of gladiatorial games in the Roman Colosseum. There are three bodies in the bloody sand, but one is still alive for the moment. A gladiator with a sword and shield stands with a foot on the neck of a fallen fighter who is stretching a hand up to beg mercy. The man with the sword is looking up at the spectators who are signaling thumbs down to demand the death of the gladiator on the ground. The emperor in his box has not yet made a sign.

*This hacker dude lamenting on the YouTube video is suffering from "The Deep Blues," which is an AI-aligned frame-of-mind that I didn't list with the other terms-of-art here.

*In the "Deep Blues," you're in mourning for the sudden loss of your self-defining professional skills from the pre-AI era

"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."

To echo Steve, this is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. Either AUSA is publishing clickbait or “the discourse” has boiled down to “here’s some words that mean nothing; reward me by publishing them”

Coin toss on which it is, tbh

*Let's be fair here. Centrist tech-skepticism does exist. It sounds like "Yes wind and solar actually work great now but we better not install any because reasons."

*Billionaire hacker teen businessmen, I have to admire that concept-become-reality. Billionaire business-entities devoid of human involvement that have code-names like "Wintermute" and "Neuromancer," they may already exist
