"*begun* to question" is covering for a lot of bad judgment that many of us didn't fall prey to

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Not sure War Machine is "good", but it has five things I like:

(1) invasion by technologically superior extraterrestrials
(2) some sort of "basic training" (RASP)
(3) a leader who doesn't want to lead
(4) *zero* mention of gender in a mixed-gender team
(5) very early and obvious Chekov's gun

Finally found a nursery that carries this bizarre cultivar of gooseneck loosestrife I've been obsessed with ever since I saw it on somebody's gardening Pinterest board.

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

At what price point do you get uninsured tankers routinely YOLO-ing through the Strait?

That's what I want to know.

It really is painful how impulsively dumb the president is. All the people who put him back in power should be deported.
