"You have Bachelors degree in Math, Science, Engineering, or another data intensive field of study such as Library Science"

Library Science wouldn't have been my first choice as an example of "another data intensive field of study". AI?

Ooh… a P-8 Poseidon over the Monterey Peninsula. Looks like they must be on a training flight… they came all the way down from NAS Whidbey Island.

Yeah… the "lists.xlsx" file should be a dead give away.

i.e. make the descriptions show up when you initially open the Labels screen, not hiding the descriptions until after you check the corresponding box (current functionality).

It would be helpful if @bsky.app included descriptions on that screen. "Graphic Media" is supposed to be used for "Explicit or potentially disturbing media." Anything with violence should be tagged, but I fear people think it's only for "blood and gore".

When the news starts saying "The US did such and such for the first time in combat since World War II"…

…you know things are crazy.

One of the indicia, at least to me, that it the remains the host country’s territory: the host country’s courts continue to have general jurisdiction over crimes committed on the premises, except where waived by treaty with respect to diplomats.

Talk about privilege:

In 1968, the University of California charged a $300/yr registration fee ($2,780 in 2026 dollars).

The current equivalent charges to attend are $16,698.

As individual parents, that might be true. But as a collective, the intergenerational β€œfuck you, I got mine” energy is ridiculous.

…until there’s a re-org within the vehicle paint agency, and they stop painting things for a while while they settle on which shade of greenbrown they are going to use going forwards… and the painting contractor has to lay off all its workers.

I might be a tad bitter.

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

in 30 years this will be every american high schooler's most hated section of us history

too much bullshit happens

zero rationale behind any of it

it's just going to be a list of unhinged things and thin pretexts you will NOT be able to guess what happened next you WILL memorize the whole chapter

It shocks me that we are days into this war and no one has bothered to say what we hope to achieve.

No stimulus checks, please.

Those were the cause of a decent amount of the inflation we experienced during the pandemic/recovery.

Find other ways of helping working families, without burdening them with higher prices.

My theory is that it was the Israelis who actually drove the exact timing, based on their HUMINT resources, with the US waiting for their green light.

That said, the information is readily discernible from the photo of the drone that was approved for release.

If they had wanted to keep that secret, they wouldn’t have released the photo, or would have obscured it (like they do with submarine propellers)

SpaceX SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft.

The Starshield system/network/whatever is publicly acknowledged.

The fact a specific weapons platform uses it may not be, and he shouldn’t talk about it or confirm anything, and should be referring enquires to the customer.

As we’ve all seen, the rules seemingly don’t apply to him…

Historically, these are TERRIBLE polling numbers for day 1 of a major US use of force, particularly against a well known and disliked adversary. Usually it only goes down from the start

Disappointing but likely true. The media feeds on conflict and chaos, and can never be satisfied with everything just running… smoothly.
