Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

The Middle East conflict is stress testing global energy. Bloomberg sees oil at $108 in a severe escalation.

We have seen this before. The difference now is that solar and batteries are more cost competitive. Every fossil fuel spike strengthens the case for renewables on energy security alone.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

🫡 Go team enlightened self interest! I, too, would like to live in a more just society, and would pay a premium for the privilege of doing so!

We invented the computer to be reliable and now the most famous and valuable apps are unreliable. This is why God doesn't talk to us anymore.

BREAKING:

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

If Iran killed 140+ girls in a school bombing in a million years does anyone think this wouldn’t be a front page story in NYT? Does anyone think this would be an A11 story? Does anyone think they would be so faux anal retentive about attributing responsibility for five days? Obviously not.

Oh, that's definitely correct, but I think they're going to try anyway.

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Hey that’s about the cost of the SSI Restoration Act, which would cut recipient poverty by 60%, eliminate marriage penalties, and modernize draconian asset limits.

yeah no shit, we have essentially validated the iranian government’s whole worldview for the past 40 years in 3 days

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

lol owned

What else can you say?

some people just operate on another level from us, its a worse level, but it is another one

Literally nothing about war with Iran is good, there is no justification for it, overthrowing the regime not only cannot happen but would not be good if it did, the Iranian government is not uniquely evil, nor is Iran an imminent that to the US.

None of these ideas deserves oxygen.

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

So you'll be able to focus on all the other people you need to fucking impeach, right? No? That's what I thought. Fucking resign.

During the Claude outage, Sr. Techs were like, "Noooooo! How am I supposed to get anything done? 😭"
And I was like, "Haha, keyboard go clicky-clack and code go brrrrrr!"

Periodic reminder that if Luigi Mangione were anyone else accused of any other crime the case would have been dismissed several times over due to the gross and willful incompetence of the officers and the failure to maintain a proper chain of evidence.

That's a four man bombard crew, though.

The biggest threats we face aren't from those who openly seek the destruction of trans lives — dangerous as they are — but from the many, many more who will readily carry out whatever they say.

Every cis person needs to ask themselves that question.

Would you do that? Will you?

Periodic reminder that even the overwhelming majority of AI models do not know that o and о look the same.

Periodic reminder that you can mess up many databases by using non-Latin letters that look exactly like Latin letters to foil the database's ability to join or select entries properly.

Periodic reminder that if you are a functionary, it is your duty to disobey evil instructions and, if disobedience is in some way impossible, you must frustrate the process wherever possible.

It's also where I learned about more differenter "S"es!

It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

For $1 billion a day we could add enough solar panels to double the generating capacity of the US grid in less than five years.

You can listen to fireworks. Loud ones.

Harmless ones that children laugh about.

Hundreds of them.

Every fucking night.
