I think when people mindlessly say things like "Freedom isn't free" in an effort to obscure the horrors of war and what this regime is doing, they should be asked about crimes like this

We're in court today asking a judge to block a new Kansas law that invalidates the IDs of transgender people and allows anyone to sue a person they suspect of being trans for using public restrooms.

This law has been wreaking havoc on trans people and we're demanding an immediate end to it.

The funniest part of this was it would take a few seconds for it to work and the person who just yelled Xbox Go Home you could always hear them on the mic be like NOOOO- after they realized what they had said just before they disappeared

When they first released the Kinect on Xbox, the one thing that worked well was voice commands.

Some brilliant kid changed his handle to Xbox Go Home and whenever someone would get mad and yell at him in CoD, if they had a Kinect it would shut down their game.

Clarke's original patent illustration, showing the rotating device against grid paper with projections of hyperbolic calculations

Speaking of graphing calculators, the forerunner of the modern digital device was a physical invention by Edith Clarke, one of the big names in 20th-century engineering and math.

It actually could do a lot of what that TI-8x could do!

Always punching down. Always kissing up. The Republicans need a new mascot with just a fist on the down end and a pair of lips on the up end.

I think they're getting close to finding their new slogan, although "We are all going to die some day" is still a strong contender.

I have a nice little plastic-enclosed flat of "Gemstones of the World," with Carnelian and Amethyst and other pretty rocks. There should be one empty one, like something had been glued to it, and label it "Diamond."

It seems that instead of bombing Iranian jets & helicopters, the US & Israel have been bombing 'drawings'.

Iran is using anamorphic ground paintings to deceive enemy attacks. Look at this video released by the IDF β€” the β€˜destroyed Mi-17 helicopter’ is just a painting on the asphalt.

Those pesky β€œrules of engagement” that Hegseth says he got rid of are designed to prevent, among other things, the bombing of elementary schools

β€œMAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

These are war crimes, violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Increasingly I think we should turn the whole Trump cabinet over to the ICC to be tried at The Hague.

I really encourage everyone to spend some time with the DHS Flickr page, which in one year posted thousands and thousands of glamour shot propaganda photos of Kristi Noem and little else. Our tax dollars! www.flickr.com/photos/dhsgov/

She was doing hectograph! And I think she had to come up with the bulk of the ingredients that herself.
