Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. chinatalk.media/p/its-time

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

This video captures exactly why our shared reality is breaking.
Andrew hesitates because he knows he lacks context, Nick insists that hesitation itself is a weakness and that any gut reaction should be defended on sight.
Thie exchange explains a lot about the post-fact world we are stuck in. Claims get loyalty before they get scrutiny, confidence substitutes for understanding, and humility gets framed as fear.
When people are trained to lock in early and fight forever, learning becomes some sort of betrayal.
The result is simply a noise that sounds like certainty and a public square where nobody backs off long enough to find out if they were wrong.

This is only possible because the port of Long Beach isn’t under the control of the International Longshoreman’s Association.

This isn’t China. This is Long Beach, California. Over 100 transport containers move autonomously between quayside cranes, storage yards, and rail transfer points. The vehicles can achieve a maximum speed of 13 mph, and can transport containers that are up to 70 tonnes.

the amish/mennonites/etc are a case study in larping the cottagecore aesthetic without any of the coquettish parts

not at all comparable. vine shutdown was like the closing of moviepass, tiktok ban is like the burning of the library alexandria
Chris Brennan@chrisbrennan7
TikTok shut down tonight—almost exactly 8 years to the day since Vine closed on January 17, 2017. One Venus cycle ago. A perfect repetition.

this photo of the guy who wrote the vanity fair article valorizing cormac mccarthy’s pedophilia is a wonderful visual aid to pair with the displeasure of reading the piece
VANITY FAIR@VanityFair
Exclusive: Augusta Britt is one of the most significant—and secret—inspirations in literary history, giving life to dozens of Cormac McCarthy’s characters across his celebrated novels and Hollywood films. For 47 years, Britt closely guarded her identity and her story—until now. 🔗: vanityfair.visitlink.me/HmC3ka

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.

You can cheat in the national election, but not at a scale enough to swing the Presidential election.
You would need to get 13,000 watermarked ballots (!!!) AND 13,000 fake or stolen drivers licenses/voter ID (!!!) to swing in the tightest race — Georgia.
Please, some criminal mastermind please explain to us how you would do this on Tuesday — especially given the amount of scrutiny on the swing states!
@jason@Jason
It is IMPOSSIBLE to "steal" the Presidential election by cheating. You *MIGHT* be able to steal a very local election, but you would almost certainly get caught. Put this aside for a moment and let's talk about Tuesday's Presidential race. Here's some basic logic and math: 1/We have 50 different states, each with its own process. You can cheat in every state, sure, but you can't do it at a scale that tips even the tightest swing state.

I installed a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's solar powered, and the mic is pointed down at the street below walzr.com/bop-spotter

1️⃣,0️⃣3️⃣7️⃣ days.
Vice President Harris has been leading the Administration’s signature, $42 billion plan to extend Internet to millions of Americans for 1️⃣,0️⃣3️⃣7️⃣ days now.
The result?
0️⃣ people have been connected to the Internet. Not one home. Not one business. None.

@SciGuySpace It would really be fascinating to dive more deeply into Polaris Dawn’s mission. It seems to be analogous to a NASA program but privately funded and somewhat philanthropic in nature.

Polaris Dawn ends as a huge success.
