“Evil cannot create anything new, it can only corrupt and ruin what good forces have invented or made” —J.R.R. Tolkien

A six month CBS investigation found no evidence that California’s highest in the nation gas prices are the result of price gouging, as state politicians have repeatedly claimed. Instead, the investigation found those prices are largely the result of California’s own policies.

2025 likely had the lowest *absolute* number of murders since 1968. Think about how big of a new story the rise in murder was. Nobody cares about an even more remarkable decline. Pessimism has won regardless of what's happening in reality. richardhanania.com/p/coups-in-afr…

Japan is proving yet again that it is the only first world nation.

@ArkNemesis5 @litvampiress99 Is appreciating human art and ingenuity equal to ignoring genocide and famine? Most people have absolutely no agency over genocide and famine in the world

@litvampiress99 How are u appreciating life by ignoring the genocide and famine cause some keys got jingled in front of ur face? This your first Earth picture? Fucking loser.

Genocide and hunger across the planet but here's a cool picture from a distance so you can be proud of yourself in your meritless complicity.

@ArkNemesis5 Lolol if you think genocide and hunger are only a modern phenomenon, I have some really bad news

When people realize that Mississippi is spending between $10-$13k per pupil & has gone from 49th in education to 9th in the nation in 13 years, & that they did so by switching to a pre-90s phonics curriculum instead of just flooding a bad system with more money. They'll revolt

There are no words.

@AstridEquis @rainylavndr @seanapriori Lololol form the love of god get out of information bubble

@rainylavndr @seanapriori OMG absolutely! AI is based on theft of (ironically) writers’ work, artist work (without their consent or renumeration) AND data centers are bad for air, land, water, electricity, finite resources Humans need! Disappointed but not surprised😒

that disappointing moment when you find out the author of one of your favorite books uses generative ai, is against real world commentary/politics in fiction, and deeply misunderstands star trek

@seanapriori @rainylavndr I’d much rather get rid of golf courses and create more data centers

@rainylavndr The environmental impact is a lot more negligible than people think. It's as if we increased the total globally irrigated farmland by 0.1% in terms of water use. That's for all gen AI in the world combined.

you're never gonna believe this

Sad to see this happen to beloved local restaurant Red Lobster which has literally been part of a corporate conglomerate since 1970.

Victor Glover failed an engineering class his sophomore year of college. His dad talked him out of joining the Navy SEALs and told him an engineering degree and pilot wings might make him an astronaut someday. Right now Glover is somewhere between the Earth and the Moon. He grew up in Pomona, California. Played quarterback in high school, wrestled well enough to place sixth at the state championship, won Athlete of the Year. Went to Cal Poly for engineering and played both sports at the college level. He got his Navy wings in 2001 and started flying F/A-18 fighter jets off aircraft carriers. His squadron deployed on the USS John F. Kennedy to fight in Iraq, the carrier’s final deployment ever. Twenty-four combat missions. His commanding officer gave him the callsign “Ike,” short for “I Know Everything.” He became a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base and over his career flew more than 40 types of aircraft, 3,000 hours in the air, everything from a Korean War-era Soviet MiG-15 to the Goodyear blimp. More than 400 landings on a moving carrier deck. He earned three master’s degrees in three years. He once told Cal Poly’s president that the hardest thing he ever chose to do was walk in space. The second hardest was wrestling practice. He applied to NASA in 2009 and got rejected. Applied again in 2013 while working in the U.S. Senate for John McCain. NASA’s head of flight crew operations called him. He missed the call. Frantically dialed back. Eight people got in that year out of more than 6,000 applicants. NASA put him in the pilot seat for the first operational SpaceX Crew Dragon flight in 2020. He spent 168 days on the International Space Station and walked in space four times. Last June he went back to Cal Poly to accept an honorary doctorate. His wife Dionna and their oldest daughter Genesis both walked across the stage at the same ceremony to pick up their own degrees. Three days ago Glover launched from Kennedy Space Center. The crew will fly past the far side of the Moon on Monday and travel about 252,000 miles from home, breaking a distance record that Apollo 13 set fifty-six years ago. They come back at roughly 25,000 mph. He has four daughters. His callsign is still Ike.

Perfect no notes

Far-right gains almost always come as a backlash to far-left overreach. This is no exception.
