Mac Frazier, Boredom Disruptor

Make yourself useful. Solve people’s problems. Put yourself in a position that is vital to your organization’s goals. Take joy in the effort. Become fascinated with getting better. If it’s not fun, rearrange things to add fun. Be curious. If you’re a leader, create more leaders.

RIP Chuck Norris

this is it the dream is coming true

Stepped into a faraday cage and my internal monologue disappeared

whoops

For people not really following the 'regime erosion' element of the Iran War: - Israel has been killing Basij (internal paramilitary/gestapo) at their checkpoints, headquarters, etc. - This was causing notable erosion in checkpoints and attendance - Reza Pahlavi requested that Iranians celebrate Chaharshanbe Suri, kind of a Persian New Years Eve type celebration, which has historically been a time of protest against the regime (and has pre-Islamic/Zoroastrian roots that may be considered heretical by mullahs). - It is possible that a bunch of the top remaining guys in basij/IRGC (Larijani was between main govt and IRGC...) gathered together to discuss how to deal with this. They got bombed. Whoops. - There was chatter about how the Israelis were asking for this but that it would be a slaughter. No such thing happened. - While a couple people were shot, there were apparently celebrations throughout many large cities, and Israel sent drones to harass any squads of Basij forming up to interfere. In my -uninformed- view this was a test run of erosion of command and control, morale, organization. Throughout all this Israel has been calling Basij commanders on their cellphones and, well, threatening to kill them. Next: Pahlavi has requested that tomorrow, people go to the graves of the 'Lion and Sun' martyrs. This is, I think, a next test. My expectation is we will continue to see these eroding steps taken to see how much Basij and IRGC command and control have been broken down. Completely uninformed except reading Persian and diaspora twitter quite a bit the last couple weeks.

yup

this is the best account on here right now

If the war keeps taking out murderous Iranian political and security leadership I am concerned that there will no longer be suitable candidates to lead the UN Human Rights Council.

I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I've just finished a bottle of Worcestershire Sauce. What happens now? Does this tear a hole in the space time continuum or something? The last time this happened David Bowie, George Micheal, John Hurt and Professor Snape died. Is there a number to call to something?

BREAKING: Qatar has declared Iranian military and security officials persona non grata, ordering them to leave the Gulf nation within 24 hours.

interesting

I would be proud of this too

Today is a great day for people who know who the Bene Tleilax are.

DUNE PART THREE..😅

dune 3 is only the "epic conclusion" because they're too scared to make a movie that's just two straight hours of a sandworm arguing with jason momoa

@DeadBirdDrawer wow thanks!! gotta say, I was hoping for more semiotics and less history, but still, that’s on Eco you delivered :)

whoa now I want to hear what Umberto Eco has to say about this story

I listen to instrumental music all the time I have almost no internal monologue I can “talk in my head” if I choose to, but most of the time there is no narration a voice going on in my head would be as distracting as one in my ears when I want to think deeply, I play Bach

The most exhausting part of ADHD isn't being "lazy," it's being incredibly intelligent and capable of complex problem-solving, yet being completely defeated by a single unreplied email or a pile of laundry. You spend your whole life apologizing for a "potential" you can see but can't consistently reach
