the real lesson isn't which init system to use - it's that any component deeply embedded in every linux distro becomes a policy enforcement point. today it's age verification in userdb. tomorrow it's whatever the next mandate requires. the architecture of your system determines what the state can demand from it.

Democrats: “lol if we ever come to power again we are going to flood the country with another 100 million illegals and throw you all in prison.”
Senate GOP: “Ermmm guys… We can’t break with our precious norms and procedures and pass voter ID…”

Democratic Illinois Governor JB Pritzker speaks about a Democratic "Project 2029" in which members of the current Trump administration, along with federal agents, will be criminally and civilly prosecuted. "Whatever it is that we can do. It may be that you cannot criminally prosecute somebody, but you can go after them civilly." Follow: @AFpost

Jesus Christ Trump is a smooth operator. 1000 Year American Empire.

Holeeee sh*t. There it is, as expected, but ahead of schedule. After lighting the energy world on fire, the US is proposing to ban petroleum exports. This is going to be perceived by the rest of the world as a bad-faith move, which it is.

"Today Iran damaged an F-35. Clearly they're winning." Lol k.
🏴☠️@calvinfroedge
So today Iran crippled world gas output for years, hit an F35, and knocked the power out in Haifa after hitting Israel's only oil refinery with a ballistic missile I think it might be time to say it - Iran is winning the war

Anyone arguing that minor damage to a US aircraft, sustained while lollygagging over hostile airspace is an epoch altering event is arguing the US military is so strong that the mere damaging of one of its weapons is a great feat.

Ever since the courts forced McSorley’s to start serving women in 1970, straight men have been trying to figure out how to build a bar no woman will ever set foot inside. And now it exists.

We're excited to announce 'The Situation Room' by Polymarket is coming to Washington, D.C. The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 🧵

@ScythianB The thing about a linear dungeon is that players will see every room, in a particular order. Player choices don't matter because there are no choices to be made.
English
A linear dungeon isn't railroading.
Railroading is when player actions have no impact on the end result.
That's it.
Nobleshield@Nobleshield
@nugbonuggs Exactly. IMHO it's not railroading to give a plot hook (e.g., the NPC asks you to do something for them). Railroading is no choice in HOW you do that something.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul:
2022: [to Republicans] "jump on a bus and head down to Florida, you don't represent our values, you are not New Yorkers."
2026: "maybe the first step is to go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, our tax base has been eroded."
🤣

Let's not forget it also boosts GDP figures which makes left-leaning states' economies look better.

As I said about Somalis and Minnesota -- the State Govt turns a blind eye because if immigrant communities thru organized fraud obtain money from federally funded programs, that means more money flowing into Calif to support immigrant communities with general financial needs such that there is less need for state funded welfare and other similar programs. It's as simple as "Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money" for state government employees who have no purpose other than to give away benefits.

@MartinSkold2 We already have. You can actually, literally, today, get a PhD in education without having read a single book.
English
Yes - which also means that it will be very difficult to teach basic long-form English composition unless you ask students to handwrite it in the classroom over several days (and leave the manuscript with the teacher).
And without that, do not assume students will even be able to “read” what they “write.” We will have institutionalized the already real phenomenon of the functionally illiterate college “student.”

Any work sent home or completed on a computer will be done by AI and chatbots The only option is hand written, old-fashioned tests and essays now

Hot take: I think going after things people said when they're 15 is fine if they continue to say them at 35.

During the first Gulf War, a British co-worker at MicroProse Software mocked Americans because we had freedom of speech. He said, "In Britain, when we are dealing with a sensitive government issue, we bring all the reporters into a room and tell them exactly what is going on, then tell them that they are all under the Official Secrets Act and they can't post a single thing about what we just said or any reference to it. You Yanks have to try to hide everything from your reporters, because you can't just jail them if they write the wrong thing."
He was so proud.

When Pete Hegseth was going through is confirmation hearing, Elizabeth Warren wrote an entire letter about how his "Deus Vult" tattoo made him "a right wing extremist" unfit for service.
She just endorsed the guy with the Nazi tattoo.

Reminder that EVERYTHING is an achievement: St. Augustine was shocked to find St. Ambrose reading *silently* (reading was then social and aloud) and private silent reading only really took off 700 years after in the 12 century.

Leftists dislike effective altruists because EAs are smart and honest enough to publicly disbelieve a lot of leftist dogmas, and more fundamentally to disavow the leftist mode of thought.
Rightists dislike EAs because they are hubristic central planners. One way to define rightism is the belief in an intelligence greater than humans. This can be God, or markets, or evolution (taken seriously as a discovery process), or the Landian fusion of all three. But fundamentally there is a rejection of closure, an embrace of the Outside, an a priori skepticism of grand plans. So when they hear “you just need to give Our People global power to stop the apocalypse” they see the echoes of every other failed totalitarian/closure project and write you off.

It’s not crazy for both progressives and conservatives to dislike the same thing It’s slightly crazy that both sides at least claim they think that EA is fundamentally aligned with the other side

> Harvey Milk fucked an underage homeless boy
> MLK cheated on his wife and was allegedly present during a rape
> Malcolm X pimped and beat women
> Gandhi slept next to teens to "test his willpower"
> Cesar Chavez raped young girls
Is there a single civil rights icon who isn't a sexual predator?
Shane Goldmacher@ShaneGoldmacher
MUST READ: A bombshell NYT investigation shows that Cesar Chavez sexually abused young girls. Dolores Huerta also discloses for first time that that Chavez raped her. So much more from Manny Fernandez and Sarah Hurtes —> nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…
