You can always tell when Trump gets fed a line from his Russian/Chinese handlers because suddenly his numbers become correct.

@sgodofsk Iranian one-way attack drones have engines of more fundamentally sound modern engineering that the ones humans are supposed to use.

the cause of the engine failure is that the engines used in light aircraft are all 1940s designs because it's too expensive to get the FAA to approve new ones.

@Robotbeat the concept of degrowth exists only because the last people who remember the Great Depression have recently died

Mid 20th Century leftists were so much more pro-growth that it's actually absurd.

@the_engi_nerd @HonzaStropek no see anti-ship missiles won't work because they're not anti-battleship missiles, right in the name

@HonzaStropek From POV of today's warfare these ships are sitting ducks

Me any time you ask me about "what if current year but BATTLESHIP"

@JeremiahDJohns the real american tragedeigh

Glad to see that the Manhattan Institute agrees the center-left is the fortress protecting our traditional American way of life while the American right descends into barbarous postmodernist Breyghlynn anarchy.

@mycoliza "nuh uh my dad is way safer than yours!"

the discourse about Fil-C is real fuckin stupid, but it’s also kinda comforting to me because it’s just good, old-fashioned language wars and not about AI at all

@constans conversely the unsavvy landlords that find themselves holding rent stabilized apartment buildings are also the ones that neglect to raise rents when they should and end up way under water

People who are smart and savvy will find themselves a rent stabilized apartment. They will then apply those smarts and savviness to their career and make money while realizing that the rent stabilized apartment is a great financial deal. Then they will become rich

@AlecStapp They stopped saying it because it's not true.

One important thing this article neglects to mention: Before building this high-speed rail project in Morocco, SNCF tried to work with California. But they found the state too politically dysfunctional, so they went to North Africa instead.

@notoriouskpg the jokes in TDKR were actually like the best part

in TENET Elizabeth Debicki tells The Protagonist about how Sator spent 9 million dollars on a vacation and his response is “Where’d you go, Mars?” and its very funny

@mattyglesias return to calling them "server farms"

Data center industry should consider investing heavily in advertising on podcasts that I host to try to turn this around.

@LinkofSunshine it would make the most annoying people the most upset so yeah

Oh god it’s really going to happen isn’t it

@chicagobars @TheSavBananas At my 3yo's birthday party a week ago everything was great until suddenly she started running to my wife, crying, screaming "I don't want the banana!" We were very confused but then looked up and yep a @TheSavBananas mascot was randomly running around.

The @TheSavBananas founder has 30,000 people cheering a little kid trying a banana. Pure showmanship. Total respect.

@JoshLipnik also the origin of scotch tape

I only learned about this stereotype because there was a grocery chain called Thrifty Scot

@TheLastNeocon also like 4' 10", which you want in a seat buddy

Easily 2. Not even a question. She’s so hot

@TheLastNeocon what is a good food to you?

most overrated foods, ranked 1. sandwiches—the very best sandwich i’ve ever had is the subway meatball marinara #sorry 2. any type of “deli meats” 3. pimento cheese 4. anything with onions

@agraybee le batman

Robert Pattinson should have used his French accent from The King. He should use that accent in every movie.

@LinkofSunshine America is great because even our Socialists want less government.

@LinkofSunshine Where in the 8th century were those 4 ingredients available in one place?

8th century eats (Rice and sardines with a ton of chili and sesame oil)

@yiningkarlli are there recordings or slides posted anywhere?

...and that's it for Disney Animation presentations at SIGGRAPH 2026. See you next year at SIGGRAPH 2027! (10/10)

@soupyluver Hate to be that guy but...(glances at calendar)

happy “ask claire a question” wednesday give me a question and i’ll answer, general or personal idc

@actsmaniac at the very least, rebalance welfare state spending towards kids and away from dying old people

How I would fix the US: - generally keep low-regulation and low-tax economic model (deregulate housing construction though) - modestly expand the social welfare state, especially healthcare access for the working population - ensure law and order in urban environments
