@pptamburelli @MarkAmesExiled @ElectricSockets People have been saying about Putin since the Ukraine war started and I’m still confident it will never happen
English
@MarkAmesExiled @ElectricSockets the problem with this is that at a certain point they will be tempted to get out of their own ridicule by using nukes

My sources tell me the Pentagon is preparing plans for a GINORMOUS REALLY FINAL final blow to Iran, which will follow the "massive final blow" to Iran, which follows the "gloves off" warrior-mode blow, which followed Hegseth's "just getting started" mode

@andreas_krieg @Simon_Nixon You are an associate professor at King’s College and yet somehow don’t seem to understand what a theocracy is (or isn’t)? You debase yourself and the institution that pays your salary.

I am not sure which of the three theocracies in this war is more fundamentalist
Michael Tracey@mtracey
Pete Hegseth, at today's Christian Prayer & Worship Service at the Pentagon, prays for Almighty God to "pour out your wrath" and "break the teeth of the ungodly." He begs the Almighty to sanction "overwhelming violence" against "those who deserve no mercy"

@andreas_krieg Pretty nuts we have a three way Abrahamic war in 2026
English
@0xBalloonLover No? It comes from the clear incentivizing of insider trading that has differs from sports gambling, where you bet against the house and are subject to regulatory oversight
English
the backlash against polymarket and kalshi comes from their virtue signaling about building truth-seeking products, while refusing to confront the fact that their core business is sports betting
draftkings doesn't pretend to be saving the world
Sam McQuillan@sam_mcquill
Kalshi indeed saw $3.3B in trading volume for the week of March 15–21, a new platform high. 86% of that was sports betting. Parlays also = 20% of sports volume for the first time in a single week

@JoestarJokic They must already have a real bid in mind, there’s someone very rich behind the scenes pushing for this

NBA hitching itself to the dying empire of las vegas is so funny
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Breaking: The NBA's Board of Governors has approved a vote for the league to explore bids and applicants for expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, sources tell ESPN. A bidding process is expected to generate offers in the $7-10 billion range for each team.

@maxdubler Parking reform are also necessary, the state is way too dense to build as much parking as it does, even near transit

Lot size reform is probably the single most important zoning reform issue for New England.
Jonathan Berk@berkie1
Large-lot single-family zoning is a key driver of Massachusetts’ housing shortage. In Brookline, surrounded by Boston on three sides, 30% of the town requires 40,000sf+ min lot sizes just to build one home. We didn’t run out of land. We made it illegal to use it efficiently.

@jimwad3 @FlaPanthers Did you read the first post in the thread? “Working together towards panther conservation”?
English
@FlaPanthers Can we focus on the 180 panther number. Seems to be more important than anything else you are posting.

Working towards Panther conservation together with @ZooMiami! 🐆🤝

@RazzberryYams @nikicaga I did a project in middle school where I had to calculate what percent of our water went to food waste and ethanol production, definitely radicalized me a lot on our water use
English
@nikicaga Also, over 30% of food is waste. It's not like there's not a woke angle to go after the level of food production, but people just don't go for it

People have no sense of scale here
One burger is equivalent to ~125 000 text LLM prompts!
Tride@TriDeapthBear
I like the "agriculture uses way more water than ai" argument because it implies that asking grok to put someone in a bikini is just as important as literally eating food
English
@Kosmo_Ken @FalconryFinance I think it’s cause the manufacturer doesn’t want free versions of the product they are still selling out on the street. There just has to be another way than destroying them all
English
@FalconryFinance this is what they do at big box retail stores that sell cheap furniture. even for just missing dowels or scratches - it gets destroyed and tossed because it’s not worth shipping back. so wasteful.
English
Americans will kill the buffalo, slash the water reservoir in the desert, they will destroy anything they do not control, just to deprive the world of its own abundance
