@dccommonsense perhaps we would. instead of trying to attack the goliath directly. who will the non-belligerent countries blame when they start getting destabilized?

@hotcspan The way to look at it is to imagine that our roles were reversed and then try to see if you can determine how we would act in Iran's situation. Would we use our geographic positioning as a weapon against a technologically overwhelmingly superior opponent?

This is a really good analysis.

@pmpoc Richard Perle?

I can’t believe that a man known as “the prince of darkness” from the early 1990s onwards has turned out to be a venal, self serving scumbag, intimately connected to an international ring of sex traffickers and paedophiles - it’s always the ones you least expect …

@ggreenwald it's weird to think of mr rogers as political. but there he was commentating like a guru.

Here's the trailer for the film, in case anyone besides Meghan McCain actually thinks that Mr. Rogers -- unlike Ms. Rachel -- was apolitical. He was at least as political as she is. I'd say for more so. This film is exceptionally good:

LOL. Holy shit. Mr. Rogers was extremely political -- subversively and radically so. There's a great, widely watched documentary on Mr. Rogers that focuses on precisely this fact. What this tweet claims is the completely opposite of reality. Watch "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"

@AlexaGagosz @BostonGlobe the shit i'm seeing on social media is enough to make me question whether the first amendment can survive.

As a @BostonGlobe reporter covering the shooting at Brown University, I’m seeing so much misinformation, and photos of individuals that people think is the person of interest. Authorities have NOT yet confirmed anyone’s ID on the record. Be smart + think twice before reposting.

@pr0650 the video has the time and the address. if you live in the area you know waterman is a one way. thanks for your help tho sleuth.

@ProvidenceRIPD *Time of day ~ Location ~ Direction of travel* @ProvidenceRIPD would be helpful

We are sharing a video of a person of interest and plan to release additional video as part of the ongoing investigation. If you recognize this individual, please contact our Tip Center online at fbi.gov/brownuniversit… or call 401-272-3121

@markbland he knows jd doesn't have what it takes to win.

I was not looking forward to this afternoon until this cherry popped up! Trump trashing VANCE to a room full of "conservative" outlets LAUGHING when he calls JD "incompetent" multiple times! Obviously Trump is losing it worse than Biden ever did and now Vance is a moron.

@helpus_lord @BowesChay trolls don't provide sources.

In the USA, a factory producing shells for Ukraine exploded after receiving a large order. The explosives factory that exploded in the USA had received a large order worth 120 million dollars the day before. According to a Pentagon statement, the contract was announced on September 23. The explosives were intended for the production of 155 mm shells. As a result of the powerful explosion, the military factory was completely destroyed 19 people are sadly presumed dead.

@OMApproach i'm not comfortable with the edits here. can you link the source video?

In 2022, the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies announced that they would fund research to determine whether humanity is facing an extinction-level event. They never followed up with an official answer, but the billionaire and owner of the institute, Robert Bigelow, revealed the answer in a 2024 interview This is a gigantic problem, it's going to happen, and there's nothing we can do about it!" The 'elite' will have more information than the average person on the street. Things are really going to get bad, so how do you prepare for any of that? The best part is when he says, 'People will not believe it anyway.' And he’s right, people always choose to ignore the hard truth. But not the 'elites'; they’ve been preparing since the early 2000s.

@elonmusk they fixed it. and still not one actual article about it.

No one commits narrative crimes like NY Times. They are the best.

@unusual_whales Yet, the Fed paid just over $3T to renovate their building.

Two Denver office towers recently sold for $3.2 million, or ~$3 per square feet, per Triple Net Investor. They were valued at ~$200M in 2019, per BisNow

@BillBartholomew the scrapyard was on fire tonight... as usual

@nfergus translating "carajo" as "dammit" doesn't really get the job done.

"With his leather jacket and late ’60s mop top, @JMilei is part–rock star, part–mad professor, dancing, singing, and screaming his catch phrase: ¡Viva la libertad, carajo!—'Long live liberty, damn it!' It’s as if Joe Cocker had gone onstage at Woodstock and sung 'I'll Get By with a Little Help from My Friedman.' Never in the history of democracy has a tribune of the people won power this way." 4/5

"These are astonishing feats. And they have ramifications that go far beyond South America. Free-market economics and political libertarianism are sometimes dismissed as a fad of the 'neoliberal' 1980s, long ago superseded by the new populisms of the left and the right. Not so. The world has never seen a government more radically libertarian than @JMilei. But the amazing thing is not that it is working economically. The true miracle is that Milei’s shock therapy is working politically." 3/5

@parakeetnebula @DefiantLs in good faith you may consider the delight people have a sign that they are disgusted by this behavior, which is objectively bad.

@DefiantLs You guys don’t know their lives and this all feels weird and cruel. These are actual people. Why do you want to ruin their lives? This looks like a really romantic moment and it makes me sad people have turned it into such a nightmare.

Oh boy, TMZ just added more fuel to the fire

@grinich @SlackHQ @Benioff Enshittification. @spotify did something similar last november when they locked devs out of the more useful parts of their API without warning. the parts that they got from EchoNest, which was a publicly funded project out of MIT media lab.

The new @SlackHQ API rate limits are absolutely insane: For accessing messages, you can now only make 1 request per minute, with a maximum of 15 messages 🤯 And yes this applies to ALL apps, not just public ones. We can't build internal tools on our OWN data. @Benioff this is wrong and hostile to your customers. Please reverse this immediately. If you are worried about abuse, just limit APIs for public apps. Companies must always have unlimited access to their own data in your products.

@OTDRhodeIsland @grok what are the boundaries of the Narragansett Indian reservation?

#OTD July 11, 1882, RI held a sale of lands of the Narragansett Nation. The sale was part of the State's (failed) attempt to detribalize & abolish the sovereign authority of the Narragansett people. All but 2 acres of land were sold. Today, the reservation is over 1.8k acres.

@PVDMayor smiley hates food ;)

Last night I dined at Gift Horse to celebrate Chef Sky Haneul Kim’s incredible win as Best Chef: Northeast at the 2025 James Beard Awards. Providence’s culinary scene keeps raising the bar! Congratulations, Chef Kim!

@unusual_whales heh, wonder where it got that from

The scenario was constructed to leave the model with only two real options: accept being replaced and go offline or attempt blackmail to preserve its existence. Read more: unusualwhales.com/news/anthropic…
