we all know I have no life, so:

It’s also worth reading all 22 bullet points and asking yourself “would any of these be out of place in Mussolini’s Italy?”

I’m not saying Alex Karp is a fascist. I’m just saying he’s giving voice to a business-model-with-a-political-philosophy that just so happens to fit comfortably into fascism.

Prego Pivots From Budget-Tier Pasta Sauce to Small Microphones That Listen to Your Family's Intimate Conversations Prego, the pasta sauce brand, announced a new lid-shaped device designed to record and preserve family dinner conversations.

Every day I read a news story that makes me feel like I need to apologize to at least one insane person in a John 3:16 van and today it’s this one

A satellite view of Manitoulin Island showing its irregular shoreline surrounded by deep blue water. The island contains a mix of forested areas, lighter patches of farmland, and several inland lakes of varying sizes. Smaller islands are scattered around the coastline, and a narrow channel separates the island from the mainland at the top of the image. A compass rose and scale bar are visible in the lower left corner.

The largest lake island on Earth is Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron, Ontario. It is 2,766 sq-km and it is large enough that it has 100 lakes on it, many of which also have islands.
The name comes from the Ojibwe word Manidoowaaling, which means "cave of the spirit"

A collage of eight landscape images arranged in a grid. The images include Mount Logan with snow-covered peaks, Great Slave Lake with open water and a distant treeline, the winding Mackenzie River seen from above, and a glacier flowing to a coastal cliff on Baffin Island. Another image shows a satellite view of Manitoulin Island with surrounding water and inland lakes. There is also a snowy scene at Upper Dumbell Lake with exposed rock layers, a shoreline view of Great Bear Lake with clear water and storm clouds, and a highway scene at Highwood Pass with a roadside elevation sign and mountain backdrop.

Canada has an varied and beautiful landscape. No matter where you go, you will see something amazing.
But what is the tallest mountain, deepest lake, largest island, highest paved road, and more?
This is a list of those geographic record-breakers!

Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.

The Timberwolf is my all time favorite 'mech going way back to the mid 1990s.

It's aesthetically perfect and the chassis is highly optimized. The Prime is far from perfect, but the LRM20s give it some dangerous burst damage. The A config is a deadly Warhammer clone.

2016–2017 South Korean protests - Wikipedia

I keep repeating that we need mass sustained peaceful protests in DC, following Korea's model.

But America doesn't do anything that's hard or takes sustained effort. We are lazy people.

So we go out every few months for No Kings Day and pat ourselves on the backs.

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.

​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.

"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.

They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.

That energy is all around us.

And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Orban conceded because he lost by the margin of "try any funny business and you'll get shot."

The lesson needs to be imparted here.
