Soup without a texture

Damn soup has no texture

Annual flu vaccine no longer required for U.S. military, Hegseth says The move alarmed some public health experts, who warned that it would weaken troop readiness.

NOT SO FUN FACT—half of all U.S. war casualties during WWI were due to influenza. Today—Trump’s War Secretary remove the flu vaccine requirement for all U.S. military. Plus, bragging about this to all enemies is just absolute idiocy. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Negative partisanship is a thing and I think ‘vote against red or innocent people will be dead’ would be more effective.

It’s now become The Trojan War

Javier Blas @JavierBlas X.com The world's top condom maker says it plans to raise prices by 20%-30% and possibly further due to the impact of the US-Iran war in the petrochemical industry.

This is excellent and it brings up something I am noticing, especially amongst Xennial men: AI overuse*. It's like they are half drunk and are mad I won't drink the magic Kool-aid. It's cooking their brains and they are clueless.

(*all AI use is bad, I am referring here to them using it nonstop)

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

a bear vacuuming a floor as a japanese salaryman looks on in terror

found out about the manga kuma gurashi which is like those ones where a manic pixie dream girl comes into a salaryman's life and starts doing all his domestic chores for him to heal his heart except in this one it's a realistically drawn bear and the salaryman is terrified on every single page

Anyway, I'm leading an LGBTQ+ and allies walk at the same event ( @biggestweekbirding.bsky.social), it's free and y'all should come if you're near NW Ohio

Living under authoritarianism is horrible, but I feel a certain grim satisfaction that every centrist who bought the idea that people on the left disapproving of things was a threat to free speech has been exposed as a total mark.

Mike Nellis @MikeNellis "I'M NO LONGER CATHOLIC!" Hannity ABANDONS HIS FAITH for Trump NELLIS X.com • +*+

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

Amazing that Apple's approach to anything even approaching consenting porn is "not on your life, you filthy pervert" and its approach to nonconsensual porn is, basically, "well, what can ya do"

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

‘Science needs defending’: record number of researchers run for office in US mid-terms Many Democrats making the switch to politics are motivated by the Trump administration’s cuts to science — whereas energy and AI are a pull for some Republicans.
