The dumbest timeline. Politico posts a piece about how relieved Republicans are that the president has finally figured out how to end the Iran War ... two minutes AFTER the Guardian reports that the Revolutionary Guard attacked a tanker in the Strait.

The iOS feature to free up disk space by offloading apps is so weird. I have an iPad that I only do a few specific things on, but has a ton of apps I've tried only once. So... what does it remove from my device to reclaim some of that precious 64 GB?

Libby and Expo Go

🤦

🥳 We raised some money.

Expo is the best it's ever been, and this round of funding will help us get a lot better.

With this money we can go faster on the things that matter: faster builds, smoother native integrations, and better e-2-e DX.

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Simply put, I was not prepared for anything that I just saw with my very bare eyeballs and I think that I am, perhaps, entirely and very much flabbergasted.

Good day to bring new life to an old design with Expo UI

Security goes harder at the Wolstein Center for a high school robotic's competition than TSA or most government buildings. All so they can sell you an incredibly limited array of subpar concessions. This is why I avoid this place otherwise. Sorry, CSU basketball.

Tile sign in Union Square station was missing the last tile for months with the last letters written in black marker on bare wall; somebody added PANTS so the stop is now Union Squarepants. You kind of had to be there tbh

They finally fixed that sign at Union Square

"Monsters' Ink" would be a great name for a tattoo parlor.

We've reached the Nazi part of Trump's speech: "The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where corruption and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration ... "

Having a mayor of a town named "Wesley Dingus" who is caught performing lewd acts seems pretty on-brand for Ohio.

Ari Drennen @AriDrennen Follow The high trust neighborhoods that MAGA yearns for exist all over America, and they're all like D+40 nxthompson A @nxthompson •22h An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

This is so spot on

It's kind of silly that you can fail a unit test to get ahead in Duolingo just based on forgetting a noun here or there. These are "como se dice" questions, stuff you'd just ask if you forgot it in common conversation, so shamelessly googling during these, at least for some things

First time using LinkedIn recruiter stuff, I didn't know it appended my profile title (which is quite silly) to each message...so embarrassing! I guess at least people know I'm not really into maintaining a particularly professional appearance.

And.... This is why we go to Grocery Outlet

The right way to get into the Epstein files.

I'm getting a captcha error in the console when trying to login, so can't comment, but there's some confusion in the thread and I think it would have been worth noting in the article that many Marketplace plans have OOPM's that exceed the max for an IRS HDHP, and thus aren't eligible for an HSA.

Oh my god imagine if you were a sixth grader who domed Epstein in Call of Duty and he just starts screaming about how he’s going to have Mossad wipe out your entire family

Workin' on getting Civilization 2 up and running again. Tough choice!
