When I worked at the Vet Med Teaching Hospital at Texas A&M we were literally not allowed to work there without a tetanus vaccine and rabies prophy vaccine series. No exemptions. Because creatures in pain BITE. And those bites can give you diseases that will KILL OR DISABLE YOU.
Reskilling to FUCKING WHAT DAN
Social media and group chats have microwaved the brains of the ruling and media class. They set that shit to POPCORN and let it go until it smelled like burning.
saying that charlie brown had "hoes" is like saying that temple of aphrodite at corinth had "hoes". what was happening there was within its own cultural context, and we should be careful about describing it in modern language
JUST IN: FBI Dir Kash Patel loses libel suit he filed against former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi for saying Patel "reportedly" has been "visible at nightclubs far more" than at FBI HQ. Judge George Hanks (Obama/TXSD) says it was "rhetorical hyperbole." Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.
we have no money for real journalism, but we somehow have endless funding for little billionaire-backed infotainment projects designed to make the extraction class feel good about themselves and their boundless innovation
"This was the original vision for CNN by the way. They called it “Randemonium”. The idea was, whatever the Current Thing happening in the world, put it on CNN full time, cover it from every possible angle, and keep it running until a more important Current Thing comes along. The CNN model has to wait for something to happen IRL. But something is always happening on X. And of course, X is — and has always been, the real world. Or at the very least, it’s the place where the people who run the real world make sense of what’s happening.

Andreessen horowitz's a16z is backing a new media company that "will be monitoring the situation across technology, business, politics, and culture, interviewing the main characters of the moment all day long on X."
What if Nai survived but didn't want to face Vash, so he laid low for awhile, until he was ready to see his brother again.
And then Vash left the planet to explore space with the humans.
Leaving Nai alone again.
And Nai didn't know why Vash was no longer there.

Meta will begin keystroke logging US employees at work -- complete with mouse movements and periodic screenshots -- to train better AI agents.
This comes after Boz posted about a future in which AI will "primarily do the work" at meta.
It's a new era for tech labor. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...
There's a reason why Meta's employee keylogging plans are only being deployed in the US -- per experts we spoke to, this sort of monitoring would be illegal in much of Europe, where such monitoring is a violation of worker privacy.
In the US, most states don't even require notice of surveillance.
This is so monumentally fucked up on every level I feel sick to my stomach.
This is why Vought didn't want to tell Congress how much the war is costing us last week. We're going bomb broke.

Like, this is the story:
USA makes vague maximalist and inflexible demands absent a diplomatic framework of agreement on terms and conditions.
Iran rightly rejects this.
And the media story is that talks have fallen apart or Iran refused.
No.
The USA is making demands not negotiations.
Trump suggests he’ll resume bombing Iran after ceasefire ends…
…and also isn’t doing what he was doing 2 weeks ago in terms of posting about destroying water plants & ending entire civilizations.
This is better (assuming of course he doesn’t just do it) and also late to the game.
13.45 EDT JD Vance's trip to Islamabad on hold after Iran failed to meet terms - report The New York Times is reporting that vice-president JD Vance's trip to Islamabad has been halted after Tehran failed to respond to American negotiating positions. A US official told the news outlet that Vance's trip, which was expected to start on Tuesday, was placed on hold after Iran failed to meet US terms. The visit could resume if Iran meets these terms, but the White House is waiting for a signal that Iran's negotiators are willing to sign a deal. & Share
These aren’t negotiations these are USA presentations of demands (& poorly worded, under-elaborated maximalist demands at that):
“The visit could resume if Iran meets these terms, but the White House is waiting for a signal that Iran's negotiators are willing to sign a deal”
