The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!
Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!
I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

We would have been able to capitalize on it, except Trump and the Republicans destroyed the IRA which was boosting our green manufacturing. So, instead, China is capitalizing and developing new markets while Trump has us paying a billion dollars to a French company NOT to build wind turbines. 2/2
People are not appreciating the immense strategic dilemma in which America now finds itself. To put it as concisely as possible, Iranian domination of the Strait is strategically untenable for the U.S. and the international system, but the cost of changing their new position is too high to bear.
Serious media: stop reporting whatever Trump says and start reporting on what is actually happening. I know it’s harder, but that’s your job.

@mb_ghalibaf Vibe-trading digital oil is like vibe-hedging in treasuries during Hormuz risk-off. Both share one house of cards that works on paper. Difference: oil at least has Dated Brent. Treasuries? Vibes all the way down. EUCRBRDT Index GP <GO> 5:04 PM • 4/19/26 • 3.7M Views
Speaker Ghalibaf of the Iran Parliament calls out hedging and trading based on “vibes.”
(Kind of a deep cut, tbh…)
I don't know if anyone has been as simultaneously bad at both bluffing and honest negotiations as Trump. He bluffs and no one who matters believes him, so he constantly loses leverage. He negotiates and then kills the other side halfway through, ensuring he gets nothing.
Last Friday I was assured the Strait was open and would never close again. I'd like to speak to a manager.
Millions of Americans are losing their health insurance as we skeet.
It's never happened before that a President eagerly threw millions off health insurance and the number could top 15 million.
It can't get enough coverage because... You know.
So @charlesgaba.com breaks down what we need to know.
This is part of a broader push the Trump admin began in term one (that Biden didn't roll back in any way). First each visa applicant had to disclose your social media handles. Now under Trump 2, the U.S. government demands that you make your social media accounts public so they can scan 'em.
Also if you believe AI is going to take both white collar and manual jobs then what is the point of education and reskilling? Reskilled as what exactly?
Imagine if this guy showed up at your front door and said, “I’m here to collect all of your personal information and while I’m doing that I’m going to clear up some misconceptions about the Nazis.”
genuinely stupid, middle management is a hard hard job, and the glue of companies. Any exec (or IC) who thinks this is a bullshit job is, charitably, not paying attention to how companies actually operate
Like George Carlin once said, "the planet ain't going anywhere... we are."
I’m confused…
Would bad acts include dropping charges against armed insurrectionists or people actively bribing a president through his crypto schemes?
I don’t remember previous DOJ doing that?
Orban and Fidesz are currently running their shredders hot.
Ripping off copper wires have been a major issue in Europe for years now.
Major issues for train signaling infrastructure.

In Jersey it doesn’t matter. You can wander into any diner on any Route across the entire state and you’ll get the exact same mirrored walls and etched glass dividers. Cake and pie counter. Bottomless coffee. Open 24 hours. You don’t even need to open a menu b/c you already know what’s on it.
Former President Barack Obama met with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani for the first time Saturday, joining preschoolers at a child care center for a book reading and singalong.

Children only willingly hug adults they feel safe around. What a precious scene.
Name a more iconic duo.

If the same issue comes up in Tech Support more than a handful of times, you have a design, not a support, issue. Often, devs don't fix the core problem, so the support people come up with a book of workarounds. That book is a design document. It's your job as a dev to make that book unnecessary.
I think everyone is taking the " weak on crime " meaning wrong.
It makes sense to me that a 34 times convicted felon would think the non felon pope is indeed weak at doing crimes…
Yet another sad reminder that there is a two-tiered justice system in America: One for the rich. Another for everyone else.
Seems bad
900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026
