occasional conner o’malley field reporter guest spots

Huge turnout of 250+ people at a rally and march to demand Sound Transit build light rail to Ballard as promised in the voter-approved ST3 ballot measure.

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

I Don't Want To Talk About Herbert Hoover

Screenshot of a Wikipedia page snippet for George Mardikian under the World War II section. It Reads as follows: "n 1942, Mardikian was appointed as a food consultant to the Quartermaster General of the United States Army, a position that he would hold until 1954. GIs everywhere are grateful to Mardikian for improving the quality of their meals. The Reader's Digest has conferred the title "Champion of G.I. Chow. [10] Mardikian would receive presidential commendations for the drastic changes that he made to the United States military.[citation needed] In 1944, he published a cook book, Dinner at Omar Khayyam's, that was reprinted numerous times over the next two decades. " The quote is displayed next to a Presidential Medal of Freedom

Still frame from "Segata Sanshiro: A Final Greeting," featuring Hiroshi Fujioka's reflections on his role as Segata Sanshiro and a handful of personal comments afterwards. This is a segment from the latter. Fujioka turns to the camera, pointing at the viewer. "The twenty-first century is yours," he says.

The camera zooms in a bit, displaying a distinct smile on his face. He continues. "I want you to cross borders, oceans, and whatever other barriers you encounter.

"And seize a magnificent future," he says as he puts his hands up in a grabbing motion.

Pointing once again at the viewer, he smiles, determined: "I believe in you."

NASA's Artemis 2 pilot Victor Glover listens to 'Whitey on the Moon' every Monday. This is why. "It ain't about racism. It's about the human condition."

good and relevant piece abt glover's relationship to the song and disparity in america in particular that came out the day before artemis ii's launch (there's also a link to the axios article discussing the space symposium in 2023 but it is Unfortunately Paywalled)

Feels, fittingly and ironically, very Jack Kirby-esque but on a much larger scale

Santa Ynez California Hillside, 1969 by Eyvind Earle

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

It's good that being a rapist makes people abandon you. I just wish guzzling the money of a country committing genocide had a similar effect.

Welcome back to the Artemis II crew :) Such a huge relief watching them arrive safely!

not to mention blue origin still actually has to MAKE an LEO craft or provide ANY sort of proof of work in a mission. the idea they’re gonna do this shit in the next year, with the budget they’re threatening to slash NASA with too? laughable, unfortunately. hold onto the joy u got from Artemis II rn

Next Up For the Artemis Moon Mission Program? NASA Doesn’t Quite Know NASA is preparing for the first crewed Artemis lunar landing in 2028, but its plan is uncertain.

if it’s any assurance or cold comfort rn from what I’ve read, it’s looking extremely unlikely to happen in 2027 or any time soon since spaceX has flubbed so hard/can’t deliver on a Recently Functioning Craft for what they want to do. they’re a big reason why lunar landing was moved to Artemis IV

Screenshot of a PC Gamer article whose headline reads, "Photos and Snipping Tool are the first Windows apps to remove Copilot branding".

Screenshot of a PC Gamer article whose full headline reads, "Microsoft is removing Copilot branding from Photos, Notepad, and more after promising to reduce, quote, 'unnecessary Copilot entry points'"

hahahaha yessss the Great Wind-Down begins. lol

fwiw, I'm pretty sure "Remove unnecessary entry points" is PR spin for "it's super expensive for people to hit our LLM, & giving it out for free til now has been predicated on the creation of dozens more data centers, none of which are being built"

Louder for the people in the back.

If you needed another reason to donate to organizations serving people in need, we're making it even easier! Truly so glad to have so many members doing what they can to support this initiative.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.

I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass.

Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner.

to all who celebrate...

?????????¿¿¿???¿???? that’s fucked I’m so sorry you have to deal with someone like that

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.
