"I felt the differences that came from investing in strength training before I really understood them. […] I hadn't realized how much I had been struggling, but more importantly, I hadn't realized that the path of not struggling had always hovered so close by." www.hachettebookgroup.com/tit...
"I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to 'kiss my ass.' ... That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship."
This is forever Tim Cook's legacy -- lauded for kissing Trump's ass.
Tim Cook’s legacy is cooked.
Put another way, I think the Jewishness of the army and the state is basically incidental. This is simply what happens when you have a racial supremacist state and a racial supremacist army and a racial supremacist law. The soldiers, regardless of the particulars, will act as if they are supreme.
"We are making it structurally difficult for even the most climate-conscious travellers to choose the greener option." www.theguardian.com/environme...
A dark picture of a night sky with a thin bright crescent moon shining like a smile
The thin crescent moon in context with some trees in the foreground and a dark blue sky. It’s too fuzzy to make out that it’s a thin crescent
A very very faint thin arc of white in a blue morning sky
Tiny sliver crescent Moon, last night and this morning
Thanks! Entirely lucky; this was the view from my room in the place I was staying at on the island of Texel in The Netherlands yesterday evening.
Blue to warm orange sky just after sunset showing a tiny sliver crescent Moon above some thin clouds with a tree and some shrubbery in the foreground.
Was a nice one, wasn’t is?

Did I show off my bike yet?
Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant
you’re not alone
Jesus christ fucking hell I hate it when the goddamn pope seems to be the only sane person in a position of at least some power.
Jon Bois @jonbois.bsky.social holy shit. i was just watching the cavs-raptors game and the ball fell out of the bottom of the basket. it was with 4:04 left in the second quarter if you can get your hands on a replay. the guy shot the ball, it went through the hoop, and then it straight up fell out of the net and onto the floor 2:11 PM • Apr 18, 2026 Everybody can reply v 57 reposts 6 quotes 6 quotes 814 likes 4 saves
i'm deleting this post. since posting it i watched some more basketball and it turns out this is pretty much always what happens
I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company. I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish. But after this... anyone still working there...
Excellent track. Sincerely hope there's more like this on her upcoming album. youtu.be/4qNfV9hHpag
"Many families of descendants of slave traders don't dare speak out for fear of reopening old wounds and anger. Pierre's apology is a courageous act." www.theguardian.com/world/202...
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
"Saudi Aramco, Shell and TotalEnergies declined to comment and ExxonMobil, Chevron, Gazprom, Petrobras and ADNOC did not respond to requests for comment." www.theguardian.com/environme...
"This is an important and very concerning result. It shows that the 'pessimistic' models, which show a strong weakening of the Amoc by 2100, are, unfortunately, the realistic ones, in that they agree better with observational data." www.theguardian.com/environme...
A screenshot of a Hollywood Reporter politics news article. The headline reads, "Dave Chappelle Knocks Republican Party for “Weaponized” Transgender Jokes: “That’s Not What I Was Doing”" The subheadline states, "After being called out for transphobic jokes, the superstar comedian told NPR that Lauren Boebert and other Republicans are politicizing his humor." Below the text is a photo of Chappelle in a black tuxedo speaking at a podium, with a caption noting he is accepting the President's Award at the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.
No, that's exactly what Chappelle was doing and it's why trans people criticized him for doing it.
Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.
It’s not just selfish -it’s a complete breach of the Budapest Memorandum in 1994 when the US and others encouraged Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for these countries guaranteeing Ukraine’s borders.
The US is duty-bound to assist in Ukraine’s defence or its promises mean nothing.
Wait lemme plug in the Amiga and lemme find the disk that animation is on…
Have Zionists ever explained why anti-Zionists have an absolute obligation to police the speech and actions of every person in the movement while they have no responsibility at all for stuff like this?
"Excuse me, why can't I express a political view? Everything that is being done is political. The way human rights are not respected is political. But we are used to thinking in silos, so I need to stay in my silo?" www.theguardian.com/law/2026/...
Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke
