I mean honestly the Venetian isn’t that different than the real thing. I know this is a bad take but I’m right.
I find it so weird that the predominant reaction to Trump being confused by/not knowing the word "groceries" or phrase "corner store" is to say that Trump is an out of touch rich guy who's never been shopping
this even from critics, rather than questioning if he's losing words
Anyone who thinks Israel manipulated the US into a war the US didn't want is simply very stupid.
this story is useful but also fucking ridiculous. i am genuinely tempted to write a post defending trump against these people. he was very clear about who he was and what he was going to do. they were told ad nauseam. they didn't listen. they *refused* to listen. and now they wanna claim victimhood.
As a former Kennedy Center stagehand, something that I remain incredibly honored and proud of, this article makes me so profoundly sad.
but instead of bsky posts its private dms, texts, and phone calls.
i don’t actually know what’s going on with these classified letters. i’m just spitballing. but i would bet my right eye it’s AI related & these are known issues.
nonzero chance the FBI is plugging LLMs into wiretap data under the legal theory AI alone can’t implicate 4th amendment concerns (semi-known 702 issue). or the NSA has now hard coded wiretaps across all newly built US data centers due to expanded ECSP scope. or probably both.
A change like that is a pretty strong indicator it’s not genuine.
Growing increasingly convinced that NewsEye account is an IRGC front based on what I’ve seen break through from them.
If this place is this borked the day It Happens we'll all be so mad
i am obviously a little biased here but if there is one brand of Democratic politics that should be nationalized it might be VA
i think there's something special about the combo of proximity to both federal politics and the South that gives VA Dems a better grasp on the stakes
Just absolutely horrific.
Krastev called Orban the right-wing Castro, which I think is exactly right: the leader of a small relatively insignificant country, that nevertheless became the ideological lodestar for a global movement after being propped up by russia
not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer
"Oh don't be silly honey, that's for the shiva?"
So the new Cloudflare Mesh is just their version of Tailscale, right?
My Allbirds shoes telling me to kill myself
Dammit it’s already happening
Today is a good day for this reminder...
I stopped wearing Allbirds when I wiped out on 19th Street walking to my office in some light rain because those things had no tread. Anyways, I'm sure they'll bring the same product rigor and design chops into AI Compute.
It is really disturbing to me to see people who would never, ever accept the idea that it was the Taliban or Al Qaeda or ISIS’s fault that people were Islamophobic feel totally fine blaming Israel for rising antisemitism
The Salt Typhoon hack ended the debate on safe lawful access. State-sponsored attackers didn't just breach networks; they explicitly targeted mandated wiretap systems. Backdoors don't just weaken security; they become the ultimate prize for advanced adversaries. 1/2
It must be fun to be someone who designs lamps for hotel rooms. You get to spend all of your creative energy putting the on/off switches in locations that no one ever dreamed of
you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of
most insane payment structure i've ever seen. the app is mean to you unless you pay them.
I have bad news about the wallet inspector.
As someone who got an unwanted education in the process of dying in America, I hereby give you permission to make excellent hospice jokes. Hospice is horrible; anything that can help lighten the load is welcome.
We come to this hospice to laugh, to cry, to care.
