"The tech industry may suffer in the long run, but several venture capitalists will make extraordinary short-term returns. In the meantime, a generation of scientists risks getting left behind."
Capitalism, rinse and repeat.
Didn't Iran take out two A10 Warthogs with their completely decimated missiles
What do you mean, the job of FBI director is not hogging TV time and making money??
The next time any of these "news" corporations complain about a Democratic administration, they should be laughed out of the room.
I'd love it if the first press credentials to the DNC and the next Democratic WH are sent to The Onion and ProPublica.
good, but public power + electrified mass transit even better

I've had the good fortune to interact with Sherrod Brown a couple times and he is The Real Deal as far as I'm concerned.
So glad he's in this race and hopeful he can make it back to the Senate.
They may well be Democrats like Joe Manchin was.
I don't know who these two people are or whether they are even Democrats. They seem to have a problem with M4A and calling the genocide in Gaza what it is, and don't think twice about the billions we spend supporting Netanyahu's attacks on his neighboring countries.
For fuck's sake, sign up for The Onion, and get a free limited edition IW tote.
A share of merch sales will go to the Sandy Hook families, which will be the first time they get any money since they filed this lawsuit eight years ago.
Legal fees have been insane. Please sign up and help us out!

Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court finds that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution, and a ban on public funding for abortion is unconstitutional.
New: We found out how much money Nick Fuentes makes from "superchats": $900,000 since the start of Trump's second term. Here's the story of Kristine in Ohio, a food-truck operator who became his most frequent donor, despite not making much money herself: wapo.st/4mERkhv
No no, calling that out is mean.
Just like calling out someone's racism is mean, not the original racism itself.
"Some of the criticism Wilkins has faced is that each time her name makes it into the headlines, her music gets an unfair boost, with Rolling Stone saying this activity has resulted in a 48% increase in her streams... A 48% increase from virtually nothing is not really an eye-popping stat."
The Ellisons trying to take over all of Hollywood makes me wonder - have they ever watched a movie?
Watching Godzilla vs Kong and realized I can't remember a single movie where Mega Corp was the good guy.
Recall the Supreme Court held there was a constitutional right to stand on a public sidewalk and scream homophobic rants at a soldier's funeral as long as you're a bunch of right-wing religious freaks, but apparently it's a crime to stand on a public sidewalk and smirk while Black.
I stopped drinking chai but even back in the day, chai "latte" was terribly Americanized.
(Anyway, off to drink some black coffee without sugar.)
"Ms. Ross-Mahé, age 86, was greeted at the airport by her three adult children. She was still dressed in her prison wear — orange shoes, sweatpants and a gray sweater — covered in stains and holes...

So on Friday, when there were headlines, and chyrons, and world leaders other than Trump saying "the Strait is open," it was not, in fact, open, and is even more closed now. Clearly both sides want a deal, but to get there the US is going to have to give up its maximalist demands.

ICE says 81% arrested in Operation Midway Blitz had no convictions, falsely asserts no citizens arrested
Todd Lyon claimed in the letter to the Illinois congressional delegation that no U.S. citizens were arrested by #immigration officers during Operation Midway Blitz — despite documented reports.
33% of Americans approve of genocidal threats.
What’s interesting here is they say “culture” when they mean “people” but they think that this maintains a veneer of deniability about what they’re really saying. In any case it’s true that the “culture” of the tech billionaires is morally and intellectually depraved rot bsky.app/profile/elio...
Finally landed at BLR and got my bag promptly. No option for an electric Uber, but there was an electric Uber Black.
MG and other Chinese manufacturers are making the electric revolution happen.
Ooof
Yikes. Thankfully, I had to clear customs in BOM, so I had to grab my checked bag anyway, and re-check it. So it *should* be on my flight 🤞🏾
Thanks 🤞🏾
