Do the attack subs have SLCMs with nuclear warheads? It seems like a really good "boomer-Lite" while screwing up missile defense?

Just because Quetzalcoatlus northropi may not qualify being a pterosaur and not a "dinosaur" it doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good favorite...

(although I AM partial to the Murder Chicken, err T-Rex)

there are very, VERY few women in games journalism largely because the industry at large has demonstrated that if you get harassed and abused by readers, they will not protect you

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

Tweet from Elon Musk: "*Soros Organization has taken over Hungary"

Antisemitism is structurally necessary for Elon Musk's politics, because he wants to brand himself as the insurgent populist fighting the elite, but as the world's wealthiest person, he needs a definition of "elite" that is not strictly rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Too many people practically worship a writer who continues to compare this era of reproductive control to the fictional Handmaid's Tale, rather than to the very real US history of forced reproduction under chattel slavery and forced eugenic sterilization. It's just social media bait at this point

This is why Susan and I started a business together lol

Who actually has better attendance, the As or the Rivercats?

The Just War Tradition of Christianity, or as it's commonly known to its advocates and practitioners, Jihad.

Personal queer me: when you got an outpost in the *checks notes* Castro, you got no business taking down your Pride flags. Apparently Philz Coffee thinks making us invisible is more “inclusive.” Bet that goes well for them.

I think Trump's laying on hands as a Doctor did it...

Mike Johnson comes from the Southern Baptists, famously informed and sympathetic to the teachings of Catholicism.

Anyway, I'm just glad he's been cured of whatever medical condition he has that makes him blind to breaking news.

At this point I've concluded the only solution is some level of strict liability: There are certain classes of vulnerabilities that, if they exit today, you are liable. Other classes where if they are written today, you are liable. Otherwise what's the point?

I feel like I’ve fallen out of love with cybersecurity.

It used to be, to me, about protecting people. Now it’s just become an endless grind of people trying to protect budgets through GenAI fear. So much of cybersecurity now is just total nonsense.

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.

Critically, a lot of non-lawyers don't get why trademark holders pretty much go to DEFCON 1 over things like this. Nobody wants to be the next Asprin.

Don't forget, Peugeot makes pepper mills.

And I think Yamaha started with musical instruments, given the tuning fork logo on their motorcycles.

This is also why trademark law forces trademark holders to be aggressive: there is a "use it or lose it" when it comes to enforcing shit like this. Ralph Lauren can't let this stand unless they want to risk their underlying IPs.

My eldest picked her college last week and I’m thrilled at her choice (I think Cornell College and one course at a time is genius and it made me who I am as a thinker and writer and activist). BUT I’m not very happy about how we decided and I want to share some higher ed segregation thoughts (1/x?)

I think it IS necessary for spam: the amount of AI slop that gets shoved out when it is "free" to do so and you get a share of the profits is so much more than the amount you push out when it costs $12 an account as a cost-of-entry.

... which means that the recent U.S. government decision to block satellite companies from publicly sharing images was meant to censor journalists — and likely hide its losses.

yes - this is a dangerous feeling for the majority to be stuck with all the time

This is also why people are so loyal to Costco. If you buy something there, and it sucks, you can just return it. The store’s brand identity is entirely in the idea that it’s not trying to screw you over.

Sorry everyone, my wife asked me to delete the thread because it got too big. I'll let you know the next steps we take, if any. Fuck Target, Fuck Self Checkout, and Fuck AI though. We're exploring options with the lawyer.

there was the commissioning and then canceling of that Pride collection by queer and trans artists, then there was the DEI rollback, now it’s AI-driven false arrests. Target is setting land-speed records for torching customer goodwill, given how high their popularity and how far they had to fall

So do I, oh boy do I.

My bet is the instrumentation is basically a seismograph and camera, that the "test" if it happens won't be a real test that collects data but the big-boom-for-baby, because he won't be able to wait 3 years.

Is it even really "testing" when the intent is just a big boom to impress the big baby?

steyer had been consolidating endorsements as fears of an R-v-R runoff cemented and carpeting the state with ads in the last couple of weeks, with much less noise coming out of any other campaign, and notably very little out of porter. i'd guess most of swalwell's remaining 9% here goes to him, too
