Two years as a Senator and he got elected through the financial backing Paypal Mafia money so he got his Senate seat on easy mode.

Shawn Micallef: Artemis II rekindled our interest in space — which makes the loss of this Toronto landmark hit that much harder Artemis II returns to Earth even as crews demolish the McLaughlin Planetarium, the symbol of a bygone era of enthusiasm for space exploration.

In @thestar.com today I wrote about the dreamy rekindling of space travel coinciding w Toronto’s terrestrial tear down of a communal place to share the Dark Side of the Moon.

Washington state Supreme Court removes judge for faking document to get cheap parking - The Daily Chronicle The Washington Supreme Court weighed in on a judge's forging of a document to secure cheaper parking, deciding on Thursday to remove him from the bench. David Ruzumna was working as a pro tem, …

Truly, parking deranges.

"If you were in charge of Star Trek what would you do?"

Mirror Trek: In the Grim Darkness of the Mirror Future There is Only Star War.

Get all the writers and producers who need that kind of Star Trek into this project and let them do their thing and get it out of their system.

Hi, Maine? WTF? Also, how long are we going to keep hearing about this guy? Like, is he going to be in the running right to the primary in June? Because his candidacy should've been over a while back.

New Evidence Further Implicates U.S. Missiles in Strikes That Killed 21 Civilians in Iran

The Pentagon suggested Iran was responsible. But new evidence further shows tit were U.S. PrSMs (which blast thousands of tungsten pellets outwards) that killed 21 civilians in Lamerd, Iran, including a toddler and several children. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/w...

Programmers already historically used the term "daemons" to describe what they now generally call "agents" so I don't think fae will dissuade them.

We've basically invited the Fae into our world and are trying to make them our slaves, but it's costing a tremendous amount because magic doesn't come from nowhere and the Fae always have a price.

I think I'm coming to view LLMs as essentially being the Fae.
The Fae are usually seen as not having souls, and therefore not having consciousness in a way we can recognize;
they don't understand the difference between lies and truth, kindness and cruelty;

The Mask was a really good movie.

Protestors: The government refuses to acknowledge our concerns

Me: Holy shit! So they're not meeting with Farmers & Hauliers?

Protestor: LOL no. They are

Me: So...they're not discussing fuel subsidies?

Protestor: Haha no they are

Me: Which concerns, exactly?

Protestor: Oh, you know the ones

Alex says "well, economy's fucked. Time to start camming." She asks herself "what's my niche?" She gets an idea. She has set up a sexual version of Cow Tools. Her friend says "I don't get it..."

Another fun fact: our moon is so massive that the barycentre of the Earth Moon system is a point in open space between them. That is the moon is so big not only is it making circles around the earth, but it's also pulling the earth around in little circles.

I get why a VC funded site would ban a user basically saying "attempted murder is good, actually".

What I don't get is all the radicals thinking that any corp website wouldn't. Like, there are OSS DIY alternatives where like-minded mods can happen.

But that's cringe nerd shit.

I wouldn't worry about it. Canadian potash comes from Saskatchewan, which is like the Oklahoma or North Dakota of Canada. Resource rich but still miserable and conservative.

No Canadian government is going to pick a fight with them by blocking their exports.

20-something millennial feminists got mild traction on tumblr and twitter for like four entire years and now every major media corporation is like "toy story 6 should be about the dangers of race mixing"

Hey @illconceivedpodcast.com they said the quiet part loud.

NATO-alphabet-ass name on that guy.

Because that's a voice I want in my ear for an hour.

Like, if he weren't the absolute worst human being I'd feel bad for him for his disability. But podcasts *aren't* his ideal medium.

How common is this when the party is mostly opposition? This is a distinct feature of the US system in that the presumptive opposition nominee for President is *not* the congressional/parliamentary opposition leader.

Like, would we have seen similar under Boehner against Obama? Gingrich vs Clinton?

That part isn't in quotes, implying it's paraphrased.

I'd wager the article specified "vacation house" before editor said "that sounds too privileged".

Weekend at a wealthier friend's cottage doesn't happen super often but it happens.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

We urgently need to switch to renewables.

Now more than ever, we urgently need to switch to renewables.

This is about more than saving the planet; it's about peace and stability - renewables are cheaper and provide greater energy security.

More people died in Israel's latest bombing of Lebanon than died in the 2020 Beirut port blast
