The good part of war is blowing up elementary schools full of young girls and leaving sailors to drown after torpedoing their unarmed ship. To this administration, that stuff is porn.
"If we do not create awareness around this problem, worse and worse behavior will become normalized. At some point... scientific literature will be completely poisoned. Some worry that talking about this issue is attacking science. But I strongly believe we are defending science from bad actors."
This is the Platonic ideal of a social media exchange, never again to be equaled or even attempted:
To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes.
Again, we have an entire economy built on propping up the worst of white peoples
Ísland hlýtur að þurfa huga að aðgerðum á landamærunum.
Maybe people will wake up to the fact that the AI push has been about paying workers even less and taking away job security.
Less "prompt engineering" and more labor organizing.
*Not all vibe is vibe and not all slop is slop. Those are pejoratives, so I kinda enjoy using them
*But, I don't want to make the critical mistakes of John Ruskin, who firmly preached that molten cast-iron was inherently evil, and had no proper place in architecture or in cities
That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...
Tragedy and farce, at the same time.
No American need be dissuaded from disgust because we killed 175 schoolgirls in a wartime airstrike gone awry. But this isn't our worst in Iran. For those who don't remember, google Flight 655 and July 3, 1988. That was 290 innocent people. There was no war. And our president refused to apologize.
So you don't heave a missile into an elementary school, then fire a second missile into the school to finish off the survivors is why a professional military engages in dumb, politically correct rules of engagement. But no, American exceptionalism > 175 schoolgirls.
If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Olíuverð á uppleið, störfum fækkar, óvíst með endalok í Íran, Epstein skjölin og kosningar í haust gætu orðið skelfilegar fyrir flokk Trump...

The "all conservatism was always already Trumpist and fascist" line is ultimately a way to normalize Trump, and should be resisted.

these guys all intend to be retired by the time the check comes due, the costs (cultural and financial) will all be thrown in the lap of the Democratic party as per tradition
though I'm sure Politico points that out
Loksins, loksins, loksins fáum við Íslendingar kannski að gera það sem Norðmenn hafa fengið að gera tvisvar. Að kjósa um aðild að ESB. Fyrsta skrefið verður sem sagt stigið 29. ágúst. En Bjarni Ben og Sigmundur Davíð lugu því að okkur fyrir kosningar 2013 að það yrði haldin atkvæðagreiðsla...
Heimildin er að staðfesta það sem blasti við. Að flokkur Sigmundar Davíðs væri öfga hægriflokkur sem fær stuðning frá Bandarískum öfga hægriöflum og vinnur væntanlega í góðu samstarfi við fasistaflokka í Evrópu. Orðræða Miðflokksins hefur endurspeglað þetta...

"For the first time since we began tracking zero-day exploitation, we attributed more zero-days to commercial surveillance vendors than to traditional state-sponsored cyber espionage groups."
Love to see the stats backing up my hunch.

Mr. Mullin may be the penultimate moron in the U.S. Senate, out-thinking only the husk that is Senator Tuberville, but helped by enough lip filler and hair extensions, he can be augmented with the intimate advice and constant companionship of Cory Lewandowski, a committed consigliere to DHS.
"quote that is often attributed to" is a fun euphemism for "i'm making this up"
C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
"Every bullet and air defense asset we give Ukraine is one that we can't use to defend Taiwan."
