This is an actual reason why Bari Weiss’ CBS foreign editor told staff that they could not include reporting on Netanyahu receiving advance warning of a Hamas attack before Oct 7. The astonishing tirade in @status.news www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

it’s hilarious that collins just has no answer for any of this. just pure deer in the headlights even as ossoff is basically doing the “babe ruth calling his own home run” thing with reporters every week before these debates

I don’t know that I want Ossoff to actually win the nomination but at this point I do want him to run because I think seeing the response the base has to his obvious contempt for Republicans will make the entire rest of the field better

Please stop w/the "even though they were disabled they didn't let that stop them." One, disability porn is gross. Two, disability is a very valid reason, not an excuse, to not do things. The goal when disabled is to NOT kill yourself faster & a lot of times that means not doing something #disability

yes I think a horse-drawn wehrmacht armed primarily with bolt action rifles would easily conquer the entire mass of africa, not get wiped out in a matter of days by Egypt's professional 21st century air force

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin
A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

After one day of preschool they skipped me into kindergarten since I could already read and write and from then on I was a grade ahead which was itself a weird experience. A 3rd-grade teacher said she thought I was born 40 years old. And that was years before The Incident made me mentally older

Gladiator (2000) had fresh tomatoes piled on outdoor market stalls in a movie about 180 CE in Rome. Tomatoes are a New World crop and didn’t show up in Italy until 1300 years later. The Roman cavalry was also shown using stirrups which is also wrong.

Your daily reminder that more people are playing and buying PC games than ever before. This is a growing industry. The only reason the industry is struggling is because the people are the top are vacuuming up all the money made to divert it to AI in an unhinged all-in multi-trillion-dollar gamble.

it turns out that “optimize for engagement” and “optimize for societal best outcomes” are opposing goals and if you look at the entire history of the tech industry you can see which of those two wins out

hey ben. the guy in the picture here is an actual person, my friend’s dad, and a spiritual leader of Lakota people, Chief Arvol Looking Horse. not only does he support Indigenous People’s Day, he’s the founder of World Peace and Prayer Day. feels weird to use his image and not his name.

This is obvious race-baiting, flailing dictator wannabe bullshit. But they still haven’t learned how tough Rep. Omar is. She’s also incredibly popular in her district: won her last election with approx 75% of the vote despite both conservative Democrats and ALL Republicans trying to take her out.

That's a very good point about the cartoon network and other leaks that I feel like is understated in all this Companies keeping all of their production materials so private that not even the people who worked on it can access it is 100% an anti-worker measure

Edited 4 panel comic of Calvin and Hobbes

Calvin's dad approaches Calvin and says "playing internet slang? I'll show you something interesting"
"The two types of slang are Nazi and AAVE. All slang falls into these two categories. Rizz? AAVE. Chad? Nazi"
Calvin responds "yeah"
Calvin's dad continues 'serving cunt? AAVE. -Maxxing? Nazi. Despite being actually funny, -slop is nazi"

The final panel shows Calvin, eyes wide as he struggles to sleep.
