Petty, but: There's only three 'layers', not four (the first two are arguably the same?), words repeat ('implement' ALL THE THINGS), and the grammar in the 1st sentence of the 2nd graf is awful. Forget Super-Intelligence, can we get a model that mimics someone who passed high school English class?

Ok, military historians, help me out? How did this WW2 negative end up in my grandfather's things? His brother is in the photo. This picture was published in the local paper, but so far as I can tell, wire distribution =\= acetate negatives? Am I wrong? (NO info needed about the image itself, thx.)

A negative of a black and white photo of a WW2 bomber plane called the Piccadilly Willy and seven airmen posing in front of it.

Trenton, 1917. I did not know these photos existed. Up to now I've seen *maybe* 3-4 pictures of my great-grandparents. My brother's cleaning out our mother's house, and came across an entire album full of photos. I've never seen these. I'm not even sure Mom knew she had them.

A black and white photo of a couple. She is wearing a tiered striped dress and hat with a tall motif on the front. She has her head on his shoulder. He's wearing a striped band collar short and dark pants with what appears to be a pocket watch.

I think there are strong connections between body shaming, queerphobia, racism, and misogyny. I think you should think twice before body shaming even evil people. We should try and break this habit no matter how cathartic it feels.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

A male California quail for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #bokeh. #ECK #WCK #PNW #Birds #Quail #Nature #Photography

A male California quail perched amidst contrasting foliage. The bird is positioned on the right side of the frame, facing right, showcasing its distinct gray-blue breast, scaled belly patterns, and dark face outlined in white. A prominent, curved black topknot plume extends forward from the crown of its head. The quail is nestled among deep burgundy leaves and thin, bare branches that sweep across the foreground. The background is a soft, completely blurred expanse of bright lime green leaves.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

When I was younger and broke, I used to joke that I had nothing to steal, so I was fairly immune to scams. This is particularly nasty. I imagine they think they're stealing from the government, but as someone who once counted on food stamps, I think this means people aren't eating.

"Mail scams aren't the only '90s throwback on the docket. The US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Alabama indicted two Romanian nationals last week on charges related to alleged credit card skimming. Authorities say the pair specifically targeted government SNAP food assistance benefits distributed to recipients in most states on antiquated magnetic stripe-only debit cards, or Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards."

At best "culture fit" excludes ND folks, and at worst it's white supremacy. Unless you literally work in/for a specific minority culture, diversity in all respects *benefits* your team because a range of varying perspectives reduces your blind spots. The linked thread is 👍.

The second camp is the more militant one, and it comes down to “culture fit,” formality level, and testing to see if an interviewee knows the invisible rules of office culture. If this is you, I’d like you to reflect on it for a bit. I hate the idea of “culture fit” in job interviews. Why?

Honestly, that's remarkably low for such a grueling situation. www.newsweek.com/navy-mental-...

"...overall suicide rates across active and reserve personnel in the U.S. military had decreased, but suicides among active-duty troops and sailors had increased between 2011 and 2024. This trend matches the U.S. general population, the Pentagon said.

Most of the active-duty service members who died by suicide in 2024 were males under 30 years old. The majority died from gunshot wounds.

In 2024, 1,515 suicide attempts were reported among active-duty personnel, including 268 in the Marine Corps and 356 in the Navy.

The Navy said 71 active-duty sailors had died by suicide in 2022, up from 65 in 2020 and 59 in 2021."

This is a common lie from DHS press flacks. They claim that people who came through CBP One — who registered for an appointment through a government app, went to a port of entry, and were issued a grant of humanitarian parole by a CBP officer letting them enter — "entered illegally." Total nonsense.
