I love stuff like this. Residents of history are rarely allowed to be just normal people, but when I see a photo like this I'm reminded they were us. Just a dude exercising their passion for photography, without some momentous sense of place.

Lies, treaties made and quickly broken, massacres of large civilian populations justified by sporadic incidents of frontier violence. Settlers encroaching on territory they feel belongs to them by religious right. Starvation and sexual violence as tools. The hallmarks are all there.

Comparisons are often drawn between the Holocaust and Palestinian genocide, and I understand why, but I'm reading Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and I think the genocide of the Native North Americans bears a much closer resemblance.

I'm morally opposed to capital punishment, but as a medical professional it boggles my mind how incompetent these holdout states are at carrying it out. There are many ways to kill a person relatively quickly and without, as far as we understand, inflicting serious pain. The torture is a choice.

We're having our first next month, a baby girl. How did you balance leisure time versus sleep when baby is sleeping? If baby is fussy, my partner and I plan to take it in shifts until I go back to work. I'm fairly prepared for the answer to be "leisure time doesn't exist".

AI superintelligence already described a specific kind of AI (that is, AI smarter than humans) before Trump's nonsense. To be contrasted to general intelligence - AI as smart as humans - and narrow intelligence, which is what modern AI remains so far. The bill bans superintelligence.

Philly's stadiums (other than the soccer stadium, unfortunately) are easily accessible off commuter rail. There's not much to see around them though, they're tucked in under south Philly near the airport.

Trees barely grow in the Meadowlands. Really bleak area overall - they turned a pretty unique ecosystem into a mess of concrete, highways, and industrial facilities. Terrible introduction to both New York and New Jersey for those visiting.

A heat wave killing twelve thousand people in Western Europe is the kind of thing sci fi writers would have written 15 years ago as the spur that finally got the world to take major climate action. Instead the response has been a big shrug. It will happen again. And worse. And where you live.

Mom made herself as big as she could around her child. Heartbreaking. No civilian should ever go through this kind of terror bombing, in any country. Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan, Iran, Lebanon. A scene repeated too often.

This has been my take. The Balogun suspension being lifted was a fairly obviously corrupt decision by a lot of people I don't like, but it's only the latest in a very long line of those kinds of decisions. I'll still enjoy the game and root for my side, and hope that one day FIFA will be better.

Posted 21 minutes before Iran again struck US bases and hours after Israel signaled fresh aggression in Lebanon. You gotta stop credulously reporting on every attempt at talks and acknowledge there is no ceasefire, we are still at war in the Middle East.

It's a shame that Platner's most vocal critics are so insufferable because the guy really is problematic. Still rather have him in the Senate than a Republican from Maine.

It was my choice to join the fire department. I even enjoy the adrenaline rush of a "good" call. It still sucks shit when I see dead kids and burned bodies. I still think arsonists are bad even though I volunteered to fight fire.

I won't pretend I love all my neighbors, but people are people. I've lived in California, New Jersey, Maryland, Oklahoma. I lived in the UK for a couple years. Most people care about the things that directly involve their day to day. For everything else, they fall back on prior belief.

51% approval in deep red states like South Dakota, Alabama, and Missouri is incredibly low. I live in South Dakota, people aren't even talking about the assassination attempt here. They're just worried about gas prices and the war in Iran.

You're the kind of Mayor who can help right some ugly injustices done to EMS workers in New York City. It is the "same job" and EMS should be paid like it. Your EMTs and Paramedics are making pennies while across the river in NJ agencies are paying real money. Do better.

Putting aside the stupidity of his commentary on Star Trek, I guess I just assumed his work was political. His works are all about the importance of the scientific method and pulling together as a human race to do great, important things. We're in a political moment where those are clear faultlines!

The move does not aim to alleviate congestion. The move is purely punitive, explicitly stated as such by our petulant President. You're a good news agency, tell it like it is.

I think it's okay not to love an email job, but there are many alternatives before diving into crazy wing nut rabbit holes. Be a firefighter! Learn to love EMS! Learn a trade. Get into nursing. Join the military (warning: you may get deployed into illegal wars).

Alex's mom on his 38th birthday.
Today should be your 38th birthday..
When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughter, his smile, and his love are woven into who I am. My love for him will never fade. Yor are my pride and my joy - you've made a change that cannot be broken..

I attended primary school on US military bases. If I'd have been killed alongside my classmates in an aggressive first strike, the US government would have burned a country to the ground.

just read a story about a little boy in SC who just learned to ride a bike but he was unvaxxed and got measles and got really sick and got a spinal tap and then pumped with medicines and then his brain swelled anyway and now he won't ever walk or eat on his own and he definitely won't ride a bike

Definitely getting Fortnite vibes. It's clearly part of the Sony mission to find a game that can become a long term social space. I don't think it's that easy though. This isn't my style. I hope it's a modest success so Guerilla gets resources for Horizon 3 but don't have to support this forever.

Important to note this was more or less the take of the Biden administration and it was the moral panics and conspiracies pushed by "provocative" thinkers like Soave and the baser elements of the Trump coalition that led to the release being broadly clamored for.

Ghost of Tsushima is so funny. Whole time brother Jin is agonizing about the moral corruption of assassination. Meanwhile I keep failing stealth checks so Samurai Sakai spends the whole game cutting Mongols down in the sickest ways imaginable.

I would guess this is driven by suburban white and Latino voters. This won't be nationwide or likely permanent. *However*, I think this is a good indication that Texas might be a blood bath for the GOP this November.

All you gotta do is open the page linked to see that "Schumer caved" is not the appropriate narrative here. And I hate Schumer! Dems don't have a lot of leverage to do anything about ICE without electoral changes, but this gives us a little more.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Don't forget this - an agent visibly removes the victim's firearm from his back waistband, where he never attempted to reach. That agent yells "gun", causing another to panic react and shoot. Don't forget that when the Nazis try to tell us this man was armed. He was disarmed, then executed.
