This is how politics often work outside the US where there are more than 2 parties. The party/parties that have no realistic shot of winning will drop out to throw support behind the less bad option. She’s being selfish at best and not interested in the best outcome for her party.

Today’s example of “late-stage capitalism is upon us”: I went to the liquor store to pick up a few bottles of wine. They asked if I wanted a box just like any other time in my 20+ years of buying alcohol. They proceeded to ring me up for a store-branded box. So excited for liquor stores to be BYOB.

I was wondering who would even believe Trump’s claims of reducing prices over 100%, and that’s on me for not previously thinking “NFL QB”.

What a waste of a scholarship. Just pay college players and give scholarships to people who won’t come out of their class saying, “conspiracy theories are real”. I had to double check the article to confirm he actually said 200%. Does he think he can complete 200% of his passes?

Going off this photo, I don’t see how that’s a homer. It looks like it could have been caught, so the fan interference is probably a net positive for the Yankees.

FINALLY GOT IT! I've taken well over 100,000 pelican pictures, maybe 200,000. Over 20,000 the past month alone. Today, I snagged "The One That Got Away" In my infinite optimism, I give you, a very rare: Fish success story. 🪶

a pelican with their mouth open, and two fish are above to fall into their pouch, but one is above another and may take a path out

the pelicans mouth is closed, and there's a fish out

the pelican looks at the camera, miffed, the fish is far away from its head at this point

the pelican opens its beak and tries to go for it, but i can report back it failed, the fish was long gone

I agree with most of this. Where I differ is that I don’t think Knight of Seven Kingdoms is trying to be like GoT. I think it stands well on its own so far (outside of needing to know a little bit of the lore introduced by GoT).

As we approach the holiday season, I would like to petition @bencollins.bsky.social and @theonion.com to bring back gift boxes. I have great memories of people’s thinly masked indifference when they opened boxes like a whisk gift set.

In that regard, the consequences are more of the same but potentially worse as LLMs can be used to explicitly spread disinformation like we’ve seen with Musk/Grok. LLMs are reaching a larger audience than fringe things like OAN and Newsmax

If it is happening, it’s not going to fix the underlying issue that a significant part of our population wants to be spoonfed information with no regard for its accuracy. LLMs provide the easy button those people crave.

People who easily believe bullshit without applying critical thinking are going to believe other bullshit. Just because the other bullshit is less wrong doesn’t escape the issue that they are extremely malleable to the next thing they are told.

As a Steelers fan, I have a history of cheering the team and hoping the QB’s career is obliterated by a bone-crushing sack. Roethlisberger & now Rodgers. It’s not a great way to watch sports especially when so many around you are rooting for said QB and waving away what they’ve done.

I really dislike how AI proponents think that if others just gave the technology a chance, we’d see how green the grass is on their side. Are the big players still bereft of any ethics and morals? Yes? Cool, I’m good over here.

I did say that I have a hard time understanding how what they have done does not fit the definition of genocide.

Libel and blood libel are substantially different. I stand by my statement that your prior use of blood libel is unnecessary hyperbole. I also don’t agree with your use of libel. Nowhere did I say that Israel has committed genocide.

Stop Making Cents @stopmakingcents.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

So I can better understand your position, are you able to describe what would have to happen for the classification of this conflict to escalate from war crimes to genocide?

Stop Making Cents @stopmakingcents.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I am by no means an ardent study of global conflicts, so I don’t have an answer to your question. With regards to this conflict, I think the only reason Netanyahu hasn’t been more aggressive is it would be a bridge too far to continue the US support he receives. That doesn’t change his intent.

It’s not clear why the volume of births to deaths is meaningful in this context. What is more meaningful to me is that the birth rate has sharply declined which seems to indicate the tactics being used by Israeli military are having their intended result.

Blood libel is unfitting hyperbole; I am trying to better understand why you don’t consider this a genocide. I cited ways that, from my perspective, indicate Israeli military is, at best, stymying Palestinians from reproductive healthcare.

Stop Making Cents @stopmakingcents.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I’m struggling to see where this isn’t a genocide by definition. Per the UN, Israel has damaged/destroyed 94% of Gaza’s hospitals. They damaged Gaza’s largest fertility clinic and are accused by the UN of targeting healthcare workers. How are these actions not seen as measures to stop reproduction?

I enjoyed how every defender Washington encountered hoped that being in the approximate vicinity would cause him to step out of bounds. It’s bittersweet they only throw to him a couple times a game, but it makes the entire experience with regardless of anything else happening.
