Re: today's rerun of @waywordradio.org #1617 with a spot about corny nonsense icebreaker questions, a pithy term for them occurred to me: "Dad Koans", as they reminded me Zen koans, of which my favorite is: "How many zen masters does it take to change a light bulb?" [walks away]

This county jail in Florida is supposed to detain immigrants for only up to 72 hours, per DHS. One woman was rebooked 10 times, spending a cumulative 26 days in jail. Read the full story: propub.li/4y7RORJ

I always liked how Bill Pascrell put it.
A tweet from the late NJ Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr.. He's responding to a post from Adam Best on August 8, 2020. Best says "USPS ran like clockwork. There was no reason to touch it. But this is what Republicans do. They falsely claim government doesn't work. Then they sabotage government to prove themselves right and find ways to benefit from that destructive process." Pascrell tweets on August 11, 2020: "This. I've watched republicans pour sugar in the gas tank of government and point and shriek 'See! It doesn't run!' countless times. Republicans are incapable of governing because they're arsonists -- and have been for decades."

it is pretty incredible how badly the WNBA have fucked this all up, because trying to placate transphobic bigots nets you zero new fans, but telling them to eat shit can get you new fans who’ve never even cared about sports

This is just your reminder that Goth has always been highly political. The choice to PRESENT as Goth alone is a major indictment of mainstream values. So you snowflakes remembering something else lived in a privileged bubble where you let yourself pretend you did not hear the fucking lyrics.

My ideal solution is not banning teens from large social media platforms but having the sort of regulatory apparatus that makes large social media platforms impossible. Let’s just go back to blogs and niche forum culture.

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

This is a fascinating study arguing that language concepts in brains are not translated from some supposed inner language. Rather, they seem to be spatially stored and relationally used. There is no "language of thought" only processual tokens. news.rice.edu/news/2026/ho...

Post from David Graeber Institute (@DGI@graeber.social)

We could house everyone. We could feed everyone. We could care for everyone. We could build devices designed to last as long as possible. We could align our manufacturing around the needs of the people and the planet.

We materially have the resources to do so.

That's why leftists are so angry. The resources we need to build a world everyone can thrive in literally already exist. We are just using them mostly to pamper the rich or murder the poor.

Closed-loop cooling means only at the rack. ~80% of a datacenter's total water footprint is upstream thermoelectric power generation, not on-site cooling. Going dry-cooled at the facility raises PUE by 0.05-0.15 → more electricity for the same IT load → more water diverted at the power plant.

Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison today--far more than most people convicted of trafficking CSAM, among other serious offenses. He and the other Prarieland defendants were punished not for anything they did but for the things they believe (all of which I also believe)
As a firearms instructor and a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I knew exactly what was about to happen. I knew another protestor was about to be murdered right in front of me,” continued Song. “Should I have done nothing? Should I have looked the other way? Should I have just allowed yet another innocent person to be slaughtered?,” Song asked the court rhetorically. “I was forced to use…the minimum defensive force possible,” in order to “prevent what happened to Alex Pretti,” and to “prevent what happened to Renee Good.” The last thing Song wanted to do was hurt anyone, according to their prepared statement. “And I am so, so happy that no one had their life stolen from them that day. By anyone.”US Sentencing Commission info on average sentences for trafficking child porn (151 months) and receiving it (106 months)
