A big bang here in western Kyiv shook the house slightly - monitors on Telegram say it was a shoot-down of a jet drone. Constant air alerts in the capital are extremely tiresome (we had four from 0000 to 07000 alone last night), but there are signs the shootdown ratio is rising.

Sounds like they should turn their weapons on their oppressors. Oh well, keep dying, slaves.

This is broadly speaking understandable when you realise that to a certain kind of American liberal, only America actually exists, and the rest of the world is a sort of theoretical argument that is only brought up to distract from the manichaean struggle between Democrats and Republicans.

Feel like we don't talk enough about the 50,000 North Koreans fighting in Ukraine.

I like this poster, but christ does it fucking bother me that, in the year 2026, leftists are still unable to call the systemic destruction of Ukrainian life, language, and culture as a genocide.

"We shouldn't help out a soveregin European nation against a clearly imperialist (and genocidal) invasion because the Americans fucked up" glad to learn once again that nobody between Budapest and Tallin should posess agency or freedom and we should just accept being slaves to Moscow. Fuck you OJ.

There's a lot of South Korean-Ukrainian conflict on Twitter right now (because their dumb shit government decided to blame us for talking about publicly-known information) but the main thing in learning is that it certainly seems like most SK citizens don't really care about NK aggression.

You ever read a transcript of minor deportation hearing in the United States immigration system? The kids usually don't have lawyers. The judge is fucking asking a ten-year old if they understand immigration law. It's beyond ridiculous. It is state-directed abuse against fucking kids.

I think this blog post is correct: a tendency to read idfic structures into reality is very damaging to people and it would help people, a lot, to acquire the skills to better understand how fictional enjoyment of something is very distinct from real yearning. aquarusa.wordpress.com/2026/09/28/t...

A first in my career: a malicious actor has copied the entire NV article archive, created a fake site, and planted a single (1) fake story in it, which is then further spread via a network of bots on social networks. Investigations are ongoing.

If AI poses a 1% risk of extinction (which destroys 8.3B lives, valued at $10M ea), and OpenAI contributes 17.6% of the AI industry, then putting Sam Altman in prison for life, right now, has an expectation value of about $146 trillion dollars. Seems like a no-brainer :)

Worth noting Hunter S. Thompson wrote, arguably, the best piece of traditional journalism in his entire career about Salazar's assassination. 'Rumblings in Aztlan' is still important reading. scribd.com/document/422925808/1297809321-Strange-Rumblings-in-Aztlan-small-pdf share.google/vm05Tb8Khzuk...

I do not believe Hasan Piker is an antisemite because of anything he’s said about Israel, I believe he’s an antisemite because he cannot stop repeating conspiracy theories sourced directly from the world’s leading sponsors of antisemitic conspiracy theories

In the immediate wake of 9/11, I got used to seeing my father (who is as brown as I am) suddenly become the prime target for every airport security search and check every time we flew, which was pretty often as we often flew to Toronto from NYC to visit family friends there.

"Taking credit for things" is the difference, not policies. I had never heard of this program (and dozens of others) because before, these were obfuscated bureaucratic garbage. They may still be now, but I know they exist! This is a fundamental change in Democratic messaging.

one thing that i find absolutely baffling about AI discourse is that the private frontier labs want to simultaneously claim AGI is a natsec risk (Manhattan Project level) and also that they should be able to capture the rents of producing said AGI

Man, that was a good episode of Star Trek. But...it was /almost/ great, nearly great - it felt like they just sort of ran out of time at the end there and so the conclusion was less satisfying than it should have been.
