There's the knight with her sword, swinging it without purpose. And there is you telling her that maybe if she stopped for a moment, and thought about a purpose, she could swing her sword both better and less, and finally be satisfied with the swinging. This only angers her more. She swings harder.

Kroger and Albertsons offered no serious proposal to staff up our stores and tossed us a few peanuts — even as they plan to feed Wall Street billions. Our member-led bargaining team recommends voting NO on the bad contract and YES to authorize a strike. ufcw3000.org/news/2025/5/...

This is really interesting! This is the longest-distance remote software update ever done in human history lol. Voyager is currently 25 billion kilometers or 167.34 AU away from Earth!

If you made the exact pilot of Superman TAS now - rulers of a planet are hostile toward scientific evidence that their planet if about to explode due to their quasi-religious reliance on an AI, leading to their total destruction - the response would rightly be “this is kind of on the nose.”

This is a view from the surface of Comet 67P. The busy particles in the foreground are cosmic rays or bits of dust and ice. The dots moving in the background are stars.

> What's the stupidest way you've hurt yourself? I'm sure there are plenty but first to come to mind was turning around suddenly when someone called my name in 5th grade recess, & ran head first into a metal pole, knocked myself silly (semiconscious) & my friends carried me to the nurse's office.

From the comments: “I would not qualify for the COVID vaccine under these new regulations, but… I regularly visit my octogenarian parents in their retirement home, I work with young children… I should be able to get the vaccine to help minimize transmission and keep those around me safe.”

No Tax on Tips is in many ways the most perfect Trump policy. Deceptively magnanimous to working people. Totally corrosive to the country’s finances and social fabric by being ripe for scamming. Stupid low-trust people allergic to thinking and bad with money will love it

It's funny how the Democratic Party is entirely led by polls, except when the polls tell them that AOC is the future they should be investing heavily in.

This writer just punched his career hard in the face, all for an article that he could have written in ten minutes simply by summarizing jacket copy. (Also, given the "AI"-generated errors in other articles in the insert he produced, he's, shall we saying, overrepresenting how carefully he checks)

Murderbot tv show got me itching to run Eclipse Phase so I forced myself to write some notes and now I have the beginnings of a scenario. Just got to organize it some and flesh it out. Most importantly is to delineate between essential or primary factions/personae and subplots or extra bits.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵
