Divorcing a Jordanian princess to marry an American dietician TikToker………quitting your job as a foreign correspondent to become a police officer in South Carolina…….there is something very fascinating going on here psychologically.

DHH is one of those Ruby on Rails guys who made his millions, had like 8 decent ideas, got into a super expensive hobby, and couldn't handle it when the world noticed he's a massive piece of shit who is no longer relevant. You know, like Ruby on Rails.
Anil DashJust in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

A reminder that the Tesla company virtually worships this violence-inciting Neo-Nazi as their "Technoking". Any purchase of this company's products is inseparable from his ideology
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)Elon Musk's politics are indistinguishable from Paul Golding of Britain First [except Britain First is more coded on violence, while Musk has been more openly pro-violence as inevitable, necessary, legitimate since Aug 2025] The main pro-Hitler YouTuber "Zoomer Historian" is encouraged.

“Almost every extremist attempt to socialise violence - fr Hitler to Rwanda, from Northern Ireland to Musk yesterday-sees extremists present as counter-extremists, to posit an existential threat & to propose political violence as necessary for community self-defence. Musk offers a paradigm case” 🧵

This is like when Chief Justice Kant, who now famously called the youth of India 'cockroaches', said in court that he wasn't interested in watching videos of police brutality and then later said that he didn't say that and it was fake news (like bollock it was) when people got pissed.
Aparna NairI can promise Mr Mohandas that it is not "Malayalam humor and satire" to say that leftists, Dalits and women protesting the regime "like rape" Its just the ugly hate and violence that lies at the root of Hindutva/fascism. As a fellow Malayalee who has long loved our tradition of mocking politicians.
Well, the most stressed missile types in that table are the defensive ones! The ones which stop Iran from causing significant casualties when it retaliates against the very same places from which such strikes might get launched! Remember, they ALREADY have the capacity to hit a B-2 bomber base.
I'd put $10 on any "super big attack" to not really be that more substantial than what we've been seeing. We've likely severely depleted our standoff weapon stockpile, we're operating almost entirely out of Israel+KSA or further (Greece, Italy, etc). We're genuinely limited in our options.

I’m genuinely wondering how many elections—in Michigan especially—the Democrats are going to have to lose until they’re willing to be adults and have an adult conversation about how unbelievably racist against Muslims the party is
#StupidSuezA great example of how absurd US politics is is that Abdul El Sayed feels compelled to tell random people online to not make fun of Stevens' accent, but an actual elected official who is a Stevens supporter can say that Abdul shouldn't speak Arabic in public and Stevens won't condemn it.
Nonsensical.
The planet would stay habitable and physically support farming even in 2500, at warming levels we would most likely avoid on current trends. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Assuming it's not a rhetorical question, I could point to some projections for what it would look like in 25 years, though many details are highly dependent on the specific model and a few other assumptions. ...On the flip side, have you thought about how MILD French WINTER would be in 15 years? /s
YARDCGThey say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I suppose climate is truly beautiful then; where you look at France/UK, others see "a diminishing number of cold-uncomfortable days and an increasing number of comfort days...an improvement in thermal comfort conditions...in high-income regions"

Tim Stanley offered them the olive branch that the left was to blame for them collectively losing their minds on climate change, but still the Telegraph’s readers are not ready to be reconciled with science and reason.
Leo HickmanLet's just say that the readers are losing their minds in the comments under the article. More than 4,000 comments so far. A tiny sample...
(The upcoming Harry Potter show is in a similar boat; as long as JKR is alive, their audience would be more chuddish than average, yet they are ALSO pissing them off with their casting for Snape. Is there some massive Goldilocks zone of viewers who support Black representation but not trans rights?)
But they are ABSOLUTELY BOUND to piss off those same people with their casting for everyone else! This feels as badly thought out as the live-action Snow White; the chuds didn't see it because of Ziegler and the people now turning out for Lupita in The Odyssey skipped that film because of Gal Gadot.
YARDCGHuh, you made me look and indeed! Well, technically, a Black man (Tramell Tillman, who is also gay) is playing the Ghost of Christmas PRESENT; instead BOTH of the other ghosts are women! With famously gay Sir Ian McKellen playing Marley, it's approaching Wicked levels of Woke Casting (laudatory).

In Australia's mega-fires of 2019-2020, 27 of 34 different rainforest types in South East Queensland potentially burnt "the wettest rainforest types and putative past refugia burnt more than other rainforest types. These results suggest that given drought conditions any rainforest could burn"👇
onlinelibrary.wiley.comDaniel SwainIn the United Kingdom, local firefighting agencies have been overwhelmed by vegetation fires during repeated heatwaves. Numerous forest and moorland fires, including some in the infamously damp Scottish Highlands, continue to burn.
Lebanon, 1983. Hezbollah wasted several hundred American troops, and Reagan withdrew all troops within 12 months. The median American voter had memory-holed it entirely, preferring to remember him as an unbreakable Cold Warrior and not as a guy who sold weapons to the sponsors of suicide bombers.

Trita ParsiTomorrow is Lindsey Graham's funeral. Here is some previously unseen footage of his monstrous reaction to Trump starting the illegal war with Iran. [laughing] - We have done it! [more laughter] - I almost cried! [of happiness] - How long have we pushed this?
"Political benefits and costs" FOR WHOM?! I.e. an Air Force Marshal who follows your advice will get fired or tried for treason. One who orders to strike the thunder-running column with Hornets will at best be a national hero and at worst, would blame dead pilots on politicians underfunding him.
Chances are, they would "merely" purge the entire military leadership top-to-bottom and replace them with the people who would fight and THEN vastly increase their budget; but if they don't believe they could find such people, the rational response would be to defund all of it.
