This is a good article, except for this part: "But the reason it feels like a coup is that we have no precedent for an administration treating its own government like a hostile territory to be conquered and exploited." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/o...

He and his team are treating the government like hostile territory to be conquered.

It's cool when magicians do it. Real life is not magical. "He who lives trusting, dies betrayed."
This is insanely open minded and visionary. Kudos! 🥂
Paul Frazee@pfrazee.com · 2y agoFree Our Feeds! What is it! @freeourfeeds.com F.O.F. is an independent group with the goal of running THIS👇 social network totally outside of Bluesky. It's not us. It's a fully independent version of the network. All the same users and posts. Running cooperatively with us and others.
"Reason" TV lol... I don't know if this has a name already, but I have a theory that whatever a brand calls itself (or makes its motto), we can be 80% sure that they will act in complete opposition to that name and/or motto. youtu.be/Qaw5wbOsN7w

Embargo is lifted: 2024 is the first year to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial level. Congratulations, world!
Çağrı Mert Bakırcı-Taylor@cmb.evrimagaci.org · 2y agoCan't tell much due to the embargo, but Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) is about to announce some pretty scary results. I fear that no one cares about it anymore and their children is about to suffer bad consequences.

CARTOONS OF THE DAY 🫤 (Cartoonists are rallying around @anntelnaes.bsky.social as she leaves the @washingtonpost.com )
Nikki Glaser is one of my absolute favorite comedians and I have to say: She crushed it at the Golden Globes! Incredible job!
I don't know if the social media is running out of content, or if the algorithms are stupid enough to show the same things over and over again, but I can't find anything that's not repetitive of something else that I've already seen. I hope it's true for everyone so we can move on from SM.
What are some movies that have traumatized you as a child? I'll go first: My Girl, 1991 I've seen some scenes from I.T. as well when I was like 8 and couldn't take a shower for a while. 😂
jesus christ this guys needs genuine help
onion person@junlper.beer · 2y agoadrian dittman is elon musk confirmed
How different would the world be if the USA stayed this big, I wonder.
Even if you've earned $591.000 PER DAY (yes, per DAY), since the year 0 (yes, for the past 2024 years), Elon Musk would still have more wealth than you do.* Yeah... Let that sink in. * Assuming no interest or inflation.
Something like this will be found in the future, when these things will be completely unknown (or there is nothing that can "know" is left)...
The shittification of Turkish Airlines is mind boggling. Removing free seat selection almost entirely, only 1 check-in baggage allowed, crashing food quality, price increases in almost every single add-on as far as I can tell... I guess it's time to say goodbye. I'll miss the direct flights.
Check this out. This is Rembrandt's "Young Scholar and His Tutor" from 1629. It's a beautiful masterpiece.
Cool, but this is one of the more useless, divisive, and robotic features of social media, as it is solely purposed towards attention and not value generation. Ground News or All Sides style multi-perspective trending news would be way more useful than "AI generated social media trends".

Okay, I'll gladly take your money. Here are the rules: 1) Produce evidence that this amount exists in your bank account and you're willing to earmark it for this challenge. 2) Have your lawyer write up a binding contract that if your request is satisfied, you'll be legally required to pay.
I love this illusion! Keep looking at the center and wiggle the phone around and it starts having a 3D effect as if the reds are coming out of the screen.
A good demonstration of how you can hack your y-axis to tell a non-existing story about your boring data.
This is the clearest image of Antares. It's 620 light years away from us. That's 39.2 MILLION times the distance between the Sun and the Earth. And I can't take a photo of my own face this sharp from my arm's reach. 🤦♂️
Half my admissions tonight are for the flu. Get your flu shot.
You gotta be kidding me... It *only* made people lose 20% on average, not 25%. Oh no!!! (The "market" is insane.)
