A reminder, Russia was responsible for the shooting down on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 which killed 27 Australians. And this is our AUKUS partner with whom according to Richard Marles we have "shared values"

"Trump’s actual purpose was plainly not to increase US diesel supplies, or otherwise lower prices, but rather to make clear his intention to definitively change sides & become Russia’s wartime ally — & to undermine the sanctions regime against Russia the US worked so hard to implement over 5 years."

reneweconomy.com.au/hot-bricks-h... Great news today in the thermal energy storage front, and I'm really looking forward to following this one. Industrial decarb mostly means solar -> process heat, and that heat needs to be storable at low cost. Hot rocks in a box look simple enough to do this!

this is all very funny because anyone who tries to run away from this war in 2028 will have two problems 1. nobody believes you 2. trump won’t let you disavow him or say he’s been anything less than a total success

So what you're saying is CNN found out what French people are.

I was there in the LJ times, do not speak to me on the morality of HP slash.

why do we bash "dead beat" children for not being there for their parents but we never question if the parent has bad vibes? or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

ancient Neanderthals growing tired of their parents judging their foraging technique and running off to a whole new biome with the cute homo-sapien they met at the watering hole that their parents absolutely hate

The question that comes to me from this is: have any emergency castrations been performed on school children secondary to firearm trauma?

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 3d ago

Former Oxford Rhodes scholar Dr Abdul El-Sayed has gone viral with a video in which he defends the US Constitution and its protection for freedom of religion. Dr El-Sayed is the Democratic nominee for senator in Michigan. Here he discusses implicit assumptions and bias in politics.

“It’s all just linear algebra” I mutter to myself after my third failed attempt to read Sheldon Axler’s linear algebra textbook.

Karsten Konrad 🇪🇺@zabong69.bsky.social · 4d ago

That „it’s all just linear algebra“ was an insider joke in ML circles, and we should have never let any normies hear it. They can’t handle it.

There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers"

Erik Loomis@erikloomis.bsky.social · 5d ago

And we can certainly condemn his violence. But let’s step back and remember just how horrible slavery was. On December 20, 1858, Brown, who had briefly returned to Kansas, led a party into Missouri to free slaves.

I don't know man. I am not British, but my grandfather spoke with respect about Polish, Nepalese and Indian soldiers he saw and served with.

One of my workplaces is staffed entirely by PhDs. The office kitchen has a sign by the toaster. It reads: Please do not butter bread before placing in toaster. Lemme tell you. Signs like that don’t happen because ONE person did it ONE time.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Ted Cruz: "Right now, if you are left-wing transgender witch, you hate Donald Trump"

I actually think the use of the word “finally” is so telling as to the role our heavily right-wing media plays in our politics. Sources like The Telegraph have been pushing successive governments for trans-exclusionary policy for years. They’ve got what they wanted. This is now their victory lap.

He's also ruined "grok," using it as he does for an LLM that fundamentally fails, on multiple levels, the entire concept of "grokking." But this is the Billionaire Way, naming shit for things in their favorite books in ways that the original authors would likely look on in horror

It pains me to see a good man's named destroyed this way. Nicola Tesla was a great engineer despite being eccentric. MuskRat doesn't deserve the use of his name.

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. https://wapo.st/4yt6dHY
