Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 3d agoThe takeaway from Bo French suggesting Asian students are “foreigners” and the tepid GOP response is that the Trump-era Republican Party is increasingly explicit about its belief that the only good immigrants, and the only real Americans, are white.

Trump is a sociopath who cares nothing for human suffering and is basically dead inside. Hegseth is, like, sexually aroused by violence. He lusts after murder.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.
There's never enough Classics content here so let's talk about a couple of (as I tell my students) 'load-bearing culture words' in Latin and some of their cultural significance: beneficium: a favor, kindness, service officium: a duty, kindness, service & munus: a service, favor, obligation, gift.
Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.
Again, this is what happens when states own football clubs. The Premier League became a land grab for state ownership, billionaires, and private equity. All to the detriment of the game and its supporters. Man City a pawn in a geopolitical game.
Laura Phillips@lauraphillips.bsky.social · last wk.@alexwickham.bsky.social: ‘Exclusive with AlexDooler DNair UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City’s punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter’1/

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."
These little speeches in front of a gigantic flag are some of the most delusional acts of self-aggrandizement I've ever seen. I wonder what's going through the minds of all the serious military people who're forced to watch this guy jerk himself off like this.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoHegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."
look, if you're worried about being remembered, don't try to pursue immortality or whatever, the smart move is to start selling substandard copper and then make sure anyone who complains deposits a physical copy of that complaint in a site that will later be archaeologically significant
Ned Resnikoff@resnikoff.bsky.social · 2w agoThe thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

I'm always curious when I see stories like this about what's going through the cow's head. To be this big, lumbering land animal and find itself flying through the air.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 3w agoA cow named Vahine was airlifted to safety from a mountain in the French Pyrenees after getting stuck in mud and becoming too weak to descend. The area was inaccessible by vehicle, so rescuers transported her by helicopter.
Remarkable thread, very good explanation by @yeomans.bsky.social I'm left with the question: what on earth are the legal authorities in the UK up to?
Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · 3w agoWorrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.
The courts should block this. If they don't, we should tear it down on the very first day of the next administration. If possible, Trump should be made to watch the demolition. This, the ballroom, whatever he does to the Kennedy Center and all of the rest. Erase it all. Full damnatio memoriae.
Nick Kodama 🌳👻@nickkodama.bsky.social · 3w agolol what
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The first game that made me feel things. It was beautiful, scary, challenging, grandiose, charming, tragic. Man, I need to get my hands on an emulator and play it again.
Retro Blast 👻@retroblastpod.com · 3w agoWhat's your "origin" video game? Most gamers have a lot of favorite games, sure, but there's always one that basically 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 you. I'm talking about the game that flipped that little switch in your brain and made into a life-long gamer. So, which game is 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨?
