“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” she said, adding that “numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating [sic] on social media for years now”.
So this isn’t about empowering the victims of Epstein’s criminal enterprise to find justice, it’s about punishing them for inconveniencing her?
That’s utterly ghoulish. Jesus Christ, Melania.
Space exploration is weight lifting for science.
More than fifty research and development facilities across thirty-one states. Gone. Consolidated into a single location in Fort Collins, Colorado. And “consolidated” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, because what it actually means is that decades of place-based, long-term ecological research — the kind that literally cannot exist anywhere else because it depends on specific forests, specific watersheds, specific ecosystems studied over generations — will be snuffed out.
This is incredibly depressing, and leaves some huge questions I am afraid to even seek answers for. I worked alongside some brilliant, dedicated scientists stationed at Los Alamos-- does this mean that everyone there on behalf of the forest service is being moved to a desk in SLC?
It’s plainly a mass firing dressed up as a re-org, and it will cripple our understanding of how to proactively address localized climate change for decades. Fuck.

Well yeah, because of the active genocide against white Afrikaners.
Conversely, there’s nothing of interest going on in Afghanistan and the US has no obligations to any sympathizers or collaborators there, so I’m not sure why we’re letting 3 people flood our country.
Edit: this is sarcasm. Can’t believe I need to say it.
TIL that objects re-entering the atmosphere vary considerably in their initial velocities, and that ones from further out (e.g. lunar visits) tend to be much faster than those from LEO. It’s not intuitively surprising, but I’d assumed that given the “narrow window” used for re-entry, all objects needed to dump enough velocity to arrive in a fairly tight band.
This is sick. People, the man is dead, and none of us will ever know for sure how big his face was.
Does it support unit dependencies? That’s pretty much the only reason I use systemd outside of work. Edit: ah yeah it sure does. I know what I’m playing with next weekend.
Ludicrous claims, rambling non-sequiturs, and outright lies; sounds like anyone who tuned in got exactly what they could have expected.
Thank you! It was a good read, and raised some points that hadn’t crossed my mind.
I’m not normally a huge fan of the economist, but I’d be genuinely interested to hear their perspective on this (if I could find an archive). They are a pillar of the fiscal conservative camp, but they tend to be quite insightful on international politics.
I have been wondering if this is the focal point in the US / China power transition. Iran is not just another tiny state the US can muscle in on, it’s a global economic and population power, and its influence in the region (most obviously on shipping trade) hurts everyone. The open question is whether it hurts manufacturers or the Petro dollar more, though I suspect it’s the latter.
Yeah, I had a good laugh at this. Half of the commits I review are coauthored by Claude, a fact that I’m sure Anthropic is thrilled to claim, but this colossal fuck up was obviously the work of a rogue intern or something.
I wonder if there’s going to be a point in the future where we all look back at this massive over-investment and kick ourselves for making so much expensive electronics waste.
It’s the missing GitHub status page.
GitHub is teetering on one 9 over an entire quarter. There are serious, systemic problems in Microsoft’s shop.
How have I never heard about Kanopy? This looks so cool!
This line of thinking would make a lot more sense if there wasn’t a long, storied history of Trump completely ignoring sycophants when they’re not immediately useful to him. You’d expect someone like Carney to know better. It’s enough to make a person physically cringe.
Makes sense to track this since it’s one of the fastest growing consumers. I think it would also be interesting to track who is buying power infrastructure and in what quantity. Even basic power poles are backordered for years, so I shudder to think about the economic impact of a data center for a blank check tech company clawing in everything they can.
For top left I’d like to humbly nominate SCO Unix.
Gosh, I wonder what Iran thinks about that idea? The article has this to say:
And that’s it! Guess this one is still in the “concept of a plan” phase.
