Skin seems a little undervalued.

You don’t have to be an expert in Israeli politics, the article lays it out for you

Israeli history has taught us that each and every surprise and crisis led to the collapse of the government. That was the case in 1973 [after the Yom Kippur War] with Golda Meir, in 1982 with Menachem Begin in the first Lebanon war, and in 2006, with Ehud Olmert, in the second Lebanon War.

Seems like 9/11 is not a good analogue because Israelis are less tolerant of government security failures than Americans are.

Unfortunately, the promotion to raccoon manager does not come with a salary bump.

I mean, if you give people a long weekend they’re gonna celebrate.

I don’t know any white people who sat around in solemn reflection last weekend, but I know plenty who had an extra day of partying.

i’m just saying framing this as “elon keeps losing” because his company’s system is working exactly as it was designed to is pretty dumb.

Obligatory “fuck Elon”, but starlink launches thousands of these things, with an expectation of losing some of them. This isn’t a problem, it’s how the system is designed.

This is like writing an article about how 45 of a frog’s eggs failed to hatch.

Id make better people use it

Does the G20 ever deliver results?

It’s good for leaders to get together and talk to each other. But expecting something concrete to come out of this seems silly. That’s not the point. The “declaration” will just be the usual “we agree to work together for the betterment of humanity” or some vague bullshit.

“content recommendation is only for stupid people” is a brand new form of gatekeeping that i haven’t heard before!

Mastodon is a good reminder of why algorithmic feeds exist

The option for a chronological feed is nice, but without an algorithm filling in the gaps it’s really hard to get started on there

Alternate version: Chinese authorities save city from flooding by diverting the waters to less populated areas, saving lives and minimizing financial losses

i doubt they want to take it that far, but i’ve got to assume at least some of putin’s cronies are thinking if they goad him into something stupid enough, they can get rid of him and take over for themselves.

“His father” in this summary refers to the father of one of the victims, not the father of the man accused of selling poison to suicidal people.
