My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT.
CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open.
DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open.
CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are.
DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

sometimes you pitch an article, black out, and then wake up 2000 words later with no real recollection how any of it happened www.pcgamer.com/games/strate...
I did Liberation Day tariffs in Victoria 3, and it all went well until the famine in Colorado, the 2 lost wars with Canada, and the president beating a man to death with a stick
But apart from that, would recommend.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

I haven't considered myself Catholic in 20+ years (though arguably they may still consider me one, since I was confirmed and never formally renounced)... but I admit, I've been enjoying following the coverage. #NoNewPopeToday

We don't use AI. One time AI unknowingly showed up in one of our stock photos we used and people correctly yelled at us until we took it down and figured out how it happened. We employ human artists who breathe and eat and make stuff with their corporeal limbs and brains.

Hey, who wants something nice?

So I was on tour this month, and when I was doing my event for the Princeton University Library and the Princeton Public Library, I ended up at the graveyard, where I found this gravestone:

Antony Green has called Dickson for the ALP - currently 30% counted, 10% swing. He says Dutton can’t win from here, even if pre-poll votes differ. #auspol #auselection2025 #ausvotes2025

I planned poorly, and now have a thing to go to which means abandoning my #AusVotes watch party. I look forward to checking in later, hopefully for the great potato mashing.

Senator James McGrath is as unlikeable as Senator James Patterson and their both as unlikeable to Peter Dutton.

Could Dutton lose his seat?! I'm not holding my breath, but oh wow that would be delightful. #AusPol
