I assume that Zerzan, the DOT’s general counsel, has no idea that there are two more words after “flood the zone” in that saying, or how appropriate they are in this instance. 😑

Want to be very clear to anyone even remotely thinking about coming to events like GDC: Don't. It's not safe to be in the US, nobody's hiring or financing anyway, and it's not worth your life.

The answer is yes. It's hard to stress how important Linux is about to be.

As Adelaide sets a new record for its hottest Australia Day, other parts of SA are enduring conditions that are even more sweltering, with the mercury climbing above 49C in Ceduna.

In fact, the weirdest part: sustained purring doesn't require *brain involvement at all*.

There are fibrous pads in the throat (plica vocalis) that are set in motion by an impulse, then SELF-SUSTAIN the purring until the breathing pattern stops.

It's "flow-induced self-sustained oscillation" 🧪😸
Domestic cat larynges can produce purring frequencies without neural input
Cat purring has been assumed to be produced by centrally controlled cyclic contractions of intrinsic laryngeal muscles, but Herbst et al. now show that cat larynges can generate purring-like sounds vi...

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS:

Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring.

Here's a weird starting point:
There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr.

Cats that roar = genus Panthera
Cats that purr = genus Felis

new kind of 21st century weather app weather just dropped
Per witness, ICE/CBP used enough tear gas earlier tonight in response to their hotel being swarmed and exposed that University Avenue was “foggy,” coated in a layer of smoke that burned his eyes and throat as soon as he opened his front door.

Outside a Minneapolis hotel is a lone agent, swaying, baffled, with a bloody nose he may have given himself, fumbling with the pin of a smoke grenade, demanding to see the MPD (which weren't there), and trying to hold his gun between his knees.

Can't make this shit up.

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.
Minneapolis, MN -

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

Fun fact: until the 16th century, "puppy" didn't refer to a dog's age but it's size: a small folk-like dog women would carry around for fashion.

The word for young dogs was whelp

Shakespeare referred to them as "puppi-dogges"

At about 1m20 the most non-elite US mall ninja shows up with a bafflingly seemingly self inflicted bleeding nose, tucks a shotgun under his taint before tossing a munition canister god knows where, then starts shooting at journalists. If you saw this in a war videogame you’d think it was broken.
Federal officers just came in and cleared the protest with tear gas. One officer asked press why we didn’t call 911 when the protesters were destroying the hotel and told us that we are bad Americans. Full video to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

The reason why they're still pressing ahead is not because they have some secret plan, but the pretty classic Umberto Eco fascist-folly - because of their ideology they are "constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."

Fun fact: the global wellness industry, composed mostly of unregulated snake oil, is at about $6.32 trillion dollars a year, 4x larger than the pharmaceutical industry.

Similarly, Roblox is worth $44 billion to Valve's $10 billion. Roblox has more concurrent users than Steam.

1033 lets the federal government *lend* these dipshits military gear, they have to return it if they haven't used it.

They have to cram that cosplay shit in somewhere or uncle sam takes it back.

One of the reasons these 287(g) deputized ICE assholes wear night vision goggles on their tac helmets in daylight and other absurd LARP shit, is that the 1033 program that gives them these toys has a string attached that they have to actually *use* them or the federal government takes its toys back.

Dr Strangelove came out in 1964.

It is literally named after the character who is German scientific advisor to the US president and who has a nervous tic of sieg heiling.

Operation Paperclip was not exactly a well kept secret.
