For me, cinnamon life cereal was the only great cereal until I had this Mom's Best Cereal Oats & Honey Blend - corn and wheat flakes with oat clusters. Not sure how innovative, but damn tasty

Referencing Lenin's propaganda is always a good sign the person is an idiot
From V.I. Lenin "The State and Revolution" - And so in capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority. Communism alone is capable of providing really complete democracy, and the more complete it is, the sooner it will become unnecessary and wither away of its own accord.

It should be obvious that since Trump is talking, he's lying, but we spend around $5B on NATO related expenditures, which is about what he wanted to spend on his dumb border wall last time he was in office.
www.taxpayer.net/national-sec...
The direct costs of U.S. participation in NATO are far more modest than the nearly $900 billion in national security spending just authorized by Congress in the FY 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. NATO’s direct costs to member nations, often referred to as “common funding,” came to €4.6 billion in 2024, or about $4.7 billion in U.S. dollars, with each member nation contributing a percentage of their Gross National Income (GNI). U.S. contributions accounted for about 16 percent of these common funds in 2024—roughly $753 million. That’s less than 0.1 percent of total U.S. military expenditures. Military construction costs and funding for joint military exercises can add a bit more on top of that, but those costs vary from year to year and are generally lower than U.S. contributions to NATO’s common funds. Another source of direct U.S. contributions to NATO is included as part of a broader pot of money for the European Deterrence Initiative, a program that works “to enhance the capability and readiness of U.S. Forces, NATO Allies, and regional partners of the U.S. for a faster response to any aggression in Europe and transnational threats by a regional adversary against the sovereign territory of NATO nations.” In its Fiscal Year 2025 request, the Pentagon requested $3.9 billion “for European deterrence and countering Russian aggression including the European Deterrence Initiative (EDI), NATO support, and NATO Security Investment Program.” It’s difficult to say exactly which portion of EDI could be counted as direct contributions to NATO, partly because funding through this program is not a requirement of NATO membership, and partly because some of the funds are focused solely on U.S. military capabilities

The best and worst of humanity in one place. Maintaining solidarity in such conditions is astounding
From the article: "“The whole prison would sing for two or three days before the hanging, to ease the terror of the victims,” Dr. Christie recalled at a 2013 conference at the University of the Western Cape on laws regarding torture. Then he recited the lyrics of an anti‐apartheid folk song that reverberated in the penitentiary: “‘Senzeni-na? Senzeni-na? What have we done? What have we done?’ It was the most beautiful music on earth, sung in a vile place.” Editors’ Picks The 17 Best Bagels in New York City Right Now A Mustardy Winter Jacket and Two Lush Fur Coats They Left Their Empty Nest for a Fresh Start in Helena, Montana “At zero dark hundred,” he continued, “the hanging party would come through the corridors to the gallows, slamming the gates behind them on the road to death. Once they were at the gallows there was a long pause. Then — crack! — the trapdoors would open, and the neck or necks of the condemned would snap. A bit later came the hammering, presumably of nails into the coffins.”"

You can also get the STRUMP sneakers if you want.
I know they think the dollar sign is cool, but it just makes them look like knock-off trump sneakers, which already look like knock-off PUMAs

In 2021, PDVSA released a report saying what it would take to just bring their infrastructure back to normal - $89B. I'm sure that was optimistic and it doesn't include actually modernizing the infrastructure, ports etc. plus military support. These people are idiots.

How does Venezuela compare to Iraq? More than 2x as large, 89% urbanized vs 69% in Iraq, just as hot all year round but almost twice as humid.

When one of your key takeaways is wrong, it's hard to take anything else seriously.
I don't know how many places I've worked where people with difficult personalities held top jobs because they were top performers or they had a relationship with management that kept them in their job.
Screenshot from the Key Takeaways section at the top of the article: "Personality fit is real — individuals sort into occupations where their personality traits are valued and earn higher wages when their traits align with occupational demand."

Screenshot from Pirate Wire article - "Sometimes, she completely misstates facts — for instance, that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was right-wing, and that prominent Republicans blamed “the left” to incite violence against their political enemies — to suit that narrative, misleading her very devoted, large readership."

This article by @deenamousa.com about the problem with radiology screening shows this very well:
www.understandingai.org/p/ai-isnt-re...
Besides, you can't teach someone English using only appliance repair manuals and then expect them to write a decent sonnet.
Screenshot from the article: Three things explain this. First, while models beat humans on benchmarks, the standardized tests designed to measure AI performance, they struggle to replicate this performance in hospital conditions. Most tools can only diagnose abnormalities that are common in training data, and models often don’t work as well outside of their test conditions. Second, attempts to give models more tasks have run into legal hurdles: regulators and medical insurers so far are reluctant to approve or cover fully autonomous radiology models. Third, even when they do diagnose accurately, models replace only a small share of a radiologist’s job. Human radiologists spend a minority of their time on diagnostics and the majority on other activities, like talking to patients and fellow clinicians.
