I found out that my nephew's wife is getting her US citizenship and I am severely conflicted about what I should say to her.
Maybe "congratulations" but with a question mark?

What's the polymarket odds for polymarket being taken down by a competing gambling cartel?
A finger on the scales of justice.
So an avowed racist shoots 45 people and kills 23 in Texas in 2019 and gets a plea deal with a life sentence instead of the death penalty.
Meanwhile Luigi Mangione shoots and kills the CEO of UnitedHeathcare and the DOJ directs prosecutors to seek the death penalty.
I'm not pro death penalty but how exactly is this an equal application of justice?

The new DA campaigned on seeking the death penalty for the 2019 massacre, but said he offered the gunman a plea deal of life in prison to avoid dragging out the case for several more years.
Existential quitters.
Anybody else worried that if AI destroys or enslaves us we'll be known the universe over as the species that can't finish what we start.
* It's gonna be tough to repair that kind of reputational damage when they google us.
Y’all, the Secretary of Scotch is out here embarrassing us in public again. Quoting Tarantino as though it were gospel. Literally.
These fake Xtians have never ever read the book they wave. Truly, my brothers and sisters, if you see anyone wearing diamond crucifixes, and proclaiming the name of the Prophet while besmirching his works, you can know that they are disciples of Mammon and Baal, and we need give them nothing but disdain.
I refer them to Matthew 7:23. (Ya know, an actual bible quote.) edit to say, ima drop a comment that is just bible quotes, so folks have ammo for this fight)

I can't really explain the context or train of thought that led me here, but I thought it was funny in a very dark 21st century kinda way, and thought you might also get a brief "heh right?" wry amusement, and in this times, even that can feel a relief.
So, I wonder how much money it's costing Russia, Israel and China to form a human "iron dome" around our Demented in Chief to stop all the assassins who have surely tried.
(Dear 3initial agencies, this is what's known as humor. Perhaps not good humor, I'm not a humorist. I am also not making a threat against anyone. I do have champagne ready though, just in case. )

Good morning for what I hope is NOT the last normal day of our existence.
If it turns out that today is the last normal day, then I wish us all good luck in the coming apocalyptic dystopia.
If someone has a chance, maybe scratch out a few words on a rock somewhere explaining why we stood by and let a moron steer the world into destruction.
Get a helmet, dark sunglasses and some lip-balm at the store today if you have the chance. 😔
Great!
Gaussian Splats - yet another new technology to help us lie and deceive one another.
Add it to the pile I suppose.
Nothing is real but the lie anymore.
P.S. I'm betting porn is going to love this tech.

Oh, you know what’s really fun about Ellison Panopticon Datacenters of Doom?
AI data centers are creating "data heat islands" that can increase local land surface temperatures by an average of 2°C (3.6°F), with extreme cases recording rises up to 9.1°C (16.4°F). These facilities, which produce massive amounts of waste heat from high-energy computing, impact surrounding areas up to 10 kilometers away, affecting over 340 million people worldwide.
So that’s exciting!
Reported initially by New Scientist, but it’s paywalled and archive links no longer work for me. Archive.org I guess has beef with some backbone provider and I’m caught in infinite captcha hell. 🤷🏻♀️
