Hold up. All this time they’ve said they killed Nasrullah because he wanted MORE war. Now they’re admitting they killed him because he wanted to STOP war. And Netanyahu killed at least 1000 civilians in the process.

This is utterly depraved. 61% of Americans and 77% of Democrats demand a stoppage of arms to Netanyahu. Stop arming him!

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”

VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

To those in the Portland metro area, if you use an aggregator site/app for local news what is it?

I like Apple News but it’s disappointingly bare for Portland area stuff. Google News has no such issues, but it doesn’t format articles at all and uses a gross custom in-app browser with no adblocking.

Me: Oh, there’s lightning in Vancouver.
Wife: I didn’t even know it was forecast to rain today. See, even when you’re on shift.
Me: Sorry, we’ve reached the season when I tell you days it’s not going to rain.

Oh my goodness I've just learned a thing about The Matrix that causes it to make a lot more sense: In the original script the humans were used as neural network compute clusters by the Machines and as a crucial component of The Matrix itself.

Which is why humans who were aware of the simulation could control aspects of The Matrix - their minds were part of its foundation.

Unfortunately the test audiences had trouble understanding this concept so the studio changed the human role to "batteries".
