An Arab won the Nobel prize in chemistry last fucking year.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

This is 100% true. It's nothing but hand waving and wishcasting.

My second-hand impression of the Anthropic IPO filing is that basically says "we lose a country GDP's worth of money, we rely heavily on other tech companies to even exist, our tech may destroy the world in [86 pages of possibilities], we are worth 100 trillion dollars"

remember when Elon took over Twitter and was having the engineers document how many lines of code they were writing as if more was better and not a sign they were not very good at coding

OMG HBO Max has the once upon a time series streaming, I know what I’m watching next.

I can’t decide between Once Upon a Time in China and The Legend. It’s been too long since I’ve seen them. Somebody stole my DVDs in the early 2000s :(

Name your fav 90s Asian Film.

This is fucking insane. There is no valid reason for her to be involved in diplomacy.

#JAIIIIIIT is the new 𝐙𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒! We’re witnessing his rapid decline in real time

Trump: "If you don't want communists controlling the US Senate, which is between JAIIIIIIT"

This is so fucked up. The kids were taken away from the family and the only reason the bastard wasn't prosecuted was because he and the mom fled the state. He was a wanted fugitive until he died in 2004. Vance might be a bigger piece of shit than Trump.

JD Vance: "Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and call Amy Acton a liar"

Being as generous as possible, this is 0.25% of the US daily usage of diesel. It won't make any difference to the price, but gives Russia money to help Iran kill Americans.

Russia is sending its first tanker carrying diesel fuel to the United States on Thursday 22 October. Novak said the tanker will be carrying 40,000 tonnes of diesel and that further shipments will follow. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Omar became a US citizen in 2000, before cell phones were even capable of containing immigration data. There is no reason for her cell phone to be reviewed. Well, there's no reason to be investigating at all. Why is the search warrant under seal? What exactly caused the judge to sign it?

Nita Cosby@5-2blue.bsky.social

The House GOP’s imminent decision on the Omar raid Speaker Mike Johnson has yet to weigh in on the speech-or-debate implications of the raid, though the House has sometimes taken weeks to articulate a position in other investigations. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Apparently there is a mandatory question about BDS that is set at the national level. That alone disqualifies DSA for me. Why single out Israel for BDS when China is committing gcide on the Uyghurs? You’re happy to buy all your shit from them.

Mike Nellis@mikenellis.bsky.social

The fact that DSA is even considering expelling Nithya Raman weeks before the election tells you what a deeply unserious organization it is at the national level.

This is the ducking President of the United States. What a disgrace.

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

these leaks are illegal under the federal securities laws, the sec doesn't care, etc etc

Anthropic S-1 leaks from the WSJ - $16.3bn in 1H revenue (vs $1.1bn in 1H '25) - Nearly $9bn in compute spend - $450bn of future compute obligations (over next 7-10 years) - 1H net loss of $80.7bn (but only $8.7bn ex convertibles valuation changes - Very close to breakeven on an operating basis

There needs to long prison terms for this rampant theft in this administration, on both sides. Whomever authorized it and whomever receives the cash. This will continue as long as people get away with it, or just receive a slap on the wrist.

That’s not even how it works. The test has three animals and you name all three.

Trump: "The first one is they show you a lion, a bear, a snake, and a giraffe. And they say, 'Which one is the giraffe?' I got a perfect score."

I hope we get a Congress that cares about consumer protection again. Two years ago 1x10 board meant the actual size was .75 x 9.75 inches. It's been like that since forever, supposedly to account for milling loss, even though that's BS. Now it can mean either .75 or .719 x 9.25 inches.

That's not even close to the advertised size. It fucks up projects due to the new sizes too. Plywood has been consistently shrinking as well. Retailers can sell whatever size they want, but they need to stop grossly mislabeling the size. A 1x4 board is 1x3.5, so they are not even the same width.
