These always have an inherently transcendent quality; presumably this is what Heidegger meant by letting technology be itself and thereby reveal being-in-itself, rather than instrumentalize being by reducing it to mere objecthood, thingness. I welcome your block, I accept it as an inevitability.

In a just world this man would be shamed into committing suicide on national television.

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."

Blaming the left for opportunistic and ultimately meaningless ratfucking in ‘24 ahead of a potentially historic midterm landslide? Preparing to learn zero lessons again, I see.

I’m telling you, landslide defeat incoming. The polls cannot be right.

WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda? MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan

Michigan's defense has held all 7 opponents to 20 points or fewer. Since 2014, FBS teams that do that win 87% of the time. Michigan is 4-3. Jason Beck has to go. Now. Here's the data. 🧵

lol if you learned too much about viral spillover last go-round then you know this is extremely, suicidally bad. This is almost comically too on-the-nose in re: how the next (and far more devastating) pandemic would happen under RFK Jr. I want to run into the mountains, man.

ProPublica@propublica.org

NEW: A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a Utah mink farm for two months. Flu experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. But officials haven’t acted — instead prioritizing the financial interests of the fur trade.

Can someone confirm the Criterion 50% off flash sale is not a very well done dupe resulting from the big TLS certs disaster? I am about to hand over my information for around 50 discs.

Will increasingly inattentive motorists check their blind spots when moving across a dedicated bike lane to take Carey down to Depot? No. Will they easily adapt to a new traffic pattern? No Will they start treating the alley next to The Garnet as New Carey? Yes.

#A2council is crossing Carey St as a pedestrian a good experience? No. But is it a good experience as a cyclist? Also no. With that out of the way, is it a good experience turning right off Carey as a driver? Also no.

We need more bike lanes, also introducing them isn’t just a 100% frictionless safety win that can ignore how the city cannot develop fast enough to reduce commuter congestion baked in from decades of inaction.

Ok, but what percentage is that of the median American’s lifetime earnings? Wait let me pull up some data on cash windfalls I swear it’s relevant.

Cocktail party disaster incoming.

REPORTER: …violence in the West Bank. RUBIO: We’ve asked the Israelis and continue to ask them to crack down on that stuff. REPORTER: …one of the first decisions [Trump] took was to lift sanctions against the settlers. RUBIO: Yeah, I understand, but he doesn’t want to see what’s happening now.

Weak people get a full night’s rest in order to be able to process their various stressors and face challenging events with equanimity. But strong people are up right now tapping their dopamine stores and watching the N00O game.

Video review isn’t good enough. We need quantum review. We need to figure out if there is just one electron in the universe—could have huge implications on the playoff.

Pretty surreal how sharing a traumatic story about my daughter's birth elicited someone to call it "insane bullshit". I was just trying to contextualize why people are right to call our healthcare system dogshit, and also why you don't have to be an asshole if you disagree.

Eoin Higgins@eoinhiggins.bsky.social

I'd suggest sneering "insane bullshit" at someone for feeling stressed out about having to handle hours on the phone over a half million dollar bill after dealing with a birth and NICU stay is why people can't stand you

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car that poops out of a butthole, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist.

I am impressed by the one-off moon lander car JPL could have rigged up a ‘94 taurus to do 32 years ago, which we are only seeing now because a pot bellied weeb nazi has the IRL infinite money hack, and which is just an ad for a shitty $50k EV. I am apparently every retail investor on earth.

I’m not saying it is an absurd and conspicuous form of vague third way apologia for someone like Jane to lump Anna (past or present) in with any form of left politics, but I’m not not saying that.

Jane Coaston@janecoaston.bsky.social

I'm not saying every "dirtbag leftist" was and is an amoral garbage bag, but I'm not not saying that.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
