As any military strategist knows, port cities are always particularly vulnerable to amphibian assault.

I wish to see more journalists doing what @hellgatenyc.com and @404media.co are doing and fewer doing the solo patreon route. I want to pay a collective for my news not one person. Seems like a successful model.

Whenever anyone says how much of the U.S. economy is tied to AI right now, I'm like...damn, what if a single rich person had any idea other than "try to zero out labor costs through theft."

It absolutely *is* polite! Cooperative overlap is a supportive and loving way of talking. There are only, like.. one or two cultures where it's _not_ considered polite, and they can go fuck themselves if they think the rest of us have to conform lol www.anildash.com/2021/09/26/c...

the way I converse with other adhd/autistic people is very different than how I talk with neurotypical folks.

The politeness question also asks us to infer that the interrupter either doesn’t care what the speaker has to say or assumes they know what the speaker will say, but I find that more often than not, it actually indicates excitement or passion or deep curiosity about the topic being discussed.

I know it’s not technically polite, but I love having a conversation with other people who are comfortable with short interjecting interruptions. To me it makes the conversation feel more like something we’re weaving together rather than alternating individual presentations. It feels more alive.

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

Some scoops in here: Adam O'Neal is telling people he will helm The WaPo's flagship opinion podcast, spending upwards of four hours a day on it. He's also indicated, per a source, that he plans to remain in his current job for decades. www.status.news/p/washington...

imo people who dislike the expansive view of feminism that Doyle describes were never interested in fighting for the rights of anyone besides themselves in the first place.

that “don’t buy this product if you enjoy [list of terrible problems that could be solved by buying the product]” marketing strategy doesn’t work on me because I just go, “FINE, I WON’T! YOU CAN’T MAKE ME!!!!!”

Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

I think it's starting to be forgotten that joining the National Guard was originally a commitment to to serve in unforeseen emergencies, almost always natural disasters. You might get called up every second or third hurricane season. The second Gulf War changed all that and now... now, what is this?

How the national guard call-ups are screwing students who joined in hopes of.l being able to afford college.

whenever I see “woah,” my brain pronounces it with two syllables like “woe-uh”
merriam-webster.com
Let’s talk about ‘whoa.’

First of all, ‘woah’ is not yet considered an established spelling variant of ‘whoa.’

While ‘woah’ has grown in prevalence since the late 20th century, ‘whoa’ is still about 5 times as common as ‘woah.’

A useful feature on here would be a way for people to tag their own posts as ꜱᴘᴏʀᴛꜱ for when they’re just posting HOLY SHIT or THIS GUY out of context
