The Cynics had five core principles:
1. Ἀρετή (Aretē) – Virtue as the Only Good
2. Αὐτάρκεια (Autarkeia) – Self-Sufficiency
3. Παραρρησία (Parrēsia) – Frank Speech
4. Ἀναίδεια (Anaideia) – Shamelessness
5. Κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν (Kata physin zēn) – Living According to Nature
These are the Way of the Dog.

Accounts immediately posting that some terrible event means "martial law" or "civil war" are either thoughtless or feds. Neither of these are inevitable, and also neither would require an instigating event if the administration really wanted to do it. Do yrself a favor and block 'em.

Cheesecake with a graham cracker crust is the clear winner. A little cake, a little pie, can be vegan, can be a little savory (goat cheese and olive oil, drizzled with aged balsamic).
Clear winner.

A very unwelcome effect of Mamdani's visit to the White House is the sudden reversion of Trump back into an 'entertainment' figure, shoving Epstein, extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean, and threats to execute members of Congress off the media table in favor of 'goofy uncle' photo ops

Given the number of death threats a friend has received for using AI this past year, I’m not surprised by this.
SCOOP: OpenAI employees in San Francisco were told to stay inside the office on Friday afternoon after the company purportedly received a threat from an individual who was previously associated with the Stop AI activist group.
OpenAI Locks Down San Francisco Offices Following Alleged Threat From Activist
A message on OpenAI’s internal Slack claimed the activist in question had expressed interest in “causing physical harm to OpenAI employees.”

Look, I'm sorry, but in spite of his obvious skills in the arcane arts, Mamdani doesn't have a hat. He may be a "powerful sorcerer" or an "advanced magus," but until we see the hat, we won't be able to grant him official status.
How to be a “real” Wizard Step 3:
Get a hat. It doesn't have to be pointy, but it's essential to have some kind of hat over and above a simple hood. You can have more than one (I have a dozen probably), but you need at least one that is specific to wizardry.

If you're whimsical, occasionally do something scary, dark, or mysterious. If you're scary, dark, or mysterious, occasionally fart, loudly, in polite company.

Recognize that evil Wizards are very real and very dangerous but there aren’t that many of them. Most people we think are evil Wizards are actually just rich white guys.

How to be a “real” Wizard Step 8:
Wizards are patient with, and kind to, children. Crying babies on an airplane do not upset or annoy a Wizard; instead, a Wizard will offer to help the frustrated parents. Only an evil or dark wizard would make disliking children part of their personality.

Having participated in the very first (unsuccessful) Amazon organizing effort outside of the warehouses 25 years ago , I am SO CHUFFED this is my next Mayor.
Proud to stand in solidarity with dining workers at LavishRoots, who feed Meta's campuses here in the Seattle area. The right to organize and bargain are essential to our region's economy. LavishRoots, do the right thing: agree to a fair process for union recognition by December 1st! #thisisyourcity
Tech dining workers and allies packed the room last night to announce a new deadline for LavishRoots, Meta's cafeteria operator in Bellevue, Redmond, and SoDo. By December 1st, we demand Lavish end their anti-union campaign and agree to a fair process for union recognition!

In 2028 I will vote for whoever will send Stephen Miller to The Hague.
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.
