At a certain point, fast air travel amounts to building reusable civilian ICBMs.
Wait... so you're saying that supersonic flights won't be $100 like this headline says?

I refuse to believe that on ALF's Own Bluesky I am the first person to widely note what the upside-down pineapple means, I was here in The Before Times, when the whole damn site was basically a deeply horny polycule, WE ALL KNEW OKAY
Oh, so you're the originator. I heard this from someone else, and was wondering where they learned this from.

this is particularly loathsome when you look at the current state of the oregon republican party, who, like all blue state republican parties, have chosen to go stark-raving mad rather than trying to moderate even a small amount to fit the state they want to represent

Whoever at Google thought it was a good idea to make the Gmail mobile app search results default to "most relevant" instead of "most recent":
That was a terrible idea and you should feel bad about yourself for having had it.

YES. Sugared nuts just don't have enough going on flavor-wise IMO.
I think Pecan Pie is one of those things that is divisive now because it’s just a blob of sugar with nuts on it but to someone 150 years ago who ate shoes it was probably like having 12 orgasms at once

This is a great essay! A lot of anti-science or “fiscal conservative” types are quick to go “we spent how much on shrimp treadmills!?!?!” when in reality these experiments can lead to huge scientific breakthroughs. Also I’d rather my tax money goes to scientists then like, building more bombs or w/e
Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly.
Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help!

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

What apparently everyone except Senate Democrats understands is that the survival of Democrats, perhaps literally, depends on Trump hitting Ceaușescu levels of unpopularity.
This goal is not helped if Senate Democrats do anything at all to reduce the harm Trump is inflicting on the American people.

I'll take this one step further: The city-imposed design and facade mandates are often created based on community engagement processes. So the same people who contributed to these standards might be the ones who later complain about new projects looking ugly
What if I told you they all look *like that* because of city-imposed design and facade mandates, not because people (or developers) like them?

Alberta has collected more than $1 billion in cannabis revenue.
That's the most, per capita, of all provinces and territories.
By far.
It's nearly quadruple what Quebec has collected, per person.
