my earliest memory of going to a movie theater is seeing the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie on release weekend with a handful of my friends for my 6th birthday party. Cowabunga!
After 35 years, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is back in theaters. The film's director looks back on the obstacles to making it in the first place.
Critics said 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' would flop. They underestimated Turtle Power

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved
Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada'
Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

The saga of the NYT's anti-Mamdani story taken from notorious white supremacist Jordan Lasker (they call him an "academic") gets even more amazing: Lasker's only impactful paper, which claimed white people are smarter, is infamous: it misused data so badly it got his tenured co-author fired. 2/

I wonder if some day the conversations about remote vs in person work for software development teams will have a realization about how elegantly mob/ensemble programming just kind of makes much of the debate just ... dissolve away
I'm a diehard remote person, but... The second half of this ^ is very true.
I'm convinced teamwork needs micro-communication. Like, imagine trying to cook a stew in the same kitchen as everyone and not being able to ask the other people how small they're cutting their vegetables.

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality.

A sickeningly grim move for the already cruel punishment we dole out for crime of being poor.
Remember: they also don't let you save up any money when you're on SSI
Remember: they also don't let you save up any money when you're on SSI
At 5 pm Fri, the Social Security Admin announced that it will withhold the *entire* Social Security benefits of overpaid seniors & people w/disabilities, even if not their fault—reversing a Biden-era reform that limited repayment to 10% of the monthly benefit.
This will cause needless suffering.
