My first thought was, he lied in every word,
That hoary cripple, with malicious eye
Askance to watch the working of his lie
On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford
Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored
Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby.

Important clarification:

“There's no specific advantage to casting in a channel if you're focused on maximizing distribution.”

“All of us would be embarrassed if we weren’t getting better. That, for me, is an ongoing quest, because I think I’ve always thought of myself as not really that good. So I constantly keep trying to get better.”

I just wish we had some clue as to who the unidentified perpetrators are. I mean, who would be attacking children in Gaza?

“Critical food aid lifelines into northern Gaza severed,” says UN World Food Program as it conspicuously avoids pointing fingers.

Gee, who do you suppose severed those food aid lifelines? Who would want to starve the people of Gaza?

I think about this song and video about once or twice a month. Peak '80s glam pop from David Lee Roth with a pre-CGI music video that combines flamboyant concert performance with shots of the actual Roth scrambling across the face of Half Dome. Oh, and Steve Vai shreds on a triple-neck guitar shaped like giant heart. I mean, c'mon!

Rocket-building billionaire guardian of life on Earth continues enriching himself by ignoring environmental protection regulations and threatening life on Earth

“A review of state and federal records by NPR, including some obtained through a freedom of information request, shows how SpaceX has sometimes ignored environmental regulations as it rushed to fulfill its founder’s vision. With each of its launches, records show, the company discharged tens of thousands of gallons of what regulators classify as industrial wastewater into the surrounding environment.”

… also, it’s got what plants crave — it’s got electrolytes

It’s like Iron Man and the xenomorph from “Alien” had a baby and then reverse-honey-i-shrunk-the-kids’ed it and turned its head into a next-gen Toyota Previa.

you and i, we swim in the unbearable sadness of good ideas that have few who appreciate them and fewer still with the means and desire to realize them

dear diary, today i again struggled to read impossibly small text in a warpcast frame on my iphone. just like before, i tried to pinch-to-zoom but nothing happened. i’m such an idiot and totally unworthy of love or respect.

UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon (UNIFIL):

“This morning, two peacekeepers were injured after an IDF Merkava tank fired its weapon toward an observation tower at UNIFIL’s headquarters in Naqoura, directly hitting it and causing them to fall. The injuries are fortunately, this time, not serious, but they remain in hospital.

“IDF soldiers also fired on UN position (UNP) 1-31 in Labbouneh, hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system. An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance.

“Yesterday, IDF soldiers deliberately fired at and disabled the position’s perimeter-monitoring cameras. They also deliberately fired on UNP 1-32A in Ras Naqoura, where regular Tripartite meetings were held before the conflict began, damaging lighting and a relay station.”

I just finished calling and writing the White House and my congressional delegation. Seeking to avoid war with Iran, uphold the Leahy Law, and halt weapons transfers to Israel amid credible allegations of war crimes against civilians, including children, aid workers, and journalists.

"Adjusted for inflation, total U.S. military aid to Israel stands at $251.2 billion across
66 years (1959–2024)."

"The patchwork government reporting on U.S. military aid to
Israel contrasts sharply with the treatment of military aid to Ukraine, where dollar
amounts, channels of delivery, and specific systems supplied (including how many) are
routinely reported in government-supplied fact sheets on a regular basis."
