NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

“We are going to destroy the internet and social media” seems like an awesome business plan.

Give this guy $100 billion to buy GPUs and burn electricity.

"One of the reasons we release technology like this is we see something coming and know that in some number of months or years it's gonna be widely available through open source models." - Sam Altman when asked about Sora being used to make realistic deepfakes and people removing its watermarks.

Like what the flipping fuck. This guy is this close to man the barricades.

(The article is great, and it sounds like the kind of stuff college radicals would write. It is bizarre).

David fucking Brooks embrazing Alinsky and speaking like a radical organizer is something to behold.

Why the hell moderate former republicans sound more forceful than most Dems is beyond me.

Look, this is OUR chance to reinstate the Habsburg monarchy here.

(And in the EU. The EU needs a head of state).

Guy whose concern about the No Kings rally is that there’s a lot of evidence constitutional monarchies do a better job than republics of avoiding personalistic politics.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Free comic idea: Batman, but as a guy who read too many comic books, believed they were real, and became a crime fighter with his loyal sidekick Robin.

Basically, Batman-as-Don-Quijote.

Alguien tiene que hacer una versión de Batman como superhéroe quijotesco. Y hacerla AYER.

No, lo que tienes son combinaciones infinitas de monos tecleando una letra de un libro simultáneamente en una variación infinita de extensiones.

Alguien tendrá el número exacto de caracteres del Quijote y el libro exacto.

No si colocas a los monos en paralelo. 😅

Roger Senserrich @4freedoms.es · 17h

Si tenemos un número infinito de monos con un número infinito de máquinas de escribir, no necesitan una cantidad infinita de tiempo para escribir El Quijote. Escribirían todo el contenido posible al instante.

La cantidad infinita de tiempo es si no tienes un suministro realmente infinito de monos.

Spain has an ongoing fight about the need to spell "solo" as "sólo" when it is used an adverb or not.

(I am strongly in support of "sólo", the traditional spelling. Fuck simplification.)

I remain convinced that 'The Big Short' should be compulsory school economics education viewing.

It should be compulsory everyone viewing as the US economy seems like it intends to replicate every mistake made with AI in plain view

Good thing it's only the entire economy propped up by this right now.

Is it time for Barcelona to begin developing the "Lower Llobregat River Agricultural Park" as a dense urban extension? It is 25 square kilometers of agricultural land. (1/2)

Some of it is on a floodplain. Most, it is pure insane NIMBYism.

Barcelona has a famous, even more stupid, massive plot of farmlands in its metro area. Note Hospitalet is the densest city in Europe.

Monte del Pardo have been the Royal hunting grounds since at least the 15th century. It is a very rare case of completely untouched forest area in Europe.

So untouched is not even open to visitors at all.

That section is just farmland, zone as farmland. Changing zoning is hard.
