If you are planning on spoiling your vote this Friday, I want you to know:
Your decision is stupid, and I do not respect it.
Pick your least-worst candidate like a goddamn grownup and move on.

Russian President Vladimir Putin influenced President Trump to downplay military support for Ukraine after a Thursday phone call.

It was the latest swing in Trump’s position on the war that often shifts following contact with Putin.
With a phone call, Putin appears to change Trump’s mind on Ukraine. Again.
It was the latest swing in Trump’s position on the war that often shifts following contact with Putin, who has shown skill in persuading the U.S. president.

Something I bring up in every conversation about Ghostbusters. Every bit of the geography is right! When you see the Marshmallow Man appear, that's Columbus Circle. When Louis runs across the street to a restaurant, it's Tavern on the Green. Something they didn't have to get right, but chose to.
The people of New York agreed, and made him mayor! CANON.
No real change to these traders’ faith in the Euro, Yen, Pound, etc. over the past year.
Only the dollar.

I feel like stuff like this is too often overlooked in discussions around technology-based mitigations of climate change. If we use tech innovations to make it easy and convenient for people to use the “greener” alternative that already exists, they’ll use it.
It’s possibly the album I listened to the most in the late 90s.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.
I wish this was a sign that gambling addiction was declining, instead of moving online and accelerating.

“In financial markets, a bubble occurs when the level of investment in an asset becomes persistently detached from the amount of profit that asset could plausibly generate,” Jared Bernstein and Ryan Cummings write in a guest essay. “A.I. investment fits that pattern.”
Opinion | The A.I. Bubble Looks Real
The A.I. boom is likely a speculative bubble. Like the dot-com bust and the housing crisis, its pop is going to hurt.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.

I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.
Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

The current Irish government is hostile to climate action #spéirgorm

"The report from this second stage was completed and sent [to DoCEE] eight months ago.

It has been sitting on the Minister for the Environment Darragh O’Brien’s desk ever since, awaiting publication, only partially leaked."
Eamon Ryan: Why is the Government delaying publication of the land use review?
Fears around the report are misplaced and it is long past time for it to be published

Note: this isn't a criticism of Richard Chambers reporting this, as this is news.
Eejit teacher defying a court order, bullying a student, and going to jail, is also news.
Nobody wants to mentor a barrister in training? Not news. But becomes news for reasons I can't understand.
I’m continually mystified by people trying to make the Burkes a thing. They’re a random family of oddballs. Why are they nationally famous? Why would *anyone* take time out of their day to harass a presidential candidate about them?
Main criticism I remember was taking a long time to grow as a character. There were a *lot* of issues with the "Nate distrusts the wrong person and lashes out" pattern. I don't think the Shaman thing really worked, but it was a proper attempt to push forward a character who felt a bit directionless.
Beast should be an A-list villain, not a B-list X-man.

Cyclops was not a great character from 1963 to 2001.

Claremont's writing went through a real dry spell from 1985 to 1990.

60s X-Men (with the exception of the Neal Adams issues), deserved cancellation.

Nate Grey is interesting, actually.
What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷
Particularly enjoying this idea for my copy of Lord Of The Rings.
