"sunlight suite" is great branding we should all be plagiarizing
I’m at the launch of Oregon’s design competition for sunlight suite buildings - neighborhood-scale mulifamily buildings designed around one central staircase.

“This is one of those innovations whose time has come,” says Gil Kelley of @1000oregon.bsky.social.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.
My favourite part playing Zerg.
there's not enough video games where you get to shoot Confederates or, even better, Neo-Confederates. it's pretty much just Bioshock Infinite.
Related: I'm plowing through Chernow's bio of Grant and it's got a lot in it to savor if you like reading about Confederates getting their asses kicked and their evil hopes blighted.

Sherman is just about to jump off and I can hardly wait.
Hunter Thompson puts the high water mark in the La Madre range. And now the hangover. You have to get a mortgage and pay full price to a boomer.
That is the problem with settler colonialism. Eventually, you run out of other peoples land to sell.
My war nerd urges expired last century, just recently revived. I have no idea what’s actually in service anywhere. But deliberate high airburst is my favourite story, if only because it is so bonkers.
lol. I’m a nobody whiling away a cold by wasting your time on a warm Sunday evening.
I’m mostly joking. But the m782 does have a timed mode. But a short round, and confused witnesses sounds likeliest.
I’m not sure which I find more unlikely: mechanical failure, or some crazy gunner timing an airburst to rattle the VP’s motorcade. It’s a weird time.
It’s a timed airburst, no? Maybe some gunner knew Vance’s schedule, and has a spicy sense of humour.
They’re all drinking from the same foul pools, so it shouldn’t surprise when they cough up the same bile.
This is all terrible under justice, and the law. I hate to quibble, but you can’t claim “even the mad Americans haven’t said anything that wild” when they very much have.
This is all just words on the wind until it isn’t. Rubio has claimed unreviewable authority to revoke green cards, and the Miller wing of the party is actively pursuing “remigration” of settled immigrants. www.axios.com/2025/05/30/s...
State Department seeking to create an "Office of Remigration" in wide restructuring
Critics note that the term "remigration" has been used by far-right groups in Europe.

I don’t think that’s quite true. Trumpists use “remigration” freely. Rubio has revoked green cards. And several stories report deportations from people arriving to their last interview before green card issuance.

This is truly shocking for the UK, but not beyond the Miller wing of Trump.
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

I've loved this bird ever since it was invented by Jim Henson in 1977
The greatest bird in the universe has finally won Australia's bird of the year. ALL HAIL THE TAWNY FROGMOUTH! www.theguardian.com/environment/...
Mass production, process control, double-entry accounts, and so many other technologies are social and almost invisible technologies. But an enormous share of our common inheritance.
mass production and consistent quality control *is* a technology, and as important as the sturmgewehr is developmentally the benefits of the design approach are not really realized until postwar - with the AK-47, the postwar stamped Franchi designs, and the CETME developments
All the gun nuts & wehraboos love the Sturmgewehr pioneering a lightweight mag-fed carbine firing intermediate rounds... meanwhile during WWII the US produced more M1 carbines than M1 Garands
Far enough left, you get your guns back.
"anti-patriotic gun-owning veteran psychedelic-taking small-business owner" is actually an extremely common Maine Type and it won't hurt Platner unless he lets it

They have power shell, with text (json) bindings for most of dcom and their apps. An MCP should be doable.
He was perfect. Kept the whole muddle from collapsing.
It’s been a while, but I remember my reaction as comely waif more than majestic queen. It inverted the relationship. My main complaint is pace. There are some wonderful episodes early developing the situation, and then whoosh - over the sea.
The first season feels rushed. Gaul to Egypt could have been a few seasons alone.
I thought we already had the Harvard Business Review.
Remember when Danielle Smith thought she had the power of clemency because she thought “premiere” was just a weird Canadian affectation for Governor?
