Okay, makes more sense now

Earlier this month, I found myself in Nagpur, India, invited to cover the 100th anniversary of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS. My trip was sponsored by the Hudson Institute and the Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies, whose president is affiliated with RSS. After less than a day on the ground, still beset by jet lag, I was onstage overlooking a parade ground where thousands of men in identical uniforms — black garrison caps, shortsleeved white shirts and brown pants - marched and demonstrated martial arts and yoga before dignitaries including a former Indian president.

As someone who is a die-hard RSS user who is still mad about Google shutting down Reader, I found this headline rather confusing

Jim Geraghty
The RSS is a warning to all nations where populism is spiking

I genuinely need to know what”s wrong with #LoveisBlind victim Annie’s face and hair so I can avoid doing it. It seems like bad eyelash extensions + bad Botox that’s making her facial expressions so weird? And maybe bad hair extensions or clip-ins? It’s weirdly baffling

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Wow, they developed AI that works just like real doctors arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

AI medical tools found to downplay symptoms of women, ethnic minorities

Bias-reflecting LLMs lead to inferior medical advice for female, Black, and Asian patients.

Speak for yourself, George Soros just gave me an antifa company card so I can use it to book travel to protests around the country

Kieran Healy @kjhealy.co · 1d

It’s great to be paid for protesting and everything but let me tell you the whole antifa reimbursement process is just terrible

It’s also important to focus on what’s most actionable for most people. Many people live in apartments, in places with terrible public transit. But anyone of any income level can stop eating meat or, at the very least, reduce their use of animal products.

I’m so exhausted by all the comic book movies that are just remakes of the same plots over and over that I would have completely ignored “Kiss of the Spiderwoman” but for hearing a review on an NPR podcast. I wonder if the title will hurt the movie’s performance with other people too

If you had told me all of Mary in the Junkyard’s 2024-2025 singles had been off an album released in 1990, I would have absolutely believed you (complimentary)
