I suppose it only makes sense a Russian troll farm was trying to reignite The Troubles
Not sure that would have properly conveyed their desire for a United Ireland, tbh.
my most dad-core belief is that the IRA should have been called the Defeat Inflation Program (DIP) so that it better paired with the other signature Biden policy -- the CHIPS act.

Elon finally sharing his stash.
Trump has posted 160 times in the last 4 hours but the vast majority have been in the last hour. He's posting videos and then he reposts the same video with someone else's post about it. Mostly. I think #BoatGate has him a bit upset. It's almost midnight ET.

Just what is it that makes today's White House so different, so appealing?
looking at the full sized photo, I don't *think* it's photoshopped, but there is something weird happening with the lighting and perspective here.
the other thing I'll note is that both photos are relatively low res (left insta [1440x1920px], right twitter [2000x3000px], which may add to this

This was partly my logic in buying an EV instead of a PHEV. Once EVs got reasonably priced (2017), why would I want the hassle & weight of two separate systems?
Lots of studies showing a similar result: people who buy "plug-in hybrids" do not, as a rule, plug them in. They are mostly used & operated as gas cars.
(My take is, EVs are improving so fast, PHEVs are gonna look like a silly kludge w/in 5 years or so, well within the lifetime of a car.)

Drivers aren't charging their plug-in hybrid cars, research suggests | CBC Climate Change News
Plug-in hybrid cars are a compromise for people wanting range with electric capability. But new research finds they’re less green than you think — so how should they fit into a zero-emissions future?

For the record, this is the point of having a “warrior” culture, to having notions of honor attached to the military profession is so that dishonor can is feared. Military service is honored but if you fail to uphold standards—including refusing illegal orders—you must be dishonored.
This is also why I hate hearing “it’s hard to disobey orders.” It’s hard to endure danger. It’s hard to not give up information. That’s precisely why there must be no ground given on the matter—when you bear arms, you take on that responsibility and must endure the consequences if you fail.
anyways read theory. american soldiers do not swear loyalty to the commander-in-chief. they swear loyalty to the constitution. the difference matters--not in sunny skies and good weather, but on bad days, when you are pressed to the breaking point--that is precisely when it matters most.

Yeah when I hear this, I think, "wow 10 cases, that's gotta be out of billions over 5 years, seems super low" but then "naw man, they keep super detailed records on this. We woulda known."
We are supposed to believe that FDA paused and removed the J&J vaccine immediately after 6 cases of clotting, but they hid 10 kids dying from the mRNA vaccines until Prasad and Hoeg, who were always antivaxx, revealed the truth.
Checks out.

Would be hilarious if in the end the only jobs AI replaced were the C suite
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
