Under pressure from Trump, Republicans Josh Hawley and Todd Young have FLIPPED on the Venezuela war powers resolution, now voting to "de-privilege" and effectively sink it. It's now at a 50-50 tie, which VP Vance can break and prevent it from advancing.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

One funny thing Elon Musk figured out about the media is if, instead of providing comment to reporters, you email back an automated reply saying "go fuck yourself," the reporters will just invent their own plausible-sounding defense of your conduct to balance their stories instead of punishing you

Did jalapenos get red-delicioused? Lately they're gigantic, gorgeous, crispy, and have no flavor or heat. Taste fine, but they're like a variety of bell pepper now.

There's a silent presupposition, especially by the press, that anyone involved with the administration has no agency. We know they will neglect their responsibilities, so why bother to mention it? And they do! But we don't have to make it so easy for them to get away with it.
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

I don’t know if it only makes sense without the periphery stuff, but Nier has books, stage plays, etc. I once asked Taro about this and how are English fans supposed to keep up and he looked confused and asked “Why would you need to keep up? Who needs all of that?”
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

Potentially a big deal for space. SpaceX had a monopoly on this trick for about a decade. None of the national agencies have caught up. Now, there are two players.
Breaking News: Blue Origin, the space company founded by Jeff Bezos, landed a booster from its New Glenn orbital rocket, matching a feat so far only achieved by SpaceX.
Blue Origin Lands Booster After Rocket Launch and Matches SpaceX’s Feat
The lower half of the New Glenn rocket set down on a platform in the Atlantic Ocean after lifting a small NASA Mars mission to space.
