Actually the "theory" was legit, the original wasn't "window breakers" it was "broken windows." The actually theory says to fix the windows! Right there in the name.

Hey, i had a friend in High School our same class who was gay, flamboyantly, went to UF, loved it, never had a problem. (He did later move to Texas and did, when he want outside a major city.) So i think that's a broad brush.
Yes but don't miss the significance of the pettiness. He just enjoys punching down. Also, I am following in detail, he has a number of brazenly illegal schemes surrounding the State Universty System and desperately needs culture war distractions.
Sounds like a nice break.
I can
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
Late to this, but i spent a lot of time on YouTube and— maybe because I'm in the demo for propaganda— there is some really bad normalizing stuff on there. Some of it is clickbait but it intensified. Idk what Google's reason is.
This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.

Maybe there's a compromise? I'm 100% Team Grant—but Grant is *even more impressive* when you realize Lee was truely excellent on the tactical level. North Anna inverted-V was technically perfect for the river/ terrain/ situation—now see it on stragety map. In the end: It. Did. Not. Matter.

I hope we're not talking past each other, because this exchange is why you do NOT let security people control UX for your product, because security is always trade offs. That said, if email password reset was already possible then eliminating passwords objectively removes an attack path—at a UX cost
Is that it, or did he know he was a target and actively think that wrapping himself in the symbols of Trumpism would protect him? "See, I'm one of the good ones!" Still contemptible but in a way to him "hey man it was worth a shot but haha it didn't work, they don't care."
In general yes, but one this one, no: the personal incentives are there. being the one to break the news President is dead would be a feather in someone's cap for all eternity. Haberman is a bad journalist and a bad human being but she won't sit on it. Also people in Vance's orbit incentivized.
My bet is it would leak so fast that there wouldn't be a window to even try. Media will know definitively within an hour. Just a guess, we'll see how it plays out.
When i win the Pulitzer Prize and its not even nap time
No hospitals are closing in rural areas because the money is being wasted in DEI and foreign aid. Also the hospitals that closed were woke so it's good that they closed.
In general it's really, really hard to keep the leader's death a secret. Even North Korea didn't try when Kim Jong Il died

As a software engineer, let me tell you much how much *i love* adding new feature while ignoring entrenched bugs
is it because Chris Rufo got cucked by Florida power players

Security analysis (i am a security researcher and worked professionally): if you could reset the password, then there's no change in the threat profile from a compromised email.
can. sometimes transitioning is like knocking over a vending machine.
I don't know why it feels like there are more, but there are legitimate security and usability problems with passwords. It depends on the product / user expectations / company etc.
The elementary school having a website was the premise of the joke, as was the style at the time
Actually that is hilarious. I'm assuming flavor was lemon-lime
?? My post was echoing your, only to say it was an old observation / joke.
"How. dare you politicizE. this tragic moment in American history and not support all the legislation President Vance wants to pass."--Hakeem Jeffries, 2026
Machines made by humans have been killing people for hundreds of years. It should and will be handled under that case law.
Lmao incredible. The experience of getting that notification must be a rollercoaster
I tried to pay someone once and PayPal: 1) transferred money out of my bank account, 2) then flagged the transaction as suspicious, 3) required me to jump through hoops to unfreeze my account. If the transaction was suspicious why'd you take money out of my bank account! Can't believe that's legal!
Every fire fighter has a story of going into a burning building where the alarm is going off, sometimes with smoke, and entering a room people sitting, eating, drinking, ignoring it. The cognitive phenomenon is called "normalcy bias" and it sure does explain journalism these days.
many professional political observers are closet or open trump supporters - when he fails or stumbles, as he frequently does, they cover for him and insert a fake, fictional trump into their stories that's doing smart stuff for normal reasons.
Yeah but some person or even an automated system might think you live in Broward County. As a Miami native, it's not worth the risk.
Jokes in 30 years or less or it's free
this is a very classic case of a common phenomenon in authoritarian states; somebody who fears they can't rise through talent latching onto the leader and snitching on others in order to progress their career. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/a...
The flaw is "sounds like that could be true because..." —Maybe it's true! — but the study is flawed and doesn't show anything
You can just write whatever you want in a "study" and it gets written up. It started decades ago with diet science ("new study shows...") and now is everything.
There will absolutely be a bunch of conservative legal takes that “actually the President can fire Fed members for cause and he gets to decide what cause is” with the implication being that central bank independence was a century-old fiction that only Trump was smart enough to figure out.
"I know people come at things differently" yeah maybe that's why some examples would make this a serious communications project, and not just vibing about people we don't like. Great data + love the graphs
More comforting for these replies be Russians/Israelis than that other Americans are that incoherent
Used by Republicans because "stakeholders" is a widely accepted and convenient term in governance! Who made this lmao
Thanks. I checked the list, it was "LGBTQIA+"— they don't provide their opinion on "LGBTQ+" and that perfectly illustrates how the lack of context, examples or per-term alternatives shows how *unserious* this is.
Ok, did this post actually say not to use "LGBTQ+"? Bad if so! But i haven't seen the list but i saw something else it said "LGBTQIA+"? Yes we should fight for Intersex and Assxuals but I happen to think the acrynoym can't grow forever and i thought the "...Q+" was officially caping it at "LGBTQ+".
lmao doesn't fit exactly but still actual beautiful use of deadnaming for "call the wrong name intentionally as an insult." Personal self-determination becomes national self-determination. Love it. Great to work overall btw.
Fair. I take it back. The substack goes on and on about Final Fantasy II (IV) and it's not a choice anyone would make unless you are exactly a certain age (it was eclipsed by II (VI). So real human. Ok.
Did you post this to the wrong tweet? bsky.app/profile/noel... the meme is the same point in the post you quote approvingly here
Lmao maybe he meant that Hoover's FBI was outside of any political control, legitimate or otherwise (it was)
It's a bluff and he's counting on people not knowing DC has specific separate laws that allow this there. Bluff.
This Reddit post has a suggestion? www.reddit.com/r/DaystromIn... I'm genuinely very curious about this. I agree with the point — there was so much about the ST vision that has been lost.
If you are trolling Bluesky you're doing a great job. Otherwise,
This is *Bluesky*. Read the room.
The you're-so-smart flattery chatbot is not going to do this, obviously.
There was a serious Dyson Sphere-esque proposal not for a solid sphere, but using the planet mercury (mostly iron) and basically consuming it to make flat panels that are polished, then positioning them in the Earth-Sun L4 and L5 points to reflect sun to earth. Amount of solar to earth up multiple-x

This tweet might have been better for this reply: bsky.app/profile/mike...
I was editor of a local (English-language) publication in China. It's normal to give reporters envelopes of money, though only happened to me a couple times and I refused. Note: It's normal because bribery is much more normal but still 100% a bribe for good coverage, understood as such.
Just to be clear because it apparently confused some people, I think what Gavin Newsom is doing on Twitter is great. I just think the conclusion from it should be “all/more Democrats should be doing that,” not “this soulless, transphobic opportunist deserves to be president now.”
If only the fuhrer knew
It's true, I was a *local reporter in China*: handing reporters cash for good coverage is normal (I was offered but didn't accept)
Savage.
Papers, please.
It should be possible to look for linguistic patterns! If I didn't have 18 bazillion things to do I'd get on it [ADHD kicks in] expect something later this afternoon or never
Thank you for your comments seriously. I was in transit and in meeting. I have watched South Park from the beginning and want to defend it, because the media-reality relationship is a longtime interest of mine; the attacks on SP also misunderstand our current moment and opportunities for resistance.
Because you are making the same 1990s arguement that violent movies and violent TV cause violence. They don't. People can tell the difference. I was on a team monitoring a "Moms For Liberty" event. this is what's harmful- demonization, hateful, bona fide public policy ideas. Not a satirical cartoon
The idea that harm is caused by South Park satire is not different from saying violent movies cause violence. The harms are coming from organized political actors. Blaming a tv show in general gets multiple things wrong, and blaming South Park misunderstands so much about motivations and reasons.
The threat to marginalized people isn't coming from South Park, to trans people specifically it's coming from the organized right, a small group that is willing to use the levers of power to harm trans people and others. To call South Park "attacks" and blame it, is to misunderstand multiple things
Are you talking to me?
Thank you for your comment, which is absolutely a reply to me. Please continue to make replies like this in the future to other people's replies, if really has a positive effect on the conversation.
Thank you for your comment. It really adds value to the conversation.
Shark was totally reasonable in this situation
"Ladder to Heaven" aired before the Iraq War and was amazing. No one else was making this point then and I drifted away from the show but this was incredibly on-target against Bush.
It's the reason the app closes within seconds of going into the background
So whole new reason "Shrimp dick" applies
Yes this is the case in Florida, where I started going back in 2023. Coalition management for a small hateful number, that could move the needle in a primary but can be swamped in a general if normal decent people knew what is happening. Why Moms For Liberty lies about what they do, they know.
I am in the industry, and my firsthand experience with bombarded with recruitment in 2021-22 says just raw over-hiring. That is broad enough to incude the betting big.
Caution about drawing conclusions from Facebook, because Facebook overhires, chasing whatever manbaby ceo matters this year. Hiring pipelines are long. This has happened repeatedly in the past 5 years.
"outs" implies they aren't ... engaged. Nbd but maybe clarify follow up.
I don't know what this hashtag is but meme is incredible
