(1/) I'm making another thread, because while I can believe Deja Wukong, I looked at his Twitch trailer video and hear his "my fists are gonna **** you up" comment that is a turn-off from me wanting to share something more clearly. That remark is unfortunately a red flag.
(2/) I should call out that the prominent Kid Icarus Uprising community--thankfully not all of it (the V100 competitive Discord wouldn't be involving the nasty problem I'm describing)--has blatant Unsportsmanlike Gloating to their name with few even finding ANY problem about it.
(3/) They like to brag and trash on "losers" while hiding behind broken mods like Evasion+. Yes, clearly, Bumblebee the Power that gets countered by terrain cover and anticlockwise strafing conditioning is imbalanced by covering the ONE blind spot of a generally abusive passive.

One of the Dead's finest songs, and one of the few sung by Phil Lesh.

At the Garden, 1988

Sometimes I think Europe has been cursed by its own genius. No other continent has given the world so many destroyers and so many builders at once. The same peoples who erected cathedrals invented dynamite. Perhaps it is our destiny to live forever between fire and form. Image
I've read some of those men who wanted to liberate the world from power. Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin… names that buzz like bees around an empty hive. They claimed to fight for the freedom of man, but they didn't know what man was.
They wanted to destroy the State, but the State is only the visible reflection of a people's soul. Without a soul, freedom is just dust scattered by the wind.

United States v. Comey

Judge Nachmanoff has issued an order regarding prosecutor's request for the implementation of a filter team protocol to review potentially privileged material that was seized during the Arctic Haze investigation and may be informative to their case against Comey.

He's appointed Magistrate Judge William E. Fitzpatrick to preside over all proceedings having to do with the review of the privilege materials.Image
In his order, notes that the "briefing on the government’s proposed filter protocol raises several legal questions that must be resolved before any protocol is authorized." Image
At least three of those questions were also raised by the defense in their opposition to the filter team protocol.

Thread on that filing here

"Deep scars remain across the city of Suweida and its countryside; our teams witnessed firsthand the level of devastation in dozens of villages in majority Druze areas" - Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, Chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reliefweb.int/report/syrian-…
"The death and destruction is immense, with more than 30 villages almost entirely depopulated, looted, and burned. Many bodies of those who were killed remain unaccounted for, and large numbers, reportedly in the hundreds, are among the missing." - Pinheiro Image
"We have received multiple reports of women and girls being abducted by unknown armed actors. Some were reportedly subjected to sexual violence and forced marriage." - Pinheiro Image

Using a proprietary ‘Zoom and ENHANCE’ feature for blurry plates built into the yet-to-be-released V6.0 update of the Motability Checker, I can confirm that this car is, in fact, unsurprisingly, a Motability.

More recklessness underwritten by the taxpayer. Image

It's quite amazing really. Spot any new car engaging in dangerous hijinks and you can be almost certain it was paid for by you.
Dewsbury, for those wondering. Image

We shouldn't need to say this.

But after recent conversations in conservative circles, apparently we do.

Here's a thread on why anyone who claims to defend liberty, Western civilization, or American principles cannot be a collectivist. 🧵Image
Collectivism isn't just a left-wing problem.

It's any ideology that treats groups as more real than individuals. That judges you by what tribe you were born into rather than what you choose and achieve.

On the left, it appears as class warfare and identity politics.

On the right, it appears as nationalism that judges by ethnicity. In tribalism that divides by blood.Image
They deny that individuals think, choose, and act. They claim your character is determined by your group.

By your race, your class, your sex, your ancestors. They erase the line between earned achievement and inherited status.

This is why Ayn Rand called racism "the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism."Image

Today, we’re excited to announce Dojo, a collaborative RL environment suite for computer use agents (CUA).
Dojos are interactive CUA environments where models learn by doing.

They can interact with elements on screen, play games, solve puzzles, perform actions on productivity software - and learn from rewards defined from these tasks.
Dojo allows you to seamlessly spin up interactive environments with tasks - allowing you to train and evaluate top CUA models like Sonnet 4.5, GPT-5/4o, and self-hosted models.

🚨 $RDDT Reddit pulled off the trifecta

Beat, raise, 40% EBITDA and the stock still got smacked on first read. If that confused you, this is the real plot 👇🧵

1) This was an ads-led beat.

Search upgrades + Reddit Answers + cleaner onboarding brought in more demand. The monetization engine is scaling, that’s the part the headline missed.Image
2/ So why the drop?

The narrative flinched at slower U.S. DAU. Investors pay up for U.S. monetization, so even small slips sting a rich multiple. $RDDT Image
3) Second bruise:

The much-hyped “other” revenue (data licensing, etc.) didn’t re-accelerate. Good, not explosive. When the narrative is hot, “good” reads as “meh.” Image

1/ @MikeCosper says he's "been a big Bill Kristol fan for a long time," and that Cosper "[s]hares especially his foreign policy perspective," which necessarily includes supporting the Iraq War.

The comment gives an interesting view into the world of evangelical NeverTrumpism. Image
2/ Kristol is famously anti-Trump, but as @TuckerCarlson previously pointed out, Kristol gave Trump "qualified praise" for months in 2015.

That changed when, in South Carolina, Trump criticized the Iraq War, which marked a turning point for Kristol on Trump. Image
Image
3/ @DavidFrench followed a similar trajectory.

In a 2016 article, French wrote that "[w]eeks ago I said . . . that while I opposed Trump in the primary, I'd back him if he won the GOP nomination."

"When I saw Trump in full, my decision was easy: Never Trump." Image
