Only one thing from WWDC has made me mad: in one of the videos, the presenter used the word “learnings” not just once but *twice* in the opening minutes. The word is “lessons,” Apple!

Lots of great stuff in this year’s WWDC. And some things I’ll wait-and-see about, and a bunch of things I don’t need to have an opinion about, which is good.

But, seriously, for real, this “learnings” thing pissed me the hell off.

lol, pretty sure I'd heard of Stephen Fry long before she wrote her first draft of the Wizarding school of conformity....

@ai6yr @Researchbuzz Stupid fucks. Leave them on the mountain.

I'm going to try a proven Wrong technology to plan my hiking trip.

I used to be S&R, and it's not the first time I've said, "Some people just need Darwin."

Lander’s and Padilla’s treatment are part of a series. Trump is using force to go after the entire Democratic/progressive bloc in the U.S. This is a concerted effort to prevent that bloc from ever holding political power again. Marc Elias gives a timeline:

"Abolish ICE" is the compromise position from "Prosecute ICE"

Via Seymour Hersh (American journalist):

"This is a report on what is most likely to happen in Iran, as early as this weekend, according to Israeli insiders and American officials I’ve relied upon for decades. It will entail heavy American bombing. I have vetted this report with a longtime US official in Washington, who told me that all will be “under control” if Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “departs.”

According to him, Trump has delayed any US strikes against Iran because he didn't want to disrupt the markets. Trump's plan goes beyond destroying Iran's nuclear development. The intent is to cause mass destabilization, similar to previous US campaigns in Libya and Syria.

If what Hersh reports comes to pass and a decision has been already made, there is a greater likelihood that this backfires on Trump and on the empire. They won't be successful at destroying Fordow, they won't overthrow Khamenei, and they will see themselves involved in a bigger mess than before.

Iran will be the graveyard of Trump's administration.

I was hoping I was wrong. Sigh.

“The unanimous order from a 3-judge panel for U.S. Court of Appeals for 9th Circuit is victory for Trump & allows for contd deployment of roughly 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles...”

The battle cry of the Very Serious Centrist: "We can not have nice things!"

Let me save you the bother - if you're thinking about taking the time to write to me to tell me that spending billions of dollars on exploding rockets is actually better than focusing that time, money and effort on real problems that people face now, we are not going to see eye to eye. Life is a rich tapestry and it takes all sorts of people to make a world. So I will wish you well on your diverging path, fellow traveller. X

An MIT research study of 54 people writing essays followed by brain scans has shown startling results.

ChatGPT users showed lower brain activity, weaker memory, and less creativity compared to those using Google or writing unaided.

Frequent ChatGPT users showed declining brain activity over sessions, resorted to copy & pasting more and most couldn’t remember the content of the essays they wrote when asked afterwards.

The brain is a muscle, use it or lose it.

"Comfortable."

COMFORTABLE striking a nuke facility.

So glad he's so comfy. I'm not.

BREAKING via ABC NEWS

“#Trump is getting comfortable with the idea of taking out Iran's Fordo nuclear facility. It would not be just one strike on the facility, it would be several. There is now a movement to get ready for this.”
