I got myself a nice Hogswatch present. A nice little plasma cutter. It should cut mild steel up to 3/8 of an inch thick in a single pass, which is plenty for me because as far as anyone knows I’m not planning on building a Killdozer.

Yeah, the lamination would def. add cheap ballistic protection, and improve the mass/load properties. Didn't know about the thermal dynamics/properties/advantage. Good to know. And of course, not that it's even a thing we think about at all, other than as a hypothetical academic exercise.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, ferries are a fact of life - there's so much water around it's often the fastest way to get somewhere.

But here and there you hear someone pronounce it "furry boat".

There's a BIG difference.

A ferry boat is what I take to get to the office.

A furry boat is... this.
Anthopomorphic boat-creature modeled on the Washington State car ferries. It's green and white matching the WSF livery, lying on its stomach on an inflatable pool float. The car deck can be seen through the critter's open mouth. The eyes are the boarding doors into the main passenger cabin, and the ears are bridge wings. The bridge is sitting on top of its head like a hat. The twin smokestacks amidships protrude from the buttocks. The Seattle skyline and Space Needle can be seen in the background.

Newsweek is a zombie publication, with nothing to do with the magazine once issued, and this bizarre article is a good reminder.

This story tells us that some people left their puppy with a sitter, and the dog didn't love it but it went fine. That’s it—that's the article. https://www.newsweek.com/owner-drops-dog-daycare-gets-update-three-days-later-1995485

@Piousunyn Yeah, I've been predicting a messy divorce eventually, but now I'm not sure. I see them more as rivals than allies. That is, I would have thought 45 would resent Musk being richer and perhaps more powerful than he is. It just doesn't quite track with 45's personality IMO. I suppose as long as the relationship is mutually beneficial, 45 will stick with him. But the moment it isn't, Musk is history.

Senator Murphy on Twitter: “We had a deal to avert a shutdown. Musk et al blew it up because it didn't help billionaires enough. They wrote a new bill to cut cancer treatment for kids and grease a new tax cut for the rich. That failed too - and now they're panicking because everyone is seeing the grift.”

There are different accounts of the MAGA project and what it seeks to accomplish and control.

Today it’s about money and wealth. Other days it’s about opportunity. Still other days it’s about the body.

At the root of all this, though, it’s about knowledge. What counts as truth, who gets to arbitrate, what is “natural” and what is “alien.”

That’s the essence of all authoritarianism. Dominate the mind and the rest will follow.

Resist much, obey little.

Elon Musk is becoming a one-man rogue state – it’s time we reined him in


Elon #Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState. His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

To put it into context, if dollars were metres, Musk’s money would be enough to take him to Mars and back, while a mere millionaire could only make a round trip from Paris to Amsterdam.

He has:e mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s richest bully

Terrific idea. It's good for researchers, good for govt agencies, good for evidence-based govt policies, and good for boosting the likelihood that useful research will actually be picked up and used:

UK govt agencies may now register their "areas of research interest" (#ARIs) as #Octopus "research problems" — "making it much easier for researchers to identify potential opportunities for collaboration as they browse or search the [Octopus] platform for work relevant to their own areas of interest. Reciprocally, when a researcher publishes a piece of work linked to a governmental ARI ‘research problem’, they are given the option to pass their contact details on to the relevant department."

An independent Scottish republic?

A huge majority would support independence if it also meant removing the King as head of state.

A newly independent Scotland must be based on a foundation equality and democracy. These principles are simply incompatible with monarchy.
59% would support Scottish independence if we abolished the monarchy.

This absurdly outsized escort? It's a flex. Against US. They're not afraid Mangione will act out. Motherfucker is disabled. They're not afraid for his safety. America is practically united in our support for him. This is, as usual, about intimidation. They want to break his spirit and threaten yours.

Keen-eyed friends below have noted the deeply legally embattled Mayor, Eric Adams, just behind Mangione in this picture. Ironic.
Luigi Mangione, in orange inmate clothes, hands cuffed in front of him, is marched in the streets of New York with a HUGE detail of armed pigs from the FBI and NYPD. They carry assault rifles and wear helmets and tac gear.
