Tas nekad nav tik slikti kā mēs baidījāmies un ne tik labi, kā cerējām

Es piekrītu @Oslejs. Mums jādomā par @airBaltic nevis kā vietējo autobusu firmu bet kā reģionālo smagsvaru, kura HQ esot Rīgā mums dod labumus nomaksātos nodokļos un biznesa sakaros kas ir svarīgi ekonomikas izaugsmei

So many people, diametrically opposed to everything devout Catholics like Tolkien stood for, nonetheless proclaim that modern defense tech chuds are illiterates who don't understand his works.

"Almost the central theme of the book is the contrast between the Hobbits (or "the Shire") and the appalling destiny to which some of them are called, the terrifying discovery that the humdrum happiness of the Shire, which they had taken for granted as something normal, is in reality a sort of local and temporary accident, that its existence depends on being protected by powers which Hobbits forget, against powers which Hobbits dare not imagine" -CS Lewis, close friend of JRR Tolkien

@TarunAmasa @OpenAI Looks cool, would be interested in trying it out!

@Jack_Raines Love the idea, but who is it for? The person who can't put their phone away and be present is either extremely busy but also mindful of that time or impulsive and not able to manage. I assume it's for the latter, but I imagine it's hard to sell on good intentions alone.

(THREAD) This is a brief thread from a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer on what everyone—literally everyone—is missing about the 34 felonies Donald Trump committed to win the 2016 presidential election. This will change how you understand the 2016 election cycle.

It was a good thing for Germans and Japanese (and their neighbors) that Germany and Japan were defeated in WW2. It would also be a good thing for Russians and their neighbors if Russia was defeated in Ukraine.

To understand what is at stake in the fight against the axis of China, Russia and Iran, just read "The Lord of the Rings," @nfergus writes https://t.co/bIBWE9i5oA via @opinion

@Martins_Vaivars @theallinpod @lexfridman I agree with you on Lex Fridman, but the All In guys strike me more as ultracrepidarians

A long LinkedIn post on the “pervasive sense of nihilism” at Google

Good insight into the psychological impact of hiring too many people and then doing rolling layoffs over multiple years

Does Vladimir Putin want negotiations? Almost certainly yes.

Does Putin want to negotiate? Almost certainly not.

The difference is not semantic.

Edit: The updated number of active users is slightly different, so the general ratio between the two platforms is even lower than 2.2

As Jake Sullivan ping-pongs around the Middle East trying to save Hamas, restrain Israel, and "revamp" (his word) the terrorist Palestinian Authority, it's worth revisiting this recent @JeremySternLA profile of the towering DC imbecile:
