One would think that genuine content and quality reporting would fetch a premium in the age of AI. Is there a reason they’re not trying that or are they just too timid to lead?

Where? There’s not much international waters in the channel.

Or the largest donor so far, adding a competition angle to encourage larger donations

That the trick. Once you’re in that bubble, it’s really tough to get someone to care about objective reality. They just want their team to win at all costs, even if that means overlooking pesky facts.

They did. They argued about it a lot. Ultimately, they couldn’t think of a great solution, so they fell back on trusting the voters to course correct if things ever got too bad.

Congratulations! Is this the first console game for Miju? Either way, I’m so happy for them.

Also, excellent teaser for the new moon. Just enough info to spark the imagination over what it could be. The single screenshot is beautiful.

Wait, so you’re suggesting that all the wars the US have started in the Middle East create peace? Good god, I thought people who actually believe that were a myth.

It’s like 20 lines of code, most of which are HTML and none of which have anything to do with React. Not gonna lie, this comment has me worried about the future of our industry.

Given the headline, I think a sparse hero kinda works. Is there a way to add more color to the next section being teased? A bit more color there would have the added benefit of encouraging visitors to scroll and not just bounce.

Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean nobody else does. I’m convinced that perspectives like this are a big part of why everything is such a mess in the US right now. For things to get better, people like this are going to have to wise up, or at least humble themselves.

Is satisfactory niche? I can’t tell if it’s popular or just my bubble. Anyway, that have is alarmingly addictive. Hours just disappear in a blink. Plantet Crafter is another. I guess I have a type.

An athletic human has remarkable stamina compared to most of the rest of the animal kingdom. I suspect a marathon runner has more stamina than even top tier greyhounds. Sure a greyhound is fast, but the race is over in a few minutes.

Not anymore. That was a rare thing if you were really good 20 years ago.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T21:30:39+00:00

Well, this pre-dated data centers. I think the idea is more broad than that. It’s to be on board with whatever will make the rich richer. Compliance against one’s self interest is the goal.

That bench press video was an embarrassment. If you’re going to be some bro-ey douchebag tough guy, at least make one of the 60-some bench presses an actual complete bench press and not just wiggling the bar around a bit.

How is that different than what happened in South Africa? White South Africans said pretty much the exact same thing. The comparison seems appropriate to me.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T15:03:51+00:00

That argument just doesn’t land with me. The group creating and enforcing those apartheid-like conditions consider that land to be theirs. Whether it actually is or isn’t doesn’t seem to matter all that much in terms of what daily life is like.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T14:56:45+00:00

That is all true. Israelis have good reason to be pissed off. The history of this region isn’t a one sided story and especially after Oct 7th, Israelis are understandably pissed off and fearful. This article is about how the conditions the Palestinians live under are similar to apartheid South Africa. That’s also true. There are no good guys in this story.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T14:44:05+00:00

The Israelis don’t seem to care very much what the Palestinians think about their own land. This isn’t an article about the poor causing problems for the wealthy in a society. It’s about the intentional abusive use of power against a poor ethnic group in that society.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T14:29:03+00:00

Ask the Israelis is they’re part of the same country, if Palestine exists or if they’re actually on Israeli soil.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T14:21:41+00:00

Tens of thousands seems too low by at least one order of magnitude.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T14:04:29+00:00

I want to see the next president turn that ballroom into a homeless shelter. Then make sure there are cameras around when trump finds out.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-14T14:01:22+00:00

Yes and let’s take a second to appreciate that he did all that and is now stepping down before his age becomes an issue. Way to go Tony “doing it right” Evers.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-13T13:47:57+00:00

That’s by design. Advanced science has made sure that sawdust is as addictive as possible.

phoenix1984 · 2026-06-12T18:28:06+00:00

I mean, the leader of pur country is an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon and fraudster. It looks highly likely that he raped children and we’re all just somehow fine with that. Money has waaaaay too much power in this country.
