Við erum öll á leið inn í myrka tíma. Hversu mikið myrkrið verður fer eftir því að hvaða marki við lítum undan þegar brotið verður á öðrum.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Here’s a QUESTION I’ve asked before, under different circumstances: What does YOUR CITY need most to become a MUCH BETTER CITY FOR ITS PEOPLE, in 3 words or less? I’m wondering how different the answers will be today? Name your city, explain your answer, & include images/graphics to make your case.

Except there was no specific moment that created the diaspora and only a portion of the Levantine Jews emigrated/fled. The rest stayed behind and most were forcefully converted to Christianity by the Romans. They later converted to Islam and you have the Palestinians as they are today. 1/3

When Trump says it won’t end up costing the United States to illegally invade and “control” Venezuela because of the value of their oil, he means there will be a massive public cost, but that’s ok because private companies and oligarchs, including his family, will make a ton of money.
People wondering whether the US is going to be able to "run the country" of Venezuela at "no cost" might like to remind themselves it's a place one-third *larger* than Afghanistan, the running of which cost the US $2,260,000,000,000. (That's $2.26 trillion).

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.
This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Vantar þig hugvekju fyrir nýja árið? Þá mæli ég með þessari frá hollenska sagnfræðingnum Rutger Bergman.
Þetta eru þrír tæplega hálftíma kaflar sem mynda samhangandi heild (og henta vel í tiltekt eða matseld) auk þess fjórða sem er líka góður en aðeins til hliðar.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Það segja mér kennarar að börn fá fæst bækur núorðið. Ég óttast að eftir eina kynslóð í viðbót verður bókaútgafa komin í mýflugumynd.

Usually the question posed is whether AI's human like responses imply that they might be regarded as conscious.
This disturbs some, but rarely is it asked whether we're simply not as conscious as we assume — and would like to think — we are.
