  • Uvalde shooter’s uncle begged police to let him talk to the gunman

    Jump

  • Without disputing that there were a lot of fuckups, this feels like a kind of pointless article given the uncle called 10 minutes after the shooter was shot by police, not sure there was much he could have done at that point.

  • FBI Is Not Fully Convinced Trump Was Struck by a Bullet

    Jump

  • It is was probably transferred from his ear to chin/cheek by something like the floor, his hand or SS. That'd explain why there isn't a trail and it appears blotchy.

  • Those style of maps make the gameplay into a frenzy, turns the twitch shooting skill requirement up, drops the tactical planning.

  • Slow recovery from IT outage begins as experts warn of future risks

    Jump

  • The real surprise to me is not the software, company or OS issues, but rather so many companies just blindly pushing untested updates to their prod environments, this was and will continue to be a risk associated with anything they do trust so implicitly. Feels like the security folks just totally failed Dev 101.

  • The Talented Democrats Who Aren’t Running for President

    Jump

  • The sad honest truth is probably that there are more bigoted people out there that won't vote for a Dem if it isn't a white guy than people who would add votes to one who isn't, particularly in swing states. Maybe I'm too cynical...

    As for replacements, even the people who some polls show as being slightly more popular than Biden haven't been through anywhere near as much of a dedicated smear campaign as he has, and if they were, we don't know how they'd poll.

  • Google Says AI Could Break Reality

    Jump

  • For public ones, depending on what people started getting, it'd really strain the AIs. You could go in like 1 or two ways, probably different people getting both.

    Something very uniform but still unique, like a QR code kind of deal, AIs would hallucinate the crap out of that. Or abstractions, like people do to change the way the shape of their face to combat facial recognition.

    For private ones, just don't ever get it photographed, any image showing that area without it would be probably fake.

  • I am waiting for people to start getting both public and hidden authentication tattoos, so they can prove generative images aren't actually them.

  • Trump Suggests Planes Can’t Fly When It’s Not Sunny

    Jump

  • I'm not sure why light would matter, obviously if you're flying you'd use wind over solar, there's so much wind flowing around the planes it'd be a much more available and reliable source of power.

    Conspiracy Theorists Think Biden Was Hit With Directed-Energy Weapons During Debate

    Jump

  • I prefer the "Darth Jar Jar" and "The Bloop" levels of conspiracy theories.

  • Gathered at Camp David, Biden's family tells him to stay in the race and keep fighting

    Jump

  • I think you're suggesting that he committed to being a 1-term president as part of his campaign. You might be remembering a bunch of sensationalized articles based on a Politico article where an unnamed "prominent advisor" said "he won't be running for reelection" and a bunch of other mostly unnamed people also suggested he wouldn't/shouldn't run again. Which led to tons of other articles, which parroted it as fact.

    The Politico article even further went on to be updated after it was first published to add a quote from Biden's deputy campaign manager and communications director at the time, which stated Biden was "not privately considering declining to run for re-election."

    So he never made that commitment and the only official communication refuted the speculation.

    Reference Politico - Biden Single Term

    Slate even covered this recently in another article, where they were unable to locate any official commitment related to serving a single term.

    Disclaimer: I also wish we had another option, just presenting some evidence. Maybe it'll make you feel better with your choice.

  • It's wild how many job listings might be fake

    Jump

  • I'm not at home to check at the moment, but I think it's Jobs Filterer for LinkedIn by Jonathan Kamens. Lets you prefilter with regex for like company or job title, and give you a button to manually hide specific listings as well.

    Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company

  • There are women who intentionally choose to be a single parent. Like they're single, they get a sperm donor, have a kid. It's not some insane thing. Kids should have a supportive and caring environment, whomever raises them. Not every kid with a single caregiver is neglected, nor is every kid with 2 or more caregivers properly cared for.
