Me neither, I feel like all the publications talking about how it’s so popular are gaslighting me or being taken by some bullshit bottled streaming numbers

Did it? I mean, it may have bought President Pedo the couple of months he needed to win an election against a historically awful opponent, but given his 32% approval rating and being stuck in a war that was supposed to distract from the detention camps that were supposed to be a distraction from the tariffs that were supposed to be a distraction from DOGE which was supposed to be a distraction from the pedophilia, I think it’s fair to say that buying a mouthpiece isn’t a durable solution to the problem of being objectively stupid

Doesn’t seem to be what this article says

To some readers, even choosing Outlook as a part of a spacecraft’s communications portfolio would seem to be an anomaly. However, it is a standard part of the “Commercial Off-The-Shelf” (COTS) software astronauts use for their day-to-day operations.

To be clear, the spacecraft and primary flight systems will run on specialized radiation-hardened hardware and rigorously maintained software. COTS just complements this with a friendly layer, like Windows and Outlook, so astronauts can check schedules, indulge in personal communications, and so on, in a familiar way.

Sounds like Microsoft products are running on the same hardware as critical systems are

Eh, that’s what they’re trying to do, but that’s always what groups like them have tried to do throughout history and it never really works for very long. We aren’t reaching the end of anything, it’s just the next stage of the game.

All over people changing their votes

Along with their old codes

If Adolf Hitler flew in today

They’d send a limousine straight away

Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want,

I bet you’d be disappointed,

Am I right?

…

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember

We’re alive for the first time

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember

We’re alive for the last time

“Bloodline” by Mon Rovîa and “What of Our Nature” by Haley Heynderickx and Max García Conover when I want lyrics,

Makaya McCraven’s “Techno Logic” “The People’s Mixtape” “Hidden Out” and “PopUp Shop” (4 EPs he released on the same day that are basically one inconveniently packaged double album), Sholto’s “Letting go of Forever,” and “Car Alarm” by Pat’s Soundhouse when I don’t

An introvert who has come to realize community is essential

Well that’s relatable

decided not to publish to protect US troops

Bullshit, the Semafor report (arc) said they received these leaks before the operation began when it still could’ve been cancelled if someone put a spotlight on what they were about to do. If anything, by withholding this information from the American people and allowing this reckless operation to go forward unimpeded they helped the Trump administration put these troops in harm’s way.

This was not about protecting the lives of US troops or anyone else’s, this was about protecting the power of the United States government to inflict violence wherever it wants to no matter who is in charge of it or how stupid or cruel their motivations are.

And this isn’t even the first clown shitshow of a government we’ve voted in this century
