we’re actually about six months into a recession, it just hasn’t penetrated the stock market yet because the speculative AI bubble is keeping it completely divorced from what’s happening on the ground level
Hiring is at its lowest level since 2009, according to a new report.
What can you say besides “century of humiliation for American higher education”
The challenge coins being handed out by @FBIDirectorKash. Seems someone put a lot of thought into this.
ICE deploy tear gas on crowded public street—because they were upset being stuck in Chicago traffic. A 2-year-old child required medical care after inhaling the chemical agents—adults were vomiting on the sidewalk. Local elementary school was forced to lock down for recess due to the presence of agents. People in nearby cars reported that the tear gas caused their ears, nose, and mouth to run—after chemicals seeped into vehicles despite windows rolled up. The incident occurred close to Funston Elementary School in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited

The moment the camera turns to show probably a hundred people chasing this fuckin guy is incredible
this is so fucking cool. entire Psych 210 class at University of Washington chases and detains nazi loser who storms into their classroom and throws nazi salutes, yells "heil hitler," and calls everyone "[r-slur] degenerates"
Wow, it’s really cool that we can use AI to make fake CCTV footage of people committing crimes. Surely this has no downsides whatsoever.
i have the most liked video on sora 2 right now, i will be enjoying this short moment while it lasts cctv footage of sam stealing gpus at target for sora inference
Yikes. The official US "hiring rate" fell to 3.2% in August. That's an anemic level that hasn't been seen* since the Great Recession era when unemployment was over 7%. The job market is frozen. Americans feel stuck. And it appears to be getting worse... [*The hiring rate in April 2020 was 3.1% and we did have one other month of 3.2% in June 2024]
The strangest thing about seeing model outputs everywhere is wondering how many people even notice. Maybe ten percent? Language is not just a carrier of meaning, it is a scaffold for many things. This is a live experiment, so we will discover the second order effects together.
Starbucks is closing two of the locations we have leased to them. They didn't bother to notify us. So, that's fun.
unbeatable level of dark woke
🚨🇰🇵 BREAKING — North Korea Threatened to Nuke Tel Aviv if Israel Kills Greta Thurnberg.
it’s quite remarkable that political polarization & anti intellectualism has made it so that you can directly stare at a chart that shows that the overwhelming majority of domestic terror has come from the right and people will still believe the opposite claim.
The White House Deputy Press Secretary looked at this graph and thought "those grey bars are totally fine, everyone will understand that only the yellow ones are a problem".
Ok, I looked into this because sometimes claims that "China invents Y" can be somewhat exaggerated. But this is real, and completely insane. This technology called "Bone 02" (inspired by the well-known "502 glue" in China) has been developed for the past 9 years by a team of orthopedic surgeons in Zhejiang province. The team leads are Professor Fan Shunwu (范顺武, Director of the Orthopedics Department at Zhejiang University) and Lin Xianfeng (researchgate.net/profile/Xianfe…). It's inspired by oysters because the researchers noticed their extraordinary ability to firmly attach themselves in harsh underwater environment by secreting a special adhesive known as bio-cement, which creates a strong chemical interaction with surfaces and hardens quickly. The properties of the glue are almost miraculous (sources: news.cn/20250910/1df93… and news.ifeng.com/c/8mVMq4PBdmJ): - Nearly instant adhesion in blood-soaked wet physiological environments (it just takes 2-3 minutes) - Extremely strong adhesive properties (bonding tensile force of over 400 pounds - over 181 kg) - Complete biodegradability that naturally absorbs after about 6 months as the bone heals (no need for secondary surgery previously required in conventional treatments) - Vast reduction of infection risks related to the traditional metal plates and screws normally needed for bone surgery - Minimally invasive and rapid surgery since you just need a small opening large enough to apply the glue (as opposed to a complex surgery attaching metal fixations) This glue could be especially useful for fractures with small bone fragments which are very difficult to fix with metal plates and screws. The glue has already undergone a proper "prospective, multicenter, blinded, randomized, parallel-controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial" with over 150 patients (c.m.163.com/news/a/K95S9C0…). They've announced positive results - the glue "achieved seamless bonding of all fracture fragments" - and will soon publish the peer-reviewed paper in an orthopedics journal detailing full trial data. They've launched a company for the product called 源囊生物 (Yuannang Bio) which just raised 2 weeks ago RMB100 million in Series A financing (bydrug.pharmcube.com/news/detail/ef…).
🚨🇨🇳 BREAKING: CHINA has invented a new 'BONE GLUE' that repairs bone fractures in just 3 minutes — no surgery or metal plates needed

🚨🚨 NEW DOCUMENTS FROM EPSTEIN'S ESTATE DETAILING HIS DAILY SCHEDULE: They show meetings with Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel, and a potential visit to Epstein’s Island for Elon Musk. Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s jet. DOJ must release the Epstein files NOW.
While en route to Gaza, participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla rescued a sea turtle caught in a net in the Mediterranean. One of the volunteers jumped into the water, freed the animal from ropes entangling its legs, and released it safely back into the sea
The Global Sumud Flotilla is demonstrating the efficacy of tactical nonviolence in forcing a political crisis over the Gaza genocide. They are putting Israel on the back foot and forcing states to act. These brave comrades deserve our full attention, solidarity, and support
@orenmeetsworld i saw one of these on facebook marketplace lmao
Marc Maron slams the Riyadh Comedy Festival as Bill Burr, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson and more are set to perform at the Saudi Arabia event. “I mean, how do you even promote that? ‘From the folks that brought you 9/11. Two weeks of laughter in the desert, don’t miss it!’ I mean, the same guy that’s gonna pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bone-saw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a fucking suitcase. But don’t let that stop the yucks, it’s gonna be a good time!” Read more here: variety.com/2025/politics/…
