I think these guys get headlines exactly because they target things that “belong” to all of us. PETA throwing red paint on some rich schmuck wearing furs? That might get a minute of airtime. But (safely) paint Stonehenge, throw baked beans on the Mona Lisa, etc and every news outlet will cover it.
It’s not like they swapped titanium for balsa wood. The origin docs were falsified or missing, which could mean anything from they weren’t the right purity but were shipped anyway to they were imported from Russia and illegally bypassing sanctions.
I’d let all of these statues and monuments stand, but require the descriptions to all be preceded with “defeated traitor”. So instead of the Robert E Lee Memorial Park or whatever it would now be the Defeated Traitor Robert E Lee Memorial Park. Require it to be referred to that way on Google Maps, local newscasts, etc and see how quickly people suddenly want to rename them.
What do you hate specifically – e.g. exercising in general, getting hot and sweaty, foot/leg/joint pain, your location or route, having to be alone with your thoughts for a while, etc? I’ve been running for nearly 3 decades now (yikes), and even as a kid I remember the thing that made it “click” with me is the realization that I literally could not be doing anything else at the same time (aside from listening to music, I guess).
I think that unless you are having physical pain (in which case the usual applies - check your shoes, modify your gait, reduce or restructure your runs to be more comfortable), you have to get into the headspace of just mentally doing nothing, which can be hard for some people.
FWIW I don’t know anyone who, in the middle of a 10k run in 90 degree heat with a side stitch says “I feel awesome right now!”, but I do know many, many people who will finish out that run, stop for a moment and then go “ahhhhhhh.”
I think we’re all a little better off for Sabine being on YouTube.
New drug: 60% survival rate with no disease progression.
Current-best drug: 8%
While technically it’s not “off the charts”, this is pretty damn impressive. I’ll allow the hyperbole.
This is actually pretty clever. If he’s found guilty then it’s rigged since even Mother Teresa would have been found guilty. If he’s found not guilty though, then he’s even better than Mother Teresa, since he beat a rap that would have taken her down or whatever.

I heard someone won an award for the fjords…
I’d say that this is the kind of thing we elect leaders to decide and implement for us, but my leaders are a bunch of fucking morons.
We’ve got to go dig them holes. 🎶
Investors who don’t bother reading past the letters A and I in the prospectus.
How is Worldcoin still a thing?
This is so terrible it physically pains me.
Are you looking for a tool that can diff legal documents line by line or clause by clause? If the latter I’d bet an LLM with a large context size could do a pretty good job, especially if you used a script (or another pass through the LLM) to break them down into like sections so that could just compare e.g. all Controlling Law sections with each other and all IP Indemnification sections with each other.
Now that I think about it, tuning the prompt (and keeping the temperature very low, like 0) you could probably get it to return everything from proper diffs to summaries of conceptual differences. And it could definitely do multiples at once if you were to break them into like pieces ahead of time.
“Aerospace chocolatiers” would be a great name for an experimental, new-age music troupe.
If Ukraine is forced to capitulate It could be 20x this number and the Kremlin would still consider it a massive win.
The interesting part of the article:
The new flexible polymer and carbon composite boom is coupled with a twelve-unit (12U) CubeSat built by NanoAvionics. After the mission launches atop a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand, the spacecraft will go into a Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of about 600 miles (~1,000 km) and the sail will deploy in about 25 minutes to cover an area of 860 ft² (80 m²) with the boom unfolding from the size of a hand to 23 ft (7 m) long. Once deployed, the sail will adjust the vehicle’s orbit by angling itself in relation to the solar wind.
This is a good, short read. For those who are unfamiliar with the AGPL license that the author proposes we all start using, the main difference (and I am not a lawyer) is that under the AGPL, the source code including any modifications must also be made available to all users interacting with the software over a network. This prevents companies from making proprietary versions of AGPL software that are only accessible as a web service, which is one of the big ways that corporations are able to profit from GPL source code contributions these days.
