Hey, you're like me. I HATED soup for decades. Can soup BS was disgusting. Soup on the side of my burger, gross.

Then I went to a real soup place. Like all they did was soup. Like professional level soup that's $8 a cup or $12 a bowl.

My god - it was incredible. I now understand the Soup Nazi bit of why anybody would tolerate that behavior.

I went from clean shaven anti-souper to a god damn soup coke fiend.

 

The Trump administration is enlisting national park visitors into the Republican president’s fight to rewrite American history, with a new directive that forces all park units to display signs that encourage guests to report any information that is critical of American history.

And also being so confident, you don't need another man to tell you you're a big strong masculine man.

That's the challenge with technical advances. It's not just solving the technical problem, it's also solving the societal problem.

If you look back into history, Automated elevators was a major panic until people got comfortable with the idea.

This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there's 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

Just made up numbers.

Of course, don't get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That's not the intent here.

I used it to make a meme.

 
 

TeleMessage, a communications app used by former Trump national security adviser Mike Waltz, has suspended services after a reported hack exposed some user messages. The breach follows controversy over Waltz's use of the app to coordinate military updates, including accidentally adding a journalist to a sensitive Signal group chat. From the repor In an email, Portland, Oregon-based Smarsh, which runs the TeleMessage app, said it was "investigating a potential security incident" and was suspending all its services "out of an abundance of caution." A Reuters photograph showed Waltz using TeleMessage, an unofficial version of the popular encrypted messaging app Signal, on his phone during a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

A separate report from 404 Media says hackers have also targeted GlobalX Air -- one of the main airlines the Trump administration is using as part of its deportation efforts -- and claim to have stolen flight records and passenger manifests for all its flights, including those for deportation. From the report: The data, which the hackers contacted 404 Media and other journalists about unprompted, could provide granular insight into who exactly has been deported on GlobalX flights, when, and to where, with GlobalX being the charter company that facilitated the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador.

"Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge's order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans," a defacement message posted to GlobalX's website reads. Anonymous, well-known for its use of the Guy Fawkes mask, is an umbrella some hackers operate under when performing what they see as hacktivism.

We'll just push that 4-top, 4-top, 6-top, 5-top together and make a table at this server station while blocking fire escapes.

I'm laughing real hard because I was also attracted by the thumbnail and clicked.

But -- I hope others don't follow suit and make sharing content look like time square with motion everywhere.
