To be clear, I’m not a nihilist. I have plenty of optimism for the future.
But it does not include saving a country that has dedicated its entire existence to the de-evolution of mankind so a handful of entitled pricks can control systems they have no idea even how to manage or use.
I’m off that train. I want to live, not conform to some bullshit set by people who hate themselves.

The “risk factors” section in the CoreWeave S1 is truly epic. More broadly, just interesting to see another example of a crypto hedge fund pivoting to AI and finding an even bigger gold rush to sell shovels into. DeepSeek, CoreWeave, I wonder how many more?

Hey George,
It would be great if you stopped the folks at comicsands from linking to twitter in the articles, as they show up as blank for everyone who has done the proper thing and blocked it on a DNS level.
screengrabs are fine if you need to show us a picture, but text copypasta works well.

Server Down
I am not sure how long the Server has been down today. I went to login and got a 503: Service Unavailable. I am looking into what caused the issue.
After discovering that I could not connect to my instance, though the server was still up. I did the most reasonable thing ;). I rebooted it. That seems to have fixed whatever took the service down. I am looking into what caused the issue and how to prevent it in the future.

The Office That Investigates Disparities in Veterans’ Care Is Being “Liquidated”

The closure effectively hobbles the VA’s efforts to investigate and eliminate long-standing racial inequities that the department itself has acknowledged. “The consequences will be dire, wide-reaching and deadly,” an advocate for Black veterans said.

The US has pressured Ukraine into accepting a 30 day ceasefire to negotiate a permanent peace in Ukraine.
One likely scenario is this:
Putin is running out of resources, so he will accept and send a delegation demanding that Ukraine accepts all of Russia’s terms, that all of the 5 occupied oblasts of Ukraine are now Russian.
Ukraine will say no to having their land stolen this way, and Trump will then claim that it is all Ukraine’s fault, that peace was not achieved.

@kallekn exactly.
Putin will now demand unreasonable things like having all sanctions lifted, having the 5 occupied oblasts recognized as Russian, and demanding that Europe can place no peacekeepers in Ukraine —and voila — Trump's blame switches back to Ukraine.
We have a clown in charge and it is about to get really dangerous.
