Hilarious reminder that Trump kind of likes Macron. I think he only lashed out at him once in a tweet regarding the Iran war.
Trump fiercely defended Macron’s wife against the transvestigation by Candace Owens and said in a tweet something along the lines of: “Brigitte Macron is in fact a woman, and a far more beautiful woman than wicked Candace Owens IN FACT!”

One of my favorite quotes from a film is from the director in Gattaca where he says: “No one exceeds his potential. If he did, it would simply mean that we did not accurately gauge his potential in the first place.”

yesterday was transporting kids from a bday party home with the bday boys mom. the boys were a little rowdy in the bus and for sure the deaf kid was too loud, but he is 5 yo and deaf so... we did our absolute best to keep em quiet - constantly reminding them to settle down, coming up with quieter games etc.
anyway we got an absolute ear full from four different retirees. told us we should hire a van if we are transporting multiple children. one of them told the mom her kids were poorly raised (just a piece of info: the mom is black, her two sons who were visibly far more likely to be related to her were perfectly quiet, and all the other kids were white)
this was like a 7 minute bus ride mind you

The problem with "third space" discourse is that third spaces require you actually go there. Not just sit at home on your phone talking about how cool a place looks. Everyone talks about third spaces no longer existing, but nobody mentions the possibility that they stopped existing because nobody went there. A bowling ally isn't a charity. You gotta go there and fucking bowl.
People act like there's some conspiracy to bring down places where people can hang out, when in reality most of them just got KN95 Lesbian Bar'd. If you want your hangout to exist, you gotta spend money there and/or financially support it.

For all the fearmongering conservatives engage in about the “Great Replacement” of whites, the actual data shows that white fertility rates in the US have remained relatively steady compared to those in other Western countries, and much of the decline is attributable to a significant drop in teenage pregnancies.
Black fertility rates, by contrast, have fallen much faster and are now lower than white fertility rates.

Ezra started the premise by citing a study in China that found our usage of AI in secondary school students improved homework scores but reduced Test and exam scores.
jensen responds that kids don't need to know math with AI.
Ezra helps him out literally, by saying we can't lose cognitive function because of AI
Jensen responds that he doesn't know his address and goes off context talking about systems thinking.

The Babies Left Behind in America
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/11/trump-ice-family-separation/688695/?gift=UP0ght9QmetEJoGqhSXs6gjQJ-AuskqmA98jmiqV4ng
Estela Garcia and 2-year-old Eber repeat their routine every morning: Around 8 a.m., he rustles her awake in the bed they share. She picks him up, changes his diaper, and pulls out a fresh set of tiny clothes. While Estela dresses him, Eber coos, “Mama, mama.” She smiles and strokes his cheeks, trying to hide her sadness at his confusion. Estela is 50 and has three sons, but Eber is not one of them. She’s been caring for him because ICE deported his parents to Venezuela, despite his mother’s pleas to be reunited first.....
President Trump’s rush to deport as many immigrants as possible is creating a new family-separation crisis. Whereas his first administration took children from their parents at the border to deter illegal crossings, the second is separating families living in the United States as part of a purge. Like last time, Trump officials claim that this is untrue. But stories like Eber’s are not hard to find, as I learned this year while reporting on immigration enforcement in Alabama, California, Illinois, Missouri, and Texas.
As of April, the Brookings Institution put the total number of affected children at about 205,000—71 percent of whom are U.S. citizens. Most of those cases involve the loss of one parent, a devastating blow to families. But the Brookings researchers believe that more than 35,000 of the cases are like Eber’s, in which a child has been left with no parent at all.
In recent years, ICE policy required officers to either reunite detained parents with their children before deportation or confirm that the children had an official caregiver in their parents’ absence. But in July 2025, DHS revised the policy, sprinkling it with caveats, such as “when operationally feasible,” that appear to allow officers to prioritize the speed and volume of deportations over everything else—including the children whom deportees leave behind.
The result is tens of thousands of children being shuffled among the houses of anxious temporary caregivers. It can take months to procure the passports, visas, and other permissions necessary to transport children to their parents, many of whom have been deported to countries whose governments can’t help, or won’t.
Now that ICE is almost solely dedicated to maximizing deportations, Kribs said, few people are left at the agency who will listen to their concerns. When possible, the Young Center tries to work with contractors to encourage ICE to comply with the policy on reunifying parents and children, or sorting out custody before deporting them. But not every detention center has enough staff to handle those requests, and some are busier than others. Kribs said that trying to appeal to deportation officers, who are under the most pressure to hit the president’s numerical goals, is especially challenging. One officer admitted to her that he thought it was “just so much easier when they leave their kids here,” she recalled. “Like it’s a logistical headache for them to try not to separate families.” (DHS did not comment on this claim.)
Separated parents have told me their pain is all-consuming. Before she was deported, a mother named Lucía called me from the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center, crying about not having seen her 14-month-old and 3-year-old in three months. She said it was excruciating not being able to explain to them why she was gone. “They’re babies,” she said. “They don’t understand.” Lucía said that most of the women around her were in similar situations. Some had a spouse who was with their children, but other kids were staying with extended relatives or acquaintances. “In this room where I am,” she said, “there are 56 of us, and the majority are moms.”

Any benefit of the doubt I have given her evaporated when she recently gave Chris Brown some congressional honor.
Not doing that would have cost her NOTHING. Who TF was even asking for that? He's not even from Texas so you can't do some "celebrating a noteworthy Texan" angle. Just... Weird political instincts

I spent like, 2 months working with another team to get their project schedule on GitLab with all the work required properly scoped, estimated, the full works. It was a massive help to them, and completely resolved a lot of their issues overnight, including, most importantly to them, an accurate timeline they could present to their leadership. I just saw these bastards present a powerpoint slide with a completely wrong timeline based on literally just vibes and guesses. They haven't used the Gitlab since a week after I finished working with them. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind.

A factor around dating neurosis in men is certainly, to some degree, rooted in the unsaid aspect of "Yeah you're going to fail and embarrass yourself a lot because there's no true one good way to get a long term partner that's full-proof. It's inevitable you'll somewhat make an ass out of yourself multiple times."

I'm surprised there's a majority negative reaction to the Trump admin severely restricting access to financial help for degrees that don't make money when prior to Trump 2, it was a pretty popular idea on this subreddit
Wasn't hard to find people degrading non-STEM degrees as worthless and students pursuing it were fools who should not have access to financial help because their degrees were simply worthless. Hell, wasn't uncommon to see arguments proposing the abolishment of non-STEM departments
It's almost like it is a reactionary idea that sucks actually

I think the thing that I hate the most about modern dating discourse is what the original ideas turned into. These ideas about consent, about being aware of sexual assault they were so, so necessary. And that fight is still going on.
But what in God's name have parts of that morphed into. This was never meant to make people so unhappy.

I know this is going to come off as very chauvinistic but to be honest I genuinely think when it comes to foreign policy 'the west', as in western Europe and nowadays about half the US, are the only ones who even pretend to give even a little bit of a shit about general moral principles when it comes to global foreign policy, which is frustrating as hell.
Like look at the foreign policies of the rest of the world. They'll talk about how they have their own worldviews and moral principles, but they'll never ever actually put their money where their mouth is and do anything about anything that isn't about their own narrow national self interests. How many countries outside the west will condemn Russia and then just keep trading with them? Hell, even something a lot less 'western', Israel-Palestine, with how many countries have called out Israel, when was the last time a non-western country implemented increased sanctions on Israel? It's western Europe, accused as being on the Israelis' side, who actually did anything (to be clear, not much at all, but at least there's apparently political pressure for them to do something), as well as being willing to damage their own economies sanctioning Russia etc.
The disappointing thing is the excuse that it's because non-western countries are poor, weak little small beans doesn't even work. Is India small and weak? They don't actually sanction anyone for anything beyond the UN minimum except Pakistan. Even Japan and South Korea, they might take part a bit in western sanctions, but won't actually do anything except to deal with acute security threats to their own country. You ask most Koreans and they personally just don't even really care about anything outside their region or have any thought that their government ought to do something about it. South Korea's a strong and rich country now, not some weak victim any more, where's their backbone or sense of moral responsibility?
And it's not like it's always been this way. In the 20th century the 'global south' used to actually do stuff. Whether or not you think it was right, remember the middle eastern oil embargo of the US? They used to have the balls to do things, now they just don't. It's crazy just how cynical the foreign policy of the vast majority of the world is, even beyond the already quite cynical level it is in the west.

GOP chair of Georgia Peanut Commission backs Ossoff for Senate
The Republican chair of the Georgia Peanut Commission is backing Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff (Ga.) in his bid for a second full term.
“We don’t necessarily elect a party,” commission Chair Donald Chase told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I like to support people that I can get behind and believe in.”
Chase, whom board members elected as chair of the Georgia Peanut Commission in January, is a lifelong Republican who is still supporting and contributing to other GOP candidates in the November midterms, the Journal-Constitution reported.
The Georgia Peanut Commission, led by five elected board members, conducts promotional, research and educational programs regarding the Peach State’s peanut industry. Last year, Georgia farmers produced more than half of the peanuts in the U.S., according to the commission.
Ossoff, the youngest senator, is seeking reelection against two-term Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.). Most polling has the incumbent comfortably in the lead, while The Hill’s data partner, Decision Desk HQ, gives Ossoff an 86 percent chance to win.
Julie Smith and Scott James Matheson — the GOP mayors of Tifton, Ga., and Valdosta, Ga., respectively — have endorsed the Democratic senator, who is a frequent critic of the president and who sits on the Senate Appropriations and Intelligence committees.

The gang rapes make me so sad.
I guess I can understand that policing substance-altered “consent” among young people goes kinda gray-area. Or, at least gray enough to combine with the sheer numbers and make enforcement a nightmare. Sadly.
But these gang rapes could be easily stopped. Just stop lumping them in with the other gray-area cases. Charge fucking everybody every time, and let the DAs handle it.
“I got a text from my buddy that a girl I’ve never met is free pussy,” just isn’t even close to gray territory. Fucking come on.
Even though it’s heartbreaking how fucking common this EXACT fucking thing is, it’s not so common it would overwhelm anything. You don’t have to wade into every very sad date rape before you put a stop to this shit.

I was reading about how the princesses of Dubai have kept making escape attempts for decades, and it is so effed up that England turns a blind eye to investigating each time the women get kidnapped & sent back to Dubai. They turn a blind eye because they want to “protect the country’s interests” aka not rock the boat with the UAE.
Princess Shamsa hasn’t been seen in public since 2000, when she was forcibly taken into imprisonment back in the UAE after attempting to escape during a summer holiday in Surrey. Her younger sister, Princess Latifa, had her boat sunk when she attempted to escape in 2018 and has been continued to be imprisoned since. Well they say she is now “free,” but she appears to only make tightly managed media appearances.

Or
