Flag flown upside down as sign of distress outside of US State Department building today
That seems like a very bad sign. Someone wanted a message to get out to the public, but I'm not entirely sure what can be effectively done about it. Credit to the person with the balls to send out the warning, though.

Did anybody see what happened to the spider experiments box over near the airlock? I could have sworn that was where I left it.

The Short and Ridiculous Trial of a Protester Arrested in an Inflatable Penis Costume
I need someone who understands law better than myself to clarify here -- not only did the prosecutor call a witness not on the list, but that witness was the spouse of the defendant?? I realize this is Alabama, and I may be a caveman lawyer (#notalawyer #notyourlawyer), but isn't this wildly inadmissable? If this story is true, shouldn't Cracker Jack lose their legal degree accreditation, because that seems to be where these participants got theirs? Or do l need to return to my cave?

The Stanford Prison Experiment was massively influential. We just learned it was a fraud.
"We just learned" is a bit of a stretch. Here is a Medium post from 2020, which cites previous interviews and Jon Ronson's 2015 book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed," that explains the problems with the infamous experiment: https://medium.com/invisible-illness/have-we-gotten-the-stanford-prison-experiment-all-wrong-fad09471e79c
Edit: Ah, title is straight from the Vox title, and that article is from 2018

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice"
Also, insurrectionist aren't allowed to hold office, but the Supreme Court said, "Meh, as long as the people are willing to vote for one, it's cool." The one about term limits is more obvious, so it's a more blatant potential violation, sure, but the current Court has already shown a willingness to ignore the Constitution if it benefits their guy.

Trump to create religious office in White House, target 'anti-Christian bias'
Seems a little like state sponsored religion. Now, call me crazy, but I think the Constitution said something on that topic. Not that that matters anymore.

Seriously. You might just be the baddie when you have to walk into Target with guns drawn, facemasks up, with an entire posse, just to take a leak.

How did indigenous people survive hurricanes in the carribean
Hurricanes could, and did, wipe out entire communities. It's easy to forget how important the study of meteorology is, as well as how vital modern weather satellites are, in keeping people safe.
As one example of massive damage done in the not terribly distant past: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1900_Galveston_hurricane

I want to know how difficult it will be for them to look back at their texts, extract the phone number, and backtrace it to the owner. Because I don't think it will be very difficult.

Does this mean those owing state taxes to Alabama can deduct all their frozen embryos on their taxes?

*Permanently Deleted*
So, they added an MCP server with write database privileges? And not just development environment database privileges, but prod privileges? And have some sort of integration testing that runs in their prod system that is controlled by AI? And rather than having the AI run these tests and report the results, it has been instructed to "fix" the broken tests IN PROD?? If real, this isn't an AI problem. This is either a fake or some goober who doesn't know what he's doing and using AI to "save" money over hiring competent engineers.

What happened to FlyingSquid?
Last I saw, he moved back to the UK and was struggling to find a job. The sudden, unexpected lack of communication is certainly concerning.
