“I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race,” he wrote.

Ugh terrible. Like how do you receive a letter like this and still think "yeah I'm the right one and not a racist POS war mongering profiteer". Theres no shame anymore

OLED tech gets better every year

Built in pixel shifts and better hardware is making burn-in on OLEDs a lot more comparable to the normal amount of burn-in LCDs and plasmas experience

If you can afford it, OLED everytime for everything imo

"Of the total announced on Wednesday, $5.2 billion in forgiveness went to about 66,900 borrowers who qualified through adjustments that the Education Department made to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. It aids teachers, firefighters, and other government and nonprofit workers.

About $600 million in relief will go to around 54,300 borrowers who are enrolled in the SAVE plan, which ties monthly payments to income and household size, and who took out smaller loans for graduate school. All borrowers enrolled in the plan can receive forgiveness after 25 years at the most, but borrowers who took out $12,000 in loans or less can qualify after 10 years of payments."

Awesome seeing this all go to long term payers and public service workers!! Helping loyal citizens is exactly why we institute a governing body

Adding Xfinity - Comcast to this list

Yes that is good to hear! Hopefully they never find him

"A new study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated – a group comprised of atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is "nothing in particular" – is now the largest cohort in the U.S."

Interesting that 3/10 people globally have myopia (near sightedness)... that's absurdly high. And as the trends stay as they are they are only predicting an increase

I guess it proves humans as a whole are focusing more on screens, books, and other short visions tasks

Focusing on providing safe outdoor spaces for everyone has never been more important

That's an interesting point!

Any animal that changes or metamorphosises into a different animal technically has a less than 100% mortality rate

"LOTR: The search for more money"

The Hilux isn’t a SUV, it’s an pickup truck.

"Police body cam footage showed an officer chasing Teddy (pictured) around a large field and making several unsuccessful attempts to catch him before shooting the dog dead"

Whaaaaat?????!!!

"...Finally, when Main’s own health declined before the spider’s, she passed the project on to Leanda Mason.."

Absolutely mental

Well it's a scaling effect and diminishing returns

To the human eye 480p vs 1080p is significant but 4k vs 8k is hard to tell

I think focusing on new technologies such as AI upscaling/world generation or VR is a better use of developers time and pushes the industry back into the innovative space it's supposed to be

"The government should have ordered back pay from servicers to the borrowers including interest. As well as an investigation and criminal charges if evidence shows they were intentionally failing to forgive loans intentionally. And the government should be returned any funds they paid these servicers to operate PSLF."

Love this idea
Funny you mention exactly what I tell folks who push back against this - these programs already existed and have for awhile. They're good programs designed to help justify people entering the public sector as opposed to everyone starting a private for-profit practice!

Assuming you're a guy by that statement how many women have you raped and been nasty too? Or are you the only magical exception and the rest of us men are animals?

“Listen, going through hard things, and I’ve been through a few of them — I’m going through one right now, I mean they’re just attacking me like crazy right now,” Noem said Saturday during her speech at a Republican donor retreat hosted by Trump in Palm Beach, Florida

How fucking rich. I hope the leopards thoroughly eat her face

When you graduate from Warthog instead of Hogwarts

I believe Charlie Chaplin did similar stunts back in the day

The end results are badass though. Totally looks like they are dangling in peril

Edit: Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton. Not Charlie Chaplin

"The dog"...

You mean PORTHOS! Give them some respect!

As long as ethical and natural dyes are used- and as another commenter pointed out dogs are probably more suited/relaxed for a zoo environment than most zoo animals - I personally think it's fine.
Its not like they are gonna be dyed and on display indefinitely. And I assume visitors werent charged extra or under the impression they would expect real pandas at this mystery display
