The hard part here that I may fail at is can one be the better kinder person they wish they were even of they dont always feel that way. One is judged by how they react to others, and reacting with kindness even if it has to be forced, even if pretend, is better than just letting your negative feelings out on others. Unless you were born perfect one is going to have trauma, laziness, annoyance, contempt, whatever and have to work through that themselves as I don't think its fair to make negative feelings your partners problem to resolve. They make a distinction between annoyance, frustration and contempt but I don't see those as all that different, you only get annoyed when frustrated and have given up on either party being capable of making the interaction better, which means you are beyond curiosity and shared problem solving, I think if you are letting those feeling show then you have already failed as a person and a partner and one should always try to do their best to keep themselves under control so as not to hurt their family.

I dunno, one can only try to be the best person they can, they can't demand the same from their partner, within limits if the partner perpetrates active harm/abuse against the family.

Hey, New Yorkers: Mayor Mamdani is recreating the city's digital service, after Mayor Adams destroyed it. They're hiring devs, designers, and product folks to work on-site in Brooklyn, starting now. You don't even have to be a city resident. Get on it!

*sigh* I read the Stars and Stripes when I was in the service some 30 years ago, they were often reporting issues of relevance to service members that the national media just didn't cover, eg. continuous cover of IED strikes and casualties which I was shocked to see largely ignored by the general press.

Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo did something that stunned the world during the 2010 Zheng-Kai Marathon when she witnessed a disabled competitor struggling to drink water who was a double amputee. Instead of seeing her moment to run ahead of this struggling athlete, she ran alongside him from the 6.2-mile mark to the 23-mile mark (10km mark to the 38km mark), helping him drink water at all of the watering stations. The aide that she so compassionately provided her fellow competitor slowed her run time down and caused her to lose her first place position and place 2nd in the race — costing her the win and the $10,000 cash prize.
Jacqueline Nyetipei Kiplimo showed the world that day that to her, being compassionate and helping one another was more important than winning a race that she had been preparing for her entire life. Now, this is what a true leader looks like, one that never leaves someone behind, disadvantaged or otherwise.

Fascinating poster from the American Holocaust Museum. Thank goodness we aren't exhibiting any of these right now.

"A cyclist is a disaster for the country's economy: he does not buy cars and does not borrow money to buy. He does not pay for insurance policies. He does not buy fuel, does not pay for the necessary maintenance and repairs. He does not use paid parking. He does not cause serious accidents. He does not require multi-lane highways. He does not get fat.
Healthy people are neither needed nor useful for the economy. They don't buy medicine. They do not go to hospitals or doctors. Nothing is added to the country's GDP (gross domestic product).
On the contrary, every new McDonald's restaurant creates at least 30 jobs: 10 cardiologists, 10 dentists, 10 dietary experts and nutritionists, and obviously, people who work at the restaurant itself."
Choose carefully: cyclist or McDonald's? It is worth considering.
P.S. Walking is even worse. Pedestrians don't even buy bicycles.
P.P.S. If you have read this far and still don't get it, this post is SATIRE. Reread it with this in mind.

How much would you pay to trust an algorithm that hallucinates you into a crash?

“In the crash footage, there’s a shadow across the road from a “Watch for Trucks” sign. My theory? Tesla’s neural net saw that shadow and panicked.

Instead of recognizing it as just a dark spot on the pavement, the system may have hallucinated an obstacle and took evasive action—by jerking left, directly off the road.

Insane? Yes. But this is how Tesla’s so-called “neural network” sees the world. It doesn’t use LIDAR. It doesn’t use radar. It relies on vision only, and so it can misinterpret 2-dimensional images that are processed through machine learning that’s notoriously difficult to debug or explain after the fact.”

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

Overton politics

I'm happy for the Biden family, and the Clinton and Obama families, to help in whatever way that can, maybe by reaching people who trust and admire them, but they arent going to be center stage because they represent the past and we need to be focused on the future. So if they are willing to _follow_ who ever emerges as the new leadership, then wonderful, happy to see them, but if they want to be in *charge*, then no thanks

This picture feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.
The colours are original: this is an autochrome, using the first process for colour photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.
The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
