Uhhh, what the fuck?

There was this huge hullabaloo about Google employees forming a union, but I'm assuming that went nowhere considering how ruthless the company was with it's layoffs. Anyone got the full scoop?

AFAIK, their war lay primarily in the Pacific, and beyond supporting the Brits and Russians materially, I’m not really sure why the US would want to involve themselves physically in the European theatre. I do feel fear of Germans beating them to the bomb might have something to do with it, but that’s just conjecture.

Brightline supposedly represents “The Surprising Success of Private Passenger Rail”

I legit thought it was theory but google just drowned me in a deluge of memes

I like solo play, was wondering if I can spice things up by throwing an LLM in the mix. The way I tried currently becomes messy real soon, so I was wondering if someone who's successfully tried something like this could give me some pointers

The first one is, I believe, related to the Spanish Civil War and goes something like "...on any given day, we were fighting the fascists, the syndicalists, the anarchists [or some such variation of denominations]..."

I feel like I might be hallucinating the second one, but it's about this Czech dude who regrets protesting against the Soviet Union for such things as jeans and Hi-Fi systems not realizing that things such as housing were at stake.

Would be really great if you guys could help me out with sources for the above!

From the article:

I visited the site in November 2004, just as Polish troops were preparing to hand it over to the Iraqi authorities. The late Donny George, then head of the Iraq Museum, had warned me in Baghdad about the terrible damage done to the site by the Polish military. He was aghast at reports of soldiers filling sandbags with earth containing archaeological fragments; of armoured vehicles crushing sixth-century BC bricks on the Processional Way; of looters gouging out pieces of dragons from the Ishtar Gate; of digging, levelling, compacting and gravelling in this ancient city. “It’s mankind’s greatest heritage site,” he said. “You don’t just start digging it up to make more room for your tanks.”
