Air Force leadership on Thursday sent an urgent request to service members asking them to nominate colleagues who have a
“highly professional image”
to stand behind Trump for a formal announcement on Friday.
The directive, which originated with the White House Military Office and was channeled through the Chief of Staff of the Air Force,
is referring to Trump’s scheduled announcement about rebranding the Defense Department

Air Force Urges Personnel With ‘Highly Professional Image’ To Stand With Trump At Event
The White House wants to curate an image of fine-looking service members standing behind Trump when he announces his new nickname for the Defense Department.

The term "blockbuster" was applied to hit movies in the 50s, using a 40s nickname for a type of massively destructive bomb.
So now "blockbuster" and "massive bomb" are both synonyms and antonyms.

This is so funny for me. For decades, New Buffalo was a name on a sign, the first exit off I-94 entering #Michigan on the many trips from Chicago & St. Louis to Onekama & Empire… Notably lacking in anything worth stopping for. Back then...

A tiny township in Michigan, best known as a vacation resort area, has become one of the top markets for marijuana sales. And it now has a new nickname: New Puffalo.

@… I get the nickname part. I call it Charlie Gupta. You know, the guy in the pub who knows everything, and has an opinion on everything and will tell it to you, with all the confidence in the world. Accuracy is not his strength.

This MAGA nickname is being whispered by Facebook staff behind their boss's back - Raw Story
https://www.rawstory.com/zuckerberg-trump-2672407139/

"A society under “number go up” tends towards evil. The men and women behind an excessively high rate of return often make deeply sinful and immoral choices, little different than the Confederate plantation owners did in whipping slaves or lords in castles did when abusing serfs. That they do it with spreadsheets doesn’t make it better. (We even use old terminology: I know of several people in a large health insurance conglomerate who set policies to deny care whose nickname is “the three witches.”)
And that’s why Jeff Epstein’s story is so compelling, it expresses this evil in a way that we all understand. On Sunday, I wrote about the oddness of the story, how an elite sex trafficker convicted of procuring children as prostitutes was friends or associates with everyone from Trump to Bill Clinton to Larry Summers to Bill Gates. Epstein represents how elites live in one moral universe where evil bacchanalia is rampant, while the rest of us live in a different more normal one. Every society has elites, and there are always weird things that elites do. But America, and the West, have reached a point where there is increasingly deep resentment and cynicism about this divide."

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg‘s recent public support for Donald Trump did not come as a shock to those who know or have closely worked with him.
Dozens of people who have either worked with or known Zuckerberg told the Financial Times that the CEO’s more public shift toward Trump is just Zuckerberg displaying the more “authentic” version of himself to the world,
even though he was once known to support liberal ideology and voiced opposition to Trump’s policies during the first admini…

I thought that “Alligator Alcatraz” was a nickname set by oppositors, not the actual name of the disgraceful place.
These people don’t cease to surprise me with their cruelty. https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/114834996595530816

MGVQ: Could VQ-VAE Beat VAE? A Generalizable Tokenizer with Multi-group Quantization
Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoders (VQ-VAEs) are fundamental models that compress continuous visual data into discrete tokens. Existing methods have tried to improve the quantization strategy for better reconstruction quality, however, there still exists a large gap between VQ-VAEs and VAEs. To narrow this gap, we propose \NickName, a novel method to augment the representation capability of discrete codebooks, facilitating easier optimization for codebooks and minimizing information loss…

Study of a giant Large Magellanic Cloud Supernova Remnant, Veliki (J0450.4-7050)
We present a high-resolution radio-continuum view and a multi-frequency analysis of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) Supernova Remnant (SNR) J0450.4-7050, which we give the nickname Veliki. These high-resolution observations reveal a larger extent than previously measured, making J0450.4-7050 one of the largest SNRs that we know of. Additionally, we observe a higher than expected radio surface brightness and an unusually flat spectral index ($α= -0.26 \pm 0.02$), with little spectral variation…
