revenue jumped 50% in a month and they're using that to inform their estimated ARR?????

and to that I say... hell yea

damn Harris really was a disastrously bad candidate

There is a class of Serious Intellectual who constantly gets things wrong — often disastrously wrong — but they are given a platform because their analyses are wrong in the way that other "serious" people are wrong, which just happens to align with the material interests of the rich and powerful.

the NYT must be... Dealt With to call this journalistic malpractice is legitimately underselling it. just an insane dereliction of duty.

the only real takeaway from this article is that Trump surrounded himself with a bunch of sycophants and fucking cowards and every call for this cabinet to trigger the 25th amendment is a farce www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

the only almost barfight I've had since turning 30 was basically this exact situation. pool tables at pool halls only.

a lot of Democrats did not want to discuss Project 2025 because they did not have a proactive plan to counter it with. they are also a backwards looking party now.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

this might be the loserest post I've ever seen on the interwebs

i had to briefly log into twitter for last week for the first time in almost two years and holy SHIT i'm worried about anyone that has continued to mainline that. swimming through bots and racists and racist bots

it helps to remember that she doesn't like Chicago ownership and has wanted out since the fired T Spoon

The thing is is that the critics of Biden were proven right and they were proven so right that Kamala Harris wrote in her book and has admitted on her book tour multiple times that they were right.

Some people get irritated but the fact is that the war on Iran is currently the most consequential issue in the world. Period. The implications are uncalculable.

just watched a full 4 minute news segment showing additional security at St Patrick's cathedral and other churches "because of the ongoing Iran Wars". we're a society of babies.

Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,

I wrote this *before* the war: how we should expect the aggression against Iran to resemble the Israeli destruction of civilian infrastructure of Gaza, a crucial component of the genocide.

the accumulation of executive discretion as if it were a substitute for congressional legislation has, in immigration as in so much else, been kind of a shitshow

"go jump in a lake", "take a long walk off a short pier", "put an egg in your shoe and beat it", "go peddle your papers" these are just some of the violent, actionable threats journalists and academics face every two to three months on bluesky, or as some call it The Murder Website.

we, in fact, do not have to baby doll muhfuggin Dawn Staley. she's fine!

we're doing discourse over a 10 second coach dust up about... GENO AUREIEMMA

Matty is flat out hallucinating a constituency for his weird grievances

it's only a campus antisemitism crisis when it involves students protesting genocide

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Everyone upset about “America bad” posting needs to reckon with this being what America does

this is your brain on NIMBY YIMBY reductionism

may this be the beginning of something

it cannot be emphasized enough how much of a nothing burger that was. not a single ounce of new information. it was just Trump trying to rewrite the narrative because he's mad the news is covering the war poorly and they keep talking about gas prices

this is truly american imperialism baring it's full ugly face

dawg... Trump really just did this because he's mad that the press isn't covering the war with the spin and framing he wants. this is just NONSENSE.

dawg oils and fats is redundant here and using cocoa butter is just using an unsaturated plant fat/oil. I hate how dumb everybody is.

open your third eye (lukewarm take at best if you know anything about this country)

going back in time but to make the Wordle guy sell to somebody less harmful, like Exxon

there is a real thrill to perfectly loading a camera and squeezing 39 shots onto a 36 shot roll of film

heh

Also well past time to ask why the institution is so easily transformed?

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Underrated that the era of neoliberal globalism characterized by fierce defense of intellectual property as rents, patents, and copyrights gave way so quickly to a new paradigm marked by the blithe plunder of all human creativity for LLM training data.

When I read up on Israeli history, it becomes clear that Israel has a particular doctrine for expanding its borders. Scorched Earth. Turning the land into a wasteland, forcibly displacing countless civilians, and then move in the settlers as they redraw the borders. Sie wollen Lebensraum, ja?

anthony davis prank show, the rock in live action moana, al michaels is still calling NFL games…something has to give

CBS gonna boot up an ICE procedural series before 2026 is over

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

This is kinda the only use of polling though, isn't it? of course most aren't this egregious but if it didn't facilitate the desired outcomes of the people paying for the poll would we hear about it?

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Bewildering levels of racism informing our government

I can keep going. I covered it while it was happening.

Ack is so incredibly not new to this. He is, in fact, very true to this!

This is completely psychotic. He’s just a guy. And they’ve turned the full power of the nation against him because they fucked up their cleansing operation with him so badly.
