how we got here

I continue to be awed by the communications mastery from my kids' school district superintendent every time *something* happens. If this is possible from a small, suburban school district superintendent it is readily available to our national leaders and makes their failures more stark

just choked on my beverage

The best news of Bovino's firing is that Tom Homan is going to take over leadership of the operations. I.e., he will be the next one into the wood chipper when they inevitably fuck up too badly.

They're too old to make it through a full shift.

CIGNETTI SMILE ALERT @sickoscommittee.org

Indiana feels inevitable

Where is my CignettiCam broadcast option ESPN? I don’t care what happens on the field I want to experience this game by continually watching Cignetti’s facial expression (singular)

Why are Seattle’s starters still playing? I don’t get it

Going from Tony Romo (best color guy in NFL broadcasts) to Tom Brady is 🥴

Dude I have no clue what a catch is in the NFL

what a legend lmao

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

Holy hell, what an obituary

Remember: every minute of their time that you waste is a minute they can't be abusing someone else. Make the most of it. Embrace it. Turn it into a game.

Am I the only one tracking that there's another federal budget deadline looming on January 31? (It's fucking up my travel arrangements for a TDY in early Feb is why I know…). Seems like it's not being talked about in the press much esp vis-a-vis ICE doing brown shirt things

This game may be horribly boring but watching Rodgers get pounded into the ground repeatedly makes it worth it

someone's gotta go in and tighten the gyre. we can't be having all this widening, it's not sustainable

Mendoza is an incredible QB but he sounds like an used car dealer on cocaine in every interview. Or a religious missionary. I hate it

Not a single sideline shot of Cignetti yet. Shameful. Give the people what they want (a continuous inset feed of Cignetti’s face)

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

I don’t normally like gimmick football feed channels but I would love a main broadcast feed with an inset showing Cignetti’s face at all times

oof, the Onion print edition hitting close to home this month

Dan Lanning is an insane person

I don't want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?

Just put three stitches in my neighbors thigh in his kitchen after he cut it open with a hand axe making a fire for their fire place. Merry Christmas!

My ten year old was in the other room eating Cup O Noodles and spilled them and yelled and every horrifying ramen burn from the burn ICU and PICU I’ve cared for flared in my mind. Fortunately just got a little on her leg and she’ll be fine. Made a big mess tho

I think it’s great the internet is passing around the CECOT piece but let’s be real: the number of people whose minds can be changed that are also technologically literate enough to watch it this way rounds to zero. They didn’t want Boomers and Xers seeing it. No one else watches 60 Minutes anyway

HASSETT: If the Supreme Court doesn't find with us, refunds would go to whoever cut the check for the tariff BRENNAN: Doesn't the administration claim it was the country that paid that? HASSETT: Uhh --

I cannot imagine a less suitable pairing of celebrity and brand than Nick Offerman and Carnival Cruiselines. Rob Swanson would never

A responsible follow up question to such a revelation would be “which 10%?”

I used google to look for a journal article about calcium channel blocker use in frostbite that I’d read before. I read the AI summary and it just completely made up a new drug that’s being investigated for this use. Like it’s not a real drug.

FanDuel stock should spike tomorrow based on this. Take it to the bank.

this is a great example of knowing a rule to break it. for portraits, you’d ask someone to take a few steps away from a wall. that way, you introduce sharper subject-to-background separation and minimize unsightly shadows. here, these distracting elements highlight how uncomfortable these people are

Okay so today I found the greatest use of GenAI.mil. I’ve been using NIPRgpt to answer annual mandatory training questions for awhile, but many trainings have flash modules that don’t allow copy and pasting the question and transcribing them takes about as long as just doing the test

I am bereft The amount of suffering these vaccines have prevented is unfathomable

There already is, and has been, a military authorized LLM. There have been a few in fact but the best and still existing one is NIPRGPT

one of my all time favorite movies

This is absolute bullshit. iykyk

if you study hard, make sacrifices, fail a few times, keep going, get into a competitive program, prove yourself, spend wisely, save money, plan your budget, take care of your body, and pay it forward, you can see it all go up in flames just to make eight or nine god-emperors even more money

They've only had 15 years to come up with a counter proposal to Obamacare, it being due in 3 weeks does seem rather unfair

I mean, this is an execution

Somewhere in Dallas Harlan Crow telling his accountant right now to amortize Clarence Thomas as a business expense again this year.

magnificent

Our rule by unelected law wizards is permanent until actuarial tables dictate otherwise

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

When we finally get to read the legal opinions undergirding the boat strikes they're going to make John Yoo look like Richard Posner in comparison.

At my hospital I often say "people in carpeted offices" shouldn't get to make patient care decisions. If your office floor isn't linoleum you're too far from patients to make decisions about their care.
