hey Mom can you come pick me up. yeah everyone on the niche microblogging website is arguing about who has the correct emotional posture to the unknowable future again

I had to look up Lizardman's Constant: the 4% of people who will tell a pollster lizard people are taking over the world, ie the minimum answer you will get for even the most absurd question.

Based on quick research here, Viktor Arvidsson is first player in Bruins history (at least history that’s trackable) to have 10 shots on goal while playing under 14 minutes (13:50).

Swayman on what Korpisalo says to him after a win like tonight: “It’s a lot of love, lot of cuss words.”

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it. Next week is what will break you.

We could have paid teachers at any time. We could have simply offered a dignified wage to do any of the work we need done at any time. San Fransisco could be clean right now. It was always a matter of political will.

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

Man, if I stumble into making tens of millions of dollars I hope I have the good sense to shut the fuck up and build a bunch of libraries and fund food banks so when I check out peoples first response isn’t “So, that asshole’s done.” The bar. It is SO LOW.

Dogbert weighing Scott Adams’ heart against a feather

The @wired.com guide to ICE invading your neighborhood:

Great question! It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider. The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

@mattielubchansky.com whether intended or not your "claude voice" tone on that last one was fucking brilliant (complimentary)

Before the word hacker meant anything at all there was a blind kid who whistled 2600 Hz and bent Ma Bell to his will. Joybubbles tells the story of Joe Engressi, the original phone phreak and a reminder that hacking started as curiosity, play, and defiance. festival.sundance.org/program/film...

"you can see ours when we see the complete epstein files"

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Alien has a deliberate pace: there’s time to introduce the entire scifi world and explain how the crew travels long distances, it shows everyone’s respective job on the ship and how they go about work and interact, it has long leisurely shots, and then the Alien shit happens and it’s still two hours

This is just what you like to see on here

you know stranger things is over because like four times they had characters say "...and then finally, this whole thing will be over" once and it would have been a wink from the writers; more than that and they clearly cannot wait to move on

sysadmin hits different now

Mac users: do you do the long-click on a word to pop up its definition? Do you also find the built-in dictionary to be a bit lackluster? You can add your own dictionaries! Let me explain how to add the Webster's 1913 edition, which is one of my favorites.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

i'm pretty sure she had no lines in season 5 she hadn't already had in previous seasons

OBAA was an excellent use of music; the Stranger Things finale meanwhile felt like someone was pitching endings and instead they just decided to do all of them?

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

I happen to know quite a bit about Venezuelan oil. TL;DR it’s hard to extract, notoriously investor-endangering, isn’t needed (global crude is oversupplied to the tune of 3.3 min bpd) and isn’t easily refined (it’s too dense so always sold at a heavy discount) www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...
