Attending a memorial this morning for a friend who decided to leave the party far too early, at least as far as the rest of us are concerned. Go tell someone you love how much they mean to you. Go make some art. Ensure the world is more beautiful because of you, and the community you raise up. 🤍

Let's see if I hear back from "Coinbase." What time is it in the Philippines right now?

I slam the NYT when it normalizes Trump and reaches for neutral language to characterize his batshit craziness. But here they got it right.

I've never gotten an engraved case with AirPods before, imagine my shock when the SETUP ANIMATION ON THE PHONE showed the engraving that was ON THE PHYSICAL CASE #airpods

As we head into Rosh Hashanah, a very important point of order from Canadian Senate Hansard (1984) :p

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

Donald Trump — who filed a defamation suit against the New York Times on Tuesday seeking $15 billion — told reporters, "We'll probably go after you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your heart. Maybe they'll have to go after you."

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Here’s what Jimmy Kimmel said that prompted the threats made by the FCC chair: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

lazyweb: best podcasting host for a nonprofit?

JPMC + JE = a truly despicable failure of compliance, common sense, governance and values. (Jamie Dimon clearly lied under oath, which would seem to be a disqualification for a bank CEO?)

The relentless dishonesty is revealing. This was a meeting of the *academic advisory council* of the Chicago Fed. Think: Nerds around a conference table. No, academics don't set rates. No, the Chicago Fed doesn't set rates. No, the Chicago Fed President didn't even vote on rates that year.

Every Democrat has to answer for random social media posts by 17-year olds at Swarthmore so I would really like Republicans to be asked to answer for this post by one of their party leaders, the Vice President of the United States

happy birthday to meeeeee #jeopardy42 @jeopardy looking forward to a Douglas Adams category at least once a week this season

Such an odd thing to read in the newspaper www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/u...

Today I learned that Jessica "Paypal" Smith is buying Apple Gift Cards for me #scam

Speaker Johnson and VP Vance making noise about "how DARE you suggest prayer is inappropriate" no you pissant preening pious pricks, what is unconscionable is cutting money for solutions while hiding behind Scripture and simping for the gun lobby.

"If you intend to indulge the cliche and let the cat out of the bag, it must follow that at some point the cat is, perforce, contained IN the bag. In this essay I will…" #caturday

they say you aren't supposed to reply to #SMSspam but this is such a slow pitch down the middle of the plate

Oh yeah let me respond to this random number from the Philippines regarding my non-existent crypto account #SMSspam

Not just the worst President we've ever had; also quite possibly the dumbest mofo ever to wear a red tie.

I mean, are any of us really OK #SMSspam

The fact that the Jan 6 pardons (and subsequent purge of career prosecutors) don't have "law and order" Republicans calling for impeachment tells you all you need to know about their so-called values. Nauseating. Insidious. Vile. Un-American.

Texas is a majority-minority state, yet Republicans drew maps that make white votes carry 2-3 times more political power than Black or Hispanic votes. That’s what gerrymandering does: it cracks and packs communities of color so their growing numbers translate into less representation.

these fuckin lummoxes

Make Herr's Yours (Where Permitted By Local Corruption Laws)

Just was introduced to one of our most visible execs and said "remind me your name" because why not go out in a blaze of lolz

IT CAN BE HELPFUL TO KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT

With this, the Proud Boys clip, and the ICE-outside-Newsom’s presser incident, that’s at least three examples of a (presumed) federal police force — sometimes masked — showcasing apparent antagonism toward roughly half of the U.S. population, politically speaking. Seems like an unsettling trend.

A lot of mortality this season: in the past two weeks, lost a former colleague, current coworker, a longtime friend… and today an acquaintance (legendary musician & improviser) is at death's door. Live well. Tell your people you love them. Do the thing. Time is shorter than we realize.

thanks, I hate it

why is this song stuck in my head send help

this fuckery

Poker Face is a fantasy where the ability to recognize bullshit has an effect on society

see, I hadn't even considered getting a dot-quest domain before, but now that the price is going up I kind of want one (yes I checked "johnny.quest" is $845)

OK who has experience getting a stuck tape out of one of these frickin things

And now we have a new tenure metric: the Long Scaramucci

Dear Democrats: “Trump is ripping health insurance from 17 million people while spending hundreds of millions of your tax dollars on obscenely lavish renovations” is such an easy message that will piss off voters going into midterms. Please don’t screw it up.

C'mon now. "Is your current moment good for speaking?"

Absolutely peak "the cruelty is the point" here. Kash Patel shouldn't be in charge of the FBI.
