Pitchbot was cool but then they sold out.

Out on the road today, I heard a Cohen cover by an Eagles hack.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the people that have enough money to participate in the Winter Olympics sports are also the biggest contributors to climate change.

In fairness, expecting them to do it really quickly seems unreasonable

The Gen X urge to drink myself to sleep and pretend I don’t care that you’re not here with me.

As a blondish white native of Lubbock, I resemble this remark.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Not as pervasive as all the people and institutions who hold that killing someone by going 40 in a 25 is just an unfortunate accident!

I was just texting a friend that I'd be shitting bricks if I lived in Tehran right now. Terrifying.

Man he's gonna send six Guatemalans to Gabon over this.

(Mutes “maxx” and “mog.”)

i’m just trying to talk to enough press that Mackenzie Scott rolls into some MN rent funds with the checkbook, you know?

Temple Law grad!

Luckovich is never NOT brilliant.

It's not, but I do love it in the springtime.

"I sent three boats" but it's a vaccine and your children suffer the consequences.

I've goofed and sent some wrong texts to some wrong people in my life, but never *this* wrong.

i think it’s funny every american on here is looking at yoon’s lifetime prison sentence going what’s it like to live my dream meanwhile a lotta koreans are like im so confused why isn’t he dead

The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and A Muppet

Tired: "The task of selecting and ordering that news is one of the truly sacred and priestly offices in a democracy. For the newspaper is in all literalness the bible of democracy, the book out of which a people determines its conduct." - Walter Lippmann, in 1920. Wired:

I mean, one way to look at it is that the entire damn American Revolution was about rich white guys wanting to misbehave with impunity so today's news merely reminds us of that grand tradition.

TIL that the new Acela trains' window seats are uncomfortable for me because the windowsill juts into the space normally occupied by my upper arm. I'm a fairly large human specimen but nothing outrageous.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

The left has always leaned into new technology. Really anything that would improve the lives of the common people.

Not the point but there was SO much good, cheap Bordeaux on the market during that 2002-2003 peak. Alas.

All you need is a glance at this one photo —one out of thousands of horrifying photos— to know this regime as a whole, and ICE and DHS specifically, need to be burnt down to ashes.

I will take any opportunity to post this again

This new single from my friends in the band Choo Choo La Rouge *might* have a message that might be *implicitly* political, but it's a bit hard to tell. Throw 'em a buck and give it a listen.

lent and ramadan kicking off on the same day

As a person who has used various machine learning algorithms professionally for over a decade, and ostensibly resides on the political left, I feel like I should have more to say about the raging argument. But at the end of the day, a tool is a tool.

The east side of Providence is reasonably walkable, Cleveland Park in DC is eminently more so. You can figure out my travel schedule by looking at my Fitbit step count.

BREAKING — WE WON! DC Superior Court Judge Darlene Soltys ordered the DC Metropolitan Police to produce ALL body cam footage of the March 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace within 14 days. Thanks to my @rcfp.org lawyers for their tireless work. Details on thehandbasket.co later today!

Maybe listen to the people you love, bruv.

I realize not everyone gets to live to a ripe old age and die surrounded by loving family, but in a fucking cage because you tried to improve your family’s life and some bigots decided you didn’t matter? 😞

I was planning on drinking.

One of the best things folks in safe blue/coastal states can do is support GOTV efforts in Texas, and support values-aligned candidates at the local level. We have a pretty good slate coming up, and even the smallest wins really signal to exhausted folks here that change is possible.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

So many people on phones. I used to yell at them if they had their windows open, and always got "I was just inputting my route into the GPS app! I was just queuing up a song!" Just because it isn't "texting while driving" does not entitle you to the moral high ground.

5D chess: Hey let's screw over the most beloved TV entertainer of a generation a *second* time, to score some (looks at calendar, polls) short term political gains, but then make sure that 10 times as many people watch the offending clip on YouTube than ever would've seen the episode.

Everybody: this is cool. DC people: wow that mid-scene transition from the Kennedy Center to the Lincoln Memorial is really jarring.

BRO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?!

I don’t think this movie gets talked about enough. Brilliant, brilliant satire.

Total shad.

Spicy food people: what’s your go-to these days? I’m obsessed with crushed Calabrian chilies lately.

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.

President’s Day is a good reminder that the best thing we could do with the office is abolish it.

I'm old enough to remember when the very idea of political prisoners was unequivocally a bad thing.

Well, when Patrick and Aloysius McDonough… oh, wait, never mind.

My most populist opinion is that America would be a better place if we went a couple of decades banning anyone who went to Harvard or Yale from government jobs.
