68% of MLB fans want a salary cap system🤦 All these people who want a salary cap are going to be so confused when it solves not a single thing.

The story in this thread is absolutely heartbreaking.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command. The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

lol even though they banned them the government used Claude anyway. Slop strategies for the Epic Bacon War. This could not have gone worse for Altman www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

This silly post pushed onto my timeline helped me discover that I had some accounts I needed to unfollow.

I wonder if a hard-line successor will assume power and further destabilize the region just like every other time this has happened

It was obviously a self-defensive pre-emptive indiscriminate targeted first strike response against military children and civilian terrorists

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Incredible story by Moe Tkacik based on new Epstein documents that link him on multiple fronts to the agonizing death of the New York Daily News, the tabloid that would perhaps be most equipped in its day to chronicle the Epstein depravity. 🧵 prospect.org/2026/02/26/n...

Just so we're all using the same terminology: A Sinema is changing your views on a dime for personal gain. A Fetterman is revealing semi-hidden conservative views while representing a purple state. A Manchin is the same as a Fetterman, but from a red state. IMHO, Platner will pull a Sinema ASAP.

More social networks need that feature Discord and Mastodon have, where you can add a simple (private) note to any account. Who’s this guy with a new pfp and name? Oh, the note says “Remember, this is Joe.” Why did I block this one asshole again? Oh, right, I typed that in the note.

Pack the court with so many people that you won't even know their names. That it won't even be news when one of them dies. That they have to meet in an NFL stadium. That their relatives won't realize they're related to a Supreme Court justice. That they quit because they don't feel important.

Me explaining why I’ve been a Mariners fan for most of my life

I think this is probably true but as a comic/regular person and not a strategist, I believe my role in this fight is to call people who use AI losers

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

Whatever happened to Transcendent Innovations (trainn.org) which ran dozens of tech referral sites. I got so much free tech from them in the mid-2000s & then they vanished in like 2015. But a ton of the sites are still up, so somebody is still paying the hosting bill! Are people still signing up?

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Competing headlines

Ben Williamson, Jurrangelo Cijntje, and Tai Peete for two years of Brendan Donovan (with Cole Young already on the team!) is a massive overpay and reminiscent of the terrible trades Seattle made from 1996-2016, which Dipoto has done a great job of avoiding so far in his tenure. What a stupid trade.

CHOTINER: And the pizza place, what’s it called? ME: Dominos. CHOTINER: Right. And you can order from your laptop? ME: Yeah. Well, I can also use my phone. Sometimes that’s quicker. CHOTINER: And all the food in your fridge and pantry. When do you eat that? ME: Now hang on a second,

dudes rock

I swapped phones recently. Same number, same service, same phone manufacturer. Just a new model. I now get a minimum of 20 spam calls and 10 spam texts a day.

Oh now they have the right-wing antivaxxer Whitney Cummings on there. Stewart really cooked his boomer brain while retired, didn't he? bsky.app/profile/late...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

TIL there are signers of the Harper's Letter who still defend its nonsense in the year of our Jod 2026

Some immigrant parents, fearful of their children facing similar uncertainty if they were to be arrested, detained or deported are taking the extreme step of legally transferring parental authority to teachers, co-workers, fellow parishioners and neighbors.

If you are: -a leftist -who does not like the DNC -and lives in a red district -that is rural or suburban I encourage you to check out your local Dems and maybe get involved. Red districts are often ignored by national Dems; you may have more influence to push left locally than you think.

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

This is something I hadn't really considered, but it makes a lot of sense to me.

Wow Stroud really sucks

I think a lot of you either are forgetting or choosing to not remember how cyclical baseball is. In the late '90s, everyone was convinced that the Yankees had broken baseball. A decade later, the A's and Rays had people screaming about how signing big-name free agents ruined your chance of winning.

Is there an EMF machine on the 49ers sideline?

NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.” Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

If you ever want to give yourself alcohol poisoning, play a drinking game where you take a shot every time Emma is interrupted on The Majority Report.

i taught a course on "hope" in Fall 2024 and after some theory (not a ton of it out there!), the readings were almost all Black Americans who saw the obstacles arrayed against the cause of racial justice, knew it was possible (likely!) they'd fail, and yet continued

Tired: hating the Dodgers because they spend a lot more money than your team does Wired: hating the Dodgers because their ownernership has financial ties to ICE detention centers sdvoice.info/l-a-dodgers-...

Well...at least their bench kinda sucks?

me again

*taps sign*

Holy hell, what an obituary

i don't really give a shit if consultants think being anti-ICE is "good messaging" or whatever when people are actively being shot, beat, gassed and jailed.
