What the non-lawyers on here need to understand is that DOJ, until about a year ago, was considered HIGHLY prestigious and competitive, elite lawyering work

My college hot take? 1. Everyone needs a sandbox between high school and the adult world to get a lot of ridiculousness out of their system before the rest of us have to deal with it and that sandbox can look like a lot of things.

Genuinely, the mods should slap down bans left and right on this… whatever it is… because I think it is legitimately damaging the wellbeing of all parties involved.

I know I have said this before but you realize Stancil is functionally a MMO raid boss to people, you can’t unsee it. Good luck with the loot drops. They say the Black Sword of Angronath got buffed last patch.

Not a reporter but I get plenty of emails from enthusiastic and not totally sane strangers with theories of everything. If anything the rate has gone down since LLMs, maybe they're talking to Grok instead of emailing me.

data centers are light industrial with a somewhat unusual externality profile- worse in some ways, better in others- and it’s absurd that people are losing their minds about them

<suddenly thinking about the plotline in Speed Racer where a character becomes estranged from their family after taking on a new identity because the world wasn't letting them be the person they wanted to be> huh

Two pikachus, two elephants, two women with odd proportions, ant face, moth, dragonfly leaving an oil slick, negative space vibrator, couple of chameleons, candle flame, Paris

Like I don't want to dismiss how life can be hard in 2026, but the past just sucked at a level that almost everyone in this era would find shockingly intolerable

Generational tweet that might even spawn a school of architecture.

hawks will be like "you really believe in negotiating a joint comprehensive plan of action with Iran? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a war of regime change" and then not win a war of regime change

SCOTUS is telling us that there's no choice left but to pack the court. Congress can pass whatever laws they want to, but the Gang of Six will veto them if they think it'll help Republicans cling to power.

something sort of insane is that we have non-trivial evidence that posting is the top of all possible hierarchies of needs. some of the richest men in the world who could be on their mega-yachts choose to not only post, but orient their lives around posting related things

a ballroom has a core strategic weakness: the man in the back saying “everyone attack”

I am pro-democravy but that doesn't mean I support every voter. Some of you bitches are very dumb

The world's leading Out Here scholar has published another masterwork.

I think the disconnect between Atlantic elites is that Americans think Donald Trump is a kid getting to drive a monster truck for Make A Wish and Europeans and Canadians think Donald Trump is the president of the United States.

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

so, uh, one of the bluest city council districts in Manhattan might elect a NIMBY MAGA Trojan horse candidate who rallied with republicans against affordable housing ballot measures if you live on the west side please go vote and rank Carl Wilson AND @lindseyboylan.bsky.social to stop her!

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Don't think folks have really appreciated yet that there is a lot of ordered O&G that will, over the course of the next few weeks and months, simply not arrive. Not even "is expensive". But *will not arrive*

People are making fun of this but I think it's actually extremely important whether a human can outrun a robot

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized

Do you know how many civilian cars the U.S. produced between Feb 1942 and August 1945? 139. Not 139 thousand. 139.

Aside from the immorality of the mission, the logistics here are a disgrace to the memory of the USS We Built This Yesterday

"Why is everyone mad? Moderate price increases, or the mass death event that popular culture has largely tried to sweep under the rug and no one wants to talk about?"

The startup I work with, Quantum Elements, is hiring quantum scientist, AI engineer, and go-to-market lead roles. Apply here! quantumelements.ai/careers

any half-decent dungeons and dragons player could parlay the ability to teleport, but only to a waffle house, into being a billionaire in under a year.

Unironically my ideology (apart from a very pedantic philosophy of science point).

This moment demands a reset. J Street is calling for the U.S. to end unconditional financial military subsidies to Israel and to move towards a relationship where we treat Israel like any other ally. 🧵 1/6

I like this photo because it implies that Glover wears the spacesuit around like a sweatshirt. Walking the dog in his spacesuit. Going to the dentist in his spacesuit. Blowing leaves out of the driveway in the spacesuit. Neighbors are like, yeah, Vic, we know.

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

I managed to tell @astrokatie.com something she did not already know, which is that the Integrity crew did not get to go straight to bed but instead had to do a lil obstacle course to see how freshly landed astronauts would escape the capsule, in, like, woods and she was like WHO APPROVED THIS. WHY

We need to just ignore it. It's facially obvious that a pres can't, for instance, order secret service to kill all his opponents in Congress and pardon them of the federal crime they commit by obeying. I don't care if there's no nice constitutional language for it. It's all Calvinball now anyway

the cucumber is like a C-tier pickled vegetable. open your eyes

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

Cilantro should be listed with allergens

My "not associated with notorious child sex trafficker" press conference is raising a lot of questions answered by my press conference.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

I've been reading up on MAXXXING culture and it seems to me it's largely aimed at men. I've discovered there is a whole untapped maxxxmarket out there: women. Facemaxxxing: you can apply stuff to your face to maxxx it's appearance. Heightmaxxing: attach things to your shoes to gain height.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

The People We Want to Yell at Aren't Listening So Instead We're All Yelling at Each Other: the Bluesky Story

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

One day he'll be gone, and we'll have made some progress fixing the damage. And it will be the mental health equivalent of coming down to sea level after high-altitude training

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.
