My favorite comment on the FT story

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Really love that the sandwich guy was on video whipping a sandwich at a CBP officer and right away was like "damn right I did that shit, I hit that pig with a sandwich" and the Justice Department tried to bigfoot the case and couldn't even get him on a misdemeanor because fuck you

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: You see a skeleton jumping towards you kicking its heels and singing… Me: Oh no… 9yo DM: Yes! It is Tom Bonebadil. 🎵 Old Tom Bonebadil is a creepy fellow, Bright blue his aura is, and his bones are yellowed. 🎵

Fucking close down Schools of Management

but also if someone collapses by you, either get an AED or send someone else to go get it

Part of me wants to be like "maybe he went to go get an AED, that's a thing someone should definitely do when a person collapses" but you know what, no, keep on making fun of that MFer!

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

"it's a tool" yor mums a tool

the jury looked right at that prosecutor and said "croque, monsieur"

In my almost 20 years as a lawyer, as a leader, as a department head, as an executive...the people I have worked with who are the biggest gossips, who are the most emotional, and who are the most conflict-averse are men. And the women are the ones who end up cleaning up that mess as a result.

"Jurors found Sean Dunn not guilty of one misdemeanor assault charge on Thursday in federal court in D.C." I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/d...

More important to me than my identity, I am also the Vice President of the NewsGuild of New York, and targeting me with a blatantly retaliatory termination like this feels like an egregious shot against our union and against media workers as a whole.

Come on, asteroids, do better

I have made a regular practice of this: I greet people on the street and learn the names of the workers in stores I frequent, and tell people when their hair or their coat looks awesome, and chat with random neighbors in the elevator about the weather and our days. It fun AND good politics!

The right is producing content for what is essentially a reality TV show for a national fascist counter-reality that anyone who wants to believe can immerse themselves in and pretend is real (and use as “evidence” for decision-making) but it doesn’t replace actual reality that we can all still see

Hope.

Hahaha this is excellent

Oh my GOD

This person took this when they called the race

If nothing else, I feel like from now on we should have Ward 10 elect the mayor

stay tuned

roses are red big laughs are hearty

this is an obvious overcorrection that misleads the polling data and will lead to disaster in the Heartland. the results of tonight show that the Democrats should moderate: adopting two or at most three of the five pillars of Islam

CITY TO TRUMP: DROP DEAD

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

I am once again begging you to remember that "illegal" does NOT mean "impossible." Today someone called and told me they don't understand how this illegal thing was done to them by police because it's illegal, so how is it possible they did it anyway? Laws are PUNISHMENTS, not PREVENTIONS.

shout out chicago.

It's very clear who the ACTUAL actual goat is here

I thought we already had this plotline this season and it ended stupidly

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

Waiting so politely in line, too!

Reaching every voter across our city. Polls close at 8pm. Call five of your friends and make sure they vote! You can find your polling place: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov

It is my opinion that some goals in soccer should be given as two goals if they are exceptionally dope

Reminds me of a third hand story I heard long ago about someone remarking to Frey at a gathering that he reminded them of another Minnesota politician, he replied hopefully "Wellstone?," and they shot back "no, Norm Coleman"

if Frey loses I bet he’ll leave Minneapolis immediately, which is a great argument to vote him out honestly

Mamdani already moving the needle on sex offenders, you love to see it

very glad that Zohran is confirming the “progressives win through storytelling, not through arguments to data or fact” theory

what even is the point of a government if not to manage resources in a way that everyone under their care is safely sheltered, fed, and as healthy as possible

"Here's the stats that show most people who get SNAP are working" is a good way to refute their fake arguments but seeing it over and over is driving me bonkers-- look at how many people are working full time and still can't afford enough food, what a terrible fucking country

I was like "okay maybe that ableist asshole doesn't realize he is being" and pointed out that referring to autistic people as "locked inside themselves" was offensive and he utterly lost it and went on the most bizarre rant. Holy projection, batman! Thankfullly we are still allowed to block people

Good luck to everyone who is campaigning on their belief that a better world is possible! Jeers to all candidates promising orderly management of the decline!

Like, I have made this observation several times now, but it's absolutely a manifestation of the same thing so many people are angry about with the common AI practice of aggregating publicly-available data and content: it frames But I Really Wanna as a valid reason to override people's boundaries.

Oh, Dick Cheney died? Well-- *sees Bluesky mod around corner* What's really important is championing the open protocol.

They should make more jobs for people who want to stop the harms of technology instead of jobs for causing them

Chat, I'm not sure if a system that endlessly rewards being a cruel, dishonest, soulless hack and endlessly punishes doing something useful or good is a system that will survive, or a system that we want to survive.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, your decision today hinges on a very simple question that goes right to the soul of what America is all about: should a man be allowed, out of the goodness of his heart, to give a delicious sandwich to a member of our law enforcement community?
