A half century later and the party is still wobbling around all shell shocked from the McGovern loss

On his first day in office, the Mayor of New York toured the crumbling apartment of one of his constituents. On his 348th day in office, the President of the United States shops for marble and onyx for a ballroom nobody wants.

It’s dangerous out there! Take this! #happynewyear #lemonpig

Semisonic called. They said that you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

My position on taking action. And on the important space between everything and nothing.

(a big reason that Tesla "full self drive" is so much worse than Waymo is that they just use cameras not LIDAR because cameras are way cheaper, but it's the LIDAR that makes Waymo a public health breakthrough, and also means the unit economics on the cars are negative as hell)

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

This is your reminder to stop doomscrolling and go to sleep.

I would wipe Rise of Skywalker from continuity and make tony gilroy write the new end to the sequel trilogy. It can be as bleak as he wants it to be bsky.app/profile/benj...

Amazing to learn that Isaac Chotiner can apparently just come for you in your replies. Like suddenly realizing you're swimming in open ocean

Stochastic terrorist POTUS sharpens aim:

The experience of going on Facebook these days is equivalent of having a stroke

This is why a good SEO strategy is so important for your business

Most middle managers aren’t yet equipped to recognize the hidden or long-term costs of relying on AI, including integration overhead, quality-control gaps, and the erosion of early-career talent pipelines.

one genuine issue is that like, there's a sort of generalized cynicism that gets turned into "look everybody sucks so i'm going to support the demon at home"

“My ‘the former president did not receive a blowjob from the current president‘ t-shirt is getting a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.”

Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

I cannot describe how incoherently angry I get when a company screws up terribly and there is only a chatbot to work with. If I can't speak to a human, you should have your corporate charter revoked.

Automated calipers are, of course, big tech's end game.

When your friend decides to propose at your birthday party and steals all the attention.

The way people tried to hang the very normal number of train derailments in the Buttigieg is how we need to stick plane crashes to Duffy. The U.S. had gotten very good at making sure large, scheduled flights did not crash and now they are crashing

When you’re not mad

I was still at it in 2014.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Happy Halloween

I think we should defeat the Venezuelan terrorists of the next decades by not creating them now.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and shiver for they were so sweet and so cold

Highly recommend: throwing any and all creatives a DM/comment/email to let them know how their work touched you, whether now or in the past. I never expect a reply. But doing this regularly not only helps others see their art is valued, but improves your own confidence & connection.

Zohran caught in LIES: Mamdani claims to have "loved Final Fantasy III" when he was growing up. yet research indicates that the game he played was in fact the SIXTH Final Fantasy game

31, huh.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Easy to get lost in how goofy it is but “Soros funded protests” is literally an antisemitic conspiracy theory and it’s wild that it’s even kind of socially acceptable to promote

I am reel Amrecan from Tennessee oblast, you should not go No King rally, very dangerous, they will get you photo and put black bag on babushka.

Across the U.S., parole boards are releasing fewer people than in 2019. Does this look like a system that values bettering people and giving them a second chance?

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

I'll forever remember the worst listed ingredient I've ever seen, which was on a can of Vienna sausages: partially defatted beef fatty tissue. Anyway, this description of The Free Press seems apt.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

isn't the whole point of copyright that you are opting out of people stealing your work

In honor of Eric Adams dropping out, I'm now resharing my all-time favorite bit of Eric Adams content for years, this thing was like my video from The Ring, where I had to get other people to watch it in order for me to stay alive enjoy www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk2W...

Trump at peak cognitive function couldn't embed a video. This is his own staff and minders propagating one of the cruelest fantasies ever concocted by the right. They know it's fake, they know it makes sick people skip chemo and surgery with belief immortality is around the corner. They don't care.

Telling a bunch of foreign leaders you might kidnap and disappear their citizens AT THE U FUCKING N is wild

Mangrove forests are a tremendous store of carbon, or quick cash if logged. In Indonesia, protecting forests for now and the future is undertaken by indigenous patrols, outpaced by those they seek to stop. The latest feature at @cipolicy.bsky.social internationalpolicy.org/publications...
