Commitment and belief. That was it.

Ilhan Omar retweeted me once. Bless her, but what a goddamn nightmare.

Carson Beck has a career in the movies as top henchman, if he wants it.

God willing the Hoosiers just closed the portal to hell that the Chicago Cubs opened in 2016.

Fernando Mendoza is the rare football player with theater kid energy.

All hail our cornball overlord, a truly legendary dorkus

Congratulations to Pluribus Other Fernando Mendoza.

Look. I don’t pay attention to the Colts or football, but the offensive coordinator is what now?

Both sides are mad about the nuke headed our way, so it must be doing something right.

Not that Liquid Glass is great or anything, but there’s also bullshit out there like this - someone screenshotting their widget/swipe left screen, setting it as their wallpaper and then screenshotting the lock screen on top of it and saying “hurr durr this is terrible”. Just reproduced this myself.

It's very similar to the phenomenon in small towns by which a dollar general opening can drive a grocery store out of business by pushing its number of customers below the threshold of viability. Then 4 more DGs open even though 85% of the consumers preferred the grocery store.

Eartha Kitt in Istanbul, 1949.

Just watched Matewan last week. There’s a series of quiet but tense scenes after James Earl Jones has been tasked with killing an accused man he admires, and he’s so good in them. You know he’ll do it, but you can see how desperate he is for a reason not to.

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

I didn’t say Dreadstone was a good thing, you fucktacular assclown, I said Dreadstone presented an OPPORTUNITY for Democrats to pick up a few more rust belt seats among Obama-Trump voters IF the candidates STAY ON MESSAGE

New Polling Finds Americans Split On Dreadstone

I know OP doesn’t want to hear this, but unless her HOA had some sort of “asteroid provision” they are likely within their rights to start eviction proceedings

Last night, producers of the reality show announced in a statement that they had made the “humane” decision to not inform sequestered castmates ahead of Dreadstone’s arrival

Thank you for contacting me. I will be out of the office forever due to planetary annihilation. To tell you the truth, I never actually cared about scaling b2b applications for the enterprise

This is like one of those AI videos where they try to get a person to eat spaghetti naturally

Casting Bill Skarsgard as the guy in green is wonderfully old-school, anti movie reddit casting

Someone make this an ad and run it during the Superbowl

The Host (Bong Joon Ho, 2006)

"OBAA had me on the edge of my seat for two hours" "Ok, but what was the POINT?"

Holy hell, what an obituary

I see a lot of folks hand-wringing about this. It's simple: *all* of these companies have already used all of Wikipedia in their AI models. The question is whether they pay Wikipedia for this use, or whether they can continue to exploit the community entirely for free. bsky.app/profile/sara...

We do all agree that if voting results somehow aren't acknowledged, that's go time right? I'm far from itching for confrontation, and people need to be really careful about what roads they decide to go down but as principles go I'm set on this one. I don't expect to be very effective, but come on.

These programs help to offset what I’ve previously described as a vampiric relationship between AI companies and the commons: www.citationneeded.news/free-and-ope...

With “Wikimedia Enterprise”, AI companies have to use (and pay for) dedicated APIs to scrape data, which helps to limit the strain on Wikimedia servers. (See eg arstechnica.com/information-...) This is a good thing for Wikimedia and for its readers.

This is a good thread on midterm threats, but also what I think keeps getting missed is what Republicans in cushy seats would get out of the utter chaos this creates. If elections are nullified/cancelled, what we've seen from people in response to ICE is nothing and it's a bad time for everyone.

Of all the things to dig in on, data centers in urban areas might be the weirdest.

IndySky, we in for Hunley if she runs? Mears maybe? But I really have no sense of the guy apart from old twitter reply guys hating his guts.

wtf is up with this place today?

“does the fiction film have coherent radical politics?” is a question that sounds like “can you take me to the potty? i can’t go by myself!”

I love the compliment "it's most coherent episode yet"

my friend who works at guitar center in houston who doesn't watch baseball just sold yordan alvarez a guitar? and she didn't know who he was?

What's the widely publicized event that generated support for mass deportations? The whole premise of that argument was those events weren't being publicized. Stacking up Laken Riley's murder and a few others, and combining that with job loss, housing, and crime in general is messaging.

Was looking up when people were mad at Marie Kondo and that was 2019, and now I wonder where everyone found the capacity

Hey @dbacks.com, @cardinals.com, what's going on?

Nolan Arenado is an Arizona Diamondback, and one of the most originally electric and ultimately disappointing chapters in Cardinals history has come to a drawn-out, thudding close: www.bnd.com/sports/mlb/s...

"There is a path, if Democrats want to take it" and it's represented by a few members of Congress. Ok, one lost their seat, and another is quitting amid a strong primary threat. But trust me on this.

In retrospect it’s funny that I found Season 1 of the Handmaid’s Tale unrealistic because guys would never just give up sports. 8 years later there’s weirdos like that all over Twitter.

If it helps anyone, I fell this same way a few years back falling on the same spot on his back this guy did (in the full video) and let me tell you it hurts immensely.

Sharing this as people leave the other site again go.bsky.app/CsvD994

This is the dream. Unified workers, and Chris Cooper in a lead role. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ boxd.it/1xXQ

The people on the streets of Minneapolis are mad, but on the other hand some online randos are cool with it.

Haha. Holy hell.

The gasp-laugh I made at this is something I couldn’t reproduce if I tried

Losing this guy and Isiah Whitlock in the same week?
