It's very funny to declare USPS's losses as some sort of failure when for the last decade of weird tech start ups, the public has basically been trained to shrug off massive cash burns as "good, actually"

I hope this email never finds you. I hope a single shaft of light pierces the broken ceiling, giving life to saplings and ferns. I hope the old computer went dark years ago, and the office smells of moss and wild spores. I hope that you are free.

A heroin addict who writes bad porn poetry says eliminating the Hepatitis B vaccine will make kids healthier. Medical experts say it will kill thousands of innocent children. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to believe.

True, all times are equally bad to quit caffeine. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/d...

I buy the Cabaret theory of modern politics: current right wing politics was, once upon a time, a thing elites sold to rubes while merely pretending to believe themselves while they pursued wealth, but now the True Believers are actually in charge and acting on sincerely believed insane nonsense.

Relatable.

Step on a crack, the boys in town are back

I am a woman who joined the Let’s Rethink Chicks Having The Right To Vote Party and I am concerned they do not take me completely seriously, somebody please help me

Elon Musk bought Twitter and converted it into a worldwide clearinghouse for unadulterated, out-and-open Nazism. It’s a global crisis, and yet US media and politicians still won’t even acknowledge Musk’s own publicly stated views, much less the poisonous role of his site.

stepped outside to rip bong while folding laundry and when i got back inside, someone had moved one of the piles so she could lay on it

A squirrel eating snow and sticking out its tongue. Slow-motion video.

ABSOLUTELY NOT This is a trash song with trash lyrics and trash production that is the absolute worst thing ever to escape Bernie Taupin's head, it sounds like cocaine heavily cut with baby powder and expired laxative feels, if 80s pop music were the Hapsburgs, this song is Charles II of Spain.

The more nakedly partisan the court majority acts, the more I think they'll strike down the tariffs because I think it would be a net benefit to Republican electoral prospects.

No one could’ve predicted that putting a lot of Opus Dei weirdos on the Supreme Court would end our democracy

This is basically my job as an American born genAI human reinforcer like these sorts of workers are EXACTLY WHO WE NEED MORE OF IN TECH IN AMERICA NOT FEWER THE FUCK

If journalism style were up to me, first references to all judges would include the name and party of the president who nominated them. For example-- Justice Clarence Thomas (R-GHW Bush)

people will say anything on here “a corn dog is a poor substitute for love” no it isn’t that’s not true

I think the median voter believes in Natural Prices, and these are about how much things costed at the most recent point in their mind where they felt relatively financially stable. They expect politicians and businesses to honour this and take steps to ensure things cost their Natural Price.

Trump does exactly what he sued CBS for doing before. As always, the hypocrisy is the point. He wants us to see. The rules aren't in charge, I'm in charge.

American fascism is hilarious; it’s politics as aesthetics, but the aesthetics are ass.

There is a fifth wave of ska, beyond that which is known to rude boys

The philosophers were so preoccupied with whether they should that they didn't stop to think if they could.

This one has always stuck with me, from November 2012. Truly cursed with the gift of prophecy

Playing the "if this were a Democrat" game is tired I know but my God if this were a Democrat it would be the only story we'd hear until 2042. www.thedailybeast.com/don-jrs-fund...

Historian here it’s Hannah Arendt’s death anniversary and she was of course prescient.

Unless proven otherwise, every Republican in Congress supports this image:

Oh, hey didn’t see you there…

saw someone refer to this as a “dog whistle.” my friends i’m sorry but we’re way past that. this is just a whistle

WHO'S HUNGRY NOW, BITCH?

honestly shocked at the lack of wagon-circling around hegseth, though considering trump staffs his cabinet exclusively with rats duct-taped to kitchen knives I suppose it was inevitable they’d lunge at the first whiff of blood

My decades in the embedded systems biz taught me one thing: there are no magic chips. Chips are a commodity, like bauxite or soybeans. Thin margins, generic, prices dive over time. Now suddenly Nvidia is worth $4T? Because they have a magic chip?

I think my cat is broken

Learned today that around 1990, Mercedes-Benz briefly offered a "mobile office" package for the W126 S-Class that included a fully functioning printer, scanner, and fax machine built into an armrest.
