Dragonfruit, but of the fruits you can usually find at a grocery store (when in season), I'll go with watermelon.

Tomorrow we're going to discover Punch the Monkey is antisemitic I guess.

seems like everyone’s having a very normal parasocial evening out

Really loved this piece from my friend Matt Lackey on confronting the deleterious effects of algos on attention, cooperation, and democracy. www.statesforum.org/democracy-af...

To be fair Brazil and South Korea cracked down on Yoon and Bolsonaro *precisely because* they have been dictatorships in living memory, and the UK monarchy let itself be investigated like this *because* other monarchies collapsed. Assuming your institutions are unimpregnable per se... not so smart

Here's a fun one: What's the *second*-best movie produced by Joel Silver (The Matrix obviously being first)? www.imdb.com/name/nm00054...

this is a good one. i think it's probably either Koufax sitting out g1 of the World Series for Yom Kippur and then winning World Series MVP or Mark Spitz winning seven golds in Munich, or Kerri Strug if you want a single Olympics moment, but Hughes is definitely in the conversation.

I was going to make my point socratically and or sarcastically and then I just got so tired.

It makes perfect sense that several Olympic athletes are knitters, speedcubers, etc. --there's a lot of downtime and you need a hobby you can work on on the go.

If liberals are going to go on offense and win it's going to have to be done at least a little on faith.

Unfortunately evidence is consistent Americans hating cruelty to immigrants when they see it and being fine with it and then it's off screen and things are allegedly orderly.

We are so back.

Cheap and abundant power, water, housing, quality schools, and streamlined regs on spinning up your biz or moving it here are the way forward for a Chicago MSA that is burdened with debt and has been losing pop.

as we continue to celebrate 40 years of Zelda i’d like to say that i sincerely love the existence of the official timeline. Nintendo got backed into a corner by forum nerds and said “oh you want a real timeline? here’s some shit that’s way more stupid than you expected”

1-1 game Barry Melrose appreciation note

We should do this with the NBA finals for real though.

To me the closest analogy to Claude Code/Cursor/Windsurf is the Bloomberg Terminal. Professional traders existed before the Bloomberg, and they exist after it appeared, but once it came out, you had to have one to do the job or you'd get left in the dust.

Many people are saying

Of the ten highest paid WRs, **two** (Metcalf and Brown) made the playoffs. A third is on a playoff team but did not play at all in 2025. Things look a little better 11-20 and 21-30. Premium WRs are just not worth the cap space. www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings...

I mean let's see how the next season goes, but is any team with a big WR1 contract happy?

They only did a headbanger. A Pamchecko is a headbanger followed by throwing the partner into the air for a flip.

So somebody at the figure skating gala did the Pamcheko?

If only

I thought about it, but I settled on trying to give up the act of "sharing things people said online that piss me off if the only reason I'm sharing it is because the thing they said pissed me off"

We're campaigning in poetry, you could just have the IRS issue $250 checks and call them "tariff refunds". Whether or not that's sound public policy is a different question, but I'm not sure we're getting 1986 tax reform any time soon.

write to your representatives to reject this amendment before Monday! (just your reps, the senate already passed it). this amendment would set back elevators from using unified international standards instead of complicated standards that only America uses app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary/...

Great, reality-based tweet by @petereharrell.bsky.social … confident claims that Sec 122 tariffs will be ruled against by the courts seem premature

the single greatest demonstration of AI in human history is the fuzzy logic rice cooker

This is no gift. It is a curse. Feliz 40 anos de Zelda

This goes for Haidt too even if I think they both sometimes have points.

This seems like a great dude to use as the single source in your article

This is definitely something I’d expect a drunk national guard major who fluncked out of the military to cook up.

yeah man I think the fact that the robot tells people exactly what they want to hear is a bigger problem bsky.app/profile/wolv...

This is a tweet about AI, right.

This is inspired by Kevin Durant but it’s not REALLY about Kevin Durant if you get what I mean

Every now & then I see people post things like “if I suddenly got rich, you’d never hear from me again, all my socials will be deleted,” etc. Are we forgetting everything we know about wealth, power & unaccountability? You would post constantly. Trivially. Self-destructively. Like rich people do!

Okay the old heads vs youngins vs world setup really worked out.

Canadian inequality fell, from a disposable income Gini of 0.32 in 2015 to 0.299 in 2022, the latest year for which the LIS has data. The Liberals are not a Thatcherite party. www.lisdatacenter.org/lis-ikf-weba... (Quoting because the poster disabled replies mid-argument.)

I don’t about the face of the NBA but Ant should definitely be the mouth of the NBA

Trying vibe coding on a "start from scratch" project for the first time ever and it is constantly missing the forest for the trees ... but at least it's doing so quickly and I can adjust?

Nothing is more American than cost-effective building materials.

This is what makes The Current Predicament very challenging, but on the other hand they should do fewer crimes.
