tonight's bike back from the hardware store is sketchy because I forgot to pack my bungee cords before going to the bar

the funny thing to me is I was obsessed with the original Star Wars movies and actually enjoyed The Phantom Menace at first (saw it twice in the theatre!) before realizing that the prequels were an atrocity committed against filmmaking (I never saw episodes two or three)

Google Gemini is also down so I wonder if it's a wider outage

that's quite a trend away from cash. feels like it may have hit bottom?

People tell me all the time that Waymo is bad because Google is unaccountable. In other news, humans are so accountable that this woman who killed a whole family will (checks notes) be getting her driver’s license back in her mid-80s after (checks notes) transferring all her assets.

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

just sitting here waiting for summer

#$CVNA down 20% after hours

hilarious day in the markets. you're going up? no you're not

I'd be more in favor of indefinitely postponing Colorado redistricting commissions for US House until gerrymandering is ended nationwide

The February update of the Atlanta Fed's business inflation expectations index fell to 1.9% from 2.0% in January. The 1.9% figure measures the median of firms' year-ahead unit cost expectations. It peaked at 3.8% four years ago. They averaged 2.0% from 2019-17. www.atlantafed.org/research-and...

They moved from Cali to Denver, to avoid the libs, and now Denver to Miami, to avoid the libs… What happens next?

I can't stand these fucking fascists.

The long-awaited pattern shift is finally bringing widespread snow to mountains of Western U.S. today, including blizzard/near-blizzard conditions over some key passes (including Donner Summit in CA's Sierra Nevada). Heavy showers & some t-storms closer to coast as well! #CAwx

it's February 17th

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

I think as a society we should understand how horrific car crashes, deaths, and injuries are

Had missed this Dallas Fed look at shifts in unauthorized employment. It suggests that the current breakeven rate for jobs growth is *negative* 10k. IOW today 40k monthly jobs is equivalent (roughly) to a 150k+ print in the late 2010s.

c'mon we really have to retire Susan Collins in November

Kalshi but put a "legit" face on it with the SEC

stock market charts and analysis!

S&P 500 today not for the faint of heart

got to make the billions invested in Apple Vision Pro worth something I guess

The Onion, man. just nailed it

Jesse Jackson Jr. also had an under appreciated sense of comedic timing. Watch his fake sermon on SNL.😂

Republicans trying to control the media is both incredibly dangerous and (hopefully) unlikely to work

Recent CBS News news: 1. Anderson Cooper leaves 60 Minutes after two decades 2. Stephen Colbert reveals network won’t let him air interview with Dem 3. Producer says politics dictating what airs 4. Owner’s bid for CNN parent back on the table. 5. Not firing Epstein pal.

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

There’s no President Barack Obama without Jesse Jackson. It just doesn’t happen.

This is the last thing you have to do before you finish your degree in physics.

uh oh

Meta may be the most unethical company on the planet

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...

🚨🚨🚨 I want to abolish ICE. Period. @rajaforil.bsky.social thanked ICE, funded ICE, and took money from an ICE contractor.

Linda Davis was killed by ICE today. A Black woman, a beloved teacher, killed by ICE in Savannah, Georgia. Her name is Linda Davis and she was killed by our government.

like a window into my childhood

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

found this old book in our throw-away pile it's really fucking funny in 2026

It’s funny because it’s mostly true. I’ve seen so many NYers just toss their trash on the street, even when garbage cans are nearby. 🤣😞

WSJ: “.. The pricing break is over. .. Companies .. are raising prices early this year on items from bluejeans and spices to housewares and industrial products.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/pri...

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

I've never seen this before. powerful

the Black Panthers were right

😍😍😍🥰 so cool.

When @ericmbudd.com and I bought this house two months ago we decided to contract some great folks to turn this underutilized space into a home library. Today it’s finally done, and we couldn’t love it more! #boulder #homerenovations #books #study #colorado #denver

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

at least he's not saying that ICE needs to remove their masks to help affordability for the American people
