same deal with law right now. there are lots of tools that *would* be super helpful if they were reliable, but given the acceptable error rate is zero and so you have to check all their outputs anyway, you may as well just do it the old fashioned way.

the replies to this post are deranged. i too am frustrated by the demise of ad-supported media and unbundling of publication such that you need to pay every writer you like directly, but i never realized how many people think promoting paywalled content is somehow unethical?

just noticed samberg is wearing a john muir elementary shirt in this, a detail that meant nothing to me 20 years ago!

i remember thinking “Virgin” was an honorific of some kind and asking my mother why mary got be the Virgin but joseph didn’t get anything special, and then she had to explain to me what a virgin was

it's a small part of his legacy but the albert brooks documentary rob reiner made a couple years was just the sweetest thing, felt like he just wanted to tell his bro how much he loved him via a movie

opening night screening of ‘snakes on a plane,’ a marathon screening of the first three ‘final destination’ movies at the village east, and the related (1) world premier of ‘sorry to bother you’ at grand lake and (2) sitting next to boots riley at a screening of ‘marcel the shell with shoes on’

big wreck have been bottom-lining rock festivals since at least 1998, a fascinating career

checking out this "caroline" album dominating the year end lists and it sounds like a lot of stuff I liked in 2008 but unlike most of that stuff I think it's probably actually good

while i am glad people are ditching spotify and glad many are considering qobuz (a platform i’ve used for years and which seems to be run by people who actually like music) the reason it has the highest per-stream rate is because it is expensive and has relatively few users (and thus streams). sorry

let's go baby, maine uber alles

dean my man, I voted for you but you need to chill homie

(1) write "because jesus" as the answer to all your college exams: (2) get an F; (3) call your local TPUSA chapter; (4) lifetime sinecure

declaring the holiday season officially open

i was out of work for a year and before that worked at a place where everyone tried to work as little as possible, but at some point everyone just agreed that thanksgiving wednesday is a full holiday and tuesday is the half day now, huh?

setting aside the unhinged racism, deporting every undocumented immigrant would actually make most of these things *more* expensive

if you’re coming by car: welcome! we have convenient parking right at the museum and various pricing promotions to incentivize you to do so! we love you! if you’re coming by bike: if you’re dumb enough to try it don’t yell at us when your shit gets stolen

finally watched this video and expected it to be 'music of the night' or 'all I ask of you' or something but no they're full on rocking out to the title track

it was good enough for al qaeda, it's good enough for you

ran to the quotes to make sure people are making 'we didn't start the fire' jokes. good job everyone.

i love that the account elon is posting at incessantly is one of those accounts that’s like “sharing moments to spread the art of glorious cinema” and every post is prompt bait or “do you know who ridley scott is”

i was on a brooklyn grand jury for a month once, and there were a couple cases they brought us where we went "yeah there was probably technically a crime committed here, but this is so stupid i can't believe they're wasting our time with this and we're not going to dignify this with an indictment."

need someone to find de blasio and tell me how drunk he is right now

lol zohran is great and ran a brilliant campaign but the degree to which every other person in new york city politics was willing to throw it all away to make sure cuomo ended up in the dirt is delightful

now that I'm back to work and buying lunches again, I think an underrated factor in food seeming crazy expensive is credit card POS machines everywhere means both obligatory tipping has proliferated AND customers pay sales tax now

you gotta love the off-cycle election tradition of "heavily overindexing the national implications of low turnout local elections"

outrageous that these kids haven't seen 'vanya on 42nd st' what are they teaching in the schools

dave roberts you absolute maniac

why does he hate plants. this, the rose garden paved over, melania's bizarre fake tree holiday decorations. does he have allergies or something

I get it but having watched nearly every terry rozier game for like 5 years I can assure you this is Just How He Is

it’s never good when maine politics escape containment

good thing this can't pass a smog test and has to be sold outside california or I'd be extremely tempted to make a stupid decision

thank you fitness app but I spent 6 hours in transit with a 1 year old today, gonna need more than calming music

people are always doing “what’s the best cover song” prompts but nobody ever asks about the worst covers, but after 4 hours of listening to siriusxm station ‘the bridge’ in the car the other day my answer is: the eagles’ cover of ‘ol’ 55’

real season 3 paulie walnuts energy with this one

the existence of shohei ohtani is so statistically unlikely, it's like we're sharing the planet with a demigod

oh my god no

ferdinand and isabella were like “ok bring back gold and riches and convert the natives to christianity if you want, but *no slaves*” and he just couldn’t help himself and took a bunch of slaves

today for lunch I fed my 11 month old pan-seared rockfish in a brown butter caper sauce and farmers market heirloom early girl tomato slices while I ate torn off hunks of a baguette dipped in a tub of cream cheese #parenting

the person who did the bad bari weiss post is also a hardhitting muckraking journalist who is not afraid to take on a mob, trust me

RIP gator, a reliable bright spot on the consistently disappointing red sox teams of my childhood www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

I don't know if david ortiz actually feels any residual kinship or loyalty to the city but he will hate the yankees till the day he dies and that's enough for me to put him in tier 1 of the boston sports pantheon

think i got one of these out of a plastic egg in a claw machine in hampton beach in 1996

love how these guys are completely indistinguishable from the ones who yelled gay slurs at me in the right field bleachers in 2004
