Robert Putnam was right and it’s time to bring back bowling leagues.

Not just for radicalization, but as an adult caretaker, the elderly I looked after who actually had hobbies like gardening, fiction, exercising, or board games were just much more cognizant than those who spent their younger days only watching the news or looking at FB, now just doing that 24/7.

There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

I mocked this earlier, but after hearing from @alanzilberman.bsky.social I gave it a chance, & it's funny, philosophical + insightful Nice work @taffyakner.bsky.social

Trey Gowdy still looks to me like he should be menacing William Shatner from the wing of a plane

Before (2020) / After (2026) Rue Henri Dubouillon in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. Trees have grown a bit since the change from a parking street to a pedestrianized garden street in 2023.

Meiselas: Katie Miller has been posting about you. I want to give you the opportunity right now to respond. What do you want to say to her? Paulina Mangubat, Content and Creative Director for @TheDemocrats: I want Katie Miller to know that her husband is an ugly fuck.

I do think a lot of the fix here is for one (1) very rich person to go to normal prison

man FUCK the police

The pope understands AI better than many in Silicon Valley seem to (the latter having a financial incentive to pretend it is something other than what it is)

Happy Memorial Day!

our government is run by a buncha high school bullies. and almost half of voters picked this: they said this is what they were going to do

lol

ST. LOUIS—Apologizing to all customers who had received a defective product, pet food giant Fancy Feast issued a massive recall Friday for 1 million cans of food that cats just kind of stared at before wandering away.

This is like when the villain monologues. Please keep talking Jeff.

Aged like fine, unpasteurized milk. p.s. there is no such thing as “anti-vax beliefs aside”.

I'm begging for one article--just one--that is "Trump says Iran war is worth the economic pain. These urban voters in Harlem say `We told you he'd screw everything up, why didn't you listen to us?'" Just one. Just one "diner" interview in a place w a density above 1 per 1000 sq mi and < 95% white.

There is a “vengeance” lane in the 2028 democratic primary.

When Trump won I didn't necessarily imagine this headline *specifically* but I did imagine that the headlines would look something like this

Renee Good and Alex Pretti should be alive today. Because of ICE, they’re not. That’s the reason why.

As someone who read these multiple times in my teens, I knew in June 2015 that we were in trouble.

Well, I think Elon and Trump have been on the same flight logs before

virgnia foxx is one of those low key members who has been abjectly horrible her entire time in office. a total degenerate.

today is one of those days i regret learning to read

If AOC is on one side & Cenk & Ryan Grim & Marge are on the other side it shouldn’t be difficult to figure out who’s speaking the truth & who’s a fucking Russian stooge asshole.

If we play our cards right, soon we’ll be able to send handguns through the postal service but not birth control or ballots

You know, the Internet is a cesspool and social media is destroying our society’s fabric but to see meme jokes about Bazelgette? Worth it.

Ukraine’s President decree: “Allow a parade to be held on May 9, 2026 in the city of Moscow”

Parties are built from the ground up, but the fantasy that a presidential bid will somehow be transformative lives on.

if ai ever works as it’s been sold to us, the most easily replaced employee of every company would be ceo and as far as i can tell theres never been a single article written about that

What if HDDVD won the format wars

I see that big-name "skeptics" continue to be an embarrassment

Doing this at The Villages in Florida elevates it to high art

The purpose of "good government" policies is to promote democracy. Now, when the Reconstruction Amendments are being perverted by a GOP packed Supreme Court to give license to racism in legislative districting, the good government move is for Democrats to counter-gerrymander, aggressively, and fast

1) Longitude, by Dava Sobel 2) Endurance, by Alfred Lansing 3) Dreadnaught, by Robert K Massie 4) Pursuit, by Ludovic Kennedy 5) Troublesome Young Men, by Lynne Olson

An “era of extreme gerrymandering” just began out of nowhere.

Holy shit these people are idiots

Editor: you get that piece ready on the creepy Washington Hilton? Reporter: Yeah got an interview with the last assassin there, just like you asked. Editor: what

Hungary, which was much further down the death spiral than we are, just did so...yes?

UPDATE: LMAOOOOOOOO

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

If I were a Republican I might take better care, given apparent political trends, about the useful precedents they seem ready and eager to set.
