Side note: jeff bezos could personally fund this war for 239 days. Billionaires shouldn’t exist

Yep. Ford represented a very specific kind of Being Cool By Being A Dipshit that used to be right at the heart of American pop-culture depictions of masculinity. Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart both excelled at it.

My pop’s dad worked on the Manhattan project at University of Chicago then bought & ran a small printing company as the family business until the day he died. My Papa was a WW2 vet turned lawyer & federal judge, a son of Cajuns who still spoke French & didn’t attend high school.

FRENCH FRIES 🍟

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

“It’s that time you were waiting for: Darby & Indy walkies! Join us in the sunny paradise of Seattle (earlier this week lol)!” 🧵

seems bad

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%. boltsmag.org/north-caroli...

Uh

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.

well Boston has never taken a stand over government regulation of caffeinated beverages before, so I imagine this will go down easy

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Our human, she is typically the epitome of grace. Today, however, she fell into the creek trying to take our photo.

A little confused by "instead" here. The saying isn't "fuck around, instead find out"

David Attenborough [whispering]: “As the predators close in on their helpless prey, we can only watch in silent horror, for it is not man’s role to interfere in the hierarchy of nature.”

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

literally DOZENS of jobs!

I know it seems like these dogs lead a life of luxury & happiness but they didn’t get breakfast until FIVE AM today & their union has voted to strike

ICE under Trump 2.0 built an unprecedented media operation - deploying videographers to raids, pumping out edgy social posts, swiping pop music for hype videos - and the main metric for evaluating its impact shows that Americans now hate ICE more than ever www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

Breaking: AP calls that Paxton and Cornyn are into the runoff. This is the Dem dream: three more months of bruising (expensive!) Republican infighting. The pressure campaign on Trump to endorse Cornyn will only intensify, as Paxton is seen as weaker candidate talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cornyn-...

Out: Vote Blue No Matter Who In: PRIMARY THAT FUCKER OR YOU'RE A SUCKER

Me to the careers of anti-trans Dems:

RACE CALL: All three North Carolina Democrats (Shelly Willingham, Nasif Majeed, & Carla Cunningham) who voted to overturn Governor Josh Stein's vetoes have LOST their respective Democratic primaries

There's actual research on this: support for wars always goes down over time, and never up. I've never seen support for a war start at such a low level, and it will only go down from here.

I'll post the final numbers when I can get them, but for now... THE DEMOCRATS HAVE FLIPPED ARKANSAS'S #HD70 (Harris+2) Looks like a pretty good-sized overperformance from 2024 too

A Kuwaiti F-18 could do the funniest thing right now

Nepo baby billionaires at war with nepo baby billionaires, for all of history

Texas voters, protect your vote: • Bring an approved photo ID, Texas is strict about this • If your name does not match exactly, bring supporting documents • If they challenge you at the polls, you can request a provisional ballot 2/3

This is Senator Peter Welch, air-quoting like crazy, when asking Noem about Corey Lewandowski being her “special advisor”

Nothing says fancy like deodorant and lube locked up behind plexiglass

This is Frankie. She just got a fancy new puffer and thinks she’s better than everyone now. And she is correct. 13/10 (IG: frankielasaucisse)

Shift change

Yes, the world is a garbage fire - but have you given a dog any French fries lately?

It’s 5:54 am. I’ve been at work for two hours. They have been snoring just to rub it in

If you’ve had a ruff day, Zuri commiserates

Bluesky is bad because everyone thinks identically (tells me I stink) instead of featuring a diversity of thought (telling me I'm a smart handsome boy)

And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright. www.engadget.com/ai/the-supre...

“Hey everybody, I heard you needed super cute walkies! Come explore sunny Seattle spring with your pal Indy - that’s me!” 🧵

when they say the side of fruit is berries but it’s chunks of melon.

one thing that's clear this week is that he doesn't know what the word preventative means

the NYT op-ed editor commissioned the executor of jeffrey epstein's estate to write for the paper eight times in 2025

“No stupid rules of engagement”

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
