Wish I could recall who deserves credit for "I don't actually think Dem leaders are controlled opposition, but if they were how would it look much different?

i'll be honest, I searched her because I figured she was one of the ones who caved. I'm not actually obligated whatsoever to like her any more than I previously did because frankly I see it as my duty as a citizen to hate and be suspicious of you at all times but I appreciate the gesture

by accident and through no action of their own, they actually did have him, finally, and it made them so uncomfortable they're helping him get loose again

they should do the government subsidies for this instead of OpenAI

Email from a student who turned in a ChatGPT essay. Not even looking at the ChatGPT output in the apology 🥴

just an incredible website

"AI bailout during shutdown" would turn the Joker into the Joker

FART BOY AND REEKY DOG vs HOW IT ALL ENDS

“You need 8 cups of water a day” is junk science. Most people get all of their water needs fulfilled by the moisture in fresh mozzarella cheese

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

you could still absolutely walk The Big Man into passing universal healthcare and people should be trying lol

Look, it will be a tough pill for many to swallow, but for the good of the country Democrats must work in a spirit of bipartisanship to advance the president’s policy priorities of making private insurance illegal and eliminating the filibuster.

My mind returns to the guy who live-streamed taking the blood soaked merch immediately following the shooting Content uber alles

majestic. beautiful. evocative

It's actually not swindling to tell people what they want to hear if you actually intend on doing those things. Swindling would be something like, just for example, announcing a fake Hyperloop system solely to kill California's high speed rail initiative.

Breathtaking

zohran: good morning rama my wife rama: hello mamdani

LOGGING ON

again find it bizarre that national dem leaders avoid the topic of ICE even on here but have time to congratulate an unpopular former speaker on their retirement from insider trading at 85

like how little do you think of americans that “daily videos of masked men terrorizing children and tearing families apart” is an issue you don’t touch because you think you’re going to lose on it. that’s insane

why is the president making the line go down instead of up. mistake IMO

Just to recap what this was, because I really do feel like people would be into it: there were about 25 of us on a Zoom call and everyone was sharing what was working and not working w/r/t trying to write or revise under an aggressive timeline. Very cool creative discussion of habits and practices

most of the internet makes me feel like I'm having a stroke at this point

honored to get the @coribush.bsky.social bump 🫡

[beaming with delight] This is the worst football game i've ever seen

My kids keep telling me about how badly they want to go to beast land so they can watch me have my head cut off

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

this was genuinely really fun. if you're a writer working on something I bet you'd love chatting with the community that's built up around this. What a good time

god damn yeah this is the whole thing

In just over an hour you can come get on a zoom call with laura and me and shriek/vent/brag about how your #nanowrimo is going

Stop saying the cop was assaulted by a sandwich You have to use the passive voice. The officer was impacted by a sweet onion chicken teriyaki of unclear origin

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

this is now the second-greatest clip of a libertarian panel discussion I have ever seen. and you all know what the first is

set two new personal bike records for myself in the last week. developing new appreciation for hamsters on wheels

I need everyone to observe NFL Personal Foul Logic on this sandwich thing. They always penalize the second guy!

huge huge thank you to the cover designer, Kevin Barrett Kane, who absolutely killed it www.kevinbarrettkane.com

I am telling you that this book is insane in the best way. A materialist's fever dream except it's real

one of my least favorite new publishing "truths" is that books only deserve consistent marketing & publicity if they are already doing well, it's the new "needs experience to get experience" 🤡

RFK was scrambling to get his utensils and comically oversized bib

a slurring donald trump seemed to conflate "colonial marines" and "space marines," demanding to know why more of the latter warhammer fighters were not sent to rescue LV-426, which he mistakenly called "LV-462," drawing crowd murmurs at the white house's annual prayer luncheon.

My narcissism recovery is going so well we made a TV show about it

I went to Fat-Food Balla Gaye 2 and everyone knew you, asked how you are, and said they miss you and just want you to be happy

if you don't want the government to subsidize AI and crypto you're an austerity hawk now

it's so cool and Right On Time that we're just magically slotting in "homeowners" into the bailout in our historical memory. that's gonna serve us really well I bet

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

anecdotally of course but--I have multiple NYC friends decidedly NOT overtly engaged by politics and who work bro-y white-collar jobs in manhattan who got hooked by Zohran and are excited by what he could do for folks. Like some jarring convos in my chats all the sudden lol

christ

yeah man it's hard to say how my publishing podcast finally became unpopular and got canceled. I mean it roughly lined up with when i started posting "the legs feed the wolf" at our listeners all day but I don't think it was that. it couldn't be that,
