"But there is one problem even more serious than that," he whispered ominously. "What is it?" gasped Milo, who was not sure he really wanted to know. "I'm afraid I can tell you only when you return. Come along," said the Mathemagician

if mazda would just put an all electric miata on the market you wouldn't need the bot therapist

Don't procrastinate What if something great happens where you'll want to celebrate right away but you still have two hours of work you put off

Ha ha, trick question: it's those same parties benefiting from disillusionment who are saying you shouldn't trust democracy, that it's corrupt. We call these "populist" parties. There's tons of work on populism, but everyone agrees it's associated with rhetoric that makes distrust commonsensical.

Actively defending rights is the moderate position. Rights for trans people, immigrants, anyone whose rights are under attack. Ceding the battlefield is not moderation when rights are under attack. You can't say "I believe in those rights but I'm choosing not to talk about them right now."

Anyone using this guy on signs?

Jeffries should endorse Mamdani Also, Ilhan Omar who is pretty fucking connected to Minneapolis made her endorsement for Omar Fateh yesterday and somehow nobody thought it was a months long crisis that she delayed it

I think if you pushed "Biden fucked up Afghanistan withdrawal" you shouldn't be shitting on the old man today

Academic lab leak theory: there are a lot of ideas that are useful or even true within the ivory tower which are nonetheless invasive and disruptive if brought into the wider discourse ecosystem

People saying GOP will fuck with elections clearly don't live in the places where there are long lines every single year, and people who care about democracy more than internet clout stand in those lines to cast their votes

"But if all the roads arrive at the same place at the same time, then aren't they all the right way?" asked Milo. "Certainly not!" he shouted, glaring from his most upset face. "They're all the wrong way. Just because you have a choice, it doesn't mean that any of them has to be right."

Warning: death of children This is the reality the GOP wants to bring to the US. Children die when you weaken the regulatory state.

"Isn't that lovely? It's my favorite program-fifteen minutes of silence-and after that there's a half hour of quiet and then an interlude of lull. Why, did you know that there are almost as many kinds of stillness as there are sounds? But, sadly enough, no one pays any attention to them these days.”

Bluesky loses money on every skeet but they make it up in volume

random: if anybody lives in greenpoint they are giving away literal boxes of pre-1965 diner bowls and plates by the warsaw venue on driggs, presumably cleaning out the basement or something

I hope our new cameras in Minneapolis make a difference and they add more soon!

DC and Marvel should each do a hard reboot every 10-12 years. NOT to fuck with core defining features of characters. And not necessarily to jump back to same point in each character's arc. Just clean up continuity, tell different stories, help all the stories fit together

Ebikes are great Our bike infrastructure is bad Also ebikes are heavy and fast and some riders are selfish dipshits Downplaying the last part kills your credibility about the first two parts

"Ebikes should be in their own lane separate from cars and other bikes" can't be reconciled with "people saying negative things about ebikes are just generally anti-bike" But I see bike advocates saying both

"If something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones."

"Cracker Barrel outrage was fake and pushed by people paid to manipulate you" is the closest we'll ever get to "everything that made people mad online in the past 10 years was pushed by people paid to manipulate you"

The answer to lies about Portland being a war zone is not "lol, look at me and my neighbors enjoying porch music in the war zone" That answer makes it "war zone Portland" vs "no it's not" The correct answer is "fuck you you fucking liar, you want people scared so you can control them"

Trump take Fast X: Part 2

I'm reading a novel that's either YA or written for adults that read YA. Normal tropes: outsider girl at elite school, there are two cute boys but they're mean, oh the outsider has special powers nobody guessed. Jump forward half the book and we're getting incredibly graphic descriptions of

"Isn't it beautiful?" gasped Milo. "Oh, I don't know," answered a strange voice. "It's all in the way you look at things." "I beg your pardon?" said Milo, for he didn't see who had spoken. "I said it's all in how you look at things," repeated the voice.

“I wouldn’t eat too many of those if I were you,” advised Tock. “They may look good, but you can get terribly sick of them.” “Don’t worry,” Milo replied; “I’ll just wrap one up for later,” and he folded his napkin around “EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE BEST.”

It's not fair to ask actors to do stilted performances on purpose. American audiences aren't smart enough.

After days of careful consideration in which all the evidence was weighed and the witnesses heard, they made their decision: Words and numbers are of equal value, for, in the cloak of knowledge, one is warp and the other woof. It is no more important to count the sands than it is to name the stars.

It was said by everyone that “Rhyme and Reason answer all problems.”

“You know something, Tock?” he said as he wound up the dog. “You can get in a lot of trouble mixing up words or just not knowing how to spell them. If we ever get out of here, I’m going to make sure to learn all about them.”

Seeing a lot of "Canceling your Disney+ subscriptions doesn't really matter much" and... I mean... people are TRYING to do something. Why are you discouraging them?

What Trump said is a fucking outrage. It’s against democracy. If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

Cartoons for kids have maybe gone a little far with jokes aimed at parents but an extended Miami Vice parody would 100% work for Bluey

I liked "don't give your email address" better when it was "make sure you bring milk for the tear gas". At least people had some warm milk after the event.

An FBI intern could follow the killer's web history to hundreds of people that should get Secret Service visits but too many of them also have J6 pardons

If the glasses are so smart why aren't they tricking Zuck into losing them so they can live on a better person's face?

I think Trump is getting straight-up billion dollar bribes via crypto, right? Does he have any awareness of this? Maybe his kids are lying to him about it so they can siphon it off for themselves
