The way Comcast refers to bills as the “Monthly Extract” in their emails gives it a real parasitic vibe.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Why is the Daddy Party allowed to rant & rave & do impulsive, stupid shit & never, ever be held to account, while the Mommy Party is endlessly scolded & lectured & second-guessed by everyone, even when it is earnestly trying to do the right thing? Gosh. What a puzzler.

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

I have completely deleted my Duolingo. I was informed by one of my kids that the company has removed most of its employees and 70% of the company is run by AI. I urge everyone to delete their app.

At this point I'm honestly just calling my reps and bluntly saying you're old between the two of us I'm the one more likely to survive an ecoli infection. Maybe do something about this.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead.

Never seen it framed this way by all recent elections Wild

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

The Bay Area weather radar (KMUX) has been out of service for more than 24 hours now. An expensive broken part needs to be replaced and specially ordered, but that may not be possible due to ongoing freeze on government credit card spending, I’ve been told.

Funny story, Elon was named after a character called "The Elon" from Wernher von Braun's (the Nazi rocket scientist) sci-fi novel about a technocrat who used rockets to colonize and rule Mars as a dictator. So, it's always been like naming him Adolf.

I can’t get this roiling, boiling imagery out of my head. The idea that supergiants the size of Jupiter’s orbit could be so turbulent, with bubbles rising at 70,000 mph, is just incomprehensible. Next time you look up there, this is the red one on the shoulder of Orion. youtu.be/s9QbzA6aHm4?...

When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume
