The vibecession was real but it is very much over and replaced with real economic problems.

What kind of Chicago hater created this chart? The Sears tower is taller than the Empire State Building whether you measure to the top of occupied floors or to the top of the antenna.

The Mandalorian and Grogu has the good bones of a fun mindless action movie, but is just a half hour too long for that genre which sinks it.

Fellas, is it flawed to become The Joker?

There is an interesting application of intersectionalism here, where this kind of porn is obsessed with black men but completely disregards black women. Obviously they aren't worse off for not being included, this kind of heavily racialized and self hating porn is bad for anyone, but I think it

unconditional love has always struck me as a perverse concept like, if I got on a murder-rape spree and you still love me, there's something wrong, no? I know it sounds like I'm trying to be edgy but the term has always given me the heeby-jeebies in the exact same way cults do

Every starship launch seems to result in less interest, even when they explode on landing like this one.

This kind of self flagellation needs to die in woke 2.0. Trump is not a punishment that we deserve, he is just an evil that needs to be defeated.

As a Husker alumnus, if you live Nebraska district 1 please BACK the Democratic candidate Chris Backemeyer. He helped to create the peace deal with Iran that Trump so disastrously undid.

This is silly, backwards framing at best, and deliberate undermining of Ukraine, at worst. The fact that Ukraine's anticorruption bodies are powerful and independent enough to charge none other but the former chief of staff of the president actually bolsters Zelensky's EU push!

This is what self confidence looks like. www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

I did wonder why it takes so long to get from Montréal to New York. Might have something to do with the absolutely shocking state of the infrastructure… Three broken sleepers within 20 metres or so… And this is on the mainline between Montréal and Québec City/New York.

Harper’s, the magazine for people who dislike numbers 15 Dems over 75 are running for reelection. I’m generally of the view that unless (like Marci Kaptur) you’re holding a tough seat that it’s good to step aside by 75. But 15 is only 7% of the Dem caucus, almost certainly less than 7% in Jan

Well this sucks. Hopefully the Senate version of the farm bill won't destroy state level animal welfare laws. www.edhat.com/california/n...

Got married today. Feels pretty good.

"This is TOC. Negotiations have fallen apart. Move to secure the premises." He was already on it. The mission was the most perilous David "Judge" Beaumont had accepted since he transferred from the LSPD to the Feds. It was not a barricaded suspect, active shooter, bomb threat, or even Arch Linux

I mean it’s kinda hot. I love seeing these men want to get bigger and use ai to make themselves huge and get upset that they’re not that huge. Means they really want to get BIGGER

Spirit Airline should have just pivoted to AI.

trump: idk about this guy bessent, is he really the best one for the job? vance: he’s got excellent qualifications trump: but is he… you know… vance: sir you’ve MET his husband trump: no no, you know… *awkward swimming gestures*

The international student quotas have been absolutely disastrous for Canada's universities with the loss of full tuition paying students and future Canadian productivity and taxes. macleans.ca/society/inte...

So the roughly 2,000 ships (from quick googling) stuck in the Persian Gulf are going to try to leave as quickly as possible, but I can't imagine any tankers wanting to sail into it during this two week ceasefire.

"The researcher found out about this success by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park."

The President of the United States is publicly threatening to commit genocide. For love of country, for the freedoms we cherish and for the values we hold dear, the House must immediately reconvene and vote to impeach Donald Trump. Read my full statement: tonko.house.gov/news/documen...

Losing a war *and* creating a nasty inflationary recession is something that can topple fully consolidated totalitarian regimes. Breaking a mere aspiring-dictator caudillo and his movement is easy mode.

Oh, look, we have confirmation and dates on the five debates that match the five she originally asked for, who could’ve guessed the Platner campaign was lying about shit again to incite an internet mob against their opponent again

Banger of the day.

there's a growing tension between alignment-as-ethical-character (alignment to The Good) and alignment-as-corrigibility (alignment to operator commands)

It's all just so dumb.

Good morning. "Jerry Chen Seeking Verification" was a 32-month sociological experiment studying the effects of excessive nagging on social media and its effects on users, conducted by Quinnipiac University. We are now complete with our study; thank you for your time.

The NYC casinos remain a terrible, terrible idea. A financial bomb in the era of online gaming that will also cause plenty of addiction in the meantime. nysfocus.com/2025/09/25/r...

This quote that everyone is talking about today is from 2018. Nobody talking about this really knows what Andy Weir's actual politics are, and neither do I.

Lula is 80 and should not be running in this election. Term limits are good. Another Bolsonaro would be catastrophic, this is obviously a situation where a Kamala for Biden or Carney for Trudeau type switch should happen.

By a voice vote, the #Senate passed H.R. 7147 - DHS Funding for Fiscal Year 2026, as amended.

Given the not remotely insignificant chance something else horrible comes out about Platner, Maine should seriously look at getting a serious indy candidate to run. With RCV it's not a vote split risk like it would be in other states.

There is a section of the UAE that is inside of Oman that is inside of the UAE. share.google/vPphZVhJAqk1...

If he succeeds in making these they cannot be considered legal tender, and those responsible for making these coins should be subject to counterfeiting laws.

A good way for Canada to prevent the risk of dutch disease, reduce its consumers fuel costs, its debt and carbon emissions would be to apply its carbon tax on oil exports as an emergency windfall measure for the duration of the price surge.

hey this fucking sucks and adds insult to injury for former USAID workers katforillinois.com/issues/human...

I should've been more clear in the visual that I do also hate Grok

software development can now be divided into two major eras: BCE and CE Before Claude Era Claude Era anno Domini nostri Claudius

Populism is intellectually lazy because it eliminates the need to sort better from worse elites. Easier to indict them all. Worst of all, it *validates* the evacuation of trust from *all* elites. But guess what? Some have done great work building a world of peace & prosperity against long odds.

Unregistered lobbyist advocating against solar power and batteries in New York. Putting in a COELIS complaint to force them to register, hopefully other people will see this and do the same. nyenergyalliance.org

So GDP growth down from 2.8% in 2024 to 2.1% in 2025. Honestly a much better number for 2025 than I was expecting at the start of the year.

They're just like me fr fr

The SPR shouldn't be releasing oil now. It should be buying oil now to sell at $150-$200. Selling oil now just delays price rises instead of minimizing them. This is also an argument for privatizing the SPR. A profit maximizing company would do a better job of reducing volatility, the sale would
