Well this is just absolutely horrible news.

Another thing 23yo me would have long thoughts about is seeing future me taking his hearing aids out before operating power tools.

Holy shit y’all

That vi-VI-ii progression in the pre-chorus of Taylor's new song is *so* freaking satisfying. (the first one happens at about 0:25)

it’s like i’ve always said: you never want to bounce the ball off the back of your own teammate’s head from 10 feet away in the backcourt while tied in the final minute of Game 2 of the NBA Finals

Sarah Michelle Gellar honors her "Buffy" co-star Anthony Head following his death:

TIRED: you're the pride and joy of Illinois WIRED: you're the biggest thrill in Merrillville

credit where credit is due, getting your cult addicted to tallow before importing screwworms is a good bit

You’re not ready for el Mundial until FIFA blesses the airport shitters

Does faking it always lead to making it? Or is that more of an aspirational thing?

I will fucking die mad that we let the stupidest people in society with medieval peasant brain ruin recognizing what should have been a moon landing level triumph

I’ve been thinking a lot about the shifting baseline concept as applied to everyday life. People in their 20’s now have no memory of highly functional systems, products (from blenders to sweaters) that were so well made you could hand them down across generations, or even helpful customer service.

How many days are too many days to start counting down to a major life event? 1095 is probably too many?

No, this can't be, there was a JPMC analyst who said the Strait would be reopening today

I'm not sure any local news story in my lifetime has bored me to tears quite like the "where will the Bears go" story. Go wherever the fuck you want as long as it isn't funded by my taxes.

Heard this all time fucking *banger* at the liquor store today. Felt so right in the that context. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQZB...

I smell of saw-burnt birch plywood, and regret

I went to bed before it was over due to oldness and general lack of interest, but I'm glad the Thunder lost. What that franchise did to the fans in Seattle is truly unforgivable. I don't care how long ago it was. Looking forward to the finals. No rooting interest, just expecting great ball.

"Why are people so negative about the economy?" Consider this. There are two possibilities: 1) He's right and my livelihood is screwed. Maybe not 18 months but soon. 2) He's full of shit, it won't happen, and AI is a giant bubble that will crash the economy. Why would I feel good about either?

ah yes, the traditional sound of fireworks on Thursday, May 28

DHS (via CBP) also covers international freight, right? So this would affect cargo flights at those airports as well? I really want them to do this. The chaos and backlash will be breathtaking.

Updated my linked in profile for the first time in seven years, just adding one word. I have a feeling it's gonna get weird.

Ok this is a truly great tweet

TIL the same guy (Chris Appelbaum) directed the videos for FOW's "Stacy's Mom" and Rihanna's "Umbrella." It kinda tracks.

Today I got "Scarlet Begonias" and "Sugar Magnolia" confused, just another thing that 23yo me would be horrified by if he could glimpse his future self

Cleveland didn’t even show up to their own funeral

Make your bsky experience better

Watching the media cover the cease fire “negotiations” as if dear leader is acting in good faith really gives it away. They’re hopeless, useless, gullible, adrift.

DFW: Don't Forget to Wizz

Reminder that formerly enslaved Black people started Memorial Day. It was initially called Decoration Day as they decorated the graves of Union troops. “As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free”

A good thought exercise before any social media reply is, "would I say this thing in exactly this way if I were sitting on a barstool next to this person?"

I feel the same way about flying our flag right now as I do about pulling my blue passport out in airports: a profound sense of shame. I know the nation has always been very far from perfect, but whatever pride I once had, they stole that, too.

Look i don’t give a shit unless he’s dead

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel's personal merchandise website was taken offline today after it was revealed that hackers had hijacked it to trick visitors into downloading malware. san.com/cc/kash-pate...

Reality bath from @gelliottmorris.com: Given Biden approval rating & inflation/consumer sentiment, "the surprise of the [2024] election is that Harris did as well as she did...the Dem nominee was on track to lose the popular vote by 4 points. She lost by 1.5." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-dnc-au...

We're going to Valhalla in November.

Everclear, hands down. It was a few years ago, and Art was clearly on a rake-in-the-bucks nostalgia tour playing with a bunch of session guys half his age. The lowest energy, who-gives-a-shit performance I've ever seen. I doubt they did a full hour (as a headliner). Brutal.

My beautiful home.

I can't believe we turned "Laptop Worker" into a term of derision. We now have the tech and business models to allow millions of people to make a living in ways unthered to a farm plot, assembly line,, or cubicle. That's very cool! Do not project your weird yearning for the mines on to me.

The guillotine doesn’t care.

amounts to a trumpist performance art, imitating the Leader who is doing the same thing at scale

Say "looking at it very strongly" again motherfucker

Credit where it's due, it should be called the "Thanks, Merrick" Fund

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Too many LIVturds on this leaderboard.

Every day it gets closer, and every day I want it more. The joy and bliss will be nearly overwhelming.
