we gotta stop giving people credit for reinventing Primus every couple of years

Congrats to the LIRR workers on their new contract. Very much like the ILA port strike in 2024 a lot of people on the internet got pretty far out over their skis assigning totemic importance and conspiracy theories to a labor action that was ultimately resolved in like 72 hours.

there are two glaring problems with LLM chatbots that will make them relevant for distinct time period: 1. everyone believes they deserve a little assistant they can boss around 2. we don’t properly teach gen x and older how to use key word search

hey everyone sorry sorry it’s been a messy day a the Computer Factory i tripped on a cord and my massive low hanging balls swung right through the fly of my boxer shorts and landed on the “break all computers” button. why wasn’t i wearing pants? casual friday

imagine hating on striking workers because they “already make too much money.” so interesting to see which jobs are seen as deserving of high wages

This story on the LIRR strike has two points getting missed elsewhere: 1. It's happening only after 3 years of negotiations and 6 arbitration boards 2. Workers care about the passengers they're inconveniencing and know the cost of what they've been forced to do www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/on-the-lir...

we need a president who formally acknowledges meltdown may as an awareness month

stop saying big bean propaganda is a recession indicator. we have a proud tradition in this country of passively consuming agribusiness PR campaigning when it's for animal byproducts, we shouldn't give up our most sacred traditions just because legumes are getting in on the game

hey look at that. cute diner. wait a minute

the thing about the institutional apparatus of the dems is that it’s the biggest collection of losers we’ve seen in my lifetime. despite 2 governing trifectas in the last 18 years and the presidency for 12, they’ve overseen the return of segregationists and the end of bodily autonomy for women

sometimes you watch a movie from a while ago and you’re like what the hell is happening why is this guy going nuts he’s making all these crazy decisions and then you’re like oh wait that lady was about as hot as they came back then huh she’s got this guy walking into traffic about it

g00db0y3: wtf it’s all coal thenicest0n3: coal holy shit what coal xXwellbehavedXx: coal!! omg no c0alLover69: oh hell yeah

i'm the guy in Hell who laughs at the "hot enough for ya?" joke every time. i'm losing my mind. i can't get enough of it. every time Satan tells it i hoot and holler and shake with laughter. who's hell is this anyway. not mine

...causing a period of weightlessness for the president and his staff.

after doing so many knife reviews, I kept hearing the same question: just how much should I spend on a chef's knife? so i answered it. for Bon Appétit, i detail why some knives are more expensive than others, and if price affects performance www.bonappetit.com/story/how-mu...

gonna be writing about knives again pretty soon 👍🏻

you: "your ass better not be writing about knives when i get over there" me: "there's an undeniable appeal to the blade—an object transformative, of which there are few in our world, that can so easily split an item in twain. your meat is whole; your meat is halved. that is the work of the knife"

would you believe that i am once again writing about knives

do you guys like knives

you will never guess what this is in reply to

"You can't be having all these trans women being murdered by men in the headlines when you're trying to convince the public that the safest thing would be for trans women to use the men's bathroom and locker room. "You run the risk of people seeing through the propaganda that way."

total cost of my family's health insurance (employee and employer share) will be $36,000 next year. we're also paying medicaid and medicare taxes, in addition to out of pocket costs. this also buys absurd prior auth processes and arbitrary denials. apparently this is the best we can do as a country

Classic win-now move. You have to give Pittsburgh credit for going for it while their championship window is open.
