i’m so sorry but as a jew i fear this is the catholic version of the classic @averyedison.com post

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

"So, we evoked a demon that can sit between you and all objective knowledge, and it's really useful but you can never quite trust it. And then we made it paranoid it might have it's own demons intermediating access to objective truth." Descartes: "mon ami, I am too fucking high for zis"

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

You literally cannot win on X. Thinking you’ll win hearts and minds one the Everything App is a delusion.

The bonus to this is that if Biden dies, they will try the same thing on us and it won’t work because we think of him as a politician and not god emperor

When It Happens, we may have the opportunity to do to the rest of the American right what the reaction to Kirk's death did to the zoomer right. Bouncing between "your body my choice" and "this is so disrespectful to his memory" broke them

The president of the United States is a *multi-billion* dollar crypto scammer If we can’t jail him for the rest of his short life over this, we don’t have a justice system at all youtu.be/miqTpm2awvw?...

Actually, I think it’s morally correct that all people who want low-density-zoned McMansions should have to live in 120 heat as punishment

This is a hall of famer

this video from the bbc about texas bbq is frying me

I mean, it's not like there's a great paper showing that The Apprentice significantly increased Trump's political popularity because he was portrayed as really good at "moneymaking" ungated: static1.squarespace.com/static/59485...

Using an Intel Mac for the first time in years.

leadership affirmatively bringing the Laken Riley Act to the floor, with Schumer voting on it in committee, was more or less my breaking point.

since Anthropic has been directed by the USG to nerf Fable whenever it tries to do anything "useful", I have conclusively proven that since Fable has not nerfed me even *once* in tonight's foray into abstract algebra and type theory, that category theory truly is just abstract nonsense, as designed.

This is a @horsedisc.bsky.social post and you can’t convince me otherwise

we should have hung lee

a lot of podcasts will say that the Supreme Court sucks but we’re the only one that’s really about it

Happy SB-79 day to those who celebrate

Another entry in "the groupchats are making rich Democrats literally crazy"

This interview in Vanity Fair came out in 2010, and this exchange from it has lived rent-free in my head ever since.

the difference is that fable 5 genuinely loves me as a person and wants what's best for me

The ironic thing is, I do think manual labor jobs have redeeming values, but “working in factory” is in almost every case the worst possible example of that, and it’s the one these people zero in on without fail

As a former professional athlete, this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Your kid has a less than 1% chance of getting an athletic college scholarship. You’re better off putting the money into a 529 plan.

man I hear more young people in my life making jokes about Jews than I’m entirely comfortable with, gotta say

TBH, I think Steve is giving the Court too much credit here. It's not at all clear to me that they've shown up with a fire extinguisher as opposed to, say, a bag of marshmallows and some hot dogs.

Why do I suddenly feel the need to impress Jodie Foster

Yeah… we got the numbers; some have been published and some haven’t; but regular sports gambling (weekly) is definitely closer to 90% men and the totals being wagered by gender are staggeringly different

I had my undergrads do weekly reflection questions & I asked them to pick a cognitive bias and tell a story of how they were impacted by it I was shocked by how many young men chose escalation of commitment and told gambling addiction stories Several groups chose online gambling for their projects

When you look at who has bet on sports in the past year, it’s about 65-70% men When you look at who is doing it weekly, it’s closer to 90% men When you look at total losses, the % from men gets even higher

This has got to be like 95% men and I’m telling you, it’s not going to help our future gender politics when women pull ahead financially because of it. These dudes are not going to look inward when they go ass out on their parlays, prediction markets, and crypto

Let me be cringe this one (1) time: don’t ever let someone convince you not to vote. Vote in every election, every year, your entire life. It always matters.

FUCKING EGG CARTEL

I swear if Collins Houdinis into another senate term

You know what really burns me about people saying “but if we pack the courts, MAGA will too”? They can do it anyways! Arguably they already have! Democrats engaging with power honestly does not magically force MAGA to do or not do anything. Why do you believe that only democrats have agency?

I was reliably informed this was impossible.

absolutely vital to win the senate this november. need to basically blockade judicial confirmations for the next two years.

I hate this. like, the attitude is that anthropic's security is paramount. yours, however, they're willing to be flexible about. this is extremely gross.

the anti-birthright idea didn’t circulate for long enough in conservative legal circles. If it had circulated for another three years it would’ve been a majority opinion. I really do not think this fight is over
