do not honestly know if this title is literal or metaphorical

I’d really like somebody to test poll him for 2028 D primary

sousveillance state

BITCOIN DIPS BELOW $70,000 FOR FIRST TIME SINCE NOVEMBER 2024

I think the D ask package on DHS is good and maybe just as important I think it indicates that Chuck thinks he can hold the caucus forever.

personally I think fish sauce should be the eighth kitchen tap, after hot water, cold water, sparkling water, espresso, dashi, One Long Noodle, One Long Udon Noodle, California roll, ice cream, One Long French Fry, and the fresh mozzarella taps

i am confident that the +40 Woman Shot will be of interest to some on here; who depends on what, exactly, they mean by that

ok, well, perhaps i have misunderstood the antipathy towards cilantro, fish sauce, and chili peppers entirely

i don't think she can clear the field but i think she probably can preempt some people who might otherwise be in her lane

well you see the thing about fish sauce is you spend a few bucks on a bottle and then you have to find meals you can use it in (all of them) and use it up before it goes bad (basically never)

fish sauce and chili peppers are her go-to for inflexible ingredients? really?

By sheer coincidence, "we're sorry to see you go" was also my message to the Washington Post.

update

huh. TIL

approximately 18 inches of snow/ice overhang off my front porch roof, Damoclean

well that clip is gonna show up in some ads

(A Cook R+10 number means that if the GOP is at 50 nationally you’d expect an R in the district to get 60%, which if there are no third party votes is 60-40, or R+20 two way margin. People get tripped up on this constantly for obvious reasons.)

i think the Houston Texans were probably the fourth best team to make the NFL playoffs this year but if Mike Vrabel were to say that they played a mediocre game in Foxboro I think even CJ Stroud would have to admit that he’s correct

did somebody leave the data center printer on

i don't usually do fundraisers but i do believe in love, and Seattle

weird enough q for a RT

a city is a hard thing to kill but they're trying.

No matter the breed, every dog has one of three default dispositions: 1. Dipshit 2. Has a Job 3. Trying to Pick a Fight with God

good. not enough and probably they're going to Ohio, but good.

you're deporting and killing people who are on the inside and who have lived most of their lives here. Johnson doesn't realize it and wouldn't agree with it, but his love/hate line is an argument for amnesty.

An all-time double "worst person you know makes a great point" about an even worse person

ok this is pretty good

we keep getting closer to Russell Wilson

I really do not think that the “set fires” crew will ultimately be pleased with any implementation of a universal rule that if someone at a protest is acting in a way you feel might cause danger to you, you should assault them

under different circumstances this is congressional-inquiry level scandal

The Martian making a late run at it for me

this is where we are right now and i still think this is reasonable scoring for outcomes. I should have put "no detainment for citizens" in the "big wins" category though instead of leaving it out.

Can I tell you my super-accurate asshole detection screening mechanism on BlueSky? These 2 tests never fail to identify people to block: 1/ Anyone who uses the r-slur 2/ Anyone who refers contemptuously to mothers having political agency--e.g., use of terms such as "wine moms" or "normie moms"

was the sucker punch also valorous

encouraged that everyone is adopting a “let’s make sure Fine doesn’t win this” posture

people talking about their garden are often pretty interesting. meet more interesting gardeners, Chuck.

they don’t have the horses

I can’t say I recommend reading the QTs on this exactly but they are certainly a mood

any time I’m driving a car and it slides or hydroplanes, at any speed, is on the leaderboard for “worst moments of life to date” I have only once gotten into any kind of an accident this way, it was at about 5 mph into a snowbank, and nobody was at all hurt. so it’s always been ~fine. still tho

so from here we want to get the best DHS deal we can get, or failing that shut down DHS

this is why we're going to win, just in case it wasn't clear. they can buy every media outlet and fund every court case, but at the end of the day, cis people are increasingly chill with trans people as they increasingly have trans people in their life who they love and cherish. we're inevitable.

hang on, this just completely doesn’t math out if he’s talking annual that implies that we’d get a ~10% GDP increase out of way less than a 10% increase in the workforce, probably closer to 3% if he’s talking lifetime that’s nowhere near enough to retire the debt

this is as close as I’m gonna get to the larger discourse but I hope everyone on all sides can agree that punching Will Stancil for taking pictures is bad practice and bad politics

feel good story of the day: the winner of this coat - by far the most expensive item in the auction - told me that i should keep it and he was happy just to make the donation. huge shoutout to @miguel-campos.bsky.social - so, so generous of you!! be like miguel, donate to @abortionfunds.bsky.social

Our military intelligence arrested a Russian spy, a long time staffer at the Polish Ministry of Defence, who was a GRU and Wagner (if I understand it right) agent. Huge is an understatement. #Poland

maybe this is cherry-picking a little bit but do you guys remember Aerosmith in the early 90s? “Cryin’” and “Crazy” were in constant MTV rotation. I’m younger than Alicia Silverstone and Liv Tyler (both aged 16 at time of filming) but I bet most of their viewers were not

this is actually kind of a bummer imo because we want them spending time and energy on shit that doesn’t work

nice

I think about strategic nonviolence like this: you are trying to defeat the greatest chess grandmaster in world history. The good news is you get to pick the game. Don’t pick chess.

I think one thing Claude Code etc is likely to do is make your most useless coworker considerably more useful. this is in some tension with slashing headcount
