I have seen one good example of this plate

Republicans should use all the criticism they're getting from the Pope as an excuse to create a Henry VIII style "Church of America", with Trump as head. Could be a good off-ramp for MAGA to continue running their grift(s) perpetually in a tax-free sandbox, even after they lose '26 & '28 elections.

Come on guys, there's already a "thematically surreal" short film based on a John Lennon recording, and I doubt that AI will be able to come up with anything half as weird.

I know this is not a perfect comparison, but imagine if Google tried to put up a paywall after 5 searches. 😅 💸

In June 2025, LAPD began its Drones as First Responders (DFR) program. They make about 20 flights per day, and have flown as far as 3.5 miles from the launch stations. Raw data is from cloud.skydio.com/dashboard/LAPD, which I then analyzed.

If the US also bans him from entering he will have to live inside Heathrow forever, like that guy in the Tom Hanks movie.

"You develop an instant global consciousness... You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch!'" — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14

America can, should, must, and will blow up the moon!

Relevant to my interests… 😸

Oregon authorities say a dead gray whale washed up on a beach near Florence Thursday morning.

Now, I may be biased, but you know what I think is the issue with all these vibe-coded situation monitoring dashboards? You guessed it... Not enough ambient music.

Just think of how much better a trip to McDonald's would have been in 1995 if they followed through and installed a talking Babe in each restaurant that dispensed free dessert coupons. (McDonald's concept art, 1995)

Well this is just great 🤦 Say hello to Trump's new Treasury Secretary

Can't they just throw out some chum to attract celebrities? It's not like they're an endangered species.

In honor of Lunar New Year, one of my all-time favorite maps: How dumplings spread around the world (tl;dr: It was largely, though not exclusively, the Mongol invasions!)

Happy #FatTuesday! Here's a few costume designs by artist Charles Briton for the 1873 New Orleans Mardi Gras. See more great carnival designs, and learn about their creators, in our essay by @allisoncmeier.bsky.social : publicdomainreview.org/essay/illust... #MardiGras

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me! It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

New rule: every post about the ski jumpers enlarging their crotches to fly further must be accompanied by this gif from Studio Ghibli's Pom Poko

I published an update to my youarelistening.to newsletter. Now it's only one month behind! 😅

Can’t wait for the Beatles movies!

Saved you a click. Anyway why don't all these end with "...and will return in Avengers Doomsday." (My further thoughts in the alt text.)

Had to log in to X for a work thing, and it's funny to me that Grok has a big "Think Harder" button over its main "Ask anything" UI. Why wouldn't they just make ten louder, and make ten be the top number, and make that a little louder?
