Upon finding out that I would be going into grad school to become a clinical therapist, a manager for a min wage job I did for 6 months asked me if I was psychoanalyzing them at that very moment. This was during the interview for said job. They were not making a joke.

The last sentence though 💀

Got a legitimate laugh from me 15 seconds in when he walks past Chip's house while talking about patronage for "affluent friends"

The Olivia Nuzzi - RFK Jr. thing is comparatively very minor, but the “how dare you suggest journalists should follow basic ethics” wagon-circling looks like it stemmed from a deeper ethos.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

NORTHERN LIGHTS: Take my picture! Please! I don't look great now but the photos will be spectacular, bursts of green and pink! Take as many photos as you can! THE MOON: Do not take my photo, if you little apes dare to photograph me I will be so tiny, I swear to god I will make myself so goddamn tiny

This is even weirder (and I would argue, more morally offensive to his constituents) than crossing the floor. What on earth is going on behind the scenes of the CPC that makes you quit the job voters elected you to do barely 6 months ago, with no rationale given?

A disturbingly accurate analogy for Dotonburi. What food do you like? We'll fry any food your heart desires and put it on a stick for you, and then flash lasers in your eyes for no good reason.

The jays having one good inning and then spending three hours holding everyone hostage while they waste any and all goodwill is the energy Toronto brings to this nation, I just want Americans to know this

Look at us. We’re all here, on the 97th most popular social media site, enjoying a live event together.

Springer hitting Wrobleski after all of that was almost poetic. #Jays

Hitting the pitcher who was just warned about hitting a batter

The bullpens running in is always the funniest part

I made the mistake of posting on a Japan travel subreddit a year ago that I planned to meet friends in Shibuya for Halloween, and I got scolded by goddamn weeaboo expats for even considering it. Showed up anyway and what do you know, it was 90% locals in honest-to-god incredible costumes

????? #Jays

Show the streaker you cowards

Give Kiefer Sherwood the key to the city. #Canucks

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

I got what I wanted

I beg for the sweet release of death #Jays

*Inning 25* BENCH COACH: What do we do, Dave? We're all out of pitchers. *Dave Roberts pets Bud, the team's lucky golden retriever* DAVE ROBERTS: That's where you're wrong...

If I had a nickel for the number of times this game I've said "wow the Oilers made a dogshit defensive play there" I'd have like....$1.45. Also Sherwood's disallowed goal was the direct result of another terrible Oilers change regardless of whether Myers was two inches offside or whatever #canucks

Why does Alejandro Kirk give so much Ham Porter from The Sandlot energy? #Jays

THAT’S VANCOUVER CANADIAN ADDISON BARGER COMING THROUGH

Taps the sign

Enjoying this very fine pilsner from Tuff City. Go #Jays!

Read somewhere that Trump was asked about the ad in a press gaggle days ago: he shrugged it off as a fair play by Ontario. Now he's supposedly furious. 100% this is from someone in his inner circle (Lutnick?) who genuinely fears this will derail the USSC case and is whispering in his master's ear.

This morning, with coffee 😌

Baseball! #Jays

Fire Evander Kane into the fucking sun. Absolutely unforgivable defensive play there to *keep it in your own zone on purpose*. #Canucks

That just seemed.....inevitable. Oof. #Jays

What a catch by Rivas 👀 #Jays

Switched from the #Canucks game to the #Jays game while making dinner and promptly missed the 4 goal explosion in the 2nd period.....

How does British Columbia's property tax system reward multimillionaires? Let's dig into Dan Fumano's article in the @vancouversun.com.web.brid.gy (1/11)...🧵#BritishColumbia #Cdnpoli

Garland! My boy! #Canucks

increasingly convinced preventing americans from getting their little packages is the thing that will take this government down

The bees have discovered Brutalism

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

Isaac Chotiner has invited me to sample some delicious Amontillado wine and I don’t know guys but I think I’m going to come out of this interview seeming like *quite* the wine expert

Folks I have caught up to episode 7 of Alien Earth and it brings me no joy to inform you that it is objectively terrible television, a show ostensibly for adults but really meant to appeal to children. the eyeball is fucking rad though

As a child psychiatrist whose job is working with teens contemplating suicide, let me respond to this with the nuance and thoughtfulness it deserves: WHAT. THE. ABSOLUTE. FUCK.

McElroy is bang on. City councils are not parliaments, which are designed to be antagonistic. City councils are boards of governance. Different rules and standards apply.

My man, you used to work for Slate, a news org with headlines so pulpy they made BuzzFeed look like the Wall Street Journal by comparison

..............

And don't let the door hit you on your way out.

it's cute how amazon lets you filter your shopping search by the name of the seller so you can make sure you're only looking at products from reputable brands like.... uhh... well... hm

Absolutely terrible.
