wait let me research something real quick, i might be available for this

I'll do it.

This kind of thing happens all the time. I'm often the reason it happens.

I just got one of the most poorly designed messages in a game ever.

Prior discussion from a couple months ago regarding bluesky accounts getting hijacked by scam networks: bsky.app/profile/fain... (nested posts)

If someone could find me a communism threat I would also like to slam it.

"An oyster farmer needs to know when he's shucked."

🚨🚨URGENT CALL TO ACTION: Calling ALL Yale Students, Alumni, Faculty, and Staff!!🚨🚨 According to The New York Times, Yale has reportedly entered settlement discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice over allegations involving admissions at the Yale School of Medicine.

I see a post circulating that says you can get refunds for donations to Graham Planter. No you can't. ActBlue pretty explicitly says they will do refunds if you make an input error, but not if you change your mind about the candidate.

Man got Chotiner’d without even agreeing to an interview. Astounding

This year's menu is long. Here's an amuse bouche of just some of our critical infrastructure policy talks.

I'm not sure what it says about romance if romcoms - our Platonic ideal of relationships - now involve an AI generated person.

I think the only other person I've said this about is Jonathan Chait. I'm confident Jason Whitlock has had a good take before - possibly several good takes. But he's never had a take that was good enough that I can remember he had it.

July 5 is the anniversary of the debut of the bikini. So it’s not like we’re wasting the fireworks.

It’s technically July 4th in California.

Living in DC during all of this is whatever the opposite of going to Woodstock was.

So new york really is just going all in on communicating via banners at tourist attractions.

these colors don't run (mostly they congeal)

It's been like a decade, and I still think PragerU should be a southern gentleman teaching me about pasta sauces.

happy 9th anniversary to this unintentional bit of improv comedy

It is okay to be angry at a wayward son and love him nonetheless. Happy 4th of July.

What kills me about this story is that Meta’s public CSAM scanning clearly does not work, if they’re delivering ads for CSAM content. But this failure will be used as evidence that we need to add scanning for private and encrypted messages. www.bbc.com/news/article...
