Internal AutoZone memo: “.. We’re facing the largest supply shortage of lubricating fluids in the modern history of America. Realistic, middle-of-the-road estimates are for our average available supply in this product category to drop by 40%.” (via Costa Oil) #$AZO

Taiwan should not panic about Trump using Xi's language, because Trump literally parrots the last impressive-seeming person who spoke to him on the topic. It means nothing in the long term other than that Trump has no principles other than self-aggrandizement and racism, which we knew.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

not unrecognizable but he does look like if Belgium had a dictator

A complete failure www.virginiascope.com/spanberger-s...

Wow, that explains more than half the political mailers and calls I got during the last election. A white guy in his 40s in Wisconsin must be a single-issue oral nicotine voter.

Why? No independent/occasional voter is going to vote for a Democrat because they supported this bill. tTere’s got to be a right wing donor operation supporting Democrats in purple districts who ensure that they vote on their side when it counts. Who are they?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Beyond the baby-brained need to only eat sweets and never vegetables, why does a "senior project manager" think a for-profit media company would give you that degree of control over their IP? Netflix won't even show you a list of available titles.

We’ve all observed countless examples of extended LLM usage necessitating individuals live in a completely frictionless reality the last year or so, but even by those standards this is an insane thing to say

UK politics heads, help me understand: If all of the worst people in Starmer's cabinet have turned on him, who do you root for?

Whatever else Xi decides to do when Trump visits, I hope his visit is just walking into impossibly grandiose, opulent spaces that he knows he'll never come close to matching. (If we're lucky, one of them will be the Chongqing East railway station.)

That the supposedly infallible wisdom of the market gets “tricked“ by this every week just shows how invested the handful of people who own everything are in maintaining the illusion that they deserve to be in charge.

The real solution to helping historians do research is actually pretty simple: give archives more money. Money for conservation, preservation, storage (physical an digital), climate controlled facilities, and staff (paid at a living wage). You don't need LLMs, you need money.

Hey look, my internal monologue

The way he says “we’re” is like my texts read if autocorrect doesn’t kick in

Folks, what are we doing? What is any of this for?

🤷‍♂️

Everything is a conspiracy if you’re really fucking stupid

Bull Connor-ass

This is how every other country imagines life in America

Read this infuriating thread

What so frustrating about Elon is that he just gets to have all this power despite being mentally and emotionally incapable of wielding it. Can’t we just beat him up and take his (lunch) money?

If you thought elaborately faking being good at videogames to impress a bunch of manchildren was embarrassing, consider elaborately faking that your mother loves you.

After the second season of Downton Abbey, when Branson eloped with Lady Sybil and moved back to Ireland, I wanted a spinoff called Branson P.I. where he's investigating murders in the midst of the Irish Civil War. (It works with the original radical Branson and not the neutered aristocrat.)

Can't help but be sad about how much fun a "THE WORLD IS HERE! LET'S CELEBRATE!" World Cup could've been. Viewing parties, food trucks, music, we could be having a fucking ball

Folks, ask your parents about Atlanta in the 70s

A plurality of Republicans, the manly party, think an obese octogenarian could kick their asses

Kinda funny that they turned a color photograph into black-and-white for this.

finally, perspective grid knowledge will be useful irl

oh, you think there won’t be midterms? that’s cute. i know there will be and we’ll win them big. i’ve already moved on to dooming about 2030

Even in his fantasies he's a manlet

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

The easiest way to get the US government to redirect some of its resources away from the military would be to contract Lockheed to build trains and windmills instead of jets and bombs.

Seeing how often an LLM that is told “Never hallucinate or make anything up.” hallucinates vs. one not told that would actually be an interesting, testable question.

I tapped out of the MCU at Civil War. That movie was so bad and yet everyone treated it like some sort of masterpiece of the genre.

Kill this bill like it's Miles Dyson

This is the Bavarian folk art of Teufelblowen, where the oldest man in the village performs simulated fellatio on an instrument meant to represent Satan’s penis. The sounds it makes are the appeased moans of a satisfied devil.

i found it incredibly painful to hear tucker carlson repeatedly invoke the legacy of Occupy Wall St and talk about the oppressive burden of debt on the nyt podcast yesterday. the fact that this space is even available for him to, well, occupy is such an indictment of a the democratic party.

Hey guys it’s RFK Jr. vs. the Hantavirus.
