I always think about this conversation on watching the game while driving, "I've got the transparency set at 5%" youtu.be/bMVz-hJ7J-c?...

Had a dream where I was hosting a party and a guest I didn't know asked, in a hushed, urgent tone, if they could take a bath.

Such a shame the House of Lords is losing this perspective

And he asked his wise men for a saying which would be true and appropriate in all times and situations.

For some reason I find this segue absolutely hilarious famousandbeloved.substack.com/p/the-indust...

This would be bad however good it was but it's striking how much better the Washington Capitals version of this was 15 years ago, very low minor league, maybe non-professional production quality

A grandchild of immigrants, born in Maryland, turning down more money from an underdog to play for the overest of dogs, adopting the not actually real Texas culture of Texas, well, unfortunately, that's perfectly America right now

I don’t think this is particularly likely, but if Trump nuked a target in Iran, what do we think would happen in the US

Heard from a friend, "everything we thought were laws were norms- international edition"

Also this sort of thing started World War I - so, no, this kind of thing doesn't always just stick to elites

Very confused by N6735M, which is just circling central Brooklyn at a low altitude www.flightradar24.com/N6735M/3e89c...

For people who still care about this sort of thing, here's James Madison writing from 1793 (6 years after the delegates in Philadelphia signed the Constitution) about why the power to make war was vested in the legislature. press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/doc...

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Someone should make a mid brow crime thriller about a banker getting pulled into the world of organized crime titled "Know Your Customer"

In the worst case it won't be feudalism. In feudalism you needed people.

Wailing and Lamentations and also Boisterous Cheering from all parties in my household as we discover three episodes of Paradise are out, not just one

this is pretty great www.cleardarksky.com/maps/lp/larg...

When I see new movies I tend to, even if I like them, find them very much products of their time in the way they are written and shot. I did not think that at all about Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. Recommend in theatres if you can.

I wouldn't say the Verge is usually my favorite publication but what a great policy (and wouldn't you think a crisis communicator would have a list of which publications had policies like that?)

Have said this before but Norway is one of those places where you see that there’s a difference between having a market economy and having a market society.

Maddening genre of writing about AI which blithely describes the conditions that to a civil war that killed one person in ten in China and proceeds on the basis that it would be less politically disruptive than deindustrialisation in the UK in the 1980s was.

This would be the worst calamity to hit the American economy since 1929!! It's very weird that it is never treated as such!

If we assume the big if, that this really does work, I don't understand why we'd smash the tool instead of reallocating where the surplus earnings go.

Manager: "Team, Star Trek: Voyager - Across The Unknown is out today. How should we promote it?" Marketer 1: "Explore the galaxy!" Marketer 2: "Space combat!" Marketer 3: "Make sure the player knows they can decide to kill Tuvix. Every time you replay the game, another Tuvix kill."

50 years is a very funny cut off for books that no one can possibly understand. 1976 is the year Interview With a Vampire came out lol

This is pretty great www.cartercenter.org/news/guinea-...

I think of myself as someone who knows a lot about television. There was TV adaptation of Get Shorty. It was on for three seasons. I have never heard of it.

Guess the publication! Guess!

"o you are in a darts league? I'm in an archery league. To me you just have tiny little arrows." Not a joke or an invented dialogue, a thing I literally just overheard.

Semu Liu the Dennis Rodman of actors (positive)

It really is remarkable the extent to which the news is impacting institutions that are usually not great. The current US administration is an outlier.

Roughly five hours after Donald Kinsella was appointed by a panel of federal judges to serve as interim U.S. Attorney for NY's Northern District, he was canned via an email from an assistant in the White House personnel office. Brendan Lyons reports.

just saw this on a map for the first time en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastik...

"He'd bring food to Italy" is a pretty good insult, and true of the VP

The library of ancient magic, nazi memorabilia, moon stuff and bible things is clearly not owned by General Dynamics, it's in a building they lease space in that's owned by the creator of UUNET. If you understood the foregoing, I'm sorry.

All my years watching tv with subtitles on never seen this

According to the second headline, shouldn't the first headline read something like "...hinge on restoring the rule of law"

A) gonna be super cool to see the director of Top Gun: Maverick do a tic tac scene B) In a large sense, nope, this is not gonna be good for anyone

I have the peacock Olympic ceremony red carpet stream on in the background and it's one of the most tremendously awkward things I've seen. You can watch (and hear!) people drinking champagne who have no idea they are on the internet I think.

I keep seeing this Kalshi ad, all the old men are betting Christopher Columbus gets lost, a brave young man gets up and wagers that Columbus will complete his voyage. Is the irony there around bet terms possibly intentional?

I found her fascinating in her appearance on Odd Lots last year. I think from the outside you can credit her with the commissioner still being around (whether that's good or bad). It seems very odd to want to pick fights with a guy who just defeated a full court press.

Much more important in world but Knight of the Seven Kingdoms as good as early Game of Thrones (different, more comic).

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Some better guys

If this has come out 5 years ago Josh Harris runs Apollo and doesn't own the Washington Commanders?
