Is it typical for secret service to run street shut downs in sneakers, jeans and a tshirt with an empty plate carrier and rifles? I think one may have had a shot gun. I regret being too close to comfortably take a photo of the operation

The greatest trick Adderall ever pulled was convincing you that you don’t need more water

Any time I do even casual research into what daily life was like a couple centuries ago, I am reminded of just how absolutely grateful I am to be alive when I am.

Rockefeller Center is a fortress because King Charles is there. What do we think, NBC news interview or Jimmy Fallon?

I always find it deeply ironic that conservatives characterize socialism/communism as a jewish plot, while simultaneously ascribing all the evils of late stage capitalism to anti-semitic conspiracy tropes, a la the Rothschilds and George Soros.

So basically if big AI companies hadn’t advertised it as the torment nexus, we may not have responded as it they had created the torment nexus. Checks out.

Gonna break a long hiatus to just say, maybe we don’t need to keep the bad parts of older sites just because they invoke nostalgia

Every time I want to post on politics and the miserable state of the world, someone smarter than me has already said it better than I ever could. So I'll stick to talking about escapist bullshit. For the most part.

Regardless of whether their characters are lawful, given the chance, all players are pure chaos.

The average D&D party is 3 questions away from being confined to a memory care unit. Where are you? What are you doing? What day is it? “We asked then who their care giver was and they started listing off gibberish or pun names. Like asking us as if we need to tell them. Then they pulled a sword.”

Our next D&D session is in like 2 hours and I may have a problem. The party is going to fight a mad lich trying to summon an eldritch horror. At some point the offer will be made for the party to join them and accept the eldritch horror’s gift (undeath and ???).

Happy 2026. May this year not feel quite as long as 2025, which by all accounts felt like it was about a decade long.

It has been 13 months since I’ve kept to anything resembling a gym routine and wow am I feeling it trying to get back into it

Also maybe SUVs and Trucks shouldn’t have front blind spots as tall as a 5th grader.

This makes me think about how 20 years ago Ann Coulter was laundering South African white supremacist talk points with no pushback from the media. This year Trump pushed those exact same points. This feels like a natural progression for the generation born into and raised in that media environment

The one possible silver lining of the RAM shortage is that it may force game developers to stop putting together such bloated sloppy code. Like maybe every game doesn’t need to be 100GB and require blazing amounts of memory.

I got an opinion poll about the NY-12 primary and was so tempted to put don’t know/not familiar when they asked for my opinion of Mamdani

In my copious spare time I really need to relearn how to use a sewing machine. And find a place to keep it if I buy one

It took 11+ months for our kid to get sick with something that knocked out both me and my husband at the same time. And he hasn’t even started daycare yet. I can only imagine how parents manage before Tylenol and Pedialite

My husband recently discovered the Ezra Klein subreddit and keeps sending me excerpts. Not surprisingly about half the people on there who passionately defend Klein just really want to be able to say the N word without consequences

What I don’t see is much space if any for a plenum and things ductwork. If they fuck up the HVAC and this swampland ballroom is unbearable 9 months out of the year, it will be so incredibly funny.

I have done work in historical buildings. I’ve done work on government buildings. I have done projects where partial demolition of an existing building was done to permit an expansion. Not a one had demolition that looked like this.

Please, please no. I’m happy to have Harris build a retirement fund from her book tour and disappear from the public eye. But the latter needs to happen

Every A.I. CEO is like “We invented a robot that can fuck your wife so you have more free time to mow the lawn!”

Okay, but bear with me. What if we taxed rich people more to help out folks who barely make in a year what her outfit cost?

As a wise man once said, “it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.” I’m just relieved that cost wasn’t paid by school children this time.

This is just embarrassing

Told my husband he’s wondering and I love him so much. I don’t say that to him that nearly enough

So they might have been ICE?

Andrew Cuomo is on track to win Westchester County’s vote for New York City mayor by a landslide.

This is correct and true for all people. The “standard of social acceptability” is actually a very low bar to clear. The fact that some people complain about it just reflects on who they are, because it’s not hard to meet, they just don’t want to try.

Today’s friendly reminder that laws are arbitrary and subject to the whims of those who write them. Anyone can be made “illegal” if powers that be wish to do so. You see it today with mass revocations of otherwise valid visas in the US. You saw it in Germany in the 1930s.

Yep, she’s getting a pardon.

But somehow we never had the money to find enough teachers, nurses and doctors.

Large #ICEprotest, with little to no media coverage, in LA yesterday

Freedom. Now available for $49.99 exclusively at Trumpstore dot com

Isn’t that just taxes? But like worse since it’s revenue and not profits.

“Tonight’s meal is reverse vegan. Everything that looks like meat is meat. All the vegetables are also actually meat and anything that looks like a grain is cheese. The only thing that isn’t meat is the fiber supplement that will be served for dessert.”

It’s interesting to see the more and more frequent stories of people being driven to psychosis by a validation machine. Because it’s a pretty solid replication of what the uber-wealthy experience. But instead of an LLM, it’s lackeys paid to do basically the same thing

This makes me so mad...

I remember asking in 2016, 2020 and 2024 exactly what MAGA meant to Trump supporters. I’m finally starting to get a more clear answer.

Trump backer who pledged to 'fight against child trafficking' arrested on...... well, you know

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Like we even have regulation anymore. They’ll pay Trump a 1% fee and get it rubber stamped

I do wonder how many unintentional follows/unfollows I’ve done because I was in this app while dozing off late at night.

I’m thrilled to know Alyssa went back in time to stop Stalin from criminalizing homosexuality in the Soviet Union. In this timeline the worst thing he did was call some a degenerate one time. Phew what a relief

In an alternate reality where Paramount didn’t suck, they should announce DEI Trek and have the most insane trailer design to piss off MAGA. But then just release it as remastered episodes of TNG, DS9, Voy, etc

As a terminally online person, this caught me off guard and led to a moment if serious introspection. But then the feed refreshed and I got distracted by a dragon or some shit

The country just went through a decade long, bloody, brutal, multi-factional civil war. That’s the sort of thing it takes generations to recover from.
