It's not a pullup if: 1. Your feet are firmly planted on the ground when you start; 2. You can't even get your forehead over the bar.

Call the pullup a child because he just murdered it

The campaign to primary Tim Kaine began when he voted to end the shutdown at the expense of so many US workers.

Trump Jr warns US could abandon everything it stands for because his dad is senile & no longer in control of the executive branch ahead of London talks.

Discworld QOTD, from A Hat Full of Sky “I am no’ deid! I’m trying to have a moment o’ existential dreed here, right? Crivens, it’s a puir lookout if a man cannae feel the chilly winds o’ Fate lashing aroound his nethers wi’out folks telling him he’s deid, eh?”

The enemy of my enemy is nothing more than that. Whether or not I can form a short term alliance with them under very specific questions is a secondary question that does not change whether or not they're also my enemy in the long term. Which, I know, was Martin's point, don't dogpile him.

Never forget: MTG is a terrible human being who you should never support.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks. They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Sex workers have been saying this would happen for literally YEARS. We've been yelling it as loud as we could. What would the world look like if we were actually listened to?

Crap,my most recent Austrian ancestors left in the 1910s, what can I do to get a non-US passport?

The problem with "The Walking Dead" as a TV show was people mistaking it for good TV, instead of mid, at best.

An even better example: 1924-1932. The '24 convention split over whether to endorse the Klsn or not. Largely pro-temperance and nativist. By 1932, the left had lots of power in the party at thy highest levels.

What the hell universe is Stephen Miller living in? At what point in US history has there ever been "unlimited welfare for life" for anyone? I know that's not the biggest thing wrong about Miller's worldview, but the fact that he can't even get such minute details right is telling in its own right

*Yet*. He didn't kill anybody *yet*.

Given that changing people is nearly impossible, the proper question is "how do we organize society around how & who people actually are?" Don't imagine worlds where people aren't self-serving, design worlds where self-service sustains the public good.

🎯

part of it is that they hate women, part of it is that they hate her specifically because they think she should want to fuck them, part of it is that all this shit is for the benefit of like 10K people on twitter who've all been legally prohibited from having unsupervised time with their children

And if you play your cards right, get the right credentials & work experience, you can end up looking at your boss, his boss, and that person's boss too, and just go "I fucking dare you to fire me, go on, do it". That's when you know you've arrived in your career path.

Inflation is real & I know $13.50 is not enough for an hourly wage in most of the US anymore, but damn do I wish I was making even half that when I was working at the farmer's co-op.

My boys had the fucking cajones to demand more food tonight. Which is really impressive, as they were both neutered when they were kittens.

QTP with your favorite Jedi! (Wrong answers always)

Counterpoint: they are adorable & I think one of my cats could drive one. (Dear Carrot, these will get people killed if any of them actually sell here in the "more bigger rah!" US market)

Discworld QOTD, from Eric "Hell, it has been suggested, is other people. This has always come as a bit of a surprise to many demons, who had always thought that hell was sticking sharp things into people and pushing them into lakes of blood and so on."

No one: My cat at 2 a.m.: I bet I can jump through the Christmas tree

Never change, NYT.

When Stephen Miller's graduating high school class was asked to vote for "least likely person to win any vote ever", they picked Johnathan Smith, because *even for this* they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Stephen Miller. Prove me wrong.

Look, a lot of the political & talking heads (particularly on cable) appear to just be a bunch of entitled brats from well-off families engaged in insecstuous gossip mongering. Obviously, "not all", but definitely a lot of those working at the most well known outlets, regardless of format.

You know what, I love my state. Fuck around & find out, GOP. And SCOTUS, try to split that hair.

U.S. expands investigation into Waymo over robotaxis driving around stopped school buses.

Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies. Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market. This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵

The Romans were right. Don't leave your inheritance in the hands of an idiot who kills John Wick's dog. Leave it to your adopted champion who has previously proven themselves on the battlefield! youtu.be/ppaAlDxFVk0?...

Specifically, the 2005 Doom movie starring Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson as the final boss. Because I need to see Samus take out genetic mutant Dwayne Johnson.

I'm getting sick of the fact that if I want to tell Youtube I'm "not interested in a video", I have to tell them I either "don't like the content" or "I've already watched this video". Why can't I just not be interested in the video?! Why isn't the text of your prompt honest?

Are we in a game of chicken to see how far a handful of freaks can push things until we bring back consequences and / or guillotines? How have we hyper-normalized them saying this shit out loud in public?

John Konrad the fifth is guilty of treason, change my mind.

For every presuppositionalist out there, I offer this to you for consideration: There are multiple sets of laws of logic. These sets of laws of logic are often mutually exclusive & contradictory with each other. Which set of laws of logic are you presupposing & why that set?

Or put different, he’s pardoning people at SEVENTY FIVE TIMES the annual rate of the Biden presidency

So am I.

Pete Hegseth must be investigated, removed and criminally charged.

Not joking: has one reporter responded to his preposterous Sgt Schultz “I know nothing” schtick by immediately asking: * Doesn’t this level of ignorance disqualify you as speaker? * Do you really think we are so dumb to believe you? * Do you think it is appropriate to insult the voters like this?

If you take the time to think about it, the "maximally great being" is, necessarily, the most pathetically mediocre being. Consider the trade-offs entailed between being maximally flexible & maximally rigid. To simultaneously maximize both traits, you have to suck at both traits.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Maths are a subset of logic. Logic is a set of systems of analyzing ideas or observations and contain mutually contradictory assumptions depending on which system of logic you are currently employing. Therefore, neither logic nor math exist on some fundamental level, they are languages we invent.

If *Bill Kristol* is encouraging people to impeach a GOP admin guy, you know it's winning politics. Because think about the 90% of Americans to his left.

The architects are safe.

Autoplay is terribly design theory, prove me wrong.

Rooke numbers... check your accounts no more often than once a month.

@microsoft.com just attempted to convince me that a normal Windows update was happening that would forcibly install Windows 11 onto my system despite the fact that no one wants Windows 11. That is some seriously deceptive work practices & in a genuine society would result in anti-trust litigation.
