This is the first moment where I'd say Mamdani's focus on online and in-the-moment commentary has really let him down. DOGE is going to be a years-long scandal and fuckup, its mention of the word efficiency was a travesty, why would you riff off that?

"Remember Elon Musk's failed endeavor that killed millions of people while ballooning the debt? We're gonna do that in New York City!" I am honestly stunned that no one on Mamdani's team realized how awful COGE sounds. Just brutal. If we lose him to AI... I don't like these buzzwords.

I would like AOC to run for three reasons: 1. I think the D candidate in 2028 is strongly favored to win regardless of who it is 2. We need to elect someone who understands the moment and is committed to a new reconstruction 3. Of all plausible candidates I am most convinced AOC meets that bar

Lol got banned from X, the Everything App for "inauthentic behavior" 🥴

We SOLD OUT our initial screening at our LA premiere but they just added a second!!! I'll see you Saturday June 27th 🔥🔥🔥 danceswithfilms.com/2026-again-again/

Anyone who was paying attention in the 1980s and 90s remembers this playbook, and how it’s called Ruby Ridge, The Montana Freemen, Waco, and Oklahoma City. As well as a spate of robberies, assassinations, and intimate partner terrorism that ended in family annihilations and got very little press.

Has your “city” made walking dangerous and illegal too?

Anytime the Alt National Park Service links to courtlistener.com, it means that they saw the news somewhere else, and they're linking to court docs directly to avoid giving credit where it's due.

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

When I say I won’t read your Substack this is what I mean:

" It's only online you end up screaming & shouting & being attacked by them. In real life, you have a chat, & we all kind of sigh & put up with each other."

capital weather gang going independent from the washington post... new york times puzzle team take note

look at him. he doesn't even have any money

"stop dressing like a teenager you're an adult" I didn't get to be a cringe hot topic girl when I was a teenager, I'm sure as hell not going to give up the opportunity to do so now ✌️

The genocide of Indigenous people in Canada never stopped. It's an ongoing process that we need to dismantle. www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

im bucking the trend by being the most boring trans woman ever

Modeling for Methalox explosions really not fully understood. This *should* cause reevaluations of Starship's Texas pad and RocketLabs proposed site in Virginia. It looks really bad, that is a large envelope and pressure wave

the gaza genocide never ended, they just declared a ceasefire, the world's governments said "ok," and israel went right back to mass-slaughtering palestinians like nothing happened

This dumbass website is going to give me more strikes if I say what everyone even tangentially connected to ICE and the prison industrial complex deserves.

Past time to boycott. Johnson is right - the Times is *uniquely propagandistic* and harmful at scale in ways we’re all paying for now. Boycott is the bare minimum. citationsneeded.libsyn.com/news-brief-t...

5 degrees of margin. Our bodies run at 37. We die when we hit 42. Sweat stops cooling us when the temp is 80% humidity and 33 degrees. Sweat is how we thermoregulate. We have tens of degrees of margin with cold, but we die of heat quickly. Heat is an emergency. Watch out for the fragile.

Sometimes I wonder if I actually did die and went to hell.

I knew it was gonna be a tough week, but this absolute armpit weather is making it six times harder. Yearly reminder that many if not most SSRIs, blood pressure meds, ADHD meds, and more lead to heat intolerance. Don’t forget to check, and if that’s you, make every effort to stay cool!

The event hareizon emits Hawking hay-diation! Usually no bunformation escapes 'cos of the massive rabbitational field, but buntum effects allow it. That field causes the red shift like a spacethyme hoppler effect. Bunifold theory affects all inside, including that subject to quantum carrotdynamics

counterpoint no i’m not

I'm not sure people get that Bezos' wealth increases by at least $10 million every HOUR

I'd really like to see something written outside tech enthusiast blogs acknowledging the april 2026 local LLMs and whether they affect the calculation on data center expenditure, where suddenly a $1500-4000 macbook can run a 26B parameter model that's... 80%? as good at coding as the frontier model

I got curious about this quote, so I looked it up. It's a paraphrase. Here's the original: "When I see an actual flesh-and-blood worker in conflict with his natural enemy, the policeman, I do not have to ask myself which side I am on." —George Orwell, Homage to Catalonia.

Americans actually don't have gender at all. They just have a system of Big Truck Driver and Big Truck Passenger, where the Driver attracts a Passenger by showing off his ability to provide plentiful gasoline, and in return the Passenger raises children.

If anything, Kris is likely the USAmerican third-sex known as a "gender ideology pronouns drag queen story hour", a hard-to-translate concept that basically refers to a kind of celibate priest class

It's also worth remembering the statistics for autistic kids are even more staggering. According to one study out of Columbia, autistic kids are 160 times more likely to die from drowning as their peers (in large part due to wandering and being drawn to water). Swim lessons can be life-saving.

Non-binary person whose pronouns are specifically he/her/theirs

Hill I will die on Vaccinations should be mandatory for everyone, unless medically contraindicated and there should be consequences for any parent engaging in medical neglect and criminal consequences when that neglect maims or kills their children

“Getting Capone for tax evasion” coming to mean getting a real criminal for something comparatively small ball is funny to me since the kind to tax crime he was prosecuted for was a huge deal, and it was based on millions worth of illegal crime empire money

I love telling people I love them, but I REALLY love telling people I like them. I love a lot. I love for no reason. I love with wild abandon...and I have absolutely loved, and still love, some people that I do not like. If I like you? I consider that a pretty big deal.

*Sighs and taps the sign.*

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

every frozen pizza oven i put in my toaster oven has dont cook this in a toaster oven written on the box. you dont get to decide that

*good*

I think this is the meanest I've seen Carrot get so far (I'm halfway through the fifth elephant) and I'd say it pretty damn well qualifies as bastardry.

Oh Carrot is also a bastard. Worst kind. He is a bastard who will absolutely and totally follow the rules. He'll bring you the forms and be so helpful to you in filing your taxes and he'll be so nice that you won't even be able to hate him. Bastard.
