The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is an echo chamber. Good luck finding nuanced debates about hot button issues on that touch screen. It’s just soda names and flavored syrups

This is the most intense-sounding restaurant rewards program I've ever joined:

Honestly, if my choices are a "bubble" or an algorithmic rage-machine designed to make me constantly miserable, I'll choose bubble every time.

So, we have no fucking clue if there's any deal with Iran or what the actual terms are, right? (as usual)

Sign at Little League field in Munster, IN -- good reminder to the parents.

I will challenge President Trump any day, any time to doing math problems in our heads, and if I lose I'll take medical advice from RFK, Jr.

Maybe we should hold the richest man in the world -- a serial con-artist who's about to run off with a chunk of your 401K -- to literally any standard whatsoever.

Random Star Trek title generator was honestly the most fun I've had on social media in quite a while.

Imagine a world where this is controversial ... oh wait, we don't have to imagine.

It's Friday night, and I'm not sorry ...

Love a good Janeway episode

Squirrely Joe found a grape and is so happy right now.

Even if you lived this event, watch it again and let it sink in just how far the bar has dropped. The "scream" wasn't the only thing that sunk Howard Dean to be sure (IIRC, there was a pretty bitter divide in the DNC), but this is high decorum by 2026 standards -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6i-...

"Double-standard" is no longer an adequate way to describe how the media treats Trump vs. how they treated every other POTUS in my lifetime.

Too real ...

It's one thing to point at one policy and say "This policy is good," but the idea that Trump is more mature and more disciplined or has a lot of good ideas isn't just a political one -- it suggests a profound divorce from reality or sanity.

I'm no military genius, but why would we build a White House ballroom for enemy snipers? Also, this is batshit.

Spammers *really* want to buy the land in Door County that I don't own. Not that I'd mind -- it's nice up there.

The way things are going, 15 cups of coffee.

The thing they fear most about Mamdani is that he might succeed and show people they have alternatives.

Is this particular talking point resonating with anyone?

Trump is calling reporters who question the Iran war traitors, but glad the NYT is on the case of people who eat breakfast tacos for lunch.

My brain has decided to write an 80s action anthem to avoid work, and I need to share this: "If you never stop, then you'll never lose, 'Cause the fight will never end. But that also means that you'll never win, So it's pa-ra-dox-ic-al ..." You really gotta stress the syllables of "paradoxical."

The Six Genders are: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy.

Google just put out its first official article on optimizing for AI search (AEO/GEO)! TL;DR: ⭐️ SEO is still the foundation for AI search. ⭐️ Create non-commodity, "people-first" content. ⭐️ Ignore most "GEO/AEO hacks like chunking and llms.txt. developers.google.com/search/docs/...

Yes, it's definitely the windmills that imperil Starmer, and not the corruption.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

How many Americans could disappear from work for 2 months and not even tell their employer (in this case, taxpayers) when they're returning? I support medical leave, but the bare minimum is communicating a timeline with constituents and other members of Congress.

Boosting this one ...

Googling "oil prices" twice a day is really not doing anything for my sanity, or telling me anything at all about oil prices.

Republicans in Congress can only talk to their constituents via Newsmax interviews, but the real problem is the Bluesky liberal bubble.

"We're fucking over everyone else more than ourselves" is basically the Trump credo at this point.

I think "BOGO 50% off" should be illegal. Next, it'll be "BOGO*" and then you have to read the details in a footnote. Petition that they should have to change it to "BOGH" (Buy One, Get Half).

Me: "Song is good. Me like song." Audiophiles ...

"Solar doesn't work when the sun don't shine, durr hurr!" Yeah, buddy, and oil doesn't work when it's stuck on a ship for two months because you started a stupid fucking war.

Every third text I get is like "Hi, this is Claire in East Dakota. Do you have any interest in selling your castle on 666 Fartbiscuit Lane?"

I gave a sneaking suspicion my 13-yo was playing badminton in the driveway. No reason, just a hunch ...

You may have heard that the S&P is looking to fast-track SpaceX. You may not have heard that this is being included under a "MegaCap" proposal and that proposal is open to public commentary. As an investor, you can create a login and comment here: spglobal.com/spdji/en/governance/consultations/

This sums up so much ...

I'm sure whatever is afflicting Trump this week will definitely improve after a flight to China and jet-lag.

I think the President of the United States should be able to think about 2 or more things.

Trump's said more unhinged things in the past two days of public appearances than most Presidents do in a 4-year term. His Iran delusions are crashing into reality, and he's starting to crack.

MozCon London pitches are now open. Shoot your shot https://mz.cm/49xfAN2

It may not be the worst example, but it's maddening how "Sleepy Joe" caught on -- even in MSM -- based on zero actual grounding in reality, while Trump can doze for 30 seconds at a time in recorded, public appearances, and we have to debate about whether he was blinking.

LEGO Minas Tirith? In this economy?! That's not even a joke.

Good summary of just how bad Trump has been for farmers, especially in the Midwest -- www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-farm...

Imagine if Barack Obama, while hosting an event for law enforcement officials, had referred to the White House as a "shit house."

How long until Trump sleeps through 60 consecutive seconds of a press conference and everyone pretends he didn't? Before November, I'm guessing. 3 minutes? 5 minutes?
