I propose that, when the urbanists win and we rip out Storrow Drive to make more parkland on the banks of the Charles, we have a festival every Labor Day where we gather to ritually sacrifice a box truck on what was once Storrow.

if trump had balls he’d give us this instead of stupid battleship

fuck :(

If there's one thing I hate to taste, it's my own medicine. Of all the things I want taste, my own medicine ranks dead last. I'd taste any medicine you threw at me unless it's my own. I hate it when my friends are tasting my medicine and they're like "oh this is so good you should try some"—fuck off

guy who just learned it's not polite to call an artist's work "content": hey man it's cool to meet you i'm a huge fan of your slop

beating a dead horse but part of what makes art both worthwhile to the creator of it and interesting to the beholder is that you can’t actually beam ideas from your head into exactly what you imagined that way when you make it yourself, and the left turns and fingerprints are all part of it

Coming across anything fun online now comes with a necessary pause for a call up to the booth for review. Like waiting to find out if it was a catch or not in the NFL. We are robbed of spontaneous delight.

it is funny when someone admonishingly says "You gotta pick your battles" in response to people picking their battles

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

incredible stuff over at r/ididnthaveeggs It’s a eggnog recipe

well if they won't then I will

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been identified as the man who disarmed one of the Sydney attackers. Ahmed was shot by the second shooter, who was firing from a bridge. He suffered 2 gunshot wounds and is undergoing surgery.

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

online gambling is essentially legal and open money fixing and laundering at this point

when the server delivers breadsticks to the table

whenever I play a JRPG, I'm always asking myself... does it have... you know.. that je re pais guoi?

so insanely fucking real for this

I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...

So this video is perfect and you should watch all of it but if you truly do not care about Christmas lights please skip to here (22 minutes in) for commentary on lighting in the LED age that pretty much every sighted person would benefit from consuming.

This article sent me down a rabbit hole about the history of payola, which led to me finding this incredible gem on Wikipedia that encapsulates so much about the modern internet

has anyone else noticed that food tasted better in the past? it was mushy and easy to eat. and the spoon would come at you like an airplane

i was just talking with a friend about how the recent era of YA slop began as people started trying to capitalize on the hunger games audience but the only thing they got from it was "girl with bow cool", quite literally the gundam meme

once again the year in music has been dominated by this video of Takenobu Mitsuyoshi singing the Daytona USA theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J9f...

FYI the whole point of Fox News is to reinforce the message in the video below

it’s impossible to make your own pasta from scratch at home. no one has ever done it

Best thing to come out of this Eagles/Cowboys game are these images of Jake Elliott on the sidelines

Happy 13th anniversary to perhaps the funniest NFL play of all time: The Buttfumble

What To Know About ‘Pluribus’ https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-pluribus/

Great episode that has lodged in my brain the idea that Harari is just Joe Rogan for people who want feel smart instead of feeling like they’re funny

This chart is really really cool - seeing the whole range really makes the numbers feel more intuitive and match up with the experience of watching these guys play

The video doesn’t make this point but a lot of these same points help explain why AI-generated video can often feel “fake” when trying to use it in a more cinematic way

“Sir, it seems Olivia Nuzzi had an affair with a second old man who was running for president”

Warhammer 401k - is this anything?

Ryan Coogler said part of his influence for making Sinners was a childhood love for the Disney movie “Luck of the Irish” and let me tell you…he is so real for that.

1. I attain sufficient wealth to purchase Wizards of the Coast from Hasbro 2. I appoint myself Boss of Rules and Gameplay for MTG Arena 3. the rule "you can't search your library if there's more than 60 cards in it" is immediately implemented, designated irrevocable 4. nations of the earth rejoice

The weirdest thing about this discourse is that states with shorter school closures have the same amount of learning loss! I keep waiting for all the punditry on this to catch up with basic facts

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

[Exit Clown.]

nowadays every app wants to be a platform, and platform logic requires that they become the *only* platform. that's why they all start as Specific: The Tool That Does A Thing and five years later announce they're rebranding as Totalizr: We Manage Your Life

After some reflection I think that this was an incredible postseason filled with drama and excitement. We’re very lucky to watch guys like Ohtani play, and baseball might be as good as it’s ever been. Also god exists and hates the Toronto Blue Jays

i lived an entire lifetime in this reality and it was beautiful, my grandkids were at my side at the end, then i blinked and it was gone, but i have no regrets

Reminds me of one of my favorite posts

occasionally I read a wikipedia entry that is so baldly self-promotional that I wonder how it came to be
