Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Just got a cheeseburger and tiramisu at the McDonalds in Milan where they hung Mussolini, AMA trueadventurestories.com/2020/09/24/m...

NEW: The NYT said that the AI-powered GLP-1 middleman startup Medvi — which is reportedly on track to do $1.8b in sales — cleaned up its act after taking deceptive marketing "shortcuts." But it didn't. More on: fake Medvi clients, fake doctors, and an FDA warning... futurism.com/artificial-i...

Neil Gorsuch, most cases: In the case of Protester vs. Tank, I find the protester's family liable for stain damage to the treads Neil Gorsuch, in any case involving Native American law:

April Fools ended for me in 2009 when Symantec Anti-virus was doing a homepage takeover of Gizmodo, who decided their prank would be "making it seem like Gizmodo got hacked." Symantec didn't see the humor in anti-virus ads sponsoring a hacked site. web.archive.org/web/20090402...

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

honestly put him on mt rushmore

BuzzFeed dying after chasing profits into a sinkhole vs. Gawker getting killed for challenging entrenched power is the perfect conclusion to the 2010s content philosophy wars.

6) that it is a total coincidence that the two outlets with the best Epstein coverage - Gawker and @miamiherald.com - were subsequently sued into oblivion by Peter #Thiel or taken over by private equity;

My home uses heating oil, which gets delivered by a company I am at constant war with. I'm also deeply reliant on them. A month ago a gallon was $3.80. Anticipating a spike (and rejecting their price lock after our last argument), I placed a market rate order this past Monday at $4.26.

I will cop to using Gemini to make this even though I could have totally made it myself (though honestly credit where it's due, it came up with Fly Farts all by itself and somehow knew to keep party poker exactly the same)

The kneejerk reaction to say we *should* keep kids out of corners of the internet is one I understand, but this isn’t the way. We’ve seen this in the gaming space. Parents need to monitor their kids’ online habits, not politicians, and certainly not AI. Parent your damn kids.

Highlight so far is this MPD officer stopping his patrol of the USIP building to grab a cooke and saying to himself, "When in Rome, man."

This reminds me, I haven't watched Ren and Stimpy in forever

Damn!!!!!!! Watch til the end

Now look is it possible this is some of that conspiracy bait evidence planted by the administration to place blame on the Russians or a different mob? Sure. I guess. Does that really matter though? Somebody subpeona this guy and let's find out!

Ashleigh Banfield indeed "looking for love in all the wrong places."

Gotta give him credit for this one, the branding is on point.

Counterpoint: We got to this point by looking away from state sanctioned violent impunity, the only reason we're seeing the levels of outrage we're seeing now is because enough people are seeing the horror. Nobody should be traumatized by autoplay but nobody should be executed for resisting either

When humans do this we call it "smoking"

I will be joining Denver in a moment!

You know if we just stopped doing anything work related until our Congress impeached him (for either the improper use of military force, or the pedophilia protection, or the bribes, or literally any of the other high crimes he's committed just this week) this would all end in like a 3 week span.

A scepter snatch’d with an unruly hand Must be as boisterously maintain’d as gain’d; And he that stands upon a slipp’ry place Makes nice of no vild hold to stay him up

I think convicting a drug slinging Bolshevik in NYC these days is gonna be harder than they think

Because the world can seem dark and desperate these days, I do appreciate the temporary reminder that love is not something you generally fall neatly into. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/26/s...

Frankly, I have always wondered why more campaigns didn't do this. Constituent services are such an important part of good politics.

Lol @vanityfair.com changed their newsletter to be from the new guy who nobody knows or recognizes or cares about and now their emails go to spam.

The audio of the ATC is pretty shocking. Kudos to the Jetblue pilot for staying calm and professional, but our commercial pilots shouldn't have to dodge invisible US airforce jets. youtu.be/KlIM2CMDuOA?...

You are infinitely closer to struggling than you ever will be to billionaires

Oh yeah I forgot we have half a decade of perfect call transcripts to sort through. Let's release those too while we're raiding archives.

Explaining to my family how I kinda wound up in the Epstein files is gonna be a blast next Thursday, I'm not being sarcastic this is gonna top the year I made the whole family play HQ.

Legit thought this was an Onion headline.

@harvard.edu would be easy for u to confirm or refute this as he appears to have done it from his official Harvard email account If so, seems worth doing a review to see what else blatantly illegal might be in there

How's this for a hot take from a straight attractive guy: I could write an entire series about how media's original sin was prioritizing the visual appeal of subjects and experts over their ability to produce anything of value. Miller is a former R who shouldn't be lecturing the left on hotness.

Ok we've released the files, can we dismantle the oligarchy now or were we just looking to go through a pedophile's inbox for the lols?

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

If this man is not in jail by next summer I will rent the biggest booth at the Martha's Vineyard farmer's market and exclusively sell framed copies of this email.

As someone who is one of the better ones at making money on the internet for journos, I'm becoming increasingly convinced that worker collectives are the only long term sustainable form of independent journalism. It will not make anyone a billionaire, but you can make more than you spend.

it's a hell of an act -- what do you call it

This is a great course taught by the original blogger-turned-columnist, highly recommended for anyone (writers and non-writers) looking to get their expertise out in the world.

Actually curious to see how this plays out. The far left is expecting another Obama, high on the hope and change rhetoric, fairly moderate in governance, still very much tethered to the capitalist order and ultimately a disappointment to card carrying socialists. He stands to disappoint someone here

We should never talk about billionaires without mentioning that they are dangerous money hoarders ever again.

Anyway, here’s what’s wrong with the stupid ballroom: www.elizabethspiers.com/donald-trump...

If Toronto wins the World Series the rule is America becomes Canada, nobody knows this because the last time it happened Canada beat Philadelphia, and Clinton was like "double or nothing" which they wisely agreed to, but now we're here (like most Clinton era policies, it felt prudent at the time).

First thing, Tulane’s a very competitive school so congrats to the monkeys for getting in there in the first place.
