Google was once so good it became a verb and now is at best an inconvenience

Every day brings a new set of headlines that if you'd predicted them in October 2024, you'd have been diagnosed with a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

one of my favorite facts about the US coal industry is that it employs less people than Broadway

Winston. Old money

The most principled figure in American politics: a retiring Republican Senator thinking about their book deal

Good breakdown of the background and bottom line: "If you paid 2023 federal income taxes in the state of Connecticut, $3 out of every $100 you paid is now set aside for reimbursing people who a committee of people allied with the president decide were treated unfairly by government actions."

I genuinely struggle to understand what these people think is going on

turns out it was a bit of a whoopsie to focus on low level j6 rioters rather than throwing the ring leaders in jail immediately and tossing the keys. oh well, better luck next time!

Bill Clinton used to have to walk across the street to use a private telephone to make fundraising calls so as not to violate the Hatch Act by using public resources for partisan purposes. Trump makes campaign commercials from behind the Resolute desk.

Shake it, baby! 🐢

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

You cannot sue yourself, settle with yourself, and then write yourself a check from the Treasury. Donald Trump is trying to do exactly that. Welcome to Episode 15 of the Corruption Chronicles.

I am usually pro-labor but the LIRR strike is absurd they are already the best paid agency in the country and have tons of extremely generous benefits like 2x wages for working on 2 trains. and now they’re refusing a 4% raise? LIRR union is a perfect example of why US transit is so inefficient

Hey everybody! Fluffy and I are going hiking in the great Smoky Mountains on vacation. Anybody want to come? Don’t forget your backpack and a water bottle. #caturday

Downloaded Little Snitch to get a better look at my outgoing traffic and maybe manage it more carefully, only to discover Adobe has 5–10 processes constantly pinging servers every 2–3 seconds, even when every Adobe app appears to be closed.

With data from the @nytimes.com API, I analyzed all national+local coverage since 2000—224,000 articles— to see which topics in each state get covered out of proportion to the rest of the country. A portrait of how the paper of record sees America, one state per tweet, alphabetical. 👇
