The people who get the maddest about automated traffic enforcement are the ones who have benefited from this in the past and want to benefit from it in the future. What did you think the PBA stickers they send you to put in your window for your donation were supposed to do?

real heroes get statues

someone on NextDoor claimed owls in the neighborhood are carrying off cats and small dogs and my first thought was "coyotes have learned to type"

Siding with the Federalist Society's conservative takeover of the Supreme Court, to own the leftists

the GOAT. a masterful response.

please let me have this, like many of you who couldn’t express your desired gender as children, i grew up in a household where harry potter was considered satanic. when i came out as a ravenclaw at age 22, my parents disowned me.

They didn't get their slip added in time for the committee hearing, but the City of Chicago is officially opposed to legislation that would speed up the deployment of Transit Signal Priority for buses. Tells you all you need to know about how Brandon Johnson feels about bus riders!

I didn't realize how brutally debilitating my ADHD was until I was in my late 30s and got on medication that *partially* alleviated symptoms for about 8 hours a day. Living with this is a goddamn nightmare.

"They're stealing the public right of way" no they're not, they are using the public right of way just like every delivery driver. But they are also very cinematically showing how horrible our sidewalks are for wheelchair-sized rolling objects.

This is why all the best players always sign with the Bengals and Browns. Sorry libs!

our society continues to innovate on destroying labor and institutionalizing child abuse

I have thought for many years that Jacobin is the Christian rock of leftism, and Teen Jacobin is like holy shit these fuckin guys

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

"well maybe art can transcend-" philosophically yes, legally no, and jk rowling uses every cent she makes to be uk elon musk, and this is an official jk rowling tm product so yeah its not transcendental of anything

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

I’m at ICE HQ

the smug cynicism to roll this out after Joe Biden spent four years as president in obvious senility and decline (not to mention the campaign, where he was bailed out by Covid) is just wild

“Where is the deep state on this” is a fun joke to make but there is a serious response to it: Trumpism is what the American deep state always pushed for, and now they have it

bro no way

as an expert in the field, i knew based on the post title. this is a *classic* dysphoria cope heel turn case. absolutely wonderful to hear she's doing better. we're going to win.

Literally yesterday Mueller She Wrote had someone brigaded over a joke. I have her blocked but I'm gonna guess she faced no consequences whatsoever for this.

We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.

I mean I think the through line of this guy’s politics and worldview is that he’s deeply ashamed of being an academic nerd rather than a manly man and projects that onto everyone around him.

NEW: Chicago taxpayers have paid more than $1.76 million to defend the Chicago police officer who shot a 13-year-old boy in May 2022, leaving him permanently paralyzed, according to documents obtained by @wttw.bsky.social news.

💯 but this is not baked in. Justices were required to interact w/ the public by riding circuit where they oversaw jury trials w/out the help of law clerks until the late 19th c. Their DC courtroom was in the Capitol until 1935. The sequestration, acolytes, & temple-like building are modern creations

My grandma survived on mostly hostess products and TV dinners for years lmao

It's time to build, Illinois.

ITS TIME TO BUILD. MORE HOMES FOR ALL THE SOUTHERNERS WHO NEED TO FUCKING LEAVE. LETS GO.

Basically this:

Robotu-kun, how could you?!😭

Can we please never have another pundit declare that the Democrats need to do more to appeal to the working class

the most important thing the Indian govt ever did for India was run ppl like this out of town in the 60s and turn to Norman Borlaug

Oh man don’t derail the AI boom anything but that

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

Don’t buy a cow, or a car, and expect your city to give you someplace to park it. #UrbanTruth

YEP. YEP YEP YEP YEP. This is it 100% folks. Game dev is a long process and you'll have new ideas along the way that you just have to shelf and go "that's cool, maybe next game". The secret to making games efficiently is to make decisions early and be assertive about them. Then you make the game.

So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?

dang, the final lost MST3K episode was JUST found at a garage sale, and now it's on YouTube for all to enjoy. watch and be astounded that a 38-year-old VHS recording held up so nicely: youtu.be/u_Z4hnagGLE?...

Everything about Maine politics seems weird until you remember that Stephen King wrote all his characters that way because those were people he saw around town

"Don't use the slur against Jewish folks that was created by KKK Grand Wizard David Duke" is neoliberalism?

If only someone had warned us

Damn that gay boi could write

Paul should know because his neighbor challenged him to a duel and tuned him up

wdym nobody discusses it. a whole lot of us spend all day getting yelled at by bluechecks and what are probably dnc operatives (and just straight-up thralls) who love right-wing media as long as it's blue raspberry flavor
