my snobby former NYer take is there is no one best, it's the one little place in/near your neighborhood that just nails it my pragmatic take is joes on carmine

Love this future where everything is served up by five companies

This thread is exactly why I support @senadorajulie.bsky.social for US Senate over John Hickenlooper

Lmao

Partly this is also that concert tickets specifically have gotten OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive. I love some of these acts, but there are B- and C-tier k-pop acts out there, who *nobody other than k-pop fans have ever heard of,* with tickets starting at $200 a pop, plus travel costs.

When we were home for a family event, my 6yo was starting one of those meandering kid stories that goes nowhere, and began by saying: "this is a story all about how-" Millennials were popping out of every doorway: 🎵 My life got flipped turned upside down! 🎵 My child: 😲 What just happened??

On today’s episode of “$5 does help” we are handling a moral anomaly, which is to say we are paying off school lunch debt so some kids can finish out the school year. It’s not a ton, chip in at Venmo Linda-Tirado-3 or PayPal bootstrapindustries@ gmail. Cashapp: $lindatirado33 Internet tax:

On the other hand, if you’re suing a billionaire, start demanding their AI logs in discovery

I thought this was going to be about the Midge Game

Welp

Also consistent. 2008-07-08 I didn't even take it with this phone, or even a smart phone, but I transfer my old phone to my new phone (which is why I still have a bunch of midi ringtones.)

Walked to school in my Guardians jersey because my t-shirt looked slept in and I was not prepared for how many random parents would see it and ask me how to watch the Cavs game tonight. I know the owners don't care, but it's a sign of how frustrated people are.

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

I'll share both. Everyone loves to dunk on Wonder Bread, but it was one of the most successful public health initiatives in the 20th century. Really. www.chicagomag.com/city-life/ma...

It's basically like if you're trying to talk about streetcar safety and someone's barging in with BUT YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF ONE PERSON IS TIED TO ONE TRACK AND FIVE PEOPLE ARE-- No actually you don't need to worry about that! That's a thought exercise; it's not real!

A thing I really wish mainstream media would understand about AGI is that it's a play by post for absolute dweebs. If someone is talking to you about what AGI will do to/for humanity: that is a dweeb telling you about their GURPS campaign. It isn't news because it isn't real.

Special heads-up to any survivors out there who might still be following him by accident and who might not want his bullshit popping up on their feeds.

Good for the Tigers fans trying to drown out all the noise from the Cavs crowd who are still drunk from last night.

y tho? I mean, we know. It's so they can charge some people more. But I can't imagine how this won't backfire, as people forget how to order their usual, drive throughs slow down, and people start going elsewhere when shit just seems too complicated.

Men: did you know there's 10g of protein in reading books by women?

I'm not going to police your follows because blocking here doesn't immediately unfollow an account HOWEVER If you try to put Gaiman's shit in my timeline, we are going to have a BIG problem.

its only bribery if its unethical

T2: Is Williams bad or good? Me: Today he's pitching pretty well. T2: I mean is he a bad guy or a good guy? Me: You mean which team is he on? T2: Yeah. Me: Cleveland. T2: Ok, good.

I'm very tired of that. I never needed it and don't want it now. It doesn't mean skipping nuance. You can absolutely do a show that explores why vaccine hesitancy is a thing and do so in a respectful way, but that doesn't mean pretending that not getting a measles vaccine is a good thing.

One of the weird criticisms I see of The Pitt is that it's preachy, that it's too supportive of one position (vaccines are good, a "wild pregnancy" is dangerous nonsense), but for my part, few things irritate me more on TV than "let's present both sides of an issue."

our simulations show that many patients wouldn’t need medical care, if they were not sick

Bob shaped the sound of Cleveland baseball. "He worked in management at WWWE (now WTAM) in 1990 when an ambitious, young broadcaster named Tom Hamilton submitted a late application when the Indians were hiring a partner for Herb Score. ... 'That’s your guy. You have to hire him.'" #GuardsBall

Incubus

This guy needs to stick to guarding coasts.

Matt finally caught one.

I really like how MLB . TV hangs at every commercial break. Love paying all this money to keep having to find the keyboard and hit F5.

I’m also going to go a bit further — hope and anger aren’t opposed, they’re not even on a same emotional spectrum. Anger is the appropriate emotional response to INJUSTICE. And in terms of climate, we should be righteously furious about how much has been deliberately stolen & damaged.

Make that $50 short now, thanks!

This stuff will get worse if we continue to go with it so I'm game to lock arms. Plus, the orgs think it's all great: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Paraphrasing our local FOP leader’s non-apology for a clearly racist remark: “I regret that your racism makes you think that calling a Black lawyer for victims a ‘poverty pimp’ was racist.” If he wants ”peace,” he needs to start with a real apology.

Short thread but I 100% agree with it. Sexual harassment by a person in power shows that person is an abuser of power.

Everybody's a critic

It is painful to me every time I see a card catalogue for sale on marketplace because a) I can't afford it and b) they always label it as "cool cabinet with weird-size drawers!" Children, do you not know the deep magic? I was there when it was written!

Napoletana, Romana, Sicilian, Margherita, Brier Hill, Detroit-style.

Hi everyone, this Colorado family is in desperate need of help. The husband was taken (I believe illegally) in front of community members. ICE told lies about him. He is in detention and his family is suffering. www.gofundme.com/f/support-st...

This is awful. Jesus. These funds have saved people from getting evicted, fired, and losing custody of their kids. (Also, just to be clear, it doesn’t criminalize the funds’ existence, but it makes them subject to federal insurance regulations, which will effectively kill many of them.)

Correct. See also: “where are all the student protests?!” They’ve been surveilled, terrorized, arrested, evicted, kicked out, and stigmatized maybe?

Bad Bunny and the rest have been doing this and getting attacked all over the place for years now, y'all just don't care until the person doing it looks like the Boss

My student told me he ran his paper through an AI checker to see if it would get flagged even though he wrote it, and it offered to “humanize” his paper by changing the sentence, “Illicit cocaine use is responsible for many potential adverse cardiovascular events” to “Cocaine is a bad, bad drug”

There's a whole bunch of crimes that are basically just Not Having Your Shit Together. Getting arrested sometimes makes people decide to get their shit together, but a lot of times it makes things worse, or there isn't any ability to improve because the impediments are poverty and untreated illness.

Really, we should end cash bail for lower level crimes unless there's a flight risk. You don't miss your hearing for driving with a suspended license because you're trying to evade justice. You miss it because: 1. drunk 2. ride didn't show up 3. the most convoluted story ever, and it's all true

I keep thinking about how AI is the end result of Granny Weatherwax’s idea of sin meaning ”treating people as things” — it’s a thing they pretend is a person so they can justify treating all people as things.

What a fucking nightmare.

And every one of these Democrats knows this, but voted for it anyway because they don't care about criminalized poor people as much as they care about seeming tough on crime. But it stabs at me that Citizens United is "speech" but bail funds are "crime."

Evil and also harmful from even the pov of the most selfish person. Most people helped by bail funds are going to end up serving no or very little time in jail. They're going to keep being part of the community regardless. So do you think it helps anything if they get fired and/or evicted?
