I, uh… I see a potential downside to that. I mean I see several but mostly I’m not sure many ships are gonna want to irradiate themselves going through the Strait of Quannapowitt. (If you don’t remember every location in Fallout 4, switch the joke to Strait of Pripyat.)

The alternative, which has happened in quite a few special elections in the South, is to run on a broadly popular populist platform and flip some of the old school Republicans who actually believe in the policy parts of their pre-Trump platform instead of just the bigotry.

If oil companies won't obey the federal government's orders to begin drilling in California, I'm going to become an even bigger libertarian.

Mmm yes Mr. Kennedy! Weck that wittle baka twink UwU~ 💕✨ Pwease be vewy stwong for us 🥺👉👈

If your "Best Bay Area ice cream" list ignores East Bay legends like Fenton's, Loard's and Tucker's and instead gives love to nondairy $8 hipster scoops, maybe take a beat to think about what you're actually trying to accomplish.

I know some disagree but someone like Stephen Fry changing his mind and doing a complete 180 after supporting She Who Must Not Be Named, is a good thing and is evidence that attitudes are changing.

@alyankovic.bsky.social Total Eclipse of Paul Blart. Is that anything?

Again, "terrorists" just means brown people. While it's not ideal that Iran is shooting at cargo ships, the United States is blowing up tiny civilian boats and unlike with Iran it's not even in our territorial waters half the time.

I know it’s in the name at all that, but my potentially controversial take is that nobody on Southern Charm is even a little bit charming.

Kinda hoping this keeps getting worse until I can get a ticket to a World Cup game for $15 on Stubhub.

Why are we still reporting things as real without any evidence, after a decade of him lying pathologically at every opportunity?

Oh, so THIS is when Subterranea decides to activate their elevator and make contact? That's about right.

Comically, this (Metrics = death) is THE ENTIRE POINT of the new Post Games. It's live on the Patreon, but you should subscribe here and listen when it hits the free feeds on Monday. An existential ointment for the burns we get from touching the social media feed each day.

Everything is being corrupted by a single Silicon Valley belief: that for every question there's a correct answer. Life isn't meant to be enjoyed, but "won." Turn your food into nutrient paste, inject yourself with illegal proteins, and finish the marathon by taking a taxi.

At a fundamental level, Copilot's designers misunderstand why we play games. Games aren't meant to be endlessly optimized. They're an ongoing conversation between player and game. A third-party telling you the "right" way to do things undermines the entire point of play.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

DOGE was a huge win for the Effective Sociopathy movement

The thesis of this article is that "opposition to Israel is central to Mamdani's worldview" and the evidence is that he posted a single photo with Mahmoud Khalil

Hey guys, wanna see a snuff film?

the story i wrote about Dom Toretto getting TETSUO THE IRON MAN'd into his car and then absorbing his entire crew one by one is now part of the premise for a lawsuit

Can hardware stores start selling mineral oil again? Asking for every woodworker who doesn’t want to go through the CVS checkout line with a giant bottle that says “LIQUID LAXATIVE” in block letters.

So do rich people still think all Black women can cast voodoo spells or are racist Brits slowly inventing a theory of reverse tricknology?

FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.

Epstein saying if Trump is “cornered like a rat he could begin bombing Iran” “You guys need to understand that he is psychotic,” Epstein warned handlers.

Dave not only imbued every sentence he wrote with his love of Oakland and sports; he also spread that love in every personal interaction, perhaps the menschiest mensch I knew in my journalism career. It was a privilege to know and work with him.

Just watched the Starfleet Academy season finale and it was *fantastic*. Amazing performances by Paul Giamatti and Tig Notaro. Really glad Season 2 is coming, the pilot wasn’t my favorite but the characters really found their footing by the end and I can’t wait for more.

A huge loss for Oakland. I read him my whole life and was lucky enough to spend a few years with a desk near his to hear stories and get to know him.

Weird that the thing everyone said would happen happened for the exact reasons they were warned.

Why does stuff that reminds me of this @theonion.com video come up so often? It should not be relevant this often.

Government employees barred from asking other government employees for government records

I don't think I've told you people to listen to this song in, shoot, probably years, so: Listen to this. I love this band and song.

There’s nothing that shows off what a Masculine Warfighter you are than constant mewling about how unfair and mean everyone is to you. Defiantly filling your diaper in public is the act of a Warrior!!

Oh god, does that mean Mario Lopez is loose? Does anyone have eyes on him?! THIS WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

What's the verdict on listening to "Anaconda" in light of Nicki Minaj going full... that? I feel a little dirty giving her the $0.008.

A Democrat has won the mayor's seat in Boca Raton... by one vote:

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

I've never wanted and not wanted to know more about a subject than I do right now.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

so the prosecutor essentially argued swastikas are pro-trump.

Horse Cast As Horse In Live Action ‘Tangled’ Remake

When I was still learning about gender identities I didn't understand what genderfluid meant and the entire explanation that made it click was, "Bugs Bunny, basically."

This is fantastic and I love the list, no notes, but a tangent: There's no frisson nor transgression to fascism! Detached irony was not just normal but passé by the time Gen X turned 20, what's transgressive now is to genuinely care. To quote a great philosopher, kindness is the real punk rock.

So here’s the thing about not using Amazon: I ordered three things from not-Amazon on Feb 15, Feb. 26, and March 2. All charged me. The first and third have not shipped, and the second said it shipped but it’s not a valid USPS number, but I did receive a similar item I didn’t order… from Amazon.

For accountability: I’ve demanded @ashmcgonigal.com do these things and I don’t think he’s even started any. ASK HIM HOW THEY’RE GOING. 1. Invent rhombus dancing. 2. Come up with a new suite of minced oaths for modern profanity. 3. Develop a melodramatic, Bel Air style remake of Herman’s Head.
