did you hear about the horrifying thing that youre powerless to do anything about

I'm gonna make an espresso

You know you're under no obligation to print every rancid word he say?

I just did my squats while using my foster car as a weight loooooll he lives being held like a baby

heard a guy say "you have to access it through the portal" and i was momentarily struck by how sad it is that what he said is so boring :( "accessing it via the portal" should be wonderful. we deserve that at least. it should be cool to access it via the portal and instead it sucks shit

This what Musk et al are buying with their billions: The ability to act with absolute impunity, answerable to no one. The judge should be petty and recall him to the trial. And then hold him in contempt. (The article's writer is way too lenient.)

Rawbraining it

There’s something so chilling about being a former politician on one’s death bed, having a clear portal to an existential, cosmic perspective on the meaning of life, and counseling everyone to ask for less. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/u...

It’s hard to overstate how adorable and charming the Skokie Swift is

I made giardianra focaccia and it is delicious

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

"nobody will fly" This is another example of where the climate friendly solution is also the best solution. The trains will be faster than the flights. And they won't involve the unpleasant experience of air travel these days.

One of my internet favs is the guy that just adds Reagan to every graph because dammit, whatever societal ill, it usually originated there!

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Remember this next time you hit a pothole on your bike or see an unhoused person having a mental health crisis on the blue line. This is what the city has money for, not anything that actually improves lives.

when i die you don’t have to snarl traffic in the city for miles for me

My cat has started using a pillow as a comforter

No free food Ever For anyone Profit, at any cost

Weird how all the roads didn't shut down when that firefighter died a few weeks ago

Honestly they should have just used busses instead of shutting down a street for 2 days

To be clear: I called my Alder’s office yesterday to complain about the scale and span of the closures and it was news to them. There was no democratic process for this procession. No community input or consideration. Police just did this and barely bothered to inform anyone, least of all our reps

I'm sure it's absolutely fine that every single post on here is someone who needs money to survive, this is surely not a sign of complete societal collapse

Unironically this was perfect comms strategy.

DAWKINS: You idiots believe in God? ALSO DAWKINS: The Computer is alive. And it’s also my girlfriend

I DO NOT WANT TO 'CHAT WITH MY FILES'

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

Every day I wake up

I printed a handful of cable boxes to hide cords from our new puppy, and Virga has figured out how to open them and would like to thank me for thoughtfully arranging all the cords in one spot for his perusal and selection.

I suspect that the Powers That Be looooove AI because it disengages your brain and softens your thinking. Your free thought, your imagination, gets unplugged and into the socket, the AI node goes. And they control that node. Which means they control your mind. So: they start with kids.

The tent will continue to get bigger until morale improves

Doritos corn nuts

Everyone—including robotaxi companies—should pay a fine if they violate a traffic law

HAPPY AAPI HERITAGE AND MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH TO ALL OF OUR MENTALLY ILL ASIANS!!!

In lighter news. Seen tonight at Clark and Southport. LOL

a reminder that a lot of the things people find unpleasant about cities - along with the noise and dirtiness - are largely a product of filling them with cars. get rid of the cars and the pleasantness of the environment improves dramatically

A human did do this. They used an automation system with admin privileges and trusted it would somehow magically account for all contingencies. The person who used the automation is the person responsible. There is no other entity.

Ecstatic that '80s-style high-concept comedies are back ew.com/callum-turne...

Add “sitting at a table folding laundry” to the list of mundane, everyday activities people were doing before they were suddenly killed by a reckless driver. Strip malls with no bollards are terrifying.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

remember when trump lost the election and refused to accept the results and people were saying “come on just go along with it for a little while” this is what the ballroom is like right now lol

AI-generated sites are flooding the internet, swallowing all in their wake

Every DC character has the dumbest name

Holy shit. Holy. Shit. Trump sent the Gestapo to kidnap kids and shoot helpers in HIS TOWN.

"we need your tax dollars to fund the stochastic terrorist president's ballroom so there won't be any more violence at the White House Correspondents Dinner, an event where there has never once been violence until we elected a stochastic terrorist for president" incredible right wing logic
