"Cheating on your wife is cool and badass" is not a winning strategy with most voters imo. Its one thing to try and sell the greater consequences of a senate seat than a personal life's observation but half of what repulses people about Republicans right now is this vice signaling attitude.

Dude looking like char siu

idk who keeps trying to make Robby Hoffman happen but they need to stop lol.

I can play out my own version of how it would go, but I still think a Dem comms person has a lane to say “for a political party with a history of sports coaches that were sex creeps, it’s wild yall keep trotting this type of guy out there.”

Also to add on: Why is the AI hooked up in a way where it can actually touch anything? Is there literally anyone who finds posting too difficult a thing to do? Account management? Why not just link to an FAQ when asked?

I hope they never turn away from this tact. I hope they keep banging this exact drum for the next 5 months, unwavering.

One of the oddest things about AI obsession is that from my POV social media is the worst place to introduce it broadly speaking. The entire premise of social media is peer to peer and security which many turn into profitable ventures. Why add intermediaries that cost money and reduce both?

Yeah Matt we all knew purely from vibes that you prey on undergrads, you didn't need to tell us.

Also, I know the sales pitch on these tiny ereaders is pictures of it attached to people's phones, but also, don't do that man lol. These things weigh <90 grams but if you attach it to your phone and drop your phone, you're going to risk damage for no real reason. Just keep it in a front pocket.

The San Antonio Zoo won a playoff bet with the Oklahoma City Zoo. Now, it's challenging New York to a similar wager.

Very happy Last Week Tonight covered Ghanian movie posters, I became obsessed with learning about Ghana after I saw the Adam Curtis doc "Black Power" forever ago.

Last Week Tonight is trying to shame people who form preferences with Washington Journal anchors and I feel personally attacked.

Rashida Tlaib is forcing a vote on a Lebanon-centered War Powers Resolution later this week which would, if passed, require that the US end all intelligence sharing and other coordinated activities with the Israeli army related to Lebanon and its sovereignty within 7 days. Tell your rep to vote YES

Between the xteink x3 and x4, I think my verdict is that the x3 is superior if you're fine with the weird charger but the x4 is solid if you want to save 20-30 bucks. The slightly better chip in the x3 combined with being the size of a credit card makes it super convenient for travel/reading.

this is very cool

NEW: Tina Peters, newly freed by Colorado Gov Jared Polis (D), begins her MAGA media tour by telling Steve Bannon that Democrats are cheating on elections and she was imprisoned as retribution for exposing voting machines that flip votes.

I'd have an iota more respect for Jared Polis if he just came out and said he pardoned her because he thought he'd get something from Trump, as it's clear his stated reasons for the pardon are BS. If political machinations weren't behind his pardon, then I have even less respect for him.

Shouldn't be too big of a mystery as to why new vehicle sales aren't picking up, they're too expensive!

"his primary victory is inevitable and he's going to be a disaster who is still significantly better than susan collins, voting-wise" is the only viable position at this point I feel like and I hate it

I absolutely think a senate candidate's personal life is my business, because he is running to be one of the most powerful people in the United States. This is not a position where you can maintain a principled privacy for your serial infidelities *that took place last year.*

at Hannaford they abbreviate the generic store brand Hannaford products as "HRD" which I can't help parse as "hard" so I'm constantly thinking about like Mike's Hard Macaroni And Cheese

Which is likelier? The bad part is I genuinely don’t know.

incredible news for a ~20 vehicle fleet that has crashed ~17 times in the last year

Uh guys. Uhhhh. Uhhh oh my god. Holy shit

backrooms (2026)

From Reuters: The agency said Iran and the Resistance Front (...) have set an agenda to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts, including the Bab El Mandeb Strait, in ⁠order to "punish" Israel and its supporters. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Every Republican primary candidate

It's kind of insane to me that John Oliver called the Pardon a broadly good idea lol. There's really no reason to not require a congressional vote on it.

"Joel" is picking cherries in the Bakersfield CA area. "We get paid 30 cents per pound. It's a very difficult job. I have to carry a bucket that weighs 30 lbs when full up and down a ladder. But supporting my family is my priority and this job helps pay the bills." #WeFeedYou

Whoa. The George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will start you off in a photographic recreation of cave paintings, then work its way up, room by room, through more complex and beautiful forms of storytelling until you reach the end:

Tbh I think that's a function of all populism.

No Strait This Month, Happy Pride

"I have no character concerns with a guy who cheats on his wife" is an amazing thing to say, Jonathan Have the integrity to acknowledge that if you disliked his policy positions you'd be calling him a scumbag for this (and would be right to)

This is nuts, man. Philandering by politicians is absolutely an issue of trust.

God, imagine it's 1998 and you're stoned watching TNT and having one of those weed paranoia bouts, and alien Martin Sheen looks directly at you and says this:

The wild thing about the BC-250 is it's basically a PS5 with some of the compute units segmented off, so by default it's like 24 compute units, but they figured out how to re enable the compute so it's back to 40 CU. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAxY...

This is still the hardest I’ve ever laughed at anything.

every time I get on a plane now I'm like "is this a Nintendo flight or an iPad flight"

I wrote a pilot for CBS w this plot during the last year of the Drew Carey Show The essence of the pitch was I Love Lucy but i was Lucy The point is that was 21 years ago

"Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track of how many articles you've read."

I cannot get enough of this lego controversy

Once my friend Steve was on a bus in Seattle and a guy kept muttering about “bad earth” and so “that’s bad earth” came to mean something ominous, evil, and menacing.

I guess I won’t be supporting the former CIA agent next time they run 😔

He's single handedly ruined my ability to see good comedy in Austin reliably.

Looks like a few of the 250 assassins are out. Oh well, more room for me

It actually had a rather negative effect on the world for the court to force Elon Musk to go through with his Twitter purchase. In retrospect, he should have been allowed to wriggle out as he tried to.

Pesapallo has started up again and we have our first parking lot ball
