objectively very funny that all the republicans crying about talarico eating a potato and egg breakfast taco have already pledged their undying loyalty to an enfeebled new yorker who survives on diet coke and the phantom of the opera soundtrack. not that it matters. not that anything at all matters

i write all my prompts in terse 4 character classical chinese phrases

Economic sentiment in the Silo is at an all-time low - lower than right before the Rebellion. 72% of former Mayor Ruth Jahns supporters say they belive the economy is "poor," while a shocking 55% of interim Mayor Bernard Holland supporters including top-levelers rank the economy as "fair to poor."

Florida Hispanics at R+4 in a blue wave cycle lmfao irredeemable state

when i built my computer last year i should have just gotten the 5090 lol

They will lay me off, they will end my health insurance, they will raise my rent until I can't afford it anymore, they will destroy the tools I use by making them shittier or subscription-based or both; everything I depend on or enjoy will be Disrupted for some boy-king dipshit's funding round

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

damn new google calendar icon sucks ASS

DON'T BELIEVE HIS LIES

The latest weekly @economist.com / @today.yougov.com Poll just dropped, and we're into new territory. Only 34% of Americans approve of how Donald Trump is having his job as president. That's lower than Trump has ever received, in either term — and lower than Biden ever got. Read more:

Dear girls: Dress like this, please. Sincerely, ALL boys 😜

What is up, Doctor?

"in general we are still commanded by people who managed to live through the years 1931-9 without even discovering that Hitler was dangerous" really hits

I’m not going to pretend that the Park Slope co-op BDS is important or means much but always love when these people accidentally admit that they’ve never cared about or fought for anything

"coders who don't want to code" I'm sorry, literally everything we do as software engineers is about avoiding work.

My review of Season 2 of the Silo: "Season 2 of the Silo is like a love letter to the Silo."

Anytime the Silo is not on screen the other characters should be asking "what's going on with the Silo?"

As of a couple of weeks ago, no US Senator had lost reelection in a primary since 2012. Now GOP voters have ousted two senators over 10 days: Cassidy in Louisiana, and Cornyn in Texas.

7k some votes for a policy decision at the Park Slope coop while the winner of the last city council race in Oxford didn't even hit 2k votes

I actually hope this place becomes even more of a caricature of itself. I love it here. I believe that True Bluesky has not yet even been tried

Season 2 Episode 1 of Silo plays like a a Resident Evil game, beautiful

Grew up as a Chinese kid in South Dakota and live in Greenpoint NYC. I know all sides of America thank you very much.

Eternally relevant:

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

he is a cynical, malicious, monstrous black hole of a human being and we’ve been caught in his event horizon for ten years, *of course* we are feeling the effects of that, making everyone feel awful is his superpower

at the risk of oversimplifying, i do not find it especially surprising that a full ten years into the era of donald trump dominating our politics, americans find ourselves angry, bitter, cynical and resentful no matter our material conditions.

I think quite a few of these guys in the gerrymandered R but weakened seats are just annoyed at having to run a campaign at all. If you go from a R +20 to an R +8 you might actually have to get off your fucking ass and try to convince people to vote for you

yeah I could multi-task with multiple windows and multiple agents and sub-agents. but it feels very undignified. let's just do one thing at a time.

Zohran commits to building more public ziggurats.

saying you love Ra when you only have one obelisk is crazy

Locking in for the Year of the Bean.

fuck ocean county. the best part of Jersey Shore is Belmar up to Sandy Hook anyway. Although I'd take a slice of LBI too for fun.

here you go, an 11-1 New Jersey map that preserves every Dem incumbent's home and plays around with Callais while still keeping the current minority districts in effect.

it is kinda funny how many Americans eat soy-raised meat rather than just eat the soy

tylenol with codeine ⛑️

I helped on this one. I found one of the shooters active in an incel forum complaining about being short, attacking women and giving advice on self-harm. The shooters weren't nihilist. They're representative of the ties between incels and white power that's fueled by the great replacement theory.

I do find it baffling that the U.S. seems to be one of the only places on earth that has really, really figured out the wonders of “screens to keep the bugs out.”

getting a $1.50 bodega coffee in the middle of the day is the key to productivity #lifehack

I want a tape player because I saw the local record store has $3 tapes and I miss discovering new music by buying an EP that looks kinda cool. The algorithm is incredibly bad at introducing new music to you.

Chewy has everything your pets will love

One of the earliest examples that really shocked me with LLMs was this circa early 2024. This still blows my mind to this day. Somehow it simultaneously has the full text of Harry Potter memorized and the wherewithal to translate it into mathbb characters. This is incredibly strange.

despite all the silly genre-tropes i am fully Silo-pilled. beginning Season 2 with [SPOILERS] depictions of a revolution get me so amped. I could basically watch any movie with a good Snowpiercer-like "they've got no bullets" moment

almost anyone under 45 who has read a book without pictures in the last 10 years can see a band of racist idiots setting into motion a century of american humiliation, but why are they upset?

This was baffling during Biden but if you can't figure out why a forward looking person would be negative under Trump lol

girl shut da hell up

wake up babe the white house is a six flags
