World Order! From the same team that made Hegemony, very fun. Much more approachable than Hegemony but similar concepts. Very fun how we reenacted where contemporary political tensions are #boardgames

these bastards think they own us

take: a lot of the "tech left" is not really engaged with technology or how it's used (especially at work) and are laser-focused on consumer facing products, because they're first and foremost writers, and not actually engaged with technology except as consumers

Trans rights are human rights.

in left spaces you can find low info people who clearly have no idea what's going on but hate democrats for it, and high info people who want to damnatio memoriae the entire republican party

Mets win! Let's go Mets baby love da Mets #LGM #MetsSky

any good quality creamy brie, eaten as a sandwich, on a nice baguette with honey or some kind of jam, Aleppo pepper flakes, and if i'm feeling saucy, a good ham

Taiwanese food is so good I must visit Taiwan #gohanclub

No serious responsible professional coder thinks that producing code is a good outcome. How it is written is immaterial.

feels like the actual taboo in democratic policy making circles is to say that sometimes the problem is actually supply-side

All code is bad, it has always been bad, and I'm not afraid to spit these harsh truths

Shih Tzu, lord of vampires and warrior feared even by garlic-producing occultists.

Mostly grab whatever beer is interesting but one constant is the cheap, delightful 'Gansett

trump this iran that why don't we look at noods instead (miso ramen)

It is not a perfect correlation but there does seem to be a strong relationship between being annoying on a bus or train and fare beating

IN YOUR FACE, BASEBALL GODS! DO YOUR WORST! NOT EVEN YOU CAN STOP US NOW

W! #LGM #MetsWin

the nationalization of politics is just so so bad

mets wyd??? anyway i have a cemita this is good at least

Good graffiti on Delancey

if you love these movies, just admit you hate Esoteric Maoism

the most predictable outcome of Olga Tokarczuk saying she uses AI is that a bunch of posters will convince themselves that she was always bad, and liking her works is a sign of moral turpitude

If Claude seriously messes up I do not berate Claude or even tell Claude to correct its mistakes. I just fix the mistakes myself and close that chat. Forever. It's dead to me.

HUGE NEWS: ICE’s courthouse arrests have been STAYED by a New York district judge. That means that ICE will have to stop arresting our immigrant neighbors on the spot when they show up to court at places like 26 Federal Plaza, 290 Broadway, and 201 Varick. (1/2)

This is Sprout and Granola. They are enjoying a day on the lake. Yes, the propeller hats are necessary. They're helping with acceleration, obviously. 14/10 for both (IG: nolatheiggy)

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

people have a bad understanding of the health care industry. there are many problems. the insurers are not, in fact, the only actors here, and they aren't the cause of high prices.

LETS FUCKING GO METS

SUBWAY SERIES SECURED IN QUEENS 🗽 #LGM | #MetsWin

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

THE AVERAGE LIRR WORKER MAKES $136K!! THE MTA IS A NOT FOR PROFIT PUBLIC AGENCY THAT LOSES MONEY AND USES TAXPAYER $$ TO FILL THE GAP!! NOBODY AT THE MTA IS MAKING TONS OF MONEY, AND MOST EXECUTIVES HAVE TAKEN A LITERAL PAY CUT TO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!

Go to Flushing, Queens, and see what happens. You can't walk through the streets without finding delicious food. These are organized, very well-oiled efforts to suck noodles out of bowls.

the republicans think you and the people you know are fucking suckers and idiots who won’t blame them for this, and every time you scream into the text window about dem fecklessness, you prove them right. put the blame where it belongs.

Paid for the upgrade from the 500s because it cost less than a beer and hey I'm not mad #LGM #Mets

Keep picking bad weather days to go to the House of Pain #LGM #MetsSky

Internet: If they had simply tailored their entire election strategy around my interests they would have won.

METS?!?

Grass: touched

I don’t think people realize how hard survivors as well as the soldiers who liberated the camps worked to preserve the records and memory of the people who endured them. To see their labor and testimony discarded and rejected in the interest of political opportunism and bigotry is just gutting

China out here unlocking advanced flavor technologies

everyone online becoming amateur political strategists is deeply annoying. "if democrats said x they would win!" no that's not true that's never been true and besides you and 95% of voters don't pay attention anyway

Santa Barbara is jacking up its “affordable housing” fee to $160,000 for the average new rental unit. This is a punitive tax on less-expensive new housing intended to prevent neighborhood change, not a good faith effort to make housing affordable to poor and working people.
