I'm sorry, I'd love to be of assistance to you but I'm afraid I speak no English

1. Taco Bell belongs on this list too even if they didn’t state it like that. The Cantina Menu is actually good 2. Whom among us does not disable quote posts on a pretty uncontroversial post like this??

this triple whammy of Dems coming out with big tax cut proposals is dangerously close to negatively polarizing me against "tax the rich" rhetoric EVERYBODY NEEDS TO PAY THEIR TAXES

Audible is amazing in how its Library button is only loosely related to the things you’ve bought Bro I bought like 25 non-kids books over the times I had a subscription and I listened to less than half, where’s the damn list of books I own, not the list of every author I sampled on the subscription

Bier: Kennedy's badgering "only revealed how some members of Congress are totally unaware of the Trump administration’s extreme policies and statements [on deportation]. "They seem too extreme to be real, but they are."

The story is: “White House raises new threats to try and further influence decisions of media company Trump already has inappropriately influenced through use of coercive litigation.”

I have a straw, and my straw reaches across the room

TBC, this article is primarily opposing the "Permanent Daylight Saving Time" plan of simply adopting the time zone east of yours, which is what polls say far more people actually want when they rail against the clock changes. Remember there are 3 options and you don't all agree what to change to!

learning it’s not always worth the effort to disread ambiguous posts

Also, guess it happened a while back, but the 27 percenters are now under 27 percent

If Democrats don't insist on transferring the ICE money from BBB, I'm going to be quite angry.

We need to do a better job of differentiating "needs to be secure so no one steals something that will significantly hurt the user" vs "needs to be secure so no one gets the service for free from the company" I'm sure this isn't a new idea (not a security guy) but it needs to be widespread

To the contrary, I would not have guessed this type of country singer existed

One thing I've noticed from watching some local news is that ICE abductions are being reported with the same tone as stories in the crime beat. We talk a lot about how local news gives people the impression that crime is a worse problem than it is, but it also might 1/ www.wbtv.com/2026/02/26/c...

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

like, powerful elites publicly breaking from the regime is Good, Actually. It is a consequential thing in a hybrid regime. you need to think in those terms if you want to understand what is going on. we are here and this is happening. sorry if you think it's cringe, I guess.

I think it's good that the large and powerful company with the extremely widespread and powerful technology is not fascist and that celebrating that is fine, actually. this is in fact a thing that matters.

for someone who cut their teeth on 1-4 threaded CPUs, the way a full-on infinite loop in single-threaded-ass JavaScript in a browser does NOTHING to the desktop or the PC as a whole, and doesn't even make the case fan speed up, is deeply weird

for the first time in my life in a 3-person household*, I’m just about to finish off an 8-pack of hamburger buns, with none going to waste * excluding cookouts, etc—just the 3 of us

"Let's just do it," said Jane Fyre. "And be legends, man."

Forwarding without Parker’s screenshots because the general point is more important than the specific. And this is something I was noticing in 2016-2017 on Twitter at latest, but it goes back to the similar dynamics of the political blogs and their comment sections in the GWB years

some of y’all would literally eat castor beans and deadly nightshade over perfectly edible fruits, smh. guess im just built different

Genuinely useful info

in honor of tonight’s trailer, and interlude, a throwback, and a prophecy

the "steady decline" chart sure looks different if you don't choose something between 10 and 15 months as your timeframe 🤷 so if 12 months is some kind of standard, we should have about 2.5 more months of being constantly told we're disappearing

The Wall was always one of my favorite albums but at this point I’d like to do basically this with the “we don’t need no education” part of Another Brick in the Wall

sure I'll take a look at Copilot's "data cleaning" suggestions for the first time have you considered your parents might have named you wrong??

I honestly think one reason Millennials are so angry about all this is that many of us grew up during the brief period in American history where the official line was that we had won history *because* of our values, and most of us actually internalized that.

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

tbh where someone *should* do a 10,000 investigative piece is on who/what Valkyrie Aviation Holdings Group LLC is

There are two ways to view this stuff: a turn back to a dark age or the death rattle of bigotry. The gripping hand is: we can choose which it will be.

that thing where OneDrive says "you're deleting 200 files named like [sha hash].txt" and DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT FOLDER THEY'RE IN makes it worse than useless

told Siri to set a reminder for "next Saturday". it set it on 2/28... annoying, obviously not the Saturday I meant, but whatever, maybe their programming automatically takes "next" as "skip the first one you come to" so I edited it... chose "Next Weekend" on the dropdown it set the reminder on 2/21
