Mamdani is going to bring him that snowglobe that plays "Memories" from CATS and we're going to get government grocery stores nationwide

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Kids these days can’t just google ‘hardware store’

Weeellll by my calculations (and please understand that this is not an exact science) it’s probably about time for you to look at a heron

It doesn’t matter how much you exercise or how many veggies you eat when it comes to a pandemic. These things will not stop it, and the shitbirds that Trump has installed in leading public health positions should be fired for even suggesting it would.

Sounds like we need an expert in FISH LAW

Fish have committed credit card fraud

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum seeks the International Boundary and Water Commission intervention.

I can't speak to this more practically, but you should not use TurboTax for a myriad of reasons (including they lobby to make it so you can't do taxes easily without them). Not everyone can afford to use an accountant (or needs one) but TaxSlayer is fine.

"The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance."

🎤💧 "If you’re pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn’t read it anyway. You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider." Damn right.

#GoodMorningFromSaskatoon where it snowed!

Thread. “AI is patching up the holes in conspiracy theories and so making them seem more reasonable, making them easier to spread and more resilient to collapse” was not on my bingo card. AI relieves the pressure of cognitive dissonance. That’s … not great.

AI showing how giving your computer viruses can be automated.

Last year MTG came to Charlottesville to stump for our fashy candidate for House. I—the long (and falsely) alleged leader of “ANTIFA”—got within inches of her face. She was quickly swarmed by an irate crowd. Yet she was never once touched.

Gosh if only there was a four year period of time where someone from your party was President and could have done this

The journalist who asked Trump and MBS these questions (Trump business interests in Saudi Arabia/Khashoggi's murder) also later got in a question about releasing the Epstein files (which caused Trump to lash out). Amazing heat check.

i dunno man it sure does seem like all these global core internet backbone services outages coming in the wake of major layoffs and public announcements of shifting to AI for development work is something that feels like could be related

Raise your hand if you saw the news about Thiel dumping Nvidia and immediately looked up the statute of limitations on insider trading.

All this administration does is protect grifters, criminals, and sex pests.

It's always eugenics.

conceding to far right ideas about the structure of society is conceding to a zero sum vision of the world, and more importantly giving voters a choice between two zero sum visions, where one is half hearted and the other is full throated. is it really a surprise then they choose the latter?

Research aimed at reducing conflict between humans and gulls has shown that Herring Gulls recognize and react to angry, raised voices. #ornithology

Was she watching the McLaughlin Group in a constant state of arousal

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

This man could kill every human being on Earth right now if he wanted. :)

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

They are going to insist everyone they assault and kidnap are ‘violent criminals’ so this is basically egging them on.

STOP SPECULATING ABOUT PART 2 YOU MONSTERS

I repeat my prediction that we are going to hear a lot about "synthetic risk transfers" sometime in the next six months. During the bloody part.

MY GOD both of them are just terrible terrible terrible writers. Lizza at least has a grasp of structure and a more adequate vocabulary. But being a better writer than Nuzzi is a really really really low bar.

The kicker. Oh my god. (Read to the end. Trust me. You have to read all the way to the end.) www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

Please. For the love of all that is holy. Put the species name somewhere in the abstract. Please.

I have nothing of value or interest to say so here is a jackdaw thinking about how it really really likes chips

And it’s unconscionable that Democrats in Congress aren’t screaming over this.

"Hey my boyfriend saw you from across the bar and we really dig your vibe. Can we buy you a drink?"

what it would look like if we had uk-style liberal tabloids in america instead of this buttoned down approach

Bovino is the kind of guy who gets power when people like Obama and Biden try to appeal to Republicans by “getting tough” on immigration, only to have the very weak leash taken off under someone like Trump. Lesson: stop trying to be and appeal to shitty republicans on this core stuff.

Every time I see an excerpt from this Nuzzi production I think of Mencken's lines re: Harding's writing: "It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash."

We need to stop talking identity politics though

Tell me, @raskin.house.gov, do you think the Democratic Party has or should have any core principles, beliefs, or values?

bidens job was to find a fucking way. it wasnt even a priority. weak shit.

its mighty convenient how, when they need to do something popular with their base, the democrats suddenly become little smol beans who have to abide by every single character of "the rules"

WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ??
