excuse me?!

The most important detail here is obviously about how ‘someone’ is abusing the HTX reserves like a piggy bank. But, my personal favorite detail was: “HTX’s DAO governance forum currently displays a banner that claims, “This site is in read-only mode because there are overdue hosting payments.””

🚨NEW: ‘Someone’ is taking advantage of HTX’s reserves protos.com/someone-is-t...

Not Justin Sun's HTX? Someone is taking advantage of Justin Sun's HTX? Who would do that? Who has enough access to HTX to do that? At Justin Sun's HTX? protos.com/someone-is-t...

The things I believe Jimmy Donaldson deserve would upset T&S

I bet there’s times this would work, like how sometimes SovCit shit works on parts of the bureaucracy because it’s not worth enforcing certain things on someone that stubborn and that disconnected from reality

The things society let you get away with when you’re a “maverick” with a substack and a couple rich guys in a groupchat-cum-polycule with you, are not the same things they permit once you’re leading broadcast and print news for one of the networks

Man, imagine if something that dumb existed in real life www.vice.com/en/article/b... From: On Sawdust and Broken Glass by George Kaloudis

the idea that weiss had journalistic concerns is belied by the fact that she's not a journalist

Looks like sending it through Byers didn't have the intended result

8??

“AI will revolutionize your field, use it or be left behind.” Okay, how can I use it and get benefits in my field? “If you don’t believe it or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry”

One of the weirdest things about the Bears-Packers game was the claim that the Packers sideline heaters were not working. They’re resistive heating, as long as there is power going through the resistive element they will get hot

It’s still incredible to me that Kamala Harris spent several paragraphs in her book complaining that she was under-prepped for a softball interview with Dr. Mike, this guy:

Every so often I think about 107 Days and how much it made me reluctant to vote Harris for anything in the future

I hate how easy it is for cryptocurrency scammers to secure future business deals

Any day now someone’s going to need this

They’ve been basically worthless for my work

i think software engineers insisting that everyone needs to pick up LLM tooling as a part of their job are mostly showing the depth of their own ignorance with respect to how other professions work on the basis that inevitably they must be right in some marginal way about the adoption of technology.

Man, am I grateful for sewers. I cleaned my apartment this morning, took a shower, use the bathroom, I’m currently running the dishwasher and doing several loads of laundry. All that dirty water is being handled by the Northwest Bergen County Utility Authority. Amazing stuff.

This would be a better joke if it were the quadratic formula or something, I use the pythagorean theorem all the time! life is full of right triangles

David Duke made this same claim.

That’s a crime

I periodically remember how fucking cool science is and it gives me hope for the future. Then I remember we cut all the science funding and sink back into something like a lightly dissociated simmering rage.

This information has absolutely been published in the US

There’s a dynamic wherein politicians are allowed to make definitively wrong statements of fact without being accused of lying, as long as the thing they’re lying about is treated as political

Six cigars a day may not actually be good for your health

I need everyone to look at the height markings in this image

Oh man, I’m not a fighting sports guy, but I’m pretty sure it’s embarrassing as a former pro to get your shit kicked by an amateur

Trains are always on time when there’s no more clocks

my promise as your future dsa chapter cochair is that i will keep the atomic clocks running

It is an academically despicable and corrosive act to cite papers that do not exist

“It’s unreasonable to expect elites to choose not to hangout with pedophiles”

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

Broadly whenever people say things like “you used to be able to buy a home for your family on a single income” they’re lying. The median family actually could not do that. Maybe their grandpa could, but that doesn’t make them the median American

Looks like they're right. Data Set 1 / Photo 468, the image from yesterday's Epstein files release that included photos of Trump in a drawer, was removed.

Your appliances are often better as well: youtu.be/Jy0lGlWHfo8?...

not that the present economic picture is rosy, but i do think that popular culture — and specifically nostalgia bait television — is a big part of the reason that our public memory of the 1970s, 1980s and even 1990s seems to miss the real economic pain that marked each of those decades.

Watching Price is Right reruns with an inflation calculator is free 99 and more people should do it. Note: your dad/mom/grandma will get bombarded with HOW DID ANYONE AFFORD APPLIANCES??? text messages when you do this and they will be a little confused.

That’s a crime.

Sometimes I wonder how many of these people lie about their family histories. Either intentionally because it helps them be more racist, or unintentionally because family histories, especially several generations removed, are often full of lies

For the record, the law states that "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary." www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

🚨 "The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials. " h/t @kleinmatic.bsky.social

In our book, @kateconger.com and I argued that Musk knows he is too big to fail. There is nothing that can hold him or his wealth accountable. His enormous wealth allows him to buy whole companies or boost political candidates on a whim. And that will become even more apparent in coming years.

"megachurches are shen yun for white people" is an incredible and damning true statement

The GOP realized that one of their favorite Nazis, Pat Buchanan, was right about the ability for the culture war to be a winning issue that kept them near power

Wut?
