kash patel always looks like he just found out kash patel is head of the fbi

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

nah. the worst part for me is the stress of not knowing if I'll make the flight once I'm at the airport. what's the difference between wasting time at home or a hotel and wasting time at the airport? it's not like I'd be doing anything important the day of a flight anyway.

Truly the only good thing to come out of this losing streak is that it's purging all of the losers from the fanbase who think the Mets stink because they're too woke.

how is this literally happening in real life

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Why is it that Democratic politicians are always doing this thing where they legitimize right-wing caricatures of Democrats? Which Democrats are referring to people in prison as the "justice involved population?" That's just not a thing any elected official is saying.

If Democrats in power are not using every lever they have to obstruct Trump now, why would you believe they would do it later?

Made a long overdue change to some of my network and DHCP settings and now I'm discovering all the devices I thought were set to static but actually weren't, but also never actually changed IPs. Because things other breaking because their IPs have now changed.

A commercial promoting Mets ticket packages just ran during Saturday Night Live. If only someone can make a joke out of that.

Amed Rosario’s 112.1 mph home run today was the hardest-hit batted ball of his career

Shrinkflation eventually hits everything.

Mason Miller only struck out two batters in the ninth #washed

"get mad at the right, not the democrats" I am so mad at the right I am unfortunately also getting mad at the democrats who aren't mad enough at the right. that's what being mad at the right means lol

mRNA technology may be THE most underrated and unfairly scrutinized (fuck you COVID antivax crew) medical breakthrough in my lifetime. Like... The things this is already showing it can do in the last 5-7 years is incredible.

I would simply tell the players to hit and pitch like they're supposed to.

One of the biggest lies in American culture is that the wealthy got wealthy by making morally good choices (ie working hard) and the poor got poor by making morally bad choices (ie being lazy and irresponsible) and that they both deserve what they got.

scouring BRef to see if an MLB team has ever made the playoffs without winning a single regular season game

I bought a case for my phone that has a lens cap.

But was it a third disengagement and didn't get the baserunner out balk? Cause we need that.

in the 1970s Hillary Clinton made a hundred grand trading cattle futures and 15 years later the news media made a decade-long scandal out of it

Why are there zero front row outfield seats for Mets @ CLE available on any of the third party ticket sites? NONE.

Mets: Lost 10 games in a row Me: Looking at tickets to go to more games this year

I keep seeing these commercials for the MLB video game during the games and thinking "wow these graphics look like crap for a game in 2026" before realizing it's a mobile game. Every. Single. Time.

Gary: "You can take the L right to the ballpark" Mets are gonna take the L from the ballpark.

Brooks Raley gives up a first pitch home run?

I guess maybe the specifics of who they were tracking is recent news but hasn't the MSG surveillance system been known about for years? Why is this all of a sudden news now?

Bichette's throws still tailing away from the first baseman, but that was a nice play.

So the Mets will win the World Series in seven years?

The Mets are on pace for 18 hits and 0 runs.

It’s not the inconvenience people long for. It’s a longing for consistency, reliabiliy, and simplicity, appreciation for things that are truly *yours* once you buy them, and being EXTREMELY sick of black boxes, forced obsolescence, product-as-service, and never knowing if the next update is going…

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Democrats being urged by politically toxic consultants not to oppose the politically toxic tech so as to not lose donations that are politically radioactive. Absolutely perfect Democrating.
