This entire weekend

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Just took about an hour to complete day 8 of Advent of Code, losing maybe 10 minutes (some in part 1 and some in part 2) to Reading Comprehension(TM). I then asked Gemini to clean up my solution and it schooled me on my crappy algorithm. github.com/cshabsin/adv...

This one isn’t downloadable but if you have TikTok go watch it. Well worth your time www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr4gRL7v/

"Department of War adopts Papyrus as its Official Typeface for all internal communications"

I just realized... I only ever see frozen peas for sale at the grocery store (except for sugar snap peas, which are generally eaten with the pod on). Seems like you used to have to buy them and shell them yourself?

All of these new rulings don’t just affect today, they rewrite precedent. Trump still has three years left, and whatever expanded powers the Court hands him now will automatically pass to the next president as well.

I would buy a coffee table book of photography and description of the 6.004 Nerd Kit from back in the day.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

The Casablanca Cinematic Universe stretches all the way to St Elsewhere.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

In 1989, @fatsam.bsky.social predicted the future perfectly.

If you ever wondered what GOP gerrymandering looks like in red states with blue cities, I present:

Dedham Priest pissing off all the right people by removing Jesus from the church's nativity scene and putting up an ICE WAS HERE sign in His place. www.boston25news.com/news/local/i...

Can't believe we're in a timeline where this had to be posted.

‘You boy! How do I unsubscribe from all these Black Friday emails?’

I asked Google AI mode some questions about how much of the real cost of AI consumers are seeing today and got some scary answers. Then I just said:

Strong floor, no ceiling, would be better if it meant the progressive tax brackets of the 1950s.

If AI can generate this it can't be all bad: "The primitives believed that by sacrificing their currency to the twin gods 'Target' and 'Walmart' in brutal, localized skirmishes, they could ensure the sun's return in January."

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

If I ever get bitten by a radioactive raven and get flying superpowers, Gravity Skeptic will be my hero name.

We need a new, strong Senate Minority Leader. My choice👇

Genius

Trump's turn smells like a trap.

This one has several planes, but a shout out to an especially great scene about how to land a jet.

I'd pay good money to upgrade my Boston Globe subscription to omit sports crap.

Maybe it wasn't political malpractice for Democrats to allow this through? Are the public starting to notice what the Republicans are?

I wish I hadn't seen a trailer before watching Pluribus episode 1

Oof. 10th percentile on that shift in the Dispatch finale... and I thought I was doing ok! What an ending though, what a show, er, game! Gotta work on my QTE reactions...

In case people forget. You should be boycotting Starbucks. Tomorrow starts their strike. Going to Starbucks is crossing picketing lines. Be a better person and don’t go to Starbucks ✌🏼 it’s not that hard

Invisigal could do a killer Tracer costume at Halloween. That invisibility of hers could simulate Tracer's teleport pretty well as a party trick. #Dispatch

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

The Trump Administration is choosing to let families go hungry even as grocery prices rise and millions struggle to afford food. The emergency funds exist to keep SNAP benefits going, but they’re refusing to act. It’s shameful and completely unacceptable.

This is what we get for laughing at the OceanGate Titan submersible. Now the whole country is in the submersible.

Whether it’s Bill Clinton letting a donor sleep in the Lincoln bedroom or Donald Trump completely demolishing the east wing of the White House, neither president showed proper respect for our nation’s most sacred building.

If you're still giving this rag your money or eyeballs, why?

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

It's up there now, I guess they saw this and fixed the glitch.

Oust Stephen Miller. Hire Stephen Wright.

a good “this is what twitter was for” thread was when someone pretty definitively and with evidence traced the etymology of “triscuit” to “electricity biscuit” because harnessable electricity was pretty new at the time and they were like futuristic crackers

Do not ask for whom the turn down, it turn down for what

It's part of their plan to kill fentanyl sales.

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

This pretty much sums it up www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/how...
