Realized that playing StarCraft unconsciously prepared me for the endless engineering otherwise known as “living on a hillside” “You Must Construct Additional Piles”

I am not in any way attempting to redeem Bari Weiss. But if you *were* working for the other side, the boneheaded yesman strategy of enforcing the Administration’s wishes with strategic doses of incompetence that turn them into net negatives for the Administration would be exactly the play

His multiple bankruptcies make a lot more sense when you realize that in addition to being a terrible human being, Trump is also catastrophically bad at math.

“my Claude is sycophantic” maybe tell it not to be

What if we think of it less as the Epstein Files have been released, and more that it’s the world’s biggest scratcher?

What if we think of it less as the Epstein Files have been released, and more that it’s the first day of the Epstein Files Advent Calendar?

Home Assistant is really quite useful when you get into it enough.

LA machinists -- we need 12 of these ASAP. 12x quantity to start, 18/10 SS, dimensions 6.66 * 6.66 * 13.18. Dm me if interested in taking this on

Trump can try to affect the trade deficit all he wants. But he has *no idea* how much cool guitar shit I am prepared to buy from Japan to counteract him.

BRB updating my balance sheet.

WOW, I had heard that FSD was dangerous, but this is wild. 12x the human crash rate is wild. No way they can scale until that is fixed. www.commondreams.org/news/tesla-r...

As a freshman in high school, we had hazing rituals I was bought at a fundraiser auction by a group of girls, dressed up as a crazy person, taken to the grocery store, given a bible and told to preach the gospel loudly to the vegetables. At 15 I still made more sense than the President did tonight

I talk about Costco and why they're successful a lot and this to me is a pretty big part of why they are slowly eating all retail in the United States: I trust them! Not like, with my life, but I trust that when I buy a product in their store is not part of an elaborate plot to fuck me over.

Not sure why the GOP felt the need to borrow someone else’s turtle when Mitch McConnell was right there.

When she threatens to break up with you and you say “ok”

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

This is one way our capitalist economy solves this btw. Wanna go all the way? Cap and trade 😬 Need a gun license this year? Bid for it - there a fixed number of them (declining annually) Don’t win? Gotta turn in the firearm and law enforcement escrows it for a fixed fee until next year’s auction.

To the gun lobbyists who will inevitably claim the Bondi shootings show that Australia’s strict firearms laws are ineffective: In 2023, the US had 4.42 gun homicides per 100,000 people. Australia had 0.09 gun homicides per 100,000. worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank...

@bsky.app @jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com It would be really great if BlueSky stopped restarting when I switch away to look up something while composing a skeet. Or, you know - if it remember what I typed.

We knew this 20+ years ago in the MMO space. People talk and they DO NOT LIKE IT. Uber barely got away with surge pricing, and there is an argument that every trip is unique. Same commodity, different price? Consumer rage inducing.

Malignant narcissists lack empathy and so can only mimic socially appropriate responses—and sometimes they don’t even bother to try.

Whoops, made a banger.

Goddam why does 1918 go so hard

Need to ketchup on the latest presidential scandal? @thedailybeast.bsky.social has got you.

Oh Amazon, never change…

once again this is not a real thing Elon Musk is going to actually accomplish, this is a lazy fiction designed to inject the looming Space X IPO with memestock fantasy magic

This is the stupidest shit in the world, and journalists keep falling for it. The correct question to keep pounding is: “What evidence from this country - or any country - do you have that this would work?” Followed by: “Why do you advocate making such substantive changes without any evidence?”

LOL “She deserves the chance to do the right thing” Um, @karaswisher.bsky.social - the correct answer here was “HELL NO” If she had wanted to do the right thing - she would have already. Doing the right thing after you’ve been caught is… not doing the right thing.

Well he doesn’t know much so that actually checks out.

folks we are into “breaking gerrymanders” territory here we are going to win

Unless chair is cake. Is chair cake?

Just discarded an entire pun skeet.

Tell me again how private enterprise is inherently superior to public options? (From www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...)

this gets to the fundamental lawlessness. the difference between law as a game and law as a tool of government. birthright citizenship is the law. nothing has changed. the documents are the same. if that can change based on *nothing*, you don't have a real constitution in the first place.

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows

How cute is this guy?

Yeah, it be that way sometimes.

I’d make an Asian dad joke* about this, but I see that the entire new vaccine “committee” is… white people. Le sigh. * “Hepatitis B? Why not Hepatitis A+? Disappointed.”

Aw, this is adorable. Pretty sure I’ve seen that set before though.

The Roberts Six have thoroughly politicized the Court and turned it into a reliable arm of the RNC. Democrats should have no reservations about calling them out for it, demanding resignations from these bought-off hacks and running on a promise to enact sweeping reforms.

*hyperventilating* I swear to god… the first lecture… on the first day… of the first class… in the first year… of every CS program… should be… in its entirety: COMPUTERS ARE NOT MAGIC YOUR JOB IS TO KNOW HOW THINGS WORK

Leaked Data Dumped on Dark Web

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
