Joey Porter talking shit on Sex Pest Ben Roethlisberger? I am seated yes yes

“You usually want to turn your little guys into women. But every now and then, it is better to turn one into a horse.”

FRIENDS is popular literally everywhere I've been. there are uncontacted tribes who have opinions about whether Ross and Rachel were on a break.

But my dream for a long time has been to see a standardized, value engineered, energy efficient small footprint 3/2 for urban infill. The few builders that are targeting this segment are continually reinventing the wheel and it is dumb.

I don’t think I ever knew this. I was a fan of the show, but also I was in college and pretty estranged from football.

aspirational america is unmeasurably important not just here, but for the world

My favorite: the word "buckeroo" comes from vaquero (cowboy).

The absolute madman

This is a really, really good thread. Essential for anyone learning how to cook, but also full of tips lots of established cooks may have missed.

The masculine role model boys need.

My personal take is that the Woke 2 objection to the AI post is not Luddism, but that the post used specious social justice language to try to win an argument that has nothing to do with social justice. I can love AI & still sneer at that kind of bullshit.

FWIW, I’d pick prosecution over reorg, bc I’d prefer a bad org chart with chastened personnel to a better one with most of the same bad apples. But “abolish ICE” points in the opposite direction.

In this house we CHEER for Team USA We CLAP for the other teams too And we BOOO JD Vance when they show him on the broadcast

To pat myself on the back, my collegian, who barely ate at home, has ended up following in my footsteps. making dorm room gourmet with a few supermarket items augmented by the salad bar in the cafeteria. And the next one up won't even apply to schools that don't have kitchens in freshmen dorms.

I don't really mind being bald, but a picture like this can send me into a near-spiral.

Good news, this new Peacock show is neither a franchise nor a reboot.

When we helped my dad empty out his house a few years back, the kitchen cabinets included food bought by my mom, who never lived at home again after her accident 28 years before. That Uncle Ben's rice did feel a bit like an heirloom.

This is an argument that abolishing ICE will change nothing.

Democrats won’t be able to pass any real legislation without veto-proof majorities or support, but they can prevent more bills like the BBB from being passed & use the committees in both chambers appropriately to conduct oversight. How much harm can be reduced-2029 is entirely up to the voters. 4️⃣/4️⃣

I don't think this is exactly right, for 2 reasons: 1st, you can 100% win local office on bases exclusive of charisma*, and 2nd, personal charisma doesn't always translate on camera. Everybody I've ever known who interacted with both Clintons IRL says Hillary's the charismatic one, but on TV...

I don't want to quote dunk but I saw another "body cams don't do anything" post and I just want to say that I, a criminal defense attorney, very much like having body cams.

Like only a few months ago I saw a crowd of people in my old neighborhood rush ICE after they caused an accident. What do you think people like them will do when they're told they can't vote? bsky.app/profile/news...

There’s no visible evidence that WFH added to the rate of women having careers, which makes it unlikely that ending it would A. reduce that, or B. be intended to do so.

Except this isn't true. Like, it actually matters, when you decide to invoke history, that the history is correct, and the gestapo weren't modeled after slave-catchers at all. It was modeled after the *Preußische Geheimpolizei*, which was its immediate predecessor organization from 1853.

every single Movement in my living memory that's had something genuinely important to the betterment of our culture has been, without fail, parasitized by agitators and useful idiots who fucked it dry of anything good and important and hard and true it was demanding of us as people

This was in the Canberra Times.

So every election, my wife and I and our 2 kids walk to the local library, where we greet election workers who've known them their whole lives, and see neighbors about half the time. My 21-yo would crawl over broken glass to vote, and my 17-yo can't wait. I'm not missing a goddamn thing.

No offense but if anything MN puts the lie to the idea that popular resistance takes a bunch of time and preparation by established activists who are allegedly quietly building goodwill. Mostly I see those people upset that it's succeeding and trying to gatekeep the normal people out of it

Some people - particularly in the wealth management industry - are just really really good sycophants. I don't think this is really all that deep - I've met quite a few of the equivalent of 10x engineers for kissing billionaire ass, so I can believe Epstein was a 50x.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

My theory of this is that a large minority of ppl who claimed these values thought they meant it (were not overtly cynical), but through a combo of simple tribalism and propaganda, only a tiny minority have kept the faith (and hardly any of them will do anything about it).

Btw, worth noting here that “omg they have data on so many protestors” is the same vibe as young people who find the idea of phone books scandalous. DID YOU KNOW THE GOVT ALREADY HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER!?!?!

FUCK

There will be books written about this moment, and Republicans will try to keep them out of your grandchildren’s school libraries.

“Keep groundhog in Groundhog Day.”

Look, this is a name that Hollywood made up for that tv show, now people are trying to use it in the real world, but people hate it.

FWIW, it’s trivially easy to put your iPhone into safe mode, requiring passcode, without even looking at it or taking it out of your pocket. If you want the convenience and higher non-LEO security of face/touch unlock. Hold buttons on either side for 2 seconds, and that’s it. Passcode access only.

@saikatforcongress.bsky.social h/t The thing is that for anyone to do this, they have to: *Look good in short video format *Be charismatic in short video format *Want to do it Much easier said than done!

It was benign when the protests were END DRONE STRIKES (unless a Dem does it, in which case we don’t care). Now that the stakes are higher than status in the local PSL, that shit is over.

Please read this extremely thoughtful & careful post on Tim Walz, Anne Frank, & the US Holocaust Memorial Museum from Martin Shuster, philosopher, Isaac Swift Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies, former Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow, & scholar of genocide, the Holocaust, & authoritarianism:

Liberal white men love this because they get to be misogynistic while pretending they're being anti-racist

Which magazines from the 1930s, David? WHICH MAGAZINES?

This excellent essay does so much so well, including showing just how hollow Woke 1 could be, with a woman DFW apologist saying, sure, he was a misogynist, but so am I. Deflecting the hard conversation by putting on the hair shirt of complicity. Anyway, fuck DFW.

Precisely why I never got in the habit. ”When we applied that same visual language to RSS (the unread counts, the bold text for new items, the sense of a backlog accumulating) we imported the anxiety without the cause."

Like, yes, 67 votes could remove Trump and Vance in the same way that Benjamin Netanyahu could decide tomorrow to recognize Palestine and President Xi could recognize Taiwan's independence. It's all theoretically possible if you ignore who these people are and what their beliefs actually are.

We need the FDA to step in. Ok, maybe mild is always wet chips, but Medium is everything from Mex marinara to scalp sweats, while Hot is everything from spicy Mex marinara to masculine insecurity. Objective measures are the only solution.

All due respect to some smart writers, but it’s pretty obvious the moment you think of it: reverse the order of the murders, and public reaction is similar, but the cognoscenti narrative flips, to where ppl are merely mad when a white guy dies, but go nuts when a white MOM dies.
