Government tech capacity is majorly injured. The remnant who haven't been fired are afraid to talk about real priorities like memory safety. The Trump admin is redirecting them into frivolous projects like putting LLM chat-bots into everything.

One thing that is under-appreciated is the reality that if you can’t walk *to* downtown from anywhere, the couple commercial blocks themselves being walkable is not terribly valuable

My man looks like someone who’s legally obligated to stay 500 feet away from bouncy castles

Lol I’m at a restaurant watching MNF and some dude mansplaining TO ME who John Madden was.

I have raised around $23,000 for downballot campaigns on here in the past three months. that's $2 and change for each follower I have

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

The judges understand the assignment. Solid 4B (lean into the lifetime appointment)

What gives, Gen Z?

A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year

First date with a woman who looked kinda like Sandra Oh. When I got to the bar, she was standing to the left of the entrance. Standing to the right was Sandra Oh, with whom I exchanged a moment of awkward eye contact.

Former spymaster turned crime-solving retiree. Scarily plausible tbh

Give 'im Hell, Brad!

Art department just earned a bonus

Our pop stars continue to be both more accountable and more responsive to feedback than the editorial board of the New York Times

There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Requested a correction from @princetonupress.bsky.social. Let's see what happens.

😭😭😭

it took the Tories 15 years of fucking everything up to obliterate their party. Keir Starmer did it in 18 months

There’s a famous story where someone got him a nice bowl or decorative plate with the ring inscription on it and he 1. didnt undersrand why someone would buy something with an evil inscription on it 2. He decided it’d be fitting to to use it as ash tray

The guts of the story are not true given that the "guts of the story" are a fascist conspiracy theory

"Norman Rockwell was antifa," his granddaughter says. (Fact check: literally true.) www.thebulwark.com/p/norman-roc...

Say the line, @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social

IS THIS YOUR KING?

It's a biological WMD that is also somehow too harmless to justify any government action like, I dunno, wearing masks or closing schools.

Still unreported, should be investigated: ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

he was Raja Krishnamoorthi's totally quixotic primary challenger two cycles ago, lost like 70-30. now he's won over Justice Dems, the CPC, his local DSA chapter, and Delia Ramirez and seems to have a real shot at an affluent suburban district as an anti-ICE Muslim socialist. sure, why not! cool!

Or someone whose sewer line burst? Or is booking a hotel room for people visiting from out of town? This is so weird and stupid I have trouble believing it.

Nick is one of the worst MAGATTS out there. I know first hand his “I’m just curious” shtick that is disingenuous and dangerous.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

the last time someone had the greatest collection of scientists in the best university system on earth, and cast them out, the resulting scientific diaspora invented world-ending bombs specifically to to kill him personally they finished late so the bombs got dropped elsewhere

Holy shit, what a way to learn Pike is on here. Tell 'em again, king.

"Did I leave the stove on?" *ZORT* "Ah, good" "Where did I put my keys?" *ZORT ZORT ZORT* "There they are"

Go look up who Nick Shirley is and what he does, then delete these posts.

fucked up making salsa so bad i accidentally created a sort of tear gas experience in the kitchen. i didn't even know dogs COULD cough

FWIW if this is about Chad, they use they/them pronouns (there's a Bluesky labeler for this that I like)

The Colorado Labor Wars and the Tulsa Race Massacre have been erased, by action and inaction, from popular memory. So this is very much par for the course.

So - 1, goddamn right there's no duty to sing or play for fascists but 2 - whether or not this lawsuit holds water will depend entirely on the nature of the contract the artist signed, unfortunately

Seriously, are there any tax lawyers who will tell a widow at the end of their rope what to do? I don't know how to tell the iRS my husband is dead.

do you really want what you’re gonna catch with this kind of bait

yea ICE is very transparently the praetorian guard of MAGA and if the republic is to survive it must be smashed to a million pieces

Giving the people what they want!

VENGEANCE IS MINE AND I WILL REPAY

Muted someone for aggressive hubris and ignorance rather than arguing with them, please clap

[werner herzog voice] these prefabricated mortal pastries, dying for cheap spectacle
