A fun question. In 5 years time, what looks better? The US’s enormous bet & capex on AI? Or China’s equally enormous bet and capex on renewables?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Healthcare in America: hoping my A1C is elevated because Zepbound and Mounjaro are essentially the same thing, but the only one my insurance covers is for diabetes (which I don't have) and not obesity/sleep apnea (which I do.)

Hahahahahaha (In all seriousness, glad they ask, the laughter is only at my response.)

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

I’m “Blockbuster and relax” years old.

I could fund the government in less than a week if there was a swear jar in my car.

Waiting for all the breathless coverage about the all the people of color shifting blue in this election, since the shift to Trump a year ago was treated like a colossal re-ordering of the electorate that signaled the end of wokeness and progressive politics.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I live in good ol boy territory and tonight the only Democrat running for town council unseated an incumbent and all the good ol boys got less than 1000 votes. 🌊💅

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

is there a Balls Cheney

Eating pills for dinner, pharm to table.

Borrowing my friend's HBO and torn between watching this absolutely harrowing documentary about a devastating tornado, or a light-hearted comedy special. This is my dichotomy in a nutshell.

Rich people whining that they'll leave NYC if Mamdani wins is like when I used to threaten my mom that I'd run away from home if she kept forcing me to make my bed every morning so she'd open the front door and tell me to go ahead and I'd stand there for a minute and go back upstairs to make my bed

For halloween I'm being a 60 year old man on Hinge who's "open to children"

::flits around blueski correcting y'all's grammar::

mutual admiration is my kink. it’s rare, but it’s still out there

*gets an extra hour of sleep* Me: I’m still tired.

It's the most wonderful time of the year (only having to shave below the knee).

What I am saying is I have never loved a man as much as I love my bed.

I can't remember what this loser sounds like but I've been watching Parks and Rec so I just read everything he writes in Aziz Ansari's voice and it's sooooo much funnier.

I have never smiled at a man the way I just smiled to myself as I settled into my bed.

no one else knows that your mustache is ironic

*Slides note across your desk* do you wanna disappear into the Mariana Trench circle Y or N

My name is actually pronounced "Godzilla".

I hope Mamdani wins just so I can see more Ramy Youssef on SNL.

I spent $55 on Chinese takeout on Halloween and I will ride this train until Wednesday. The only thing I bought at the grocery store this weekend was fruit, broccoli (to steam to go with the orange chicken and rice) and lettuce wraps (to eat with the moo Shu pork instead of pancakes).

I don't want AI. I want to stop filling out my entire medical history every time I go to the same doctor

After doing nothing today except walking the dog, laundry, and binge watching Selling Sunset, I can confidently tell you that side parts are coming back and trends definitely come from the East coast.

Listen I'm falling asleep on the couch so I really need Vladdy to get up there and snack it so they can celebrate and I can get in my bed and snuggle my dog

Going honk shoo mi-mi-mi-mi-mi mode

How many people do you think have gotten stuck listening to Wrobleski at a party when he won’t shut the fuck up about crypto

if he had any strength left, I am sure he would riot

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

those of you who are afraid of aging, please understand that one of the huge blessings of middle age is arriving at this exact station

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown. Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Maybe this was why Trump got an MRI. scitechdaily.com/scientists-d...

At least six Bay Area restaurants are offering free meals for SNAP recipients during the Trump shutdown: www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...

my letter to the CEO, President, and COO of Services Corporation International, the owner of Dignity Memorial, which manages the cemetery in which my mom is buried that was being used as an ICE staging ground this afternoon.

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.

You can't satisfy me in bed, you're not 7 pillows.

I wore really sexy underwear yesterday and didn't even put a picture of my butt on the interwebs. The world is healing.

The correct call is safe, why are we taking this long to decide that?

Oh sure, when BATS hang upside-down to sleep, it's "cool". But when I do it, I'm "an idiot who got tangled up in a hammock".

More illegal boat strikes by the US, this time killing 14 (with one survivor) in four separate attacks off eastern Mexican coast. Once again, no evidence or legal justification provided. Bears repeating that these strikes are illegal, immoral, and ineffective

It's never enough sleep. Do not ask if I slept well because I just want more.

I put on the new I Know What You Did Last Summer as background while I work and I'm kind of pissed that it was filmed in Australia but set in fictional Southport when the real Southport of the original is right damn there.
