Matt Smith is really brilliant. Austin Butler was fine.

Caught Stealing was super fun for this Gen X NYer. Carol Kane as Bubbe! I don't think non-NYers will get most of the film.

Burning up tokens on Opus 4.6 extended. 😬

This is honestly some crazy shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/b...

I'm mostly a free speech absolutist - when it comes to the government, and I get the idea of the right to anonymity, but it's kind of a new untested concept. In any other era, your neighbors totally knew what you were up to, but the government did not.

Unmask all these pricks.

Literally 2 seconds of processing:

My god. How in the world did we end up in a situation where Massie, Paul, and Taylor Greene are the most clear eyed people in the room? I am standing here beside myself.

It's so weird to work for consumer device company and be able to inspect the MQTT JSON payloads that are hitting the back end.

It should be 5%.

The idea that a .5% tax on a >$5M pied-à-terre in Manhattan would be objectionable or would damage the city is totally absurd.

This is shocking! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE agent tells the New York Times they were nervous showing up in Minneapolis and how they travelled with “girly suitcases” to not be detected. A Senior ICE official details how officers would block in and kidnap United State Citizens. Gift link in next post.

lets go back to worrying about piranhas, quicksand and the bermuda triangle is what i am trying to say

In what universe is this remotely accurate?

I really hate how fucking frequently US news media uses "feud" as a descriptor for Trumps attacks on others, implying a mutuality that isnt actually there. The Pope isnt in a "feud" w Trump. He is speaking out against war & for peace, as all Popes do. Trump has decided to take that personally.

analogy for the America brained is like if the Dems lost to Trump four times in a row and then ran Mitt Romney to save the country and won crazy supermajorities and also Mitt Romney was named Johnny America

Remember kids: It's impossible to use this image too much.

I cannot wait to absolutely wreck Trumps shit in November

Why is Jack White so mediocre now? It feels like Nashville is a place that good musicians go to just to retire and meld with blues and alt country.

Physics is cool. Like, you can predict and measure all of this in advance.

Look at that! Splashdown!

Unbelievably gorgeous. That pic right before splashdown is one we'll see the rest of our lives. Right out of Apollo.

That chute switch was DRAMATIC.

Thank god, parachutes.

This splashdown is enthralling.

Wow. To see it visually like this.

I like AOC. I don't think she's super electable, but let's nominate her and get this over with. Or Mamdani if you'd prefer. Whatever. There's never been a more favorable general for dems.

But Biden (a famous stutterer) slurred a few times in the debate. He also slipped up on a medicare reference.

I confirmed these posts from @brandonfriedman.bsky.social. If you’re in my relatively small circle just save yourself the trouble, do not watch it. The president has lost his mind.

My god it's Friday.

Do new things jibe or jive? I know what my anwer is, but Eligish evolve pretty dame fast.

This is such a much worthier and immediately profitable goal than going to mars.

Whoever creates the first practical pill sorter/dispenser will make a trillion dollars. (they exist but they are not practical)

Claude can actually be pretty fucking funny.

One time, you can say it’s luck. Twice, you can say they took a gamble & it paid off. 3, 4 times, that’s a pattern & someone is leaking privileged information & making money. You have got to investigate this seriously.

The prompt finally finished with this. Is it hallucinating poorly about Luddites? This is wild.

Same prompt. Hoo boy.

lol - I've sent Gemini into a total tailspin. Pages of this.

Possible causes aside, it's basically impossible to imagine a position that that this admin and the contemporary Republican party has taken that's out of line with Putin's agenda.

We foresaw the population effects of the baby boom, but I don’t know if anyone foresaw the wealth accumulation effect.

Holy shit. It’s only 30% counted and no one expects the dem to win because MTG won reelection in 2024 by 30 points. But holy shit.

lol - "not a fan". She passed 50% of all impeachments in 250 years under a single speakership. This is looney talk.

In the Christian world you get to choose between two flavors of idolatrous nationalism

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."
