Tariffs on Greenland? WTF?

Is there a polymarket bet on a schism within the next few years?

This is weird. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Oh, and going to another friend's documentary screening at the Museum of the City of New York tomorrow. I really suck.

One of my buddies is into letterboxing (www.letterboxing.org) He carved this today to leave in an actual covered bridge in Vermont. I'm useless.

🤔

So, kids, just a few decades ago, we ate so much canned food that most of us had electric can openers. We dedicated kitchen space and an outlet to a thing that just opened cans.

Also, paralysis. I am going to repeat myself: this is a website full of neurotics. Individually we have a far above average risk of anxiety, depression and other mental disorder. Collectively we have maladaptive response patterns. Doomerism *feels* like motivation, but it in practice is not.

obviously happy to be on this list, but lots of incredible texas people here too, including @oliviamesser.bsky.social and all the fine folks at @texasobserver.org

Some good things can still happen.

The digital whiteboards they use on TV suck so bad. Huge lag, parallax problems, bad controls. It seems like this should be a solved problem.

Everyone who is left of "center" (whatever that means) needs to get their shit together and toe the line or we're screwed. I actually have confidence that's going to happen, but just shush if you have thoughts about left vs. left right now.

Totally forgot there's a Cure Unplugged.

This is true - and I'm personally not happy about the $ tag - but the cost was almost zero. Not an unusual/rational product owner decision.

Random pic from my camera roll. Not sure what was going on here. The Amish were occupying Wall Street?

what a legend lmao

NYC is going to be this century's Second Battle of Franklin.

problems with the plan aside, it's… not a plan. it's a plan to maybe make a plan.

FWIW, most of the theoretical nullification I've seen has been grand juries. There is no voir dire for grand juries.

COVEY: 🚨 “.. Ten months out from Election Day, it’s increasingly clear that Democrats are in a strong position to win control of the House this November.” @cookpolitical.com #midterms www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/hou...

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

This has happened a fair amount in NY/NJ. It's not clear what political effect it's had. Lander vs. Goldman might be a test. Lander has the lead in the first polls, but it's very early. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/18/d...

this site is like a bridge crew for a Kobiyashi Maru scenario who is absolutely furious at the person playing the Captain role for not "winning" "we're all going to fail out of the Academy because you couldn't kill all the Klingons! you fucking moron!"

Could it be this? people.com/donald-trump...

Not the point, but why do they keep holding press briefings on this driveway?

One of the most fundamental problems for dealing w/ ICE is the GOP provided years of ICE agent funding in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” No govt shutdown will end that funding stream, and there aren’t 2/3s votes in each chamber to rescind the funding & override a veto. Means resistance is what we have.

People getting angry at this post seem to be reading Walz saying “What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets” as a scolding about avoiding bad political optics rather than as a warning that Donald Trump wants violence in the streets

Just based on the small amount of time I've spent in Maine, I don't think they'll like this very much. themainemonitor.org/portland-lew...

I guess these smooth brains think Minneapolis has some special meaning because of George Floyd, but that would appear to be severe miscalculation.

Thinking about taking a pure dev job for the first time in about 25 years.

Looks like things calmed down tonight. Who knows? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

It's horrible on many levels, but this also just seems like a total public relations disaster.

Huh. I'm not sure anyone who knows me would say I'm a techno pessimist.

Bars came on for an hour but calls didn't go through. Now back to SOS. Concerning.

OSINT channels are indicating something big happening in Iran tonight.

Dragon has undocked from ISS at 2220 UTC with the Crew-11 astronauts

My NYC Verizon phone has now been in SOS mode for 5 hours.

Vermont really knows how to pick senators.

I'm the fleeting moment expert. I wish we didn't have to wear suits every day, but man that moment is golden.

There's no actual standard for what's impeachable other than what will pass the house. Saying X is impeachable is meaningless.

Shut up - eat your piece of broccoli and be happy about it.

It's crazy to look and listen to these two and think "Biden not competent"

Bitcoin was invented 16 years ago. If crypto provided any utility beyond buying drugs online, creating a new form of gambling or indulging Libertarian anti-state fantasies, it would have broken into the mainstream by now.

I DM'd him on Facebook to tell him his name had been released, and he may want to private his socials. His response was to change his PFP to this. Absolute king shit, gives zero fucks

Smells are good too. This drove NYC nuts for months. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_s...

I love a good mysterious sound story. www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/w...
