Modern car interiors: this is what they took from you

Look at my founding team Dawwwwggg, my economy goin to parasitize its own productive forces 😩🤯🤣

Are hard times creating strong youths??

Just spoke to George R. R. Martin. He admitted he’s never going to finish Winds of Winter but doesn’t want to let the fans down so he’s letting me take over the writing. We agreed there’s only one way the story can end: with an illegal drag race on the LA river basin

No matter who the new fed chair is they are getting a 1/5 on trust pilot from me

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird. (he drew a bird into a spectrogram, played that sound to a starling, and the starling reproduced it back to him with enough accuracy he got his bird drawing back in their call's spectrogram) www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCQC...

Internet Forums are alive and well, and I have tried to create the most extensive list of active, interesting or useful niche communities I could find. Here is that list, for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/best-active-...

One thing that feels crazy is that the AEI and Cato are practically part of the resistance now. And you kinda got to hand it to em for not following the rest of the US right into Peronism or whatever we call this

Toxic Masculinity is OUT! Ghost of Christmas Present Masculinity is IN! - Loud laughs - Roasted meats and spiced drinks - Hospitality to strangers - Living in the moment - Singing in public - Body positivity - Emotional generosity - Sick robes

blue sky stop logging me out on my phone challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

Hahahaha Everything is temporary, just the absolute minimal effort from the shining city on the hill

If the Canada and Mexico "deals" are anything to go by this is going to be a meaningless agreement so that one side can declare victory. But I predict 10% levy remains on many non headline items. Let's see!

Why are the Democrats greenlighting Trump’s crypto plans? My op-ed in The Guardian - hopefully Gillibrand and co. will realize there's nothing left to negotiate over. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Directly downstream of recasting college as a work credential than a site of learning.

The legendary investor Jesse Ventura once said "be greedy when others are fearful", and that, my friends, is why I've put most of my net worth into hawk tuah coin

probably enough countries will kayfabe some MOUs or vapor "deals" with the trump admin by July 18 for a climbdown on the 'reciprocal' tariffs. But if the the across-the-board 10% sticks (still big!), by the time there's a new admin it could have a constituency. Ratchet effect.

This is in a battle with X, "the everything app," for least likely to get access to my finances

Degrowth Donald, will every house in the nation subscribe to Adbusters too?

conspiracy mfs caught in the 20th C worrying about Bilderberg and WEF, meanwhile the elites are poaching their brains and hatching self-interested plans on their phones

Please try to give nature a break. Don't mow this month or year! You'll see your life will be fine with long grass.

Honestly a "curious" editorial choice from polymarket to blast their email list with an interview f. no-hoper Bernier days before the election, but I doubt it would do anything but siphon degen support from CPC.

It's time to build, I say, as I spend all day in group chats and crank quarter after quarter into the bored ape vending machine.

A lot of the worst dark / annoying UI patterns arise from growth teams engaging in goodharting. In SaaS, this often happens by impacting one metric at the expense of another, eg commonly an increase in trial conversion rate will also increase churn. You won’t see the churn part though …

@weisenthal.bsky.social @tracyalloway.bsky.social you called it, the US is about to win the war on Christmas

Cat attacking this book I found outside should I be worried about infohazard?

Feel like pure shit just want him back

Just had a really wonderful and efficient NHS experience. Sincerely, good job and thank you to all involved.

Look there's a lot to say about the centralizing tendency and basic efficiency-seeking killing DeFi for legit uses, but it also looks like imageboard goblins like this kid are going to speed this up because every platform is an overfull pinata for blackhats: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

i work at the factory that makes resealable snack pouches making sure the “tear here” label is too high above the ziploc thing when you rip it off. every day i leave work i get shot at in the parking lot by a half dozen guys wearing shirts tucked into jean shorts

Credible source alert!

Only the French have the courage and ingenuity to win in this sophisticated manner

It would be hilarious if Degrowth Donald accidentally broke the spell of consumerism in America by shocking the price of treats up. But do the people have the discipline and ability to reframe the good life amid dislocation? Not sure

This is such an important point that I've updated my chart, just for @jasonfurman.bsky.social

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

Every few years there is another flavour of these. They never work and it will not surprise me when the bad stuff on the hard drives gets found later.

Thank you to the @financialtimes.com for having the editorial standard to refer to the tariffs as "so-called reciprocal," which is exactly what they are.

The most powerful people and companies in the world have successfully orchestrated one of the most damaging and stupid self owns imaginable: www.404media.co/big-tech-bac...

It is so tragically funny that trump told everyone what his plan was and big business just decided to vote away a Goldilocks economy and the rule of law. And for what? Are the tax cuts gonna be worth all this? Were a few FTC officials not deferential enough to slop emperor zuck?

Love to read an article online in 2025!

If a hotel has all its attractions across multiple floors, can we please make the stairs functional and pleasant? Maybe this cuts into the number of rooms crammed in but cmon I shouldn't have to wait for the elevator for 4 min to go up one floor to the bar

they made an entire slide for the super hard Tradle answers

All rugs must be pulled and all rug pullers must be pardoned

I'm so rotted that google broke adblock functionality on chrome, a browser i have to use for work. The modern internet is really shockingly awful without an ad blocker on!
