We wanted to understand the details of Trump's deal with Iran. So we talked to three unvaccinated UFC fans at a Wild Wings in Scranton.

A generation of children confined to exclusively posting on LinkedIn, humbled to share that they have been recognised as thought leaders in vertically integrating your mom's supply chain.

I SAID STOP THE CAR THEY GOT SHONGLES

the only difference between pop culture and poop culture is a vowel movement.

These should only be used for bringing outside food and drink into the theaters

Pinball report week 6: I managed to not be dead last in all four games, which felt pretty good because the other two people I was playing with are top-10 in the league (My rank is roughly 350 out of 400). Pinball is very high variance!

I do not understand why this is an ad campaign that makes sense to run on the MBTA.

it's fun that the full name is the New York Knickerbockers, thereby making the Knicks' name a nickname

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Yeah, coal employs like 40,000 people in the US. Kohl's, a past prime mid grade department store shambling towards bankruptcy, is somewhere around twice that.

Time for another round of remembering the gShoe training.

I don't know what everyone's complaining about. Just go to settings > features > worms, then change the "worms pouring out of my phone" toggle from "yes" to "maybe later"

the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Pinball week 5: Still 12th... but now out of a pool of 17 players, so not dead last? Overall at about the 20th percentile in the league.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

having learned that heterosexuality is gay from reactionary streamers, happy pride month to my fellow wife guys (a queer identity)

Dear mental health PPO: you keep sending me emails about anger management programs, like one email about anger management programs every couple of weeks, and it's starting to make me, you know I'm gonna let you guess this one

They're blocking the straits for Pride

At the store Mr. 13 and I were ogling "energy drinks" (he likes to see what has the most caffeine). I asked him if he understood the difference between energy and power (energy over time). He did, and realized that most of these would be better referred to as "power drinks". Success!

Arnold Schwarzenegger IS The Paywall

Republicans say James Talarico ordered a vegan taco. Democrats say that it wasn't vegan because it had both egg and cheese—doubling down on the cultural elitism that has cost them so dearly in recent elections.

Loud boom, seems regional. Thought a tree fell on my house, went outside and met a bunch of neighbors, started seeing reports from other parts of the city, other cities in MA, cities in RI.... The sonic boom theory is the most plausible I've heard so far, oddly like the thing in South Carolina.

the problem with the shittiest billionaires getting so directly involved in space is how much it turns off people who just want to be excited by space

Already preordered from @portersqbooks.bsky.social !

urban advocacy hot take: every big new residential / commercial / retail building should be required to operate one 24/7 publicly accessible water fountain, because my ability to hydrate on a hot summer day shouldn't be dependent on buying a $9 large iced decaf americano from some bougie coffee shop

I am curious about the effect that almost everyone I know, even people who are doing relatively well, thinks they would be more successful economically if they sacrificed their ethical principles and just became a grifter of some sort.

Pinball league week 4: tied for 10th place in a field of 11. Oof. Not a single good ball in all of the games.

Soda discourse: all artificial sweeteners are vile, I want nothing to do with them. Regular Coke tastes good but that much sugar is terrible for you. Drink unsweetened seltzer. Maybe Spindrift if you're feeling fancy.

Live your life such that you never become the subject of a video on the US Chemical Safety Board youtube channel.

I just saw this and, wow, that is a direct hit. “Imagine being the only kid DJT won't fly to an island for.”

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

you’ve heard of slopulism now get ready for alcopopulism

New experiment: A text file where I write down when and why I follow accounts, so that later I have any idea. I've been meaning to do this forever; let's see if I can make it stick. (On some platforms I might want that to be part of the platform, but it's not really suitable for atproto)

As someone who still lives on `find | xargs`, thank you, and I absolutely have this reflex.

/26 But I digress. This gets worse and worse. And even when we get a different administration, DoJ will be permanently crippled by this. You can’t get that trust back. There need to be severe consequences. Personally I think a lot of this is less truth-and-reconciliation and more pock-marked wall.

I miss suck.com, and am still haunted by the prescience of the post/article "Them Against Fire" in October 2000.

Does your local tech company understand consent? > Yes! > Maybe later

I think I felt safer when dental X-ray devices were firmly attached to walls, not masquerading as overgrown hair dryers with a power tool battery pack.

So there used to be an ancient Iranian water goddess named Anāhitā. She was around before Zoroastrianism became a thing, but when Zoroastrianism became the dominant religion, it adopted Anāhitā. Her divine epithet is "arəduuī sūra anāhitā," meaning "moist, mighty, undefiled." And now you know.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

I am pretty sure one is not supposed to ride a full-size motorcycle in the barrier-separated bike lane. Jesus.

So Badgers has been added to the BFI archives. Honestly this feels like quiite an honor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNqb...

One more time, the core question is whether we broadly trust the police to do a fair, safe, evenhanded job. All the rest of these are proxy fights over that question. Transparent, independent oversight is the only effective path forward.

On this day in 1994, “The Crow” was released in theaters. The soundtrack features The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Violent Femmes, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Rollins Band, Medicine, Helmet and more.

enough. i’m tired of github actions. it’s time for github consequences

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Porchfest, Somerville! (Open container law? What's that? Never heard of it.)
