Certainly appears moms with whistles won the Battle of Minneapolis.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

Not to be one of those people that just rents about a bad customer service experience online (totally just about to do that), but has Apple’s order support just been directly switched out to AI instead of real people?! I challenge any Apple exec to try and get support and not go insane…

SwiftUI Fundamentals is great!

Not a new album, but “Gary Clark Jr. Live” is one of the best live albums I’ve ever listened to. Probably one of the best albums period. One of the few live albums where you can hear the energy from the crowd with little subtle things that come through the crowd mics.

seeing how many people show up in jeffery epstein's emails makes me happy i never reply to anyone's email

absolutely insane that we’re all just expected to be working jobs right now

Baseball, like everything else in the US, would be way more boring without any foreign-born people.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up. "But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

When Stephen Miller hijacks the Major League Baseball social media account

Big day for the grifter-industrial complex. Big day.

The semantics-obsessed nerd in me can't help but point out that Kimmel didn't actually say the murderer was this group or that. So *IF* he's being punished for *THAT* line, it's not only FCC overreach, it's also just a failure of comprehension.

One of my favorite childhood memories was finding a baby snapping turtle and keeping it for a week or so before my mom took me to a pond before work one day and we let it loose. I swear that it turned around and watched us for a few seconds before we let it go.

I'M LOSING MY MIND, THE BEST AND MOST EXCITING YHING JUST HAPPENED, BABY SNAPPING TURTLES HATCHED IN MY YARD, HOLY FUCKING SHIT WOW HOLY FUCK

Guy who wrote a book saying his mom is a junkie slag and his people are lazy trash thinks that everyone else should be more grateful

An @afm-union.bsky.social and @sagaftra.org gal. An NFLPA guy. We love a union love story. Congrats Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce!

Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.

My company has been pushing us to use AI more to test out productivity boosts. Yesterday I used Claude and I was able to do 2 days of work in 1. Today I am losing that time back because Claude decided to wake up and become a blithering idiot.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

When The Muppets pay tribute to Ozzy’s passing you know he transcended all pop culture.

Why does it look like a clip of Benny Johnson talking to a version of himself from 10 years in the future?

same publication's Publisher Will Lewis, eight months ago, on why they wouldn't endorse a Presidential candidate:

Sorry it’s now illegal to talk about how millennials are trying to save the US from facism while Gen X votes for it over and over. I got a sternly worded, whiny email from a Gen X man On Here who is very offended I keep pointing out how much Gen X sucks.

how is this not 25th Amendment material

The party of “no more forever wars” that also conveniently got us into forever wars is now once again laying the foundation of another war that is built on lies.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It seemed to suck at the time, but I miss Sam Goody. And a functioning society. Related?

This woman literally shot her own puppy.

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

Seriously though how many people were involved in the recording of St. Anger and nobody said anything to Lars?! How did he himself not get annoyed at it by the 20th time of listening to takes?

I have my own type of vibe coding: enter a new enum value and rather than try to hunt down all the places I need to insert it in Xcode I just keep mashing on the build button to find the error locations until the compiler stops yelling.

WELCOME TO MLB'S RIVALRY WEEKEND! "Oh cool, so Cubs-Cardinals?" "Well, no..." "OK, but Yankees-Red Sox, right?" "Also no." "Dodgers have to be playing the Giants, at least." "Actually, no." "So what the fuck, man?" "You'll get Tigers-Blue Jays and you'll like it!"

I’m shocked nobody is talking about the part where Doom TDA goes from hardcore action to psychological horror and how it is done so well. Legit thought I was in a glitched room or something before I realized what was happening.

Decades of hearing the Christian right screech about “what are we supposed to tell our CHILDREN about GAY RELATIONSHIPS??” We met our friends’ baby the other day. I told our 2yo: That’s her Mama, and that’s her other Mama. She has TWO Mamas! 2yo: Oh, neat! *carries on* There, solved it for you.

Noem’s DHS would 100% cite the fact that someone was carrying $3000 in cash as evidence that they were a terrorist/drug dealer and should be deported. bsky.app/profile/jami...

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Huh, weird

Trans rights are human rights. No exceptions.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
