You’re right - I’m probably not a very nice person. I suppose I must seem like a real jerk! But that doesn’t change the fact that there’s simply no credible evidence that the 2024 (or 2020 or 2016) presidential election was hacked.

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Your theory is that we should tell them they are smart for being racist because if we don't they will feel smart when they are racist?

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

I made a Bsky content manager site because of Requests and I wanted it. You can: • import your history • search w keywords, dates, # of likes, replies ... • find, delete, or export things individually or in bulk • download official backup (.CAR) • some basic stats :) I CANNOT RETRIEVE YOUR DATA

Nobody who spouts this position on European politics has had a single solitary conversation with a center left European about immigration.

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"

people throwing a fit over the Jackson stay has the same tone as the people outraged at anyone pointing out that the vast majority of the Gaza fundraisers were scams

you can honey nut anything, not just cheerios. It's illegal but you can do it with a special kit

It’s no walk in the park to serve in Congress, and I don’t begrudge Golden for stepping away. But it seems likely that his polling numbers among his own constituents factored into the decision. Favorability: 16% favorable | 41% unfavorable Deserves to be Re-elected?: 26% does | 57% doesn’t

This might be read as dooming, but it actually gives me hope. We, as a society, *can* just all decide to call this all a load of horseshit and get rid of it. It's not impossible. There was a time before all of this, and there will be a time after it.

KBJ threaded the needle thanks to CA1’s unfinished business. -if she denied the admin stay, the full SCOTUS woulda stepped in to override her. -if she immediately referred the case to the full Court, they coulda dragged feet. -instead she boxed them in to act quickly once she does refer the case.

Now this is gerontocracy I can believe in.

I think this bag is fake. Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides. This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

I know that this is just who they are, and yet this new talking point where they try to blame health insurance profits as the reason why they're blocking ACA credits is stomach-turning in its bad faith.

Millennials and their avocado toast have gone too far

rosen is one of the moderates who sincerely wants a bipartisan deal, her being this angry is a good indicator of where they’re all at

It all makes sense when you look at this simple graphical representation of who is providing services to whom, which companies are investing in other AI companies who are in turn leasing hardware from another company and ... oh, I think I pulled something ...

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

every time you think the new WaPo editorial board can't embarrass itself any more, they manage to find a way. Left: 'Texas gerrymandering is no big deal!', from August. Right: 'Maryland gerrymandering is an affront to Western civilization!', from today.

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

10/10 take. No notes.

Love this Pelosi anecdote via @semafor.com www.semafor.com/newsletter/1...

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

Selective Availability was in place until 2000. And basically right after it got shut off, geocaching was invented. Because you weren't restricted to accuracy of "within some unspecified number of yards" of a specific location.

NVIDIA: we make the chips everyone needs for the ai revolution the market: impressive, very nice Monster: we make femboy juice the market: "Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh, my God. It even has an embossing."

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

It is insane that Johnson and Thune are making Jeffries and Schumer look like competent, driven leaders.

Burt Meyer, a Chicago toy designer behind classics like Lite-Brite, Mouse Trap, and Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, died Oct. 30 at 99, leaving a joyful, generations-spanning legacy.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

Much like how the numbers show that normies prefer The Algorithm™ over a chronological feed, I suspect that they also prefer Google's vibe-based search to verbatim.

Haha, this from the New Yorker is getting passed around the math dork community. I did a comic about this kind of thought a few years ago: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/commut...

Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

Haha yesss. Japanese copyright law doesn't fuck around. Since I get challenged on this a lot: U.S. and Japan are both Berne Convention signatories, meaning the copyright is recognized between countries. They CAN go after American companies. And they are. And I love it. variety.com/2025/digital...
