I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

Last time I checked, the mayor of New York has no need to speak to a Canadian billionaire about housing policy.

Well, this is excellent news. I mean, 6 isn't enough to get all the bad ones out but it's a start. I note their preferred destinations with interest.

SCOOP: Alexander Smirnov, the FBI informant convicted of lying about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Trump any moment. jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-inform...

Cruel to get my hopes up

British accents by Americans and vice versa.

calamitous broads in your area

If Trump is in the Epstein files, and it turns out Garland knew and did nothing, I want him prosecuted for obstructing justice.

You have be really committed to starving people to do this.

This way of thinking needs to be stomped dead. If you can't prosecute your political opponents when they commit legitimate crimes because you're scared to look like you're being politically motivated, then there is effectively no such thing as crime for your opponents.

I think we can guess.

I shot the lettuce, but I didn't shoot the vinaigrette.

They look like those octopus things in the matrix.

Yes. How to accidentally order it in advance to collect at my local Lego store that I happen to be at at midnight...

Jesus. They won't countenance a public option so what the fuck are we supposed to do? Fuck you Lindsay.

Badgernomics 101. Education is a leading indicator of a recession.When times are good, people can skip it and get decent jobs, not go to graduate school, stuff like that. If there's a sniff of bad economic times ahead, interest and applications go up - particularly at 'quality' schools (R1,...

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkk. That's not good for a party that claims the monopoly on economic expertise and how government doesn't work for the market.

We need to chase Tubesteak from office.

Just seen a review of the new LEGO Enterprise D. I would've proofread all the elements.

Today is one of those days where I reflect that people my age are swinging off power cables, climbing mountains and traipsing through jungles. Meanwhile I'm simply delighted I was able to get both legs into my underwear without either falling over or pulling something. So much winning.

The Republicans are so keen on workers returning to the office it blows my mind they don't lead by example.

Oh ffs, you credulous tools.

only in the small print of this article do they make clear that the pensioners paying an extra £2,500 of tax would have to have “earnings over £125,140” I know many pensioners are asset rich but how many have income at that level?

Glad I don't work for Cornell. Really hope they don't need any state funding.

Yes.

Tulsi Gabbard is trying to take control over counterintelligence from the FBI. It's not going great. A scoop with @shaneharris.bsky.social

A thing about AI in higher ed right now is that half of us are scrambling to deal with the implosion of our information environment that broke reading/writing/source verification, while the other half is trying to achieve a massive institutional buy-in of the very thing that's causing the implosion

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Pretty much.

This is just funny. It's great to see Bloomberg get pantsed. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/06/c...

Nancy Pelosi’s trades over the years have been so good that a startup was created to allow investors to directly mirror her portfolio.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

Hes saying this while they are at dinner eating a full meal.

Ahahahahahahahahahaha

We used to be a proper country. With like dignity and shit.

Save Ellie.

This is a load bearing skeleton key to understanding the American right across the last 20 years

He’s saying taxpayers will step in and backstop their companies when the AI bubble bursts — as we have done so many times before. Privatized upside, socialized downside. The oligarchs play us for suckers.

This admin is speed running "how to make ourselves generationally unelectable."

Well, I've just given up on T-Mobile home internet, too unreliable and contended. FTH is go.

I'm pleased to announce the standing up of the 1st Ohio Volunteer Sandwiches.

Leaving quicker than diarrhea from an ivermectin user

See? The sandwich prosecution was a wedge issue. (This joke only makes sense if you've lived in downstate New York.)

Metaphor, much?

I'm against bailing out AI, crypto, private assets and endowments because the government is not a guarantor against all failure. And Republicans *are* responsible for missed paychecks and thanksgiving flights.

Release. The. Files.
