Make a movie food: Michelin Star Wars

I'm not saying it should be their main issue, but I would love to see a presidential candidate add a plank to the platform saying: We're tearing that dumb thing down and rebuilding the East Wing just like it was, but with better wiring and plumbing. And we're going to make Trump pay for it.

It seems like the nazi tattoo might actually help Platner siphon off a bunch of MAGA votes from Collins.

Nope. Too old, too pro-gun, and now too anti-democratic. www.bangordailynews.com/2025/10/16/p...

A couple of months ago, it was funny to see "Snow: 0.0" in the climate report every day. Now it feels like a threat.

30 seconds into the Janet Mills zoom: we’re dropping an ActBlue link into the chat. On top of the 3 texts I’ve gotten today.

What if Skynet, but stupid.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

OpenAI is, to its core, a soulless, parasitic generator of toxic waste. Its implosion can't come soon enough. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/10/d...

"Altman said that ... he hadn’t expected the outcry." Every single line of this article makes it clear that Altman is an absolute idiot who has no business running a company of this size, with this much impact. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

tbf, I think anybody who chooses to work for Oracle should have their head examined.

Wait, did Steely Dan have a millennial renaissance that I didn't hear about?

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

I would really like to see the executives of tech companies held responsible for the entirely foreseeable damage their products cause, but I'm not optimistic. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This doesn’t affect me because I don’t, and won’t, use Windows, but every single adjective in there describes something I don’t want from my computer. Or my phone, so you can take a seat too Apple.

In the abstract there's no inherent connection between crypto and being a malevolent, transgressive asshole. But the two things run together with remarkable consistency.

Was he wearing them when he predicted that we would all be living in The Metaverse in the future?

(ending the debate) that's a wrap

I'm out. I wouldn't work for a company that thought this was a good idea, and I wouldn't invest in one either. This is a recipe for building a shoddy product with exhausted, unhappy, burned out employees. If you need your employees to work 72 hour weeks, you're a bad CEO.

although just as a general heuristic if any member past or present of 2 Live Crew bails on your event over degeneracy concerns that should be a gut-check moment for you

It actually is. I cynically expected this to be a grift, skimming off a percentage of donations made through their site, but it's actually just information about stations, the amount of funding they've lost, and direct links to their own sites.

Towering above the rooftops, the MS Zuiderdam is back in Portland today. Cruise ships are not human scale and we don’t talk enough about their visual pollution. Probably because we are too busy talking about their air & water pollution. #cruiseships #Portland #Maine 📷 @mswnola.bsky.social

The important thing to understand about the current state of affairs is that Andreessen hired a partner at the most influential VC firm in the tech industry solely on the basis that the man strangled a Black man to death in my neighborhood.

I don't know how any journalist could work at 60 Minutes after this. Or anywhere at CBS News, for that matter.

It's bad enough that the Republicans are actively trying to destroy every useful government program, and make life substantially worse for any non-white, straight, wealthy male. The fact that they are doing it in the stupidest possible way is just adding insult to injury.

What a rube.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

We're watching the country slip back into the dark ages, but at Internet speed. www.centralmaine.com/2025/06/24/b...

The International Court of Justice has a chance to do the funniest thing...

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it? You’re kidding.

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

Our current Director of National Intelligence:

it will get papered over, but trump briefing johnson and thune but not schumer or jefferies is another example of congress having essentially given up on any pretense of oversight — this would not be in any way acceptable to republicans if the situation were reversed.

All of this to keep his (Netanyahu’s) incredibly guilty ass out of The Hague

This is weak-assed bullshit. This is, for starters, a violation of the War Powers Act and Article 1 of the Constitution. If your response doesn’t even include the word “impeachment”, you need to fucking go.

At some point we're going to need to set up something like a sex offender registry, but for these guys. www.latimes.com/california/s...

He's going to use an AI allegedly trained on "the entire corpus of yada yada yada" to a) rewrite that same corpus, and b) retrain the AI on the data that it just generated? "It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe"

You can tell JD Vance is the first millennial VP because he's reenacting old Onion headlines

This is obvious nonsense and it's just tiresome to see them acting like credulous dopes after 10 years of this "two weeks" BS. I would love to see an honest story and headline, along with the editors' notes explaining what needs to be changed, and why, to make it acceptable for the Times to publish.

I don't know how anybody can believe that we'll be able to hold a World Cup and Olympics here over the next few years.

I said I would never root for the Dodgers. Apparently we've found common cause.

“SpaceX is happy to introduce its newest consultant, Michael Bay.”

He has said over and over, for two terms now, that people can't see stealth planes. I honestly believe he thinks they're invisible.

In the early 2000s I was on a flight from Denver (I think?) to Boston, far back in coach, surrounded by most of the New England Revolution. Taylor Twellman (arguably the closest they had to a celebrity back then) was not with them.

I guess Susan Collins is reporting people to ICE now? www.bangordailynews.com/2025/06/13/m...

Watching him work is like watching Greg Maddux or Michael Jordan in their prime.
