IDK man if you want to drink a beer that tastes decent but comes with a soupçon of racism Yuengling is right there.

Good demonstration of an important truth about AI, which is that the tech goblins are not doing it because it’s cheaper, they’re doing it because they are ideologically opposed to the whole concept of paid labor

that dumb article about miller lite (which sucks even by the standards of watery american beer, of which i am a big fan) would have been perfectly fine without the totally pointless jabs at the “american professional class”

no one’s judging you for your fucking beer, you dork, they’re judging you for being an asshole who cares enough about it to take up column space that could’ve been used on something more interesting

Anyway it’s funny for anyone to use “Soviet” as a reference point since something like 40% of the US population was born after 1992

hey re: world historic events, just let me know if somethin changes. i'm not interested in stuff that almost happened or whatever. im busy

this is one of the dumbest things about that dumb piece, the idea that working class people don’t drink “fancy” beers is fucking absurd if you actually know any working class people, that’s an idea that’s at least two decades out of date and was wrong from the beginning

"who was president from March 2020-January 20, 2021?" is one of the most fiercely contested questions in American politics

"some of you just want to be mad at dems" no i just very strongly remember the horrified feeling that accompanied the realization that the president was sending people to a literal torture camp and democratic leadership was listening to the wing of the party telling them to "ignore the groups"

look normally I don’t care about language and particularly slang getting misused or whatever because language isn’t fixed but. that’s a hefty accusation to throw out there and shouldn’t be done lightly. so know what it means before using it.

okay hi Americans I don’t know who else needs to hear this but ‘nonce’ is not a catch all insult for someone you dislike. it does not mean dumbass. it does not mean asshole. it means paedophile. that’s why we call him Prince Nonce. thanks for coming to my ted talk

I’ve called a few things 20-something-coded behavior recently, but this, getting mad at imagined snobs and claiming enjoying an inferior product makes you somehow superior, is the opinion of a 24 year old man.

this is a heretofore unseen level of self-hatred and pretension. my dude just be normal and enjoy a miller lite like everyone else!

I think there’s something kinda late Soviet about how America just doesn’t believe in its own political project anymore.

God, it rules so much that he skipped his son's wedding because he was so busy, only to sit around making posts about Hulk Hogan.

I loved this Mark Daigneault quote during the season, it explains a lot: "We're actually not a team that wants to find rotational stability in the regular season. We're trying to create variability... It puts guys in situations where they have to adapt... which we think is good for the playoffs."

I had the news on randomly for background noise on Jan 6. I remember looking over at the TV while cooking because the pitch of someone’s voice changed in a way I understood as controlled terror. I will never stop telling you it’s a miracle half of congress wasn’t slaughtered that day.

In 2024 voters needed to hear about rights and law and democracy too, and ignoring that in favor of only the same old stuff was a massive error by the status quo centrist class. ”Strategists“ like Third Way, centrist pundits and D leaders screwed up. Just ask Jared Golden.

Me dying of a snakebite: Give me the anecdote, quick! Friend: Uhhh the other day I went to the bank and someone in line had the weirdest haircut.

I guess this marks me as one of the decadent professional class or whatever, but being a professional writer and not knowing the difference between anecdote and antidote is fucking hilarious

We all literally, LITERALLY just watched NASA fly four absolute all-stars the farthest any human has ever been from Earth and back flawlessly, and yet we're still continuously forced to pretend Musk's bullshit catastrophe factory is the future of human space exploration

The world-famous bathing ponds will remain Trans+ inclusive, after councillors accept proposals brought forward by a vote of 38,000 members. Read more: https://shorturl.at/5uSl3

jaxson dart sounds like it came from a white supremacist name generator

Well, that clears things up: • Iran FM spokesperson: “We're very far and very close to an agreement.” • US Secretary of State: “There might be some news later today. There may not be.”

most people did not ask for and do not deserve anything the trump administration is doing but some of these motherfuckers invited the leopards right in the door and laughed at everyone who said they were gonna eat people’s faces and, well

It's great to watch high stakes basketball between two teams that clearly deeply dislike one another despite one of the team's leader acting all aloof about it. League needed this real bad. I thought the Old Heads were blowing smoke glorifying the 'we hated each other' era but I get it now.

someone should project a real time slide show of trump’s online posting at don jrs wedding

Deleted a bunch of posts because I made the mistake of assuming some online data bros know how to read words. My b.

Her hate of trans people has absolutely consumed her in recent years. Like look what she's putting out on her official congressional account: weird, unprovoked personal attacks on Sarah McBride. It's not normal to do that. It should not be normal, at least.

Go fuck yourself @gluesenkampperez.house.gov

How are you bringing in the weekend? The president of the United States is posting about building a messianic golden defensive force field around the White House and annexing Greenland

Every time the chart bros rear their heads I yet again say a small prayer if thanks that I didn't pursue economics further. Absolutely some of the narrowest minded thinking.

Want to pass a new Voting Rights Act? It’s not going to do anything if, eg, Neil Gorsuch thinks it’s unconstitutional. A new Women’s Health Protection Act? Same. Climate change? Immigration? Antiwar? Inflation? DOJ independence? Unconstitutional. Court reform is a basic issue for everybody!

Happy Friday Alexandria! We're debriefing last week's public hearing, getting press-ganged into naval service, and taking a melancholy walk along the Thames in this week's issue of ALXtra with @oconnell.bsky.social:

“It’s the future… adapt or die… get on board or get left behind.. etc… etc…” www.gadgetreview.com/starbucks-di...

I would like everyone to know that "A.i." comics are for losers.

If we’ve learned nothing from the past 10 years it’s that people doing good things for self-interested reasons > people not doing good things at all. You don’t have to change bigots’ minds you just have to make it too embarrassing to be bigots in public.

I already have to check search results to see if they're trustworthy, why would I want to add another level of untrustworthiness to my searching, my time on this planet is short enough as it is. "Oh you just have to prompt correctly" - OR, I could just fuckin' do a search, I spent 30 years on that.

BREAKING: Federal judge dismisses the case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia in Tennessee. Opinion: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

He was at Mar-a-Lago when he announced the start of the Iran War!

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

BREAKING: Judge Waverly Crenshaw dismisses indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia based on selective and vindictive prosecution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And to be clear I’d be less critical of this kind of rhetoric if @chrismurphyct.bsky.social or any of his colleagues had a written plan to do Nuremberg 2.0. There are only ~250ish people who have the power to spell that out in legislative language and he’s one of them.

Why grant the premise like this? Say you’re going to nuke all this shit the second you’re back in power, not just for substantive reasons, but to create chilling effects around compliance.

Google search now treating search strings as interactive chatbot prompts first and search strings as an afterthought, then:

In 2016, the UK Government at the time issued travel advisories warning of multiple US States attempting to put trans bathroom bans into effect. In 2026, the UK Government has issued instruction to service providers and employers to have a UK-wide trans bathroom ban.

I can't believe how many politicians are saying "let's ban trans people from public life, but in a way that is respectful". Are you fucking thick? Who is this for?
