Oh hey, he did an introductory AMA and I'm in agreement with about 95% of it.

All this practice yelling at drivers who nearly run me over in the crosswalk is about to pay off.

Ooooooo

So how does Virginia get in on this?

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

I agree with all of this except the part about having respect for either Kaine or Warner.

I gave my first campaign speech today and didn't vomit or pass out. Mission accomplished.

This week has been horrid, but I have caught a glimmer of light at the end of 2026. I have never been more annoyed at the Hatch Act than I am right now. bsky.app/profile/jaso...

I remember when the Onion used to be satire.

There is sort of a fix - Turning off reposts for your following feed also turns them off for lists. Not the best option if you still want reposts in Following, but it's something.

Did they just change lists to include reposts? If there's a way to revoke that, I can't find it.

I look forward to plenty of photos of the inside of SCIFs in the Pentagon after someone discovers how to trick the chatbot into revealing its secrets.

Hot ones but with booze, we are not deserving of your honor yet.

it's also just a wild accent to hear people get angry in. weirder than hearing a swiss german have a meltdown. just all these little flutes and honks on top of the rage

as a Canadian it is my solemn duty to inform you all that Heated Rivalry is not an accurate depiction of what it’s like to date someone who has spent the entirety of their formative years sustaining head injuries at 5 in the morning

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

if you told people 10 years ago that WWIII is going to start with the United States invading Greenland they'd have started checking your pupils with a little flashlight

So, question for local legislative history buffs: How often has it occurred that a state legislator has voted on the same bills in both the VA House and Senate because they jumped from one to the other in quick succession?

"Let them eat a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing."

It whips that not only is this guy absolutely going to get reinstated with back pay thanks to UNIONS but he’s already made nearly $1mil in a GFM which means many, many people are now incentivized to scream at Trump that he’s a pedophile

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

I suppose it's weird that the Verizon outage hasn't affected me at all, service was normal in downtown DC and nothing was amiss on the commute home.

CLOT CLOT CLOT CLOT

I'm guessing whatever crypto they're using to finance the place just plummeted in value and plastic letters are now on the value engineering table.

UPDATE: Jack Daniel’s parent co. Brown-Forman tells me it has nothing to do with CBS’ “Whiskey Friday” concept. “Jack Daniel’s is not involved in any such segment, nor do we have any awareness of the segment and any potential partnerships or sponsorships.”

New Spirit Animal has dropped.

Finally… news for MEN

Between midnight and 2am is certainly a choice, but what else is new from this ass of an administration.

New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources. Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

Post four TV couples you love (both actual relationships and profound yearning are acceptable)

The bitcoin bar opening on 7th st in the old Hill Country space is looking to be as stupid as one would think. Tempted to go in and order -99999999 beers and see if I strike it rich.

I will totally go see Die Fledermaus at the 9:30, fyi.

In the second season of Culinary Class War, anytime they use a graphic to point out an ingredient, the sound effect they use is the same one used in VH1's Pop Up Video.

I've had Your Only Friend on the back burner for some months and this is a restaurant that makes me angry I waited this long. I present to you the RPG - Char siu roast pork, garlic Duke’s Mayo, Cantonese-style Bok Choy, hot duck sauce Cacio e pepe fries with a crab forward remulade 1/2

Republicans: We are legally allowed to murder you. Democrats: Like hell you are. The Media: Language!

People who think that there are paid crisis actors protesting are out of their fucking minds. First of all, there are a lot of really terrible actors out there. Second, if an actor really did get a job as a protestor, people would know about it. They’d be hashtagging that shit.

A gentle request: let them work… for now or they can talk for hours 😉

We have to demand that Trump’s federal agents are held accountable for killing Americans just like we do when state and local . . . . fuck
