I'm not minimizing any of the countless other reasons he should be drafting his resignation. It's that he said this to a woman. In her workplace. In front of her colleagues. While she does her job. It's a disgrace. He owes her an apology, and so do all of his voters, frankly.

I really love watching him go on these affordability rants. That might actually be thing that opens a lot of eyes - you can lie to people about a whole lot of things, but trying to convince them that things are 25% cheaper now than they were last Thanksgiving is going to be a very hard sell.

I looked at my pill case. "Huh, I missed Thursday". Removed Thurs and Fri pills, looked at calendar, put Fri back. I guess it's only Thursday then.

The cruelty is the point.

There are a ton of settings in there - many of which most people should probably leave on hide (spam/scam/illicit/etc) I've turned them all to warn, because I want to see what it's trying to protect me from. I kinda like that they're all there, but default feels like it should be warn. (1/2)

you can just go ask crows stuff instead of asking chatgpt

This happened to me with a Samsung smart watch and I stopped buying smart watches over it. The lifespan of current gen technology is entirely too short.

Zohran Mamdani wins! He ran on an unabashedly pro-transgender platform, stood up for the most vulnerable, as so many have pushed for the Democratic Party to abandon trans people in order to win. Major win for trans New Yorkers - he has vowed for intense resistance to anti-trans Trump policies.

It took about 4 hours for the Teen Vogue fundraiser to hit the initial $20k goal. I think it's entirely possible that the market would support something like what OP suggests. I'd be thrilled to subscribe to Teen Rogue.

I will never be okay with it getting dark at 5pm...this is utter horseshit. I don't mind it being dark when I start work, but being dark when I finish is terribly annoying.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Still one of the fav things I've made

My halloween mostly involved sittig very still inside a 7ft inflatable hippo costume and standing up as kids got to the candy table. Pure delight.

It's going to be so weird explaining this to our grandkids around the burn barrel under the overpass. "And then he tore down the White House"

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

it rules that the dumb, venal idiots in charge of the country also can't stop themselves from gloating about all their dumb, venal schemes directly to reporters

I don't know what visual metaphor you need for the moment, but this should do it

Every ai video sucks because they’re never more than their prompts, you’re like ‘yeah that’s a video of a dinosaur eating chips whilst skateboarding,” but like that’s it - you could just post your prompt and it’d be the same. But every real piece of film contains MORE than just its script

The hole in a guitar is traditionally used to store soft cheeses and dried meats which are fed to the drummer when he does a good job

I have a sunk cost fallacy going on in my head - I'm 666 days into a Duolingo streak, but while I've learned a lot of words, I don't feel very capable of stringing them together, or accessing most of them. Duo is useful if you want to tell people that your camel has 3 green hats, I guess. (1/2)

Weird rollercoaster. Someone mentioned the word knolling, which made me do an image search. I had a rush staring at the beautiful grid of nicely knolled legos and art supplies and mechanical disassemblies. I breathed a sigh of relaxed contentment, but then I noticed how many of them were AI slop.

kids teacher just sent this home as part of an assignment he's doing and i want to smash every computer at the school

Hey, @jay.bsky.team. As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke. Having Link here is good for so many people. Please reconsider?

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

This is an excellent bit of advice from Dr Jane Goodall. What a wonderful message to leave behind. What a wonderful human being she was, I'm so sad to hear of her passing.

"America is back and better than ever!" - POTUS

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Recently built a new PC, and swapped out one of my monitors for a big 4k monitor. Kiddo saw the old monitor sitting on my floor. "Whatcha gonna do with that?" So that's why my kid now has a 3 monitor setup. :-D

Yeah, my primary domain is almost 26 years old. It can rent a car, I guess.

This is really good. I don't consume a ton of comics/graphic novels, but I really enjoyed this. Page 9 is probably my fav, but I love the style change for the daydream and the art in general.

Recommended reading: Rudolph Herzog's book about humor — what jokes were allowed, what jokes weren't, what jokes could get you imprisoned, what jokes could get you shot — during the Third Reich. It's sobering reading right now, as Trump attacks comedians, late night talk show hosts, and actors.

do you ever just want so bad to be the cause of someone’s delight but all you can do is make noise at them like a grackle

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.

I've been on this soapbox for most of my life now, but treating the unhoused with respect and helping them to get back on their feet *makes the world a better place for all of us*. Good on ya, Finland. I wish we had your empathy here.

If there's been one constant in my journey as an artist, whatever the medium: The material you need next is *always* on the bottom of the stack of art materials. This message brought to you by the tube of watercolor in the tray at the very bottom of the stack of trays.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

💯

Yeah, that.

Talk about living in *Interesting* times.

21.44 miles on the bike today. (3 sessions). New personal best. Everything is so pretty here, it sure beats working out inside a gym somewhere, or running laps on a track.

No notes

I rode my bike 4 miles yesterday, then did a very stupid hike that was well beyond my ability without taking enough water. Didn't finish, had to have Bean bring rescue (water and a car) to a different trailhead. Still managed 4.5 miles and 1,100 ft of descent/ascent. Still rode my bike today.

Take a bunch of baby portabellas, pull the stems, chop stems, add gruyere, gouda, parmesan, olive oil, lemon, garlic, wasabi, salt, pepper. Stuff the caps with the mix. Air-fryer at 175 for 8 min. Microwave remains of stuffing, mix with sticky rice. Plate caps on rice. Delicious.

Agreed. Not okay.

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Some excellent creatures over here.
