the current director of national intelligence is a guy who two years ago received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an (oddly dildo focused) event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed Bath and Beyond never actually went bankrupt

Kevin Morby’s Little Wide Open

did nazi this coming

We need Iannucci with Tom Hollander and Nicholas Braun, please.

other people who are 6’3 and 238lbs:

Tokens for coding are generally a waste. Sure you ship faster, but the value return isn’t there. Using these tools to do things that build infrastructure for the company (the unsexy admin work) or things no one ever prioritizes (tech debt) is a better use and ROI.

My company literally has no token limits right now so I am scrambling to get as much admin automation done before that changes

Every @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social rapid response should just be this:

I would be remiss not to point out that "Tricking Milli Vanilli into performing a concert for a dictator" is LITERALLY a storyline from the 1990s 'Super Mario Bros 3' cartoon 🙃

Update to my previous post.

I feel like the fact that Milli Vanilli is playing Trump's 250 event is severely underreported and under-mocked.

Wrong to the point of malpractice

that is the face you put alongside every “pardoned a pedophile” ad

the challenge for talarico and dems will not just be repeating this accusation over and over again, but telling the story over and over again, so that voters understand the words "adam hoffman" as a synecdoche for the entire case against Paxton every time they are invoked.

Man, I cannot imagine being so out of step with the city you represent. To endorse someone who voted for the Laken Riley Act and to give gratitude to ICE is tremendously insulting to the community that stood up to a federal ethnic cleaning campaign made possible by these very imperfect votes.

*whispers* The idea that God is GENDERED is actually the really creepy position to take.

Also, sanity.

Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly. www.businessinsider.com/uber-coo-and...

ICYMI — I went through more than 1,100 lawsuits and found hundreds of Minnesota immigrants detained despite living and working legally in the U.S.

How did the Twin Cities miss out on hosting a training camp for the World Cup? Seems like the ICE/CBP issues must be a factor.

this would be the single stupidest thing the administration has ever even considered doing, which, to be fair, is quite an accomplishment in itself.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

What's currently going on with Murakami is hilarious. He's hitting something like .760 with 18 homers vs. four-seamers and -.090 against breaking pitches and guess what pitchers keep throwing him. Every pitcher is like, "Yeah, he hits four-seamers hard, but I'm built different."

Stolen valor? On Memorial Day?!

Whether you’re a denialist or a booster or just someone trying to be objective, Salesforce is going to give us some pretty clear answers as to whether radically shifting resources from human coders to AI will work.

This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state. When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut. That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea.

i don’t take myself seriously, so my first urge is to make fun of the fact that i made the Time100 Philanthropy list. but i really am honored. not just to be on a fancy list (w/my buds Messi and Shakira) and have my work seen, but to have gotten to help people in the place i love so much

Ayo on Wemby seems like a matchup problem.

this is one of the best subscriptions i have.

OpenAI is planning to sue Apple because the Siri integration with ChatGPT was so buried and clunky that it didn’t drive new ChatGPT subscriptions. ChatGPT suing Apple because they didn’t make billions of dollars from Siri integration is a bad sign for their revenue trajectory.

Imagine if any other administration etc etc

they're the Mets

Genuinely is there any introspection as to how this stuff doesn't work, like at all

Out like a light

Gawker once included a picture of me wearing crocs and cargo shorts in a dog park under the headline, “Dog Parks, White People Thrive in Cities,” and if anyone had a case for invasion of privacy, well, it wasn’t Thiel or Hogan smh.

Timberwolves playoff basketball is my favorite basketball

Usually the onion is funny but this is a miss. This has happened to my cousin Tebney & we have no recourse

Aaron's newsletter is good and I recommend it. The Edwin Encarnacion remix is important. And I am in awe of it.

i think about this scene from LOOPER a lot.

i can only speak for myself, but there is one thing he could do

Comparing people’s living conditions in 1901 to now is already silly & serves no meaningful purpose so let’s talk about numbers that matter to Alive People In 2016 Elon Musk’s wealth was 11 billion dollars. Today it is 800 billion dollars. Federal minimum wage in 2009 was 7.25. Today it is 7.25.
