A not bad strategy is to just peter out during one of his rambles until the chamber is half empty. When you talk to the press just be like "I got really bored, he was always stupid but tonight he was super boring. Dementia maybe?" He'd be mad. Of course instead they're just kinda sittin' there.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

I love how the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the guy in charge of our national well-being, runs away like a cartoon character the moment somebody needs medical help. The other Trump gargoyles at least attempt to look concerned. Kennedy sprints off camera.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like “check out this dancing turtle I made out of divs 🥰”

We should be putting a gargantuan amount of money into solar and storage. War economy levels. It should be free to have a guy from the government solar your house up. Electricity should basically cost nothing.

It’s not yet known whether Waymo vehicles were deliberately targeted. This year the LAPD revealed it had obtained footage from a Waymo driverless car as part of an investigation, indicating that they are being used as potential sources of surveillance footage. Waymo has been contacted for comment.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.
