This might be the funniest and most horrifying thing I've ever read on Daily Kos. The horrifying bit is the last line. </clickbait> www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Introduce yourself with 5 artists you’ve seen at least twice: Ani Difranco Fairport Convention Grateful Dead Jethro Tull Kodō

Beyond a certain point, not be drunk anymore. I likes me some drink, but if I get past "pleasantly tipsy" it's no longer fun. And I start forgetting things, which I REALLY don't like.

I'm from the Boston area. Dunkin' Donuts sucks. Their donuts taste like nasty chemicals and their coffee tastes like stale cigarette ashes.

In no particular order: Monty Python's Flying Circus The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The Hacker's Dictionary Young Religious Unitarian Universalists

‪Introduce yourself with ten bands you wish you'd seen live: The Beatles (never mind that they stopped performing before I was born) Crosby, Stills & Nash Gryphon Horslips Midnight Oil Pink Floyd Shriekback Tempest U2 Yes

An analysis of the Secret Service et. al's response to the WHCA dinner incident, for all you armchair presidential security experts: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-quick-an...

This is awesome. The oldest espionage technique in the book and still the best. Click through for more details.

This is an amazing song.

in political comms, waking up to something like "she was a parttime yoga instructor who also runs a facebook group of 163 people who like old movies, but recent events have caused her to mobilize against you" is the equivalent of being woken up on a flight by the sound of someone starting a chainsaw

Hard times make good protest songs.

The Charles, obviously. I was even born right next to it. [prompt is, "reskeet this with your home river.]

Then-President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe visited my university campus once. I was riding my bike around the back of the Campus Center and saw an important-looking Black man being escorted to a limo by several obvious security men, who kept a close eye on me as I rode by. Then realized who it was.

The end of indoor public smoking being socially acceptable is up there with same-sex marriage and the end of the Cold War as one of the most awesome societal changes of my lifetime. "non-smoking sections" in restaurants and airplanes were a fucking joke.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar. (Or RHPS)

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Warning to the feds: if Trump sends soldiers to NYC, we have very varied sandwich options at our disposal. You will encounter a fusillade of bahm mi, BEC, gyro, chop cheese, BLT, doubles, lox bagel, croque-madame, torta and döner. Hell, half a Katz’s pastrami on rye could wipe out a couple of guys.

No, that’s monophonic. Monogamy is when a market has only one customer.

Man, it's been a minute since I did something silly like this

Slightly diminish a band: Maybe

Note to Democrats: Mamdani's victory is an object lesson in how to not be giant fucking cowards. www.readtpa.com/p/want-to-kn...

I didn't actually meet Noam Chomsky, but I sat next to his son in junior high English class and went to his house once when we were doing a project together. (Didn't really know who his dad was at the time.)

I'm sure I won't be alone in this, but suan la chow show from Mary Chung's. The chicken pagnotelle sandwich from Emma's in Kendall Square. (h/t @totient.bsky.social for reminding me of this one) Brunch at Johnny D's in Davis Square.

OK, when David Brooks of all people is calling for a full-on civic uprising, you know shit needs to go down and go down hard. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Robert Reich has a theory as to why Trump hasn't openly defied the courts (yet). robertreich.substack.com/p/my-last-re...

Okay, jumping in the meme pool. 1 like = 1 thing I love. Little good things add up, and that matters more than ever.

The thing that most upsets me about the murder of the CEO of United Healthcare is not that he was murdered, or that people are celebrating it, but that it could have been the catalyst for some real reform of our terrible healthcare system. But that ain't happening in the next four years.

Hi.
