Hi, it’s me, your neighborhood robotics business guy, to inform you that if robots were actually ready to automate a process at scale, they would likely already be deployed

“How are you a socialist in an age of obvious abundance” is a pressing political question that was not resolved by union leaders and organizers in the 20th century

Ouch. Insider Adavantage jumping out of the plane

“It’s over, Anakin. I have won Ken Bone’s vote.”

Obama’s Cheesecake Factory decor joke is going to continue to get far more play in the media, days after it happened, than RFK Jr being openly racist. Draw your own conclusions about the press based on that.

Godspeed to Shopify guy on this day of mourning.

The fact they’re trying to October Surprise people on X (and maybe Facebook, idk) is the real evidence they’re cooked Friendos get out of your bubble

“Targoz”?

If you closed your eyes and just listened to this clip, you wouldn’t know the Rays are the home team

The competence of the authoritarian side isn't usually analzyed because the paradigmatic cases feature talented political minds — Orban, Chavez, Modi, Netanyahu, and (early) Erdogan. The US case is exceptional. Trump is a savant at controlling the GOP but a total policy idiot.

I don’t know about this. Obama doesn’t go to the hole anymore, so he’s pretty much relegated to the jumpshot. Meanwhile, Mamdani, an avid soccer player, has a quickness advantage and can keep Obama in front defensively. That said, I’ve seen Mamdani shoot and there’s no way Obama doesn’t win.

A major issue for theatre is that we lose parents for about a decade when they can't leave their kids alone to see a play. I have proposed on-site daycare options, more all ages productions, or anything to keep those people engaged. Babysitters don't exist so much as expensive sitting services.

one of the cool things about bluesky is that we have an ed that knows what's going on and we have an ed that does not know what's going on
