You can’t spell “indignant variety” without “Ian Davey”

Hot tip: Also works for other elected positions.

Is it time to explain to Democrats how a primary election works again? 1. We find someone on the list of options that we like. It's not Rahm Emanuel. 2. We show up at our polling place in large numbers and (this is crucial) don't vote for Rahm Emanuel. 3. The nominee is not Rahm Emanuel.

Today is the 367th anniversary of when the Massachusetts Bay Colony’s Puritan theocracy executed two Quakers. www.history.com/this-day-in-...

James Carville emails: "We're getting hammered" If he's hammered, that would explain why he's been saying such stupid things lately.

The funniest possible outcome: Abdul El-Sayed’s opponent Mike Rogers found to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood🇺🇸

Pulling out the greatest hits. Must’ve seen a reeeeal bad internal poll.

It's the stupidity, stupid. Shut up and go away.

Yeah, Sundar. Do it, Sundar. You already did it with Lake America and Gulf of America, Sundar. You’re already a little bitch twice, Sundar. Be a little bitch a third time, Sundar. Be a Thrice-Great Little Bitch.

2yo: A ball! A ball! Me: A ball! A ball! A ball! A ball! Would you, could you, with a ball? 2yo poking head around corner: Yeah, I could.

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.

I said it then and I’ll say it now: Sundar Pichai is a little bitch.

Don't let anyone tell you that "you have to look at context, people weren't offended back then" because there were always, ALWAYS other opinions. Like this 1921 piece in the Savannah Tribune

Can we stop calling it Spooky Season? It's stupid.

these companies need to be strangled to death with the full force of the regulatory state at the soonest opportunity

Every US Electrical Outlet Explained. There are more than three?? Apparently there are more than 35 types of electrical outlets just in the US! [kottke.org]

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

This is a community note for the ages.

The Wishbone about Faust. I was scared to be in a room with a fireplace after that.

But without an Internet to broadcast one's opinions on, stupid has more of a confined physical blast radius. This may have perhaps limited the average person's total daily exposure of "other people's stupid." A dose-limiting effect. (One could still enjoy one's own homegrown stupid, of course.)

As you might expect from their backgrounds, the new Ms. Rachel album is the most Broadway thing that’s not from Broadway I’ve ever heard.

the problem isn't that the replicators are bad, it's that Starfleet's database of foods was provided by Sysco, not Sisko

Even if you think it does nothing for you? Who's in power makes a huge difference to millions of people who feed you. Mutual aid is great! But it won't, like, change the fact that slavery is getting more & more legal in this country. That's what laws & elections are for. So let's use them.

If all the buses are all selling out to beer companies the least they could do with the revenue is make the 11 run more often.

"Why do an MCP when you can just point a markdown to a local swagger yaml" is indeed a good, intelligible point in the year 2026.

rationalist: I predict there‘s a 10% chance that 100% of humanity is wiped out in 10 years actuary: there was already a 100% chance that 10% of humanity would die in the next 10 years utilitarian: it’s the same thing

What if all these “rogue AI” and “might end humanity” stories are actually a deliberate attempt to move the goalposts away from the much-more-real “dramatically worse enshittification” and “much more effective at persuading teen suicide”? Just asking questions.

For the Blade is not of the left, nor of the right, but falleth only straight down. In this is its perfection. Blessed are the future oversight committee members, for they have found the Moderate Solution™. And it is sharp, and it is gravity-powered, and it requireth no filibuster.

And lo, the people did cry out, saying "Our Government is broken, and our discourse is an abomination unto the ears!" And the Blade answered them, saying "Verily, I say unto you: why debate for forty days and forty nights, when one swift afternoon can suffice?"

It’s always projection. Always.

It's like every day I find another class action settlement notice in my spam. I'm going to get Venmo'd $5 so many times...

Meta Muse? More like Metamucil! If it won't call up and fight with Blue Shield for me, it's just shit.

The way to look at this is George bush is trying to help Donald trump retain power on the Hill
