"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

Another great essay from Charlotte, with a kicker that I, a Cubs fan, laughed out loud at.

Sneak peak inside day one of the conclave

applying for jobs again

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

I have wondered if the New York Times has been acting as handmaidens of fascism because the paper's leaders find it appealing, but now I'm wondering how many people with prominent positions there are just genuinely stupid.

What's that? You wanted a complete reimplementation of the now defunct backend for your Zune? And you want it open source, cross platform, running on Linux in C#? Yes please github.com/ZuneDev/Zune...

Democrats: How can we go viral? (a pastor goes mega-viral for calling Trump a bigot to his face) Democrats: What if Tim Kaine made a BLT on Instagram Live

This refers to "rank and file DOGE staff." Ok, I'll bite. Who are they? Where are they? What is their source of funding? Who pays their salaries? Is DOGE a government entity? Which Congressional committee has oversight? Is it a business? Registered in what state? Is it a nonprofit? Is it tax-exempt?

i love the story about Elon lying about being good at a video game because it’s not the worst thing he’s done by a mile but it is maybe the most fundamentally pathetic

An appropriate day to exhume this all-time great Tom Fishburne cartoon

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

Meteorologists say the Los Angeles fires were caused by drought and gale-force winds. But a growing mass of X users suspect a different cause: DEI.

A front page for the ages.

I would absolutely not want an AI diagnosing me or giving me therapy right now unsupervised, but I would definitely be interested to have a competent human doctor consult one about me and validate whether or not it maybe had some interesting insights.

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are

Is this thing flipping me off? this thing is flipping me off.

Beloved murderer canceled after old tweets surface

CROW ON MST3K: He makes Ted Danson look like Gavin MacLeod! ME AT 13 YEARS OLD: haha

"Hey, Ma'am. Yeah, had a good Friday on social. Yes, Ma'am. Tree video did very well and we got to tell Mike Masnick to lay off the CO. Heh. Yes, I think he'll listen this time. You too, Ma'am. Thanks, much."

Shaved 5 minutes off my morning routine by brushing my teeth and riding the mechanical duck outside the supermarket at the same time

The human body is incredible. Right now, if I so desired, I could do 15 percent of a backflip and wreck my shit right here on the sidewalk

I have been on amazingly competent, kind, and empowering engineering teams, as well as toxic, self-serving, incompetent, and miserable engineering teams. All were at Amazon. It's a big place and spans the entire spectrum of great to awful.

Of all the founding fathers, Ben Franklin would immediately get this entire scenario

It cannot be overstated that the United States is the richest nation ever to have existed in human history and people voted for this because they were upset asylum seekers from oppressive dictatorship got work permits during the lowest period of unemployment since the 1960s.

We have no use for precision. We will shuffle the numbers until they comply. I just completed "Print Queue" - Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/5

the contradiction of trump is that he is a party leader who is indifferent to the fate of his party and its interests. this is an asset in a general election and a huge disadvantage in governing

that trump has real electoral juice does not make him some kind of master strategist. he was actively bad at being president the last time around and shows every indication of being even worse at it now

Seriously. Just try, for one moment, to imagine Elizabeth Warren saying on tv “I promise I’ll stop drinking if you give me the treasury.” Or a woman of color saying it about literally any job

the atlantic or whoever is not looking to be reasoned with when it posts "we should give every child a gun" or some such. they are click piggies. if you find yourself saying "mr. the atlantic, sir, this is out of hand" you are playing right into their click piggie hands
