Trump did this
I’m dying. Michelle Obama tried to do something nice and cute for the kids helping them stay healthy and she’s being put into comparison with a guy who believes people can target diseases by race and wants to ban life saving medicines!
Brendel if we let a cop live in every home, we may have a decrease in overall crime. Brendel please set another place at the table.
I wasn’t running it in the Python process. That was my issue.
I hate that I can’t even think of another reason besides “this somehow might help him legally get out of paying in time or money for his past crimes. It’s always a “Chekov’s Random Note” with these weirdos.
It’s been years. I’m going to do it this year thank you for the reminder.
Excellent flick. Shoutout Michael Shannon!
Mamdani exudes sunny optimism while Vance is the most personally unpleasant politician since Nixon.
“And no, YOU have to prove to ME that we HAVE NOT recreated consciousness.”
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
Thank you sir
Yeah you’d need to hire thousands of well-paid, well-trained people to moderate and provide 24/7 help- *group of executives throw lettuce and tomatoes at me. I fall to the ground and am buried in a pile of thrown food*
On one hand, I despise the divide and conquer strategy that we see all around us. On the other hand, I want to respond to every future FT article/post with this headline/imagw until all the FT-ers gang up on, and bully, the people that released this.
Bluesky needs a feature that appends those last 3 sentences to your post at no extra character cost.
Moronic “There are 2 types of Americans.” These people are unserious.
I know you said exactly what it was going to be, and you were right, and I’m unsure why I felt the need to watch, but I did watch and it was somehow more annoying to hear how he phrased it.
Really just a group of undergrads saying “300M rows isn’t that much dude.” Probably talking about what hardware they’d need to move it. Shared victory cigars after their Python script ran under an hour. No concern for the actual difficulty in handling it.
Does anyone know what happened between May and August this year?
This is what the bosses were voting for when they voted for Trump, and why they were aggressively putting out stories about how bad the Biden's 3% unemployment economy was. If you're a worker and you helped them push that narrative, congratulations, you are a dupe:
This article just reminded me of this old tweet
Imagining one of them like “It’s fine, I’ll read the docs on brake pads tonight and have it fixed before standup tomorrow”
Just a random follower here saying: sorry for your loss, thanks for sharing, you’re right about sharing, and I hope your easier days outnumber the harder days.
trump very clearly sees any attempt to hold a criminal head of state accountable as a threat to his own standing
i think it's basically telling that the Mamdani campaign is basically the economic focused campaign that pollsters say voters want, but it doesn't code that way because his proposals are well to the left of the status quo
Thank you New York City for making the #ZcavengerHunt a reality 🙏
Beat me to it. This times 100. People working on Sunday aren’t stupid; they know what the weekend generally entails for a lot of people.
I’ve worked hourly and salaried positions on every day of the week and at no point was it normal for us to go “wtf why are people out playing on Sunday??”
Hell yeah
Relatedly: these people get that critics of that government don’t think it’s just “lame,” right? That’s the through line I’m picking up here.
like the republican campaign said she fucked her way to the top and she allowed immigrants to devour peoples pets and we’re debating whether she overused the phrase birthing person in her stump speech quoting angela davis, a thing that never happened
this does not seem difficult. If there is no reported justification other than one that is patently flimsy in light of the available crime data and he is deploying forces to blue cities, you can say that the flimsiness invites other explanations.
27 Spider-Mans pointing at each other, holding papers.
TW’s reasoning is the kind you arrive at if you’re someone who lives in direct opposition to the internet rule of “you don’t have to post about everything.”
Game on.
No ownage, totally get it. Best of luck in the hunt.
Man is social and political and so…uh…it’s absurd to think about moral equality and individual liberty among them?
“The idea that all of this happened because, like, twelve professors at Berkeley used “Latinx” on their syllabi is just detached from reality, from my point of view.” @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social In full form www.thedriftmag.com/politics-is-...
the city I live in is occupied by armed federal agents checking people's papers at random public transportation stops and people are still doing this
I'm honestly not sure what to do about the media consensus that Democratic politicians are responsible for everything ever said at an obscure academic conference but Republicans are not responsible for the rhetoric of Republican presidents
It just will not land until people see the graph, sorry. This will continue.
Not asking you for this but I think we need a visual graph for this. Showing how it’s like, the top 10 republicans talking about Cracker Barrel (big bubble on the graph), but only 3 non-affiliated posters commenting on the SS jeans.
“is anyone actually doing this” is the one question that it is apparently verboten for most political commentators to try to answer
Am much happier since dropping it.
i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
these people should never be allowed to show their faces in civilized society ever again
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout. On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar. This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media. Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵
I don’t have the time to do the back-and-forth between “is this an earnest pro-GN account or an attempt to make GN’s supporters & ‘team’ seem annoying.” I’d like to skip to a time where we can respond to these by assuming the worst and calling them out as right wing accounts doing the latter.
ok so the times witnessed reporters receiving cash from Adams people three times at mayoral events and sat on it for over a month but couldn’t pass up a hot tip from a neonazi about Mamdani’s unsuccessful college application for long enough to check if the neonazi had already been identified
“We said that we **don’t care** if you die, not that we **actively want** you to die!”
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
Doing the baptism dunk in a barrel of syrup
It only takes one success to trust it forever after.
Silicon Valley Tech bros have been preaching transhumanism / biohacking / "radical life extension" for an exhaustingly long time. Now they run the government, the cure for cancer is right in front of their faces, and they are just...shutting it down? Why?? This could be your moment, tech bros.
Vox not vice but you get it
Exactly, because consultants famously can’t understand the “true” image of enterprises that hire them. “What if VICE pivoted to video?” or “What if we sold pizza at McDonald’s?” or here, “What if the Dems, who purportedly accept all people, attacked the GOP, that doesn’t, using the GOP’s premises?”
The authoritarian shit is bad on its own, but let's not lose sight of the fact that this Texas law enforcement officer couldn't keep up with a 61-year-old out for her morning walk. Like the Nazis, these people are evil and pathetic at the same time. Don't miss any chance to mock them as losers.
Plays into right wing framing too, which is why it’s DOA. Regardless of your political leaning, you can smell the desperation here.
Praying for a time after this where we get back to a more “formal” style of race where candidates have to disavow this stupid shit if they actively engage.
Cuomo's new campaign strategist is a Trump supporting right winger
Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
My favorite line from the piece.
They didn't want Biden and Harris to win, but they do want Trump to win and rule us. So they use headlines, social media posts and push notifications to spin for him, especially around stuff like economic sentiment.
This is a great graphic: all of the studies with a dot in the corner were conducted by the Geiers -- one of whom, David Geier, practiced medicine without a license
As a supporter of Cuomo, he probably thinks we’ve been too easy on a certain group of people for way too long. As a supporter of Cuomo, he probably doesn’t realize that he’s in that group.
Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C. www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
Ok this is the first time that I now think this is working.
If you had to work for it, which character build you going with? Gladwell “just stating the facts/stats that line up with Billionaires Rock” is tempting. Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Lebowski could be fun even if demeaning. Ghoulish journalist could work. GrindSet podcast worshipper is a lot of work.
Seems like a majority of us are not prepared enough to internalize different forms of causality. If DT whips up people on J6 to murder people, well he didn’t hold the bat. If DOGE prevents millions from getting things they need to live, well they didn’t pull a trigger. List goes on.
What a concept! To the top of my “to read” pile.
If BW would simply give a definition of “our country” I think we all may be able to agree and settle this!
Incredible
I put in my own order for food, I scan and bag my own groceries, I scroll past 30 fake products on Amazon to find the one I actually searched for and when exactly is any of this doing any good for anyone who actually works for a living?
A.I. is popular because it gives you the experience of being a boss: you get to give annoyingly specific instructions about how to do something you don't actually know how to do yourself, and then claim credit for the end result.
Incredible amounts of Not Mad here
If "masked dudes jump out of unmarked cars to arrest people while telling onlookers to shut the fuck up and claiming liberals ruined the country" doesn't convince you that DHS needs to be eliminated as an organization, idk what can convince you.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard makes me feel like a character in a Brontë novel. All signs point to me loving this incredible suitor, who millions would be happy to have, but there’s just something missing.
*me immediately spotting the History link in the UI* “Oh hmm there used to be a ‘History’ button here, I guess GitHub did away with that. No matter let’s just talk about how we can fix this.”
As fun as it is to watch Mamdani dunk on Andrew son of Mario, it shouldn’t be happening. Cuomo chose to run for the Dem nomination. He picked a lane! Now he’s trying to skip over at the last minute to try as an independent, honking all the way. That’s not acceptable in a functioning party
these people think it’ll go like “We did it y’all. We finally created the machine that makes everything for everyone for free. With that said, we’ve decided we’ll let a handful of people decide who actually gets the stuff though.”
of course the president’s BLS nominee is a jan 6er
i hope this email doesn’t find you at all. i hope you got out. i hope you’re free
We don’t have a president, we have a mad king. Shaking down businesses, demanding ransom money, and presenting himself awards he never earned and doesn’t deserve, while his servile flock of toadies run around going “Yes, sir! Very good, sir!” American government has collapsed
This is my sign to finally watch 3 colors
I think “our party will take care of career/legal bumps that come your way if you oppose the bad guys [insert preferred legal caveats here] ” would maybe do enough to seal it. Yes you’ll have weirdos try to take advantage, but overall it’d be huge. “They take care of their own (J6) and so will we.”
Not fun to apply the ol’ “did you do everything you could?” to myself that I’ve done to others in other periods.
Absolute banger
1 night each month during the full moon, stay home at night within An American Werewolf in London.
Movie rocks
I hadn’t read this, thanks.
They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one.
#ReleaseTheCuomoList
And making fun of people pushing the panics. “Is the little baby afraid of seeing all the big adults stomp-stomp-stomping around?”
Agreed on this being silly but we all hate that they’ve commandeered the thumbs up. It’s bad folks. Props to Lake Man for trying to take it back, on the front line of the war.
I may have said this before but the way we've surrendered the concept of the phone call to scammers in the last 5 years really puts the current immigration psychosis in perspective. The people who can't make the phone work are asking you to trust them with micromanaging the country's demographics
