That's the whole thing: I'm all for focusing on kitchen table issues but when the consultant class says it, it means they're about to agree with Republicans on a personal liberty issue.

Hey, uh, so OpenAI loses 23% of their paying subscribers after 6 months? Isn't that a pretty high churn rate? I guess it's better than Anthropic losing 42% of them, lmao

weiss’ singular talent is her ability to flatter the sensibilities of rich men of influence. that’s it. she makes them feel like they aren’t as vapidly reactionary as they actually are.

In general I think Americans do the "greatest in the world" thing too much and it sounds extra silly if you've actually seen the world, but one place where I think it is objectively true are the cities. US cities are some of the greatest in the world. And NYC is the crown jewel of US cities

I love James so much. Usually his facial expressions are inquisitive, or at least friendly. But he is not at all afraid to give us a withering glare if he feels we deserve it. Here are two such times.

Literally, 95 percent of the time, the pictures we get of him have James looking like this. Curious, empathetic, affectionate.

Still bitter about the new (now 5-year-old) Lawrence police headquarters that the city commission promptly approved after the voters rejected it.

My nephew is at UF and when he got in I didn't know how to react because he was really excited about it and I was like "that degree is not gonna be as prestigious by the time you graduate."

Since I’m on the west coast and thus everyone has already had several hours to make serious comments about this, it falls to me to make the petty ones: This man could only be named Emil Bove. He is the physical embodiment of the words “Emil Bove.”

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

Comprehensive shellacking of Stablecoins by the Bank for International Settlements. They fail all the core tests of money: singleness, elasticity, and integrity. www.bis.org/publ/arpdf/a...

John Roberts the moderate wise man who’s steering the court with an eye towards his legacy and maintaining institutions was such a dark joke from the media.

I'm stressed as hell having to explain to people older than me that we've learned this lesson no less than 3x in my very short lifetime. You can't just topple a regime holding together a bunch of groups who hate each other, unite them in their hatred of you in the process, then expect good things.

I can verify that Topeka's communist cells remained inactive until at least 2007, when I moved to Lawrence.

I saw some BS about how folks need to stop posting about their art, music, shows because 'end of the world" & 'read the room.’ No. Now is exactly the time for more humanity, not less. Don't lose your soul, yo.

If you plan to visit the US, don't. It is not safe to visit the US and you face being randomly detained, kidnapped, beaten, and / or killed by the regime. It's not worth the trip. Stay home.

His body will lie in state at the Memphis airport for three days, then be delivered to its final resting place via Columbia, MO; Trenton, NJ; Springfield, MA; Charleston, SC; Bakersfield, CA; Trenton again for some reason; and will then register as "out for delivery" indefinitely.

a lot of us remember being young in a workplace where older coworkers dismissed our concerns about some monster with “sure he’s a sex pest / abusive / racist / but he does really important work here, gotta take the good with the bad!! 🤷🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️” and we simply refused to accept that as a rule for life

Average blue state Dem politician: sex offender, basically a Republican, re-elected with 98.7% of the vote Average red state Dem politician: preacher and civil rights activist who lifted 50,000 children out of poverty and won by 1 vote last election against a child rapist with a swastika tattoo
