There are genuinely fewer people here than at the beer festival I went to right next to this in 2023. It was raining then too, much harder. And this was October rain, so much less pleasant.

It's pretty cool that all this (gestures at Domhnall Gleeson starring in an AI written sitcom about an HR guy set in the James Bond universe) is only possible because a brave woman had compulsive thoughts about male genitalia and writing about elves on napkins was the only way to push them back

I didn't watch the Glenn Greenwald sex thing so I have no idea if this is right, but in light of it, is there any chance shitlib is not an insult but a deep, pulsating desire?

@slothropsmap.bsky.social asked a while ago about best books to read that capture this moment. I'm feeling/hoping Exit West is one, and we're in the part right before the hopeful denouement

In general the Biden discourse feels to me like any time the US press decides something is obviously true, which is almost always a catastrophic failure of myopia. I'm just squeeed out whenever something is obvious to them, from WMDs to "Russiagate" being false to Lab Leak. Track record is awful

It's grimly funny how many people decided that history had ended in December 2024 and that moment was the permanent ideology. News media, giant businesses, opposition party governors--all were just like, I'm acclimating myself to the new and permanent ideology. Only to sadly walk it back now

The Biden cognitive stuff is amazing, because journalists are kicking themselves for not doing enough of a Hillary emails. Trump won, they utterly failed at warning anyone about what this would be like, and are all like, man we should have done an even worse job!

Isn't this so much more exciting than the boring old Biden admin?

Always fun to spend a day with family, finally get the baby down, to boot this app up and learn it's unclear whether or not the president has officially declared martial law yet or not

Just curious, has anyone on here or anywhere in America ever talked about Sudan at all?

This sentence is pretty good but could have really used a discussion of Haberman's priors and an explanatory lead in that "If I could steelman this for you"

The world for a dog is like Elden Ring. Full of beautiful vistas and interesting sites you wouldn't expect, but also horrific nightmare creatures that you must battle. My dog just cornered a possum in the yard

One thing that is extremely frustrating about the age we live in is that we are obviously not healthy, obviously suffering as a people, and the only language we have to talk about it is economics, purchasing power. That's not what's going on here.
