Gay couple came to the pool with three kids. One dad is sunbathing and the other is managing the kids in the pool. And now I’m sad to know that gay men are also married single moms. 😭

I always push traditional engineering as an optional foundation of a tech career precisely because of the versatility and the future demand. There will never be a time where humans dont need people who know how to create contraptions that take advantage of electromagnetic forces.

Computer engineering unemployment is creeping up because a significant portion of grads tried to pivot to software engineering to due to the pay and how easy it is compared to designing integrated circuits and microprocessors, at exactly the wrong time.

Define manhood for yourself in such a way that your personal happiness, fulfillment, and service to the cause of helping others find that for themselves are the foundation.

THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN CONVINCE ME THAT WE LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD!

Puritanism is a hell of a drug.

I expect 82nd/101 airborne to land on LA by July 4th is my prediction based on the ice stuff

you can't tell at first because this is written in the exonerative tense, but she was shot *by another police officer*

My partner, returning to the workforce after raising three kids to adulthood, is going through new hire orientation and blurts out “they want me to use JIRA. Do you know what that is?” My gods, people. Let her enjoy a little new job glow before hitting her with that kind of fresh darkness.

I’m late to this interview with Tony Gilroy but I think his answer, about why most art is progressive, hits the nail on the head. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/o...

What happened yesterday should radicalize you The LA ICE raid was full-on fascism The Abrego Garcia case is an abomination. We have a government that concocts charges against anyone it doesn't like, and pardons any criminal that supports Trump. And they are just getting started Free Kilmar!

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

I envy all you New Yorkers the opportunity to rank Mamdani and Lander, two not actually shit candidates for mayor, in your top two spots

JD Vance’s entrance

it’s funny that they’re both on their own personal websites posting their little posts

race does not equal genes www.statnews.com/2025/06/05/n...

As I was saying yesterday, it wasn’t real www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

man, even when you buy an election, you’re really just renting it these days. worse than photoshop

Twitter: this is how men with huge balls fight. This is what masculinity looks like Bluesky: this is the first messy breakup of pride month

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You don’t even mention that he’s a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? What’s wrong with you?

short answer: yes long answer: i took trans-atlantic flights without my parents (we lived abroad) at 14

As for me and mines, it’s Cheesecake bread by a large margin I fear

This is the one 🤌🏾 Now all we need is the in-over-his-head Transportation Secretary to screw up again

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Elon Musk is calling for Donald Trump to be impeached. Donald Trump is calling for Elon Musk to be deported. Both sides have a point.

I am not enlightened enough to be like oh we should oppose threats to deport Elon Musk in principle. In principle and in theory that guy can get all the way fucked

RIP to every foreign equivalent of the PDB for tomorrow's brief

Let them fight! This is like that time that two billionaire crypto scammers got mad at each other, ratted each other out to the federales, and then both went to prison.🤡 There is not enough popcorn in the world for this messiness.

Don't think it's entirely kayfabe, but I mostly agree with Elie here:

I wonder if Musk realizes that Trump could tell Noem & Rubio to take a long, hard look at Musk' immigration records, status, etc.

Facts

Trump’s not going to deport Elon, but he could nationalize Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink.

The Times had a similar record reporting on HIV/AIDS, always been a sleazy right wing rag hiding under a pile of money

Whatever else people might criticize, they can’t credibly complain that Kat hasn’t laid out her campaign platform.

This is what they took from us.
