I'd honestly rather see the dev team from Club Penguin take a stab at Twitter than the (presumably very talented and very well paid) people at Facebook. I just don't see how FB would provide news value when they hate showing ppl links and giving them a chance to leave the site..

Seeing photos of the Prospect Park bike path repaved after moving out of Brooklyn… devastating. I thought I was prepared

Sharing links is back. My latest on Cinde Warmington, the lone declared candidate for governor in NH (who just so happened to lobby for Purdue Pharma). https://www.thedailybeast.com/cinde-warmington-is-running-on-the-opioid-epidemic-in-new-hampshire-she-lobbied-for-the-company-behind-it?ref=home

Just had one of those moments where I realized on this day 10 years ago I was frantically researching the dorms at Wesleyan after another day working at the water & sewer dpt, trying but failing to enjoy the last summer before college. And I was predicting Hillary Clinton would be president in 2017

ESPN referring to “DPM” as a stat for the hot dog eating contest (dogs per minute lol)

I’ve never actually caught the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest live, and hot damn this is the most American production I’ve ever seen. Listing the records these guys have in other foods, their height and weight, hype-up tracks, the crazy announcer guy… USA baby.
