FA: Can I get you anything? Me: yes, I would like

I cannot grasp the mind that allows someone to say “This man assaulted women” and then, two months later, endorse him. Do you simply not have beliefs? Are your beliefs robotic restatements of what a majority of your friends are saying?

I'll never understand why the Democrats haven't run a "no pedo" platform

This all gets even better: crypto is getting lit up.

anyone else feel like Charley Brown watching this?

there is not a single fast-casual chain bread that surpasses the cheddar bay biscuit. the cheddar bay biscuit is one of the greatest foodstuffs this country has ever produced. if you went back in time and gave a cheddar bay biscuit to george washington, the intensity of flavor would kill him

i think that the Democrats should triangulate in trans kids by accusing Republicans of being pedophiles

love to say "tomato, tomato" in written communication

Here's hoping that the @nwslplayers.bsky.social uses this as a tool to educate their members on the potential benefits of salary transparency in the #NWSL. www.nytimes.com/athletic/640...

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

Okay how much of the AI hype cycle is just this happening to people who are too rich to be told no?

I feel like theaters are in this terrible downward spiral

First order of business has to be outlawing crypto

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

“well, my neighbor got thrown in a gulag, my kid has measles and the ps6 costs as much as a ford bronco, but i just can’t get past dems refusing to say joe biden was old in 2025” - a voter who definitely exists

What a tough game. Huge credit to Harvey :(

Under Trump's economic plan, people making between $17K and $51K could lose an average $700 in after-tax income, taking into account tax and social spending changes, according to a new study. Those make $4.3M or more would gain an average $389K. @tonyromm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/u...

The mirror thing is a joke right? Like everyone is in on the joke, right?

Does literally anyone except startup founders want an everything app? Like a single person anywhere? Who are these for?

What's one of the oldest known depictions of Jesus (maybe THE oldest)? It's a work of Roman graffiti making fun of a Christian guy named Alexamenos, where he's portrayed worshiping what appears to be a crucified donkey with a carefully-rendered butt. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexame...

A merry NWSL Circle of Parity day to all who celebrate. I'd like to thank Orland for not waiting til the back quarter of the season to drop a game this year. Love this silly chaos league. BAY -> LOU -> HOU -> SEA -> NC -> KC -> POR -> NJY -> LA -> WAS -> ORL -> SD -> UTA -> CHI -> BAY #NWSL

Okay finally managed to replicate those nice plots @chris-awk.bsky.social is always sharing thanks to @americansocceranalysis.com 's python package and API. I was able to make some tweaks and to create a post-shot xG version as well

Rank your Mellon Collies

Getting my hands dirty with the @americansocceranalysis.com API and python package. I'm proud I got the lil shields and colors for each team

Heh.

I had to recreate the Taylor Flint scatter plot mentioned here and... god damn

i think the biggest public relations coup AI boosters scored was calling it “AI.” people genuinely think it is an intelligence, and that when they query it, it is providing reasoned answers

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

This is a tragedy, Denny Blaine is such a wonderful little space
