You can tell Bitcoin is a good investment for retirement because they have posters telling you to buy it at the gas station

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

The horrors persist, but so do I (not really…hanging on by a thread).

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

This is an astoundingly accurate take.

Proudly so.

Hugely blessed image

For those confused by the China tariff news: • Trump caved and got zero in return • No manufacturing moved back to the USA • 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans • 90 day pause still causes uncertainty • Trump lost all negotiating leverage

Which one is Lilo and which one is Stitch?

just so you all know bc books are a very opaque business... any way you buy/borrow a book is fantastic, but getting hard copies is *significantly* better for the author because that number shows up in an antiquated database called BookScan that publishers prize. ebooks & audio don't.

we all got a little Barbie in us (the microplastics)

12 years old today. What kind of birthday treat should he get, @darthbluesky.bsky.social?!

Barb Howard summing up my thoughts on Coachella

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
