huh weird!

The TL is bleak but Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, donated her Tesla to @npr

this week I: *traveled in a private jet *visited mcgrath, alaska *was paid biweekly by leprechauns *somewhat agree *wrote a survey attention check

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

The VP of the US responding to a journalist. What a great role model for our kids.

Is someone having a good political week when both the chancellor of Germany and the supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church calls them out for being a crypto-Nazi?

Rarely is the question asked: is our children yearning?

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

This is absolutely insane. Musk’s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Who up discussing the terms and conditions of they employment as protected by the NLRA

I may not be the most successful person I went to college with but at least the pope hasn’t told me I’m a heretic

uhhh lowering aggregate demand you say?

JD Vance spends all weekend shredding the Constitution like its toilet paper in service to Dear Leader only to get shit upon by Dear Leader on Monday.

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

This is so incredibly insane

I feel it’s important to publicly note that there is an episode of Law & Order in which S. Epatha Merkerson says “Crash Bandicoot”

I wanna vote for the Hyatt man for president

Fix your hearts or die.

The US Constitution does not grant the President this unilateral authority. In Illinois, we will stand against unlawful actions that would harm millions of working families, children, and seniors.

The banker is so nice

43,000 less cars. avg 300,000 more subway rides per day. It’s. Working.

Well… Look at the hypocrite looking for sympathy when he took joy in mocking others’ loss.

Yes, exactly.

I want to learn this so bad

As @timlapira.bsky.social + I have found, political elites think that everyone agrees with their policy views more than they actually do (~25 percentage point spread). I think this shapes their election post-mortems "if only they had focused on my priorities" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

It ruled

NOTE: An update for those who followed my coverage of the Alabama judge-shopping investigation. No, I haven't dropped the story. Judge Liles Burke just hasn't ruled on whether to hold any attorneys in contempt in the six months since he held the show cause hearings. www.lawdork.com/i/153821555/...

Going Monday because being that person is my biggest anxiety (and I love being on the everyone at the function side)

The thing about Vivek's "white Americans are being pushed towards mediocrity by the culture" argument is its also the thesis of Hillbilly Elegy

The idea of AI digital twins at work creates so many Black Mirror scenarios. So do you leave a company and an AI chatbot version of you still works there chiming in on Zoom calls, commenting on people’s code & documents and churning out status reports?

“Vivek Ramaswamy was the original hawk tua rug puller”

Every subway crime gives rise to a new round of pundits claiming NYC a failed city. Every shooting in states with insane gun laws is met with deafening silence from the same people.

“I didn’t think they’d be racist and xenophobic against my friends” sobs man who voted for Racist Xenophobic Candidate

Remember on this day that, canonically, George Bailey’s re-discovery of the value of his life takes place at the same time as the failed hit attempt on Vito Corleone.

just realized something

A disgusting move from our incoming president - taking territory for the federal government that rightfully belongs to Illinois
