It is kind of darkly funny that Donald looked the American people in the eye and said “You know what? You people aren’t even worth the effort of selling the war,” and we looked him right back and said “Yes, you are absolutely right.”

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is basically just an absurdist children's book version of "hurt people hurt people"

What I keep coming back to is, if these goons refuse to show badges or warrants, what's to keep any bystander from doing whatever it takes to prevent by all appearances an abduction in progress? Assuming you made it out alive couldn't you beat the charges on basically any intervention?

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Under cover of night I grabbed a knockoff power wheels dump truck that our neighbor had put out on the curb, replaced the 12v battery and got it running again.

Putin and Netanyahu have both played Trump like a fiddle. Honestly wouldn't hate it if he took it personally and made them both pay, but I think the capability just isn't there in State or Defense.

Just a reminder that these were scenes after the Dodgers won the World Series last fall, including buses burning, stores looted, fires, Mexican flags waving - all on scale dwarfing anything that has happened in LA now. And no one called for the Marines being sent in www.marca.com/en/mlb/los-a...

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.

both pro/antinatalism are extreme right wing ideas and I fundamentally reject that the left has to accept that framework as legitimate at all

Not sure how the licensing that was used for this data works, but I think this is actually a drastic undercount of the number and sqft of businesses at risk in Houston. There are 4 vape shops of off the top of my head within a mile of me, all of which definitely sell THC; none are on the map.

There's a genuinely fascinating aspect to this post, which is on display all throughout the quotes and replies: Why is this person asking HISTORIANS???? Using maps is within living memory, so why not just ask the saddest, grey-est person they can find? Well... 🧵🧵🧵

Between @evan7257.bsky.social and @keribla.bsky.social, it really seems like the Chronicle is getting the dream team back together. Hope they pick up some of the Houston Landing staff too.

These Striped German tomatoes have been taunting me for weeks, huge and green, and the second they start to turn color, BOOM. I think this was squirrels. It's good to have like a hundred other plants so this is just a huge bummer rather than totally demoralizing. 🌱

Man this is such a great example of one of my favorite parts of these interactions: the kayfabe that the player really definitely wants to beat the ump's ass, to a degree just barely below the ability of whoever happens to be available to restrain him right that second. A masterful performance here.

Dashes are very normal parts of written English and are "AI tells" mostly because they were left off default keyboard configurations and thus are annoying to type in casual writing relative to how often they're used in professional writing.

Saw Sinners earlier this week, and I can't stop thinking about it, but just like the fun parts. The fun parts are so fun! There should be more movies that are mostly "I'm assembling a team" but for a great party.

It's been pretty funny, even in very professional, energy-industry, business world settings, I have yet to hear anyone say "liberation day" or "big beautiful bill" without an audible eyeroll. Everyone knows how dumb this stuff is!

I'm very pro-traffic enforcement but this is probably a good move on net. IMO part of the problem with most PDs is overgeneralization. Requiring every single cop to do traffic enforcement is going to incentivize cops to make the easiest stops, not ones with highest safety/congestion impact.

The specific example this is a response to is just one of a worryingly widespread trend I've noticed even among pretty smart people to treat any book with a bunch of footnotes as gospel truth, requiring no effort to read, let alone challenge, the actual sources being cited. What a perfect rebuttal.

I generally think automated traffic enforcement should be paired with nominally higher speed limits and materially lower fines, but $10/mph seems extremely reasonable to me. In some jurisdictions >15 over gets you like $500 and a reckless driving charge.

One step closer to my dream of building a 6-story 10-unit complex with 2000-sf multi-aspect apartments with an Italian coffee/wine/pizza place on the ground floor, minimal parking, and a roof terrace in Montrose and living there with all my friends and our families.
