How it started/How it's going

MacKenzie Scott is adding actual value to the world with her wealth, but I’m petty enough to wish she’d buy a competing WaPo newspaper and tell them their opinion pages can only run columns about how stupid Jeff is.

RFK is a lunatic and will kill many. He and others promised under oath it would not come to this. They said they did not want to take away vaccines. They lied. In this coming anti-science era, the only thing you can do to protect yourself and loved ones is to wear a well-fitting mask.

🔥 CROCKETT: “Facts matter.”

These people can’t go to Mars fast enough.

What just happened in OKC?! Wow.

Got 14th in the Winter Poker Classic at Canterbury after starting the day 66 out 68 remaining. Just sliding thru on 7-12 big blinds for 4-5 hours.

That was a fun half. I really can’t stand Dillon Brooks.

This is amazing news. Keep fighting for this stuff. This is the kind of life-saving breakthrough we’re destroying by dismantling the NIH and elevating slackjawed nimwits like RFK and Bhattacharya.

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

Make the Great Depression Again

The cybertruck hasn't achieved much, but it has demonstrated how well other cars are designed. The universal base level of competent car design was kind of invisible until the cybertruck. It's like if a toilet came out that sprays shit across the room, making us appreciate other toilets that don't.

Basketball friends and sane people! Share if you can. It’d be fantastic if Velodus’s perfect list reached Adam Silver’s orbit before his big press conference tonight. 🏀

I can’t believe I live in this timeline where madmen and grifters are going to be making these decisions. You do not realize how much public health matters until it starts to erode.

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

"I promise, America will soon be the Cybertruck of countries—uglier than you could have imagined, built for rich chuds, borderline inoperable, and on fire."

Our Amazing Petty King strikes again

If you're wondering why congressional Democrats spent 3 months after the election rolling over and playing dead, it's because they were listening to these guys.

It’s amazing to me that the same people who tell me there’s nothing but Democrats with a slight majority can ever do to make things happen also tell me there’s nothing Democrats with a slight minority can do to stop things from happening

Canadians are right to feel betrayed. Close allies with mutually-beneficial cooperation for many years only for the US to try to damage the Canadian economy for no reason, spitting on decades of friendship and mutual trust. I’m sorry.

Look at the “prizes” at Rec Poker weekend for @recpokerjim.bsky.social @psr1973.bsky.social

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

@natjv.bsky.social This is the moment. Blue Sky needs you!

I don't want to hear anyone talk about "not politicizing" tragedies again. BECAUSE the GOP politicize tragedy they get the headlines and the media love and it drives the narrative. If you're too worried about offending people in this environment, you are not cut out for the fight ahead

Jaden McDaniels and Joe Ingles need to make a buddy cop movie.

RFK Jr even getting a hearing for this job is failed state shit

Sucks when people take your stuff and use it to make their stuff and don’t pay for it, eh?

Literally happening as we speak

Max capacity passengers per hour: * Boring Co’s Vegas Loop: 4,500 * NYC subway 6 train: 105,000

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

It’d be a real shame if this inbox was flooded with copy/paste terms of service from a bunch of random websites.

If I ever need to run a scam, remind me to make sure to target the masthead of The Atlantic, because those appear to be the most gullible motherfuckers on the planet

Strange to find comfort in a sci-fi TV show. But remember this—try. youtu.be/-asb8zTiuZ4?...

I can’t believe TikTok is basically our Reichstag

In five words or less, start a fight NOT about religion or politics: Minneapolis and StPaul should merge.

We tried to triple the time it takes to shop while making our customers feel like prisoners, and weirdly, they didn’t like it.

I just wish people would call them little free bookstores instead of little free libraries. libraries are already free

Viking fandom never changes.
