reminds me of a thing that happened in my area recently. We had a foot of snow and the plows piled this into what most of the year are parking lanes on a major through street. Cars parked in two of the driving lanes anyway! Accidentally proving we don't need that many lanes bsky.app/profile/chan...

I still haven't found a convincing explanation of why people make brewing coffee so complicated. Looks like the actual historical traditional method is just throw coffee grinds in hot water, steep for a few minutes, then strain. No filters, no drip, no press, no percolating, nothing

Personally I think we set everyone up to hate it by calling it chili. It's context collapse. I think if you said "try my meat sauce on some spaghetti" and gave them this, a lot of these nos would be yeses bsky.app/profile/kevi...

I do see a lot of "no politics" content creators inserting anti-Elon/Trump/Vance messages into videos, something that didn't happen in Trump1. The scope of what Project2025 is so large you can't get through an entire chicken stock recipe without it coming up

Elon does regularly manipulate the algorithm to push misinformation, he doesn't phrase it that way but he does admit to it. I would amend the other parts of this statement though, misinformationists often do overwhelm algorithms designed to prevent misinformation bsky.app/profile/greg...

an important psychological feature shared between Trump and Musk is that they're both just insanely paranoid (the leaked DMs where Elon worries people are going to kill him are a great example)

"price gouging" is such a poorly defined concept, so whatever. The point I'd like to focus on is that equilibrium price goes up, it's not "cover" for price hikes they could have done before but out of sheer generosity didn't bsky.app/profile/jose...

Everyone in tech-CEO-land is on drugs, yes, but also I think this is part of the bosses' panic about work from home, CEOs do so little of their own work they honestly can't tell if their employees are working, but they think they can tell if they see them in person bsky.app/profile/rcma...

I just want to add that there has almost never been a time when "I'm powerless" has been less true for a majority party backbencher. The GOP majority is so thin, find a couple buddies, oust the speaker, pass resolutions or impeachment. bsky.app/profile/jona...

Star Wars's "long time ago in a galaxy far far away" thing has the effect of removing earth from the star wars universe, are there any other sci-fi franchises that do this? Like Dune doesn't count because it technically takes place in earth's distant future, they're all descended from earthlings

There's a lot of odd features about this chart. Why did they stop asking the question for the entirety of Trump's first term? Apparently covid made everyone gay? And again in 2024?

I really don't think a state level ban is actually legal. Federal law is supreme and Congress has taken up regulation of drugs and vaccines for itself in order to make them uniform across the states bsky.app/profile/walt...

there's several things going on. 1)yeah there's a self-promotion aspect to it 2)AI bros are high on their own supply, interpret everything that comes out of AI as the oracle of delphi instead of being like "huh maybe it's a bug" 3)Time gullibly reporting a non-linkable study bsky.app/profile/carl...
