lol. Bisnow looks into the federal office leases that the new administration claims to have 'canceled', and it turns out .... most either had already expired or were about to, and in some cases the space had even already been vacated. www.bisnow.com/national/new...

“I didn't pay attention to lyrics...” Lol tell us something we didn't know.

Can't decide if 'executing' is a poor choice of words to describe what the woman who famously killed her own dog and goat and then bragged about it in her memoir (www.theguardian.com/books/2024/a...) will be doing in her new job, or if maybe it's just perhaps a bit, er, on the nose...

wow, apparently even DC's weather has taken a big step back in time this week.... /ducks

babes, are you a digital nomad or merely working in places with bad ergonomics [winces in 'middle age']

"Maybe instead of simply getting tired of going along with what the mayor wants, the Council could consider another approach.…"

Dear Greyhound: fuck you, it isn't over yet. (If I had room to move I'd be rolling on the floor laughing at this email sent half an hour after my scheduled arrival asking if I liked my trip — which left an hour and a half late and is now running closer to two hours behind...)

what's a horse's favorite wine? chardonneigh you've just been dad joked

Truth.

New gender dropped

he popped his friend and he's so proud of his work

honestly....relatable. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

Who wants to write a short fun history of euchre for Belt Publishing? A fun project for a Midwestern card playing historian! Is there a bluesky feed for this? (I am serious about wanting to do such a book)

Breaking news! Transit advocates will be hosting a fundraising call for Harris/Walz on Thursday, August 15th at 7 pm ET. Several high ranking speakers have been confirmed. RSVP to join us. Please share! 🚌🚆

I have to admit I have never been thrilled with the concept of two-factor authentication, but I am ever more convinced whoever came up with and popularized the concept had never lost or broken a cellphone…. Phone melted down and was replaced a month ago, and I'm _still_ having Authenticator issues.

What most people don't know about RFK Jr. - but I do, as an autism historian - is that this bear business isn't NEARLY as wacky and "off" as his descriptions of autistic people and theories about vaccines. And Trump has offered RFK Jr. a job in the White House. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/04/u...

If the @washingtonpost.com cares to know, it's deeply unserious, navel-gazing twaddle like this, deeply disconnected as it is from from the stakes of this election and unconcerned with it's impact on governance, that led me to cancel my subscription. A potential fascist takeover is BORING!?!?

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

I don't recall having ever watched an Olympics opening ceremony, but apparently this go-round I've missed a doozy...

Duolingo: "I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords."

you know, i wish we didn't have to rely on big sacrificial friction surfaces to stop the wheels of a car turning but hey, them's the brakes

He was there to work with the Biden administration on a Parkinson's act that was signed July 2nd, you irresponsible fascist loving hacks

As a person who rides a bike semi-regularly (not even long distances, usually — just, like, home from work several times a week...) I _have_ noted a marked decline in the ability of my pants to deal. I've already bought new shorts twice this year due to holes where one's pants shouldn't have holes…

once again the weather display built into Windows' taskbar has given up on a specific temperature and is simply alternating between "Near record" and "Very hot weather". be honest: if you could sploot like this squirrel, you would too.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

“Do not use your phone to answer phone calls” is not advice as much as it’s a condemnation of regulatory inaction that has led a vital means of communication to ruin.

can't believe they missed opportunity for "FIN DU MONDE" (or just "FIN", really.)

“I did ask the kids…, ‘Who do you think might come out in opposition to this bill? Their answer was, ‘People who think that salamanders are gross!’ But we haven’t heard from that interest group yet.” ...and hopefully they never do. www.washingtonian.com/2024/06/04/k...
