Women cannot resist the raspy crackle of his damaged voice

My God, what an exemplary person

The maintenance *is* the resilience! The technician is as much the system as the wires or the motors. Technology is activity, not artifact.

Liefeld-ass comic book character, someone check if his feet have been drawn

"Tears in the Rain" monologue, but for my dick

“Politics does not reflect majorities, it constructs them” — concise commentary from Stuart Hall re: Thatcherism, but might as well be about Trumpism

This is 100% bullshit. There are no algorithms. Musk and his incel clown posse are not forensic accountants and do not know how to audit. Discovering fraud is a labor-intensive project that can never be done by looking at payments alone. This is just a thinly-veiled rationale to gut Social Security.

Gonna put them right back in that bathroom

Three Days of the Condor: having sex with your captor is the ultimate Stockholm syndrome, but what if he's peak Robert Redford and is also a charming nerd?

Would watch TBH

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social Imma be that guy: the Dinosaurs finale did not have a meteor, instead it ended with the onset of the Ice Age caused by wrecking the environment

Ukraine shouldn't dress like that

The Trump DoJ lawyers pushing this stuff can’t be humiliated enough for my taste. So many people should spit at their feet that they need galoshes.

My piddly govt agency has to do a RFP for any contract over $10k, but sure, just roll SpaceX in and start fucking with production systems unbid...

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

I can understand SNL being formative to someone or having a run be in your faves, but I cannot imagine anyone considering all 50 years as a singular "best"

Saw this on Reddit and I love this … such a Philly thing. Go birds.

Chasing down perps like Popeye Doyle

Hey man I have enough “fuck this” to go for decades, no need to pace me
