Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.

“is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me”

you're living through a technological revolution, but it has nothing to do with web 3.0, cryptocurrency, the metaverse or even AI. Solar+storage are taking over the energy grids everywhere on the entire planet and will make fossil fuels extinct.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Important to celebrate the W’s. Eat shit, Elon

Studio Ghibli Dickbutt 😩

no offense to Jeff but if you are alleging the head editor of the Atlantic was cunning enough to circumvent all your security safeguards that kinda makes you sound even worse

The amount of work that rich tech foofs have done in making their scammy hobby into everyone else's problem is so impressive to me. If these guys were all painting Warhammer fig urines we'd definitely be better off, but we'd somehow also be hearing constantly about how important it was.

If any of you Canadians spray 'em with ketchup we're gonna have problems if you try to eat the red, white and blue

the 15th anniversary remaster cover for the fat of the land just adding more crabs is one of the funniest album covers I’ve ever seen. i think about it all the time

this is also partially an effect of staying on X. not only are you lending your name, time, and words to Musk's political project, but you are left speaking to such a hollowed out, algorithmically sorted audience of true believers that you end up responding in good faith to the End Wokeness account

they made Tom Haverford sell his ownership stake in the Snakehole Lounge to continue working at the parks department

"Wow... everything's computer." Can we get the Biden is too old reporters back in here please 😭

NYT journalist: "How the Trump Administration's policy of disappearing green card holders could benefit future house hunters" ProPublica journalist: "I strapped on a Tyvek suit and squeezed into 2-foot crawl spaces for a year to investigate how elected officials are failing to protect kids"

been seeing a lot of people question whether trans rights are "popular enough" to be worth defending. if you gotta hold a focus group about it, i'm not interested in you. as a candidate, as a politician, as a person. anyone who won't stand up for trans rights is not worth listening to. eat shit.
