I know there is fierce competition, but I think I found the worst person in Texas.

When you have had a long week, and then your younger brother sends you this

No big deal, just a couple of nerds being nerds on a Friday

Does he think firing the lawyers is gonna stop the lawsuits or

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"AI" is, purely, a marketing term and a (poor) umbrella phrase for a number of different types of computerized statistical analysis, iteration and synthesis. If something is being touted as "AI" to me, it's because someone wants me to buy it, and also I probably don't need it.

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

Do we have a constitution anymore?

HERETIC might be my favorite horror film of the past year

He's out of line, but he's not wrong

Breaking out and mixing up the Marvel Unmatched sets tonight

It would be far less time-consuming to just document when he tells the truth. shorturl.at/tohgb

You can tell the politicians who wouldn't be elected if the Democratic machine didn't exist. The ones who exist outside the machine, AOC and others, who canvassed for themselves, held community meetings, did real grassroots stuff...they're not standing there saying "we have limited tools."

So Mitch McConnell isn't planning on running for reelection in '26. Probably with the understanding that there won't be elections in '26. Or '28.

They should have mustered the votes to block him, then

I always thought Wallace Shawn had the ideal career: you get to be this well-regarded highbrow playwright and art house movie maker AND you also get to be a part of millions of people‘s childhoods by being in Clueless, the Princess Bride, and Toy Story. What a life.

Five decades of frozen garlic bread technology, and Pepridge Farms scientists still haven't worked out the halves are stuck together conundrum

Oh what the fuckkkkkkk www.forbes.com/sites/dereks...

Let's get it trending

I would really appreciate a week where I am not fully emotionally exhausted by Wednesday

NEW: A White House official's sworn statement that Elon Musk isn't technically in charge of DOGE has added to the confusion at the US DOGE Service, where workers say they have no idea who the DOGE Administrator, ie their boss, actually is. This is from @makenakelly.bsky.social

New: At least 8 lawsuits are trying to block DOGE from accessing sensitive govt data, from tax returns to student-loan records. All of them rely in part on the Privacy Act of 1974. But what is this law — and can it stop Elon Musk? My @wired.com story: www.wired.com/story/privac...

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

This is correct. I once ran Marvel using West End Games Star Wars as the base rules.

So it's everyone's fault but his now? Donald Trump has been saying racist, white supremacist nonsense since the seventies. Why is this being treated like some new development?

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I wrote about Elon Musk and Gavin Kliger and acknowledging the reality of what they are: Nazis.

The U.S. is meeting with Russia about the future of Ukraine without any Ukrainian officials present. It's a rejection of the concept of self-determination by free people. All Americans should be ashamed by this.

I bet if we all stop buying airline tickets this shit stops

Still devastating

Classic cover. I'll humbly add this to the discourse.

all my lighters are dead so i am smoking weed with a bbq lighter and that's so funny to me in a pathetic sort of way

Dragonbane. Half the party died last session...a week to digest how that impacted player's perceptions of the game. Next session will include a discussion of this, before we dive into new characters joining the party.

Ooooops

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
