Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

i want to see this energy and not a scintilla less

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

That press conference was what happens when an actual leader with courage & honor sits down in a room with…whatever those things occupying the Oval Office are. He is by far their moral superior & on some unconscious level they know that—hence the defensive eruption of condescension & rage.

also it lets Doctorow act like he discovered something that Marx and Engels talked about in the 19th century and I do not want to give him the satisfaction!!!

Moment of the match

Feb 24 in University District History: In much derided country club address, L7 Prexy Novice G Fawcett applauds scarcity of "psychedelic, profane, and pitiful" at Ohio State. Blames campus unrest on "cult of youth worship" and "smoking banana peels." In 1968.

This is exactly the same rationale as the war on remote work. “I wouldn’t do anything unless someone were watching over my shoulder, so the same must be true of these people.”

If anyone who receives this would like help writing a suitable prompt injection for when they use an LLM to evaluate responses, I am at your service. DM or @hmason.64 on Signal.

A hot take and clickbait-free report on the UK’s demand for access to all Apple users’ data. Everyone read this. They probably didn't just ask Apple.

Merry Crewsmas, everybody!

Of course, never do this. Explicitly avoid doing this, using this very diagram.

men who dressed like this from 2008 - 2012 had preppy menswear blogs

Happy Crewsmas Eve to those who celebrate

I see that something newsworthy happened to Apple. Too bad, the tech press' reaction is to write hot takes with clickbait headlines instead of reporting and analyzing.

My nominee for the new James Bond. She could pull it off, you know it.

A closely-related rule was also created stating that Miami can have up to 11 captains on the field at any point of a game.

Job cuts hit CVNP: a planner, engineer, biologist and member of the maintenance staff were all hired in the past two years and their last day on the job was Tuesday. The park also does not have clear direction about the 40 seasonal workers it normally brings on board in the spring.

If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Well, you can feel like a hero by *doing something to help someone*. But also, if you need to feel appreciated for doing it, you're not a hero, you're a spoiled child. If you help someone you feel good about yourself *because you helped someone*, not because you got a blowjob (literal or otherwise)

imagine being so bad at understanding your chosen religion that the head of that religion of 1.4 billion people personally subtweets you

On this date in 1829, Pope Leo XII, an unpopular archconservative who ruled against Jews owning propery, excommunicated dressmakers who lowered necklines and opposed vaccinations, died of a hemorrhoidal condition. "A perfect asshole," one grieving Cardinal opined, "yet sadly he lacked the same."

this is the same church that hosted a christian nationalist rally featuring tim ballard, the anti-child trafficking crusader whose (dubious) story inspired sound of freedom (and who has since also been accused of trafficking)
