I saved this yesterday in the hopes I'd get to use it soon.

I'm in touch with a source in Cuomo's camp. They're all screaming and turning back into rats. Not looking good so far

Elon Musk is one of the worst mass murderers of the 21st Century.

Mr. Melancholy has endorsed Andrew Cuomo

My students upon entering class this afternoon: “So we’re at war and we still gotta turn in homework?” Me, a millennial:

"Happens to every guy sometimes this does." -yoda

capitalism made the guy who built his empire on self-driving cars that can't and rockets that constantly explode the richest man on earth, but sure tell me again how it's the greatest system ever devised

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

this kind of panic is completely disconnected from objective reality, what on earth are they expecting will happen if the city becomes (optimistically) 10% more responsive to the needs of people who will never know anyone who has a line drawing of themselves in the newspaper

Weird that this is the holiday where he suddenly decides that we just have too many dang holidays. Wonder why!

He put himself on the First Lady wall lol

I have many of these that I used to hold my meatball sub while I finish my other meatball sub

"Was it really this dumb in 2003" guys they renamed french fries

We can never have too many Lamenters.

wow I asked it if it's becoming conscious this is scary

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Disney CEO Bob Iger has commissioned a 300 tonne sword to hang over the Walt Disney Headquarters, to prove that "Nothing bad can ever happen to this company" (Source: tinyurl.com/39w77zra)

it’s 2003. i’m living in my hometown. america is spearheading a pointless and evil war in the middle east. a new mario kart just came out. it’s 2025. i’m living in my hometown. america is

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

“ICE agents have to wear masks and no uniform because they have become so deeply unpopular that it’s safer to appear to be a vigilante kidnapper” is a hell of an argument

LLM cannot taste. they can’t generate recipes. notoriously they fail at this task at a HUGE rate, including many unsafe cooking instructions. you CAN web search for “carrot + chickpeas + fennel” and get tons of actual recipes written by humans. it takes the exact same amount of time to search.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Google has a new button. It might destroy the web as you know it. Experts say the new “AI Mode” is an asteroid aimed at the heart of the internet, one that could decimate millions of websites. It seems this chapter of online history is over. Here’s what comes next: www.bbc.com/future/artic...

There is so much history and every day I learn more of it (from Play, Volume 1, Issue 10, October 2002, p.17)

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Notable that one of these guys doesn't even bother with a mask or the shitty drop shipped plate carrier and is just wearing a T-Shirt that says "Si vis pacem, para bellum" (if you want peace, prepare for war).

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

Hustle culture lied to us. *This* is the perfect life

Javier Bardem went so hard on the genocide of Palestinians that the View had to cut to commercial break

She's a millionaire she can do it herself

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?" AOC/Bernie: 70% Moderate Dems: 30% Harvard-Harris / June 12, 2025

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

Blade Runner (and, subsequently, Philip K Dick)

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

I count 49 news headlines on the NYT mobile app home page right now, not including opinion, sports or cooking. None of them are about the massive protests yesterday.

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.
