49% of Troy was like "they tried to kill us yesterday" but 51 were chanting HORSE! HORSE! really loud

view from my front porch right now.

Remember when John Roberts gutted the Medicaid expansion because he said the *offer* of medicaid money was too coercive to the states bsky.app/profile/atru...

It might be a problem that the app i use to relax with jokes is also the depressing news firehose

and now a little treat for me *slips into oblivion*

As a California resident i would be willing to resolve the current impass between the US and Denmark, and the competing buyout offers, with a simple solution. The US should trade California for #Greenland.

Just a bizarre editorial decision to publish this one. A ridiculous, uneducated argument attempting unsuccessfully to sanewash an utterly selfish and genocidal idea by Trump.

Me: I wish I had a nickname. Coworker: You do.

your honor, they kept talking to me while my headphones were in

I don't need to sit here and be criticized by you and your leaky penis

Thanks, dream, for surfacing that very specific insecurity!

When someone declares "the joke's over" that is confirmation that the joke is NOT over and you need to ratchet that shit up a notch

there's something fascinating how so many Desis work for Trump (Kash, his deputy press sec) while the anti-Indian animus is obvious

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

Not sure, whether to laugh or cry at this point

man, i work nights and there's more than one leaf blower going in the neighborhood around me right now and i am trying to stay calm.

I have to say that the fact that the people destroying the country are such fucking morons kind of stings.

This is such disingenuous framing. Chinese imports didn’t radically alter the US economy. Deindustrialization and financialization radically altered the economy and China was a beneficiary. The flood of Chinese imports was the only upside from this immiserating process

I’m so glad they are abolishing OSHA because I will finally have the freedom to have my head squashed so my boss who underpays me can get more profit.

The "Xi is laughing at us right now" analysis is so tired and stupid. Doesn't even matter what the issue is, someone will trot it out.

"The sanctions require unanimous approval from EU member states every six months to be renewed." www.trtworld.com/europe/hunga...

This is such a funny complaint from them lmao

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Thieves angry after being robbed shocker! I’m looking forward to the government opening a consultation on legalising theft of one another’s models by AI companies.

So in the past two days, I’ve seen people from OpenAI complain about DeepSeek on the grounds that (i) the app might harvest some of your data and (ii) it might have copied a bit from them, and I’m really wondering how the tech folk imagine we all see their products.

He thought the pardon made him bullet proof. We'll probably see more of this. www.foxnews.com/us/indiana-m...

*coughs up a hairball* do you still like me

“Necessity is the mother of invention,” said Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas. “Because they had to figure out work-arounds, they actually ended up building something a lot more efficient. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/24/h...

Sometimes you meet someone you feel like you’ve hated your whole life

missed connection: i tried to say i was fine but choked on my spit. i was not fine. it went on so long and you looked so frightened, i suggested you watch the news instead of me

"The United States and China are the most important countries in the world today, and they should maintain long-lasting friendship and work together to safeguard global peace, Trump said." xhnewsapi.xinhuaxmt.com/share/news?i...

In light of the history of the way these guys both fought with Trump and then both ended up kissing his ring (and Christie did it sooner, while Marco was still fighting and trying to talk about hand size) it's interesting that Rubio got the State Dept and Christie got a kick in the pants.

suckers that didn't go to my church be like...

Extraordinary quote in the FT profile of Alice Weidel - the AFD candidate for German Chancellor. Asked to explain how her being married to a woman fitted with the party's "anti-woke" philosophy an official said: "She is just gay by biology but not by political conviction."

Doc: you know what helps with depression and doesn’t cost you a dime?! Me: please say posting Doc: EXERCISE! Me: fuck

This tree is on the neighbors' side of the wall between us and it snapped, fell over, and landed on their house. It's right next to our bedroom window but our house was spared. I had the part of the tree that was over our house trimmed back because i didn't like how it swayed in the wind.
