Love is so powerful (it keeps JK Rowling away from you)

Remember in the immediate days after the shooting when we had a few grainy snapshots of his face and people were like ‘idk maybe it’s just a good angle and he’s actually average looking’ and it’s just like no the dude is just actually built like a statue of Apollo

Just had the opportunitiy to absolutely lay into the CEO of a product we pay for, and it's honestly the most encouraging thing I've ever done in renewing it next year. Fuck. I just need you to hear me. I need to know.

Talk of a "Feb 28 Economic Blackout" is spreading on social media.

An aside on this, is that this ÂŤfeedback from people on the groundÂť and trust in their judgment, is the basis of the original Toyota Way (TPS). Here the *only* people who know how to do it better are the people doing the thing.

Hacking is NOT a crime

DOGE is just greping for keywords, someone's gotta teach these guys to just hide zero-width spaces in the middle of certain strings if they're worried about being sniffed out

Can somebody do a wellness check on Drake? I just need to confirm that he's not doing well. I need to know he's suffering.

10 likes and i’ll commit tax fraud

Calling yourself king doesn't make you a king. Marrying the king's daughter, accusing him of crimes before the senate, throwing thim off the senate steps, having your thugs assassinate him, and watching you wife run him over with her chariot is how you become king.

We have an official pigeon pride flag

me: good morning Killbot killbot: good morning sir, shall i kill you this morning sir or prepare a smoothie me: smoothie please killbot: excellent choice sir i shall try again tomorrow

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Killing your brother and marrying his wife only to be haunted by his ghost and poisoned by his son before you manage to kill him with the poisoned blade and no one is left but some bloke named Horatio is how you become king

Somebody has uploaded Black Basta ransomware group’s internal chat server logs to the internet, so if you want to go read their chats about Capita and a host of victims who tried to cover up their breaches, now’s your chance […]

You can tell Nancy Mace stopped paying attention to biology after the first month of 5th grade because 1 in 500 people born with male phenotypes have XXY chromosomes and 1 in 20K born as “biological males” actually have XX chromosomes. Even “biological sex” isn’t actually binary anywhere in nature.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

me rolling out of the target parking lot after my tax return hits

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

This is why right wingers are so scared of woke. At the current rate, 100% of America will be LGBTQ+ before 2212.

I did my PhD on giant flightless birds and finally it’s useful. I agree. Kiwi are not bright. Charlie Douglas, who kept one as a pet, said that “it is in captivity that their dense stupidity can be seen…his intelligence is on about the same level as a spider”.

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Billionaires waring against DEI; Worlds wealthiest individuals seething with jealousy bc under privileged people are getting a couple thousand dollars in handouts to do something good for themselves and their communities they’d never get the chance to do otherwise

Great news, you’ve collected enough plastics in your body to start forming an exoskeleton. The universe will always bend toward crab.

You spend any amount of time really trying to "hit your macros" as it were, and the idea of bug-based nutrient cubes becomes very compelling

NEW: The director of data science and engineering for what is now known as the US DOGE Service has resigned. "If DOGE truly was concerned with efficiency, they wouldn’t have fired experts in procurement," she writes, "who prevent waste up front." This is by @makenakelly.bsky.social

We're finally gonna get a James Bond movie where the villain is a union organizer

thinking about Skyfall (2012) again. jesus christ

If you like Bond this is disastrous.

What’s happening with the US government reminds me of this story (great book btw): Libertarians took over a town in NH in 2004 and gutted its services, cut taxes, etc. Less than 8 yrs later things had gotten so bad that black bears were breaking into homes and killing people for the first time ever.

It’s correct that some folks are going to have to embrace patriotic language even if they’re not comfortable with it. If you want sufficient public support to stop this, you have to push that it is fundamentally un-American (even if you personally understand it’s all-too American in reality)

Saying "democracy is good, actually" was an overly controversial take for X, judging from the replies and QTs

A message we're going to see over and over again from these guys -- "I love that you're hurting all those people and ruining all those lives, but can you please stop at me and my family? I'm maga!" Voting for the leopards doesn't grant you a no-eating-my-face card, sorry

Amicus brief filed to Judge Ho in USA v. Eric Adams challenging request from DoJ to dismiss case, laying out the “unprecedented” events leading to the dismissal request and its (arguably nonexistent) legal viability. Full filing not available yet because it is late as hell.

I think we will see the veil fall in the next 4 years and by that I mean any pretense will be dropped. They will do something extreme and say “and what are you going to do about it?” It’s happening more and more but we’re not quite there yet. You should meet like-minded neighbors and buy a gun

IT'S COMPLICATED
