I am having an absolutely incredible day at an economy themed amusement park for kids in Japan. I don’t know even know where to start. My kids have been doing jobs all day. They’re earning money. Different types of jobs pay different amounts of money. Some, like cheerleading, pay negative money. 😂

Saw my first in-person cyber truck today. Bigger than I imagined but just as ugly.

13yo and I are amusing ourselves at breakfast by looking up “raccoon” on google translate and seeing how many languages were like “yup, that’s a bear doing its laundry” - German: Waschbär (washbear) - Danish: vaskebjørn (wash bear) - Bulgarian: миеща мечка (washing machine bear)

Man I've been on quite a losing streak trying to learn dota again. Game is hard and I'm definitely not as good as I used to be. I'm actually kinda OK with it. Better than I used to be.

The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You are living inside it. No way back, for better or worse. Either fight to win the future or concede to fascist tyranny taking over our country, the world's largest economy and mightiest military.

Well, this sucks. Unfortunately, there are some really stupid and toxic people on this site.

Jar-Jar Binks Lollipop (1999-1999): A promotional item for "Star Wars: Episode I", this candy featured the plastic likeness of character Jar-Jar Binks, whose mouth opened to reveal a retractable strawberry-flavored sucker, shaped and textured like his tongue. Delightful.

Well I'm given to understand that today & for a VERY limited time, our nation's political violence party is shocked—shocked!—to learn that we currently live in a world of normalized political violence, and would like very much to know who is to blame.

Yeah I keep seeing this reaction, but it’s wholly at odds with the history of these things. The bump Reagan got was short lived and that was the exception to the rule. TR, George Wallace, Gerald Ford all survived attacks but did not win their races.

People who are assuring us that this means Trump is going to win are clearly unfamiliar with the deeply weird lore of this country's THREE mid-seventies presidential-candidate assassination attempts.

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

Deleted an earlier post about Bouie because he apparently deactivated for a planned vacation I still stand by my criticism of attacks on him for not quitting his job. And I still think this site has a race problem that it's unwilling to confront because its userbase is leftwing

Breaking: hackers stole call and text records for "nearly all" AT&T customers. Shows which phone numbers a customer called or texted. A staggering and unprecedented data breach. Data usually only available to authorities; now hackers got it www.404media.co/hackers-stea...

Hackers Steal Text and Call Records of ‘Nearly All’ AT&T Customerswww.404media.co In one of the most significant data breaches in recent history, hackers stole AT&T customers’ call and text metadata spanning several months.

Dota added a fighting game mini game. Cool idea. Kinda weird they added a bunch of common mechanics and frame data but you can't jump.

Adam Liptak should be fired for this. It's not some sort of minor technical error or a debatable issue. He's simply lying.

Scalpers have reverse-engineered how Ticketmaster creates tickets, and are now generating and selling them on their own parallel infrastructure

My sister came and visited the kids. Bradley got a toy Maglev train from China. It makes the actual noises of the real train including the recordings played in Chinese. It's really neat and he loves it. Olivia got a nice braclet (which she loves) she was happier just drawing with her aunt.

We leveled up and now I'm going to be the world's loudest rouge. My character actually has bad Dex anyways, so I'm going to use an adamantium platemail. I've got insightful fighting so i should be fine.

We reached the end of a chapter at DnD last night, where I came up with an elaborate plan to swap a dangerous magical item with a harmless fake from a lord with who was a reckless gambler. It works, and then our bard decides to pull 2 cards from the deck of many things. Now he's trapped in the void.

Interesting to see this line in Biden’s letter: “We are the ones who will bring real Supreme Court reform.” (h/t @incompetusrex.bsky.social)

The RPG class labeler thing is fun but I'm scared to re-roll. Wizard is fine, but I'd rather be Druid, Ranger, Paladin or Cleric.
