i think the computer should instantly kill everyone who posts anything like this regardless of their politics

Thinking about this all weekend really. Her message was dead on accurate - too accurate, in fact. It’s telling that she hasn’t received the same long term celebration Colbert and others have - she dared implicate not just MAGA Republicans but the ‘liberal’ media that enabled them

I actually kind of forgot about her. I can't imagine this particular message made her a lot of friends

Well, well, well. WELL. That whole “protests made cops feel bad so they all quit” narrative? Looks like it was mostly myth. Excited to read this paper by Ben Grunwald, who compiled a huge dataset on post-2020 police employment. Agg decline was 1%… and bigger local declines not tied to protests.

I still think this and I try to keep it in mind even while 80% of my feed is people expressing outrage and vitriol at anyone who isn’t wholeheartedly promoting some specific opinion about the best path forward for the world

I really do believe that most people are basically good, mean well, and want to have a positive impact on the world

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

I dropped my phone and it's a damn paperweight until further notice. So I am hopping on here on my laptop, on a holiday, to see if the Times opinion section published anything kooky/odious. I have to know!

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

You know what else makes me feel better? Listening to Cake. Something about the irony is comforting in a way I don't want to think about further, but probably should

The vibes on here are rancid lately, so let's talk about something fun. If you ever enjoyed Cracked during it's heyday, you should check out 1-900 HOTDOG. It's like visiting the old internet, and it's great. 1900hotdog.com

Have you heard the joke about Orion's belt? It's a giant waist of space. … Sorry, that was a terrible pun. I give it 3 stars. But I’m sure the follow up will be stellar.

This is still really early, but it's a good time to remember: one should always separate the art from the artist. Also: kill your heroes.

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

He's right! To the gym I go!

if you, like me, are tired of All The Bullshit, may I suggest repeatedly picking heavy things up and putting them down again

Seems like it should be pretty easy for the Dems to simultaneously affirm Biden’s place at the top of the ticket *and* start getting Harris in front of the camera more ASAP to reinforce her competence & bona fides & send the message that you’re voting for both of them. What am I missing.

So many business models in the last few decades are clearly just underpants gnomes. They have no step 3!

SpaceX can't find paying customers for more than half its current launches, which it has to fill with satellites for its money-losing Starlink internet service. Scale has brought lower launch costs but not more viable space-based businesses to pay for them, and doubling down won't change that.

anyway, is everyone good and mad now? fucking stay that way for the next five months, there will be more aggressions and indignities and insults to come. staying mad as hell about it is how we won in 2020 and it's how we'll win in 2024.

"Gutless and proud of it" is exactly the GOP now. It's OK to cheat, lie, and steal as long as you aren't woke. Morals and ethics are for suckers.

Another thing: I'm a white guy and I'm so sick and tired of how chickenshit so many white people are – particularly old white people. Just abject cowards who are terrified of anyone who isn't white and/or as rich as they are. Completely gutless and proud of it.

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Man, it's so great to be inundated with discourse about a single debate performance in fucking June. I love it. Never stop. Replace Joe Biden with the hamburgler, I don't care
