Sending a bunch of based realtors and off-duty cops into the Capitol building to murder the speaker of the house, in my official capacity of President of the United States.

Me: constantly paranoid about how loud we/my kids talk in our backyard because the sound carries around to like 7 buildings My upstairs neighbor: hour 4 of blasting the absolute worst mid-aughts emo music from their balcony

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

So glad all the media companies I worked for in the early 2000s wouldn't shutup about producing "evergreen content"

2002: "Careful, kids, the Internet is forever!" 2024: "Oh, hey, all the work you did for a decade of your life was just deleted from the Internet for Business Reasons." latenighter.com/news/paramou...

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

Und das liebe Leute ist das Ergebnis von 8 Jahrzehnten deutscher Aufarbeitung. Ich gratuliere allen Beteiligten zur Befreiung von den Nazis. Das rechtsbürgerliche Deutschland ist bereit für die nächste Runde. What. The. Fuck.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

New version of chatbot reaches level of function where it responds to all queries by making a little twisty-wrist gesture with pinched fingers and saying “But isn’t it more *complicated* than that?”

Some neighbors' phone alarm has been going off for the past 30 minutes, the same 2 bars of a jangly little piano riff just blaring out their open window, and I'm not sure what the appropriate response is here... Shouting "wake the fuck up!"? Molotov cocktail through the window?

I've told this story before but I heard "Mass Romantic" by the New Pornographers in a record store in 2002 but at the time the record was only available in Canada. It took me 6 mo to get a copy via someone's FTP server because you simply could not buy it online and no record store in Indiana had it

i hate to have one of these at all but my big "WE DRANK FROM THE HOSE" opinion is that people younger than millennials really can't imagine what coming of age in a time of media scarcity meant - like, I would read about records and movies and not actually be able to see them for YEARS

Football writers should be as attentive to the surrounding political reality in Germany as they were in Qatar. There is so much happening in Germany that the tournament can be used to highlight.

“To use a technical term, it blew my mind,” said Vancouver’s former chief planner Brent Toderian…”They weren’t lazy about it—they didn’t just throw up barriers and ban cars. It might be the best bargain I’ve ever heard,” Toderian said. #Montreal www.theenergymix.com/montreal-add...
