thinking back to the time I covered fidget spinners for Big Review Site and I had to get on a video call with like 12 full-time editors who all peppered me with questions and comments about how I should write it. I did hours and hours of research and testing all for $500. for fidget spinners

Someone's about to ask Biden what he'd do if he got a calfskin wallet for his birthday

Breaking news: President Biden and his senior team said they accepted the grim ultimatum they’ve been hearing from almost all quarters of the Democratic Party — to demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to step aside.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

I wanna see this in every game engine/level creation tool. Might have to load up Hammer and get to work

unfortunately the list of people from my alma mater who i think would make decent politicians keeps getting longer and yet it doesn’t include the one who’s actually in the house of representatives

Newsletter: The Shareholder Supremacy has eaten the world, turning the tech industry into the playground of do-nothing management dictators that see human beings as assets and the customer as subordinate to growth - all inspired by GE’s Jack Welch. www.wheresyoured.at/tss/

The Shareholder Supremacywww.wheresyoured.at I promise you, everything that's happening makes sense. It all feels so chaotic, so utterly, offensively stupid, so disconnected from reality that it's hard to understand how Meta can run a terrible company with decaying services that's also wildly profitable, or how Meta, Microsoft and Google can proliferate unprofitable, unsustainable

thinking about how dom toretto has a near-death experience in fast 9 that leads to an embodied flashback, right after a feat of inhuman strength, and that people were more upset about the bizarrely subdued space car sequence than that

In a lot of ways the entire Republican establishment since the 70s has been dedicated to making sure that what happened to Nixon would never be allowed to happen to one of theirs again

the Supreme Court, not content to immunize only Donald Trump from prosecution, retroactively exonerates Richard Nixon for Watergate

Democracy isn't picking the person 81 million people voted for to take over if Biden couldn't go, it's having a bunch of random delegates chosen in an uncontested primary pick someone by fiat

Democrats are phrasing this election as a fight for democracy. But Biden stepping down would anoint his hand-picked successor. That is not democracy. It is not even what a VP is for. Democracy is a brokered convention. Sure, that's messy, but it has always been. When did we become afraid of that?

man it’s still wild to me how good jack perry is now, and so funny that he got a boost off the guy who got pissy at him over the smallest carny thing 🤼

The kindest interpretation that you can put on the Times trans coverage is that the people in charge are toddlers playing with a loaded gun

Waiting for my engraved apology from the people who bought the Times spin that activists were cherry-picking their trans coverage to make them look bad
