this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

I guess this explains the oddly coercive tone of the owl.

I think their first mistake was taking a stenography course instead of going to journalism school.

Make a band edible Cake

You blow 6 foot ropes, what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt.

Abstinence-only cybersecurity

This comic is exactly how it feels to talk with an AI booster I know you have these studies, but they're old! The models are sooooo much better now, so stuff done more than 3 months ago doesn't count. Also, a guy I know told me it made him 100x more productive, which is impossible but I believe him

ICE is a menace to democracy and its murderous conduct should be soberly considered. But we should also recognize that these people are weak and sad and ought to be made fun of. Read more: www.theverge.com/policy/96430...

I think it’s important that we acknowledge that Mitch McConnell is already dead and they’re hiding him so that Gov Beshear doesn’t get to appoint a replacement.

There are only two file formats: disguised zips and renamed text files. JSON? Text. EPUB? Zip. CSV? Text. EXE? Zip. SVG? Text. DOCX? Zip. ICS? Text. APK? Zip.

It takes 30-50 years to get a single mile of high speed rail for exactly the same reason they can plop down a data center in two months.

My statement on the end of the old InfoWars, and the imminent beginning of a much better one.

@jenmsft.bsky.social I swear I tried to help myself before bugging you: Why is it so difficult to manipulate Start Menu and Taskbar pins with Intune? It seems like such a standard use case and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I can’t add or remove individual pins, only wholesale replace.

Jira: “You can use markdown. Try it out!” Me: Drops two pages of markdown. Jira: Parses absolutely none of it.

My cardio is so bad my fitness tracker keeps asking if I want to log my workouts… I was washing dishes.

Years ago, a friend asked me why billionaires want MORE money when they could never spend the tiniest fraction of what they have. My answer is that they want immunity. The immunity to do literally any horrific they want without consequence. Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind.

I definitely feel like the torture prison thing isn’t being explored enough. We know about CECOT; where else are they sending these people?

They were pretty clear about it last week, too.

/9 Anyway, a substantial project of the Right is to make it dangerous, expensive, and ideally illegal to speak the truth about them. Don’t give up an inch of ground.

/8 Some people will refuse to accept this. These people are (charitably) uninformed or angry, or (more often) ignorant and dishonest. If it’s on X, which was the hub of “it’s defamatory to call Rittenhouse a murderer,” it’s dishonest AND ignorant.

Cable management by lantern light.

We’re not a serious country

Stop chasing the iron, you stupid goddamn orange. It will hurt you. This is not a game.

The “every President takes money from the treasury” line isn’t getting nearly enough smoke.

Next year we need a Constitution-themed halfpipe.

I referred to a proposed design as “idiosyncratic” and people are reacting as if I called it “idiotic.”

Every time I think I’ve seen the least qualified person possible, they manage to outdo themselves.

Given that every accusation they make is a confession… uh, what the fuck?

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

Then why even bother having a society?

Grabbing someone from a flight that is already leaving the country is absolutely insane.

“The law doesn’t say anything about trials.” –the actual president of the United States

This seems like it should violate some state laws, for which the president cannot issue a pardon. Why is no one doing anything about this?

Perhaps the Gamers are alright

An absolutely terrifying take.

This is absolutely incredible. That VP needs to be arrested and the company sued into oblivion. There is absolutely no excuse for them to have retained a physical key after their contract was terminated and using that key is criminal.

Man, it’s a shame the word Quisling already exists. What are we supposed to call a Schumer?

Just read chapter one of Under the Smoke Strewn Sky to 5 and 4. I have, at times, wondered if they’re too young for this series. 5 does not handle scary things well. From this chapter, I wonder if I’m about to traumatize them, but they’re invested. @seananmcguire.bsky.social how badly did I fuck up?

A cyber attack on Xitter from “near Ukraine” and a suspiciously timed drone strike? They’re hastily manufacturing pretext.

Sorry, kids
