Kent's Law: There is no need to fear AI until spellcheck and autocorrect work flawlessly 95% of the time.

This obit/appreciation really captures what a cool person Saint James was. What a fully-lived life.

Trump II as very specifically an effort to erase JFK seems like an underdiscussed angle. Bulldozed Jackie's rose garden, threatening to bulldoze the Kennedy Center, stripped the Kennedy blue off Air Force One, shuttered USAID, put JFK's animal torturing nephew in charge of reviving polio, now this

I’d be worried about that agent learning every negative thing about me and then just emailing me devastating takedowns everyday.

It obviously sucks to live in DC and not have a vote in any national election. On the other hand, I’ve never received any fundraising email or text from any national party or their fundraising subsidiaries.

its very funny that there is now a claim that code is cheap because like.. you're still paying devs and now you're paying Anthropic too if you were a solo dev, code used to be free, you weren't paying yourself, but now you pay Anthropic code is actually more expensive now lol

This is a cool story. www.bbc.com/news/article... H/t @jameshutson.bsky.social for the link.

I can’t help but think this ad has given racist conservatives who were luke-warm on Ramaswamy a socially acceptable reason not to vote for him. “Well, I was backing him, but then that ad …” sounds better at church gatherings than, “[Racist comment here].” In summation, brilliant move, sir!

I loathe the (mis)use of secretly when the worded needed is quietly. Not just in this story but anytime someone writes about finding out something unknown.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

Print this out a wallpaper the shit out of your community with it. The steely-eyed @davidjroth.bsky.social is mad. And 100 correct. From here, an essential read: defector.com/vivek-ramasw...

When quantification ruins fun. The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon was never science, it was a subjective observation that turned into a game. Quantifying it or proving it was not the point, the point was: Can you connect any actor to the prolific and long-careered Bacon in six steps.

DC drivers who keep getting speeding camera tickets.

Which one of you chuckleheads showed the President a CVS receipt?

I learned tonight at the Seahawks game that throwback nights aren’t just the “good blue” jerseys. They also played a lot of New Jack Swing over the PA. And “What I Like About You” by the Romantics! Five stars.

Alexa! Call child protective services.

So frustrating the way scooters and bike shares are just left on the sidewalk.

I know this is not the kind of director he is, but I still kind of hope Villeneuve has a Kyle MacLachlan cameo tucked away in Dune 3

Dude looks like he used to star as Butthead in the India-localized version of Beavis and Butthead.

Reminder for everybody running the Marine Corps Marathon tomorrow: That finisher's medal is going to look sexy as hell on you. GO GET IT!

Mom: “We have Cybertruck at home.”

Allegory of the Mancave.

This is a good line. I’d not seen someone connect the swamp and the reflecting pool before.

It is a beautiful Fall day here in Washington, DC. Just perfect weather. Still time to get out there an enjoy it, fellow DMVers!

Saw a tour bus company with the slogan, "We promise to go the extra mile" and I'm like Thanks? But also now I am a mile away from where I wanted to be? cc: @musicologyduck.bsky.social

Is this because of bike lanes?

What if this gets her the Peace Prize? That would kill him.

Petitioning the Internet Consortium for a disdainful jerk-off motion emoji.

The feeding cats to wolves post, but it is me sending tourists into the tunnels that connect the various Library of Congress buildings.

Chris Wickham, remembered fondly, appreciated finely.

Look who’s decided he does not want to be WH press secretary …

The fact that the president's doctors are giving him the dementia test over and over again -- tracking his decline, most likely -- and that the president keeps bragging about having to take that test should be a five-alarm fire.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

Oh yeah, then why are Microsoft employees still getting sick? Huh?

The Browns, Bengals, Guardians, Reds, Blue Jackets, Cavaliers, Crew, and FC Cincinnati. The owners of every single pro sports team in Ohio have all donated to Vivek Ramaswamy. And not a single one has spoken up about his recent ad. www.foiaball.com/p/ohio-sport...

Reading and talking about Moby-Dick is the new birdwatching and I don't care about that either.

republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists

Trump and his wretched circle of cynical little bigots are counting on you to hate Black women as much as they do. Esp Black women like Ilhan Omar, Louise Lucas, and Monica McIver. He's counting on you not to care about this blatant abuse committed in his name by a corrupt DOJ. Prove him wrong.

100% this and proud to have @lydiakauppi.bsky.social on our team.

Another astonishing victory in the ongoing War Against Metaphor. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Looking forward to reading this and counting how many times “but you could’ve made more money if you …” appears. “So, you just … reaped less profit? I don’t understand what you are saying.”

And it’s NOT JUST THE GOLF COURSE. The entirety of Hains Point, used by fishers, picnickers, runners, bikers, walkers is under threat from this. If he prevails the golf course would encompass the entire space.
