it's 'champing at the bit'

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

As someone who needs a translator for whatever the tech people are talking about, this was quite helpful as an explanation

Xbox news: We have fired 173% of our staff and shuttered all development studios. Our next console will cost 1-3 limbs. Sony news: The Last of Us ReReRemastered is a live service cutscene with 3 battle passes. The deluxe edition is an empty tupperware container. Nintendo news: New switch sports :)

just realized that YouTube is doing the language auto-dubbing for the trivia videos I produce and it makes for some surreal viewing experiences

Dear MLB dot com: At some point you're not allowed to use the word 'just' in this context, and I think you've passed it

Because of the inner logic of the show, The West Wing had to simultaneously reference historical presidents while creating a 'new canon' for the previous few presidents before Bartlett AND have elections take place in the wrong years in order to line up with when they premiered the series

This post is unavailable.

which means that at some point in The West Wing Universe, Congress ratified a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT that would change when elections happened while also not having a reason to do so SO MONUMENTAL that it would radically alter the trajectory of the nation

This is identity theft and I am considering all available legal avenues

How many times do you think you’ve said “don’t care for this new scorebug” in your life?

they can't act on their own, they cannot go rogue. they are computer programs that do what they are programmed to do. they're as responsible for their actions as a grenade is for exploding after somebody pulls the pin

(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

Years ago i was working the cash register at a convention booth where Carrie Fisher was signing autographs, and there was a dead period where neither of us were doing anything. I didn't take the opportunity to say hello, and it will forever haunt me.

Following all the drama about the 'free' AI-vibe-coded Photoshop as someone who has been a day *one* CC subscriber but also 100% fed up with Adobe: I hate everything, and none of you are free of sin

I am actively trying to emancipate myself from the Adobe ecosystem, but I would never ever EVER do so by substituting it with vaporware crap built on claude credits Like, what are we even doing here

I am not kidding: I subscribed to Creative Cloud on day one. I recently did the math, and i have spent over 5 digits on their software. Not pleased about it. Still not going to subvert that by using software built on even less ethical means.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Newsom is a spineless centrist Dem wanting his turn at the lobbyist trough. He doesn’t care about you unless you can write him a large ass check.

Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.
