Sorry to respond to a meme, but this is in part a local news issue. Nobody's covering zoning board and city council meetings until it's way too late. Obviously, government capture by rich guys and corrupt local officials is the main reason, but the prophylactic is local news.

A Court of Thorns AND Roses? In THIS economy?

If you’re gonna buy half of all available content, make sure your app actually functions. I say this as a frustrated viewer, not as a person working at a corporation.

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

News just broke that Elon Musk made a $1 billion investment in the Ellison family's Skydance, which owns CBS and CNN. Anoher step toward right-wing "media capture," as I wrote about recently in my Stop the Presses newsletter.

today I procrastinated by making a witch hat for my budgie

NASA is still doing cool NASA stuff.

The latest update to region Nino 3.4 sea surface temperatures is not only a new record daily High, but also a new record anomaly, now 3.46 C above the 1991 to 2020 Baseline.

Feeling proud to be an American! It’s been awhile…

It doesn’t matter how good the satellites, rockets, or cars are if he can pull the plug on a whim, because he has done that repeatedly and will do it again.

Paging Lord Huron. “Follow the emerald star.”

If most dems had spines they could absolutely dog walk everyone disingenuously asking about "boys in girls sports" just like this

The deficit hawks on the right will swoop in the moment Dems have power.

Not testing your code before checking in is an amateur move. Not testing your AGENT’S code before checking in is a pro move.

Trump’s ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago: “I don't know how he’s not in an institution somewhere, whether it’s jail or a nuthouse. He’s a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasn’t a lie.” Trump has only gotten worse since.

Ukraine’s neutralization of the Yandex Russian bot farm is yet another reason to throw our full support behind them. They just significantly improved American political culture for us. Bots across the internet are silent.

California, word on the street: Prop 40 - yes Props 41, 42 - no

Los Angeles went from a 104 heat wave to dark and stormy real quick. Deliver unto us the skywater, I say!

Our wannabe-Nazi leaders are once again acting like incompetent clowns. How does raiding Rep. Omar’s home make things more affordable? How does it end these senseless wars? It does nothing but wound this nation further.

Unacceptable. Abolish ICE. We must handle immigration and enforcement in another way. This entire effort is a disaster. You can enforce the law, but not while breaking it.

KCRW just played this classic. youtu.be/zMxpfBONLEA?...

Infuriating. Ukraine is our ally. American leadership has utterly failed.

I’m running this guy in Commander.

Buying oil from our enemy and live streaming firing squad executions are two things that have just moved our country definitively away from our stated principles. That’s evil empire behavior.

Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Game design patents are, by and large, a bad idea. We have been making bosses that adapt to players since day one. Why even try to patent something like this? It’s absolute nonsense. The only effect I have seen is that it makes games worse because people have to waste time talking about patents.

Amazon Prime Video won the distribution rights to the Emmy Awards, the Television Academy announced. The awards show will start streaming on Amazon next September as part of a six-year deal.

"The three-minute clip played to all of the priors of the Democratic establishment, which had remained convinced America would never elect this con man, now confirmed as a raging misogynist....the final nail in Trump’s coffin." Ten years later:

Yes, I do love it when the menu tile shows the winner of the MMA fight I haven’t watched yet, especially while I am searching through the bad UI to find that fight. It’s great. Gud jorb.

How dare you.

The issue here isn’t the eagle, which we have used for centuries. Removing the peace symbol clutched in the talons is indicative of an immature and simplistic understanding of how this world works. We are being governed by clowns.

This was in the print edition of The Onion a few days ago. The Onion remains undefeated.

Just slow rolling our way into WW3, ain’t we?

Frankie Lap is so ridiculous. I do want giant robot vs giant robot battles, ngl.

He’s such a dork.

Stormi season.
