hahahaaaa get wrecked right on Serbia 💪❤️

Why get generational wealth if you can't be bothered to know the next generation.

April 1 upload: “It's the rare outlet of this establishment that actually meshes with the rest of the street frontage, ironic since we're like one block from the under-construction White House ballroom, which by all accounts actually looks more like a Cheesecake Factory than this restaurant does”

the thing about modern software engineering is that it is so solipsist by nature, "working together" is so against the grain that we have special terminology for it, "pairing" so i guess i shouldn't be surprised when we rediscover the hard way that team work is about communication

Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

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.

that final car chase is just one of the most captivating things you'll ever see on film

Not kidding about jumbo blueberries.

it's not the only problem in the world but it seems very clear to me that better ADHD support leads to better real-world outcomes, and that the delta between outcomes for the well-supported and unsupported is frequently enormous

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

“innovation in insider trading” is another reason why we should ban prediction networks faking polls is bad! you shouldn’t be able to easily make money betting on your own faked polls!

A lot of people correctly noting that there are in fact court records, and that Acton's stepfather appears to have skipped town to dodge the charges.

I’m not going to say that every single dude who “discovers he’s poly” in his 40s is a dirtbag but let’s just say the track record is less than great

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...

Must not shitpost on LinkedIn about fucking around with LLMs and tokenizers using l33tsp34k & Cyrillic letters.

How crappy does a charity foundation have to be for *The Economist* to write a whole article calling it out?

My ballot comes by mail and can be sent by mail without postage. If I want to use a ballot dropbox it's next to the grocery store and bus stop 8 blocks from my house. I get text messages on its processing throughout because I signed up for them It really can be that easy and transparent.
