The great thing about keeping a list of drafts is you can use it to chronicle last night's slow descent into madness

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

Because Marisa Mayer is in the news, I just want to share that when I was in graduate school and she was the CEO of Yahoo!, she and I frequented the same very lovely café (Stable on Folsom; it's still there!).

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Lula Goes HARD

Happy 1st anniversary to the comeback of the Bored Ape Yacht Club as a metaverse !

Let it not be said the Midwest has no history or culture 🫡

NEWS: the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders have unionized and the Cowboys have agreed to recognize the union

You know what pissed me off about the Ramaswamy ad beyond the obvious grotesqueries? There’s no EVIDENCE disputing Acton’s life story. There are court proceedings backing up her story. And all Ramaswamy’s got is the (accused) mother saying “nu uh” and somehow that’s enough? FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

This is the ninth (9th) major profile of Emanuel since December 2024 that failed to mention Laquan McDonald.

BOOM! Finally somebody takes down those arrogant little preschoolers and their so-called art: "Adults outperformed children on externally rated creativity, particularly in structured tasks."

Someday, people will stop invoking Mandela as an icon of nonviolence. But apparently today is not that day.

With the election looming, the GOP is calling in the big guns. Which means having a megachurch freak named Timmy dispatch an army of walleyed 23yo home-school casualties with YouTube diction to opposing candidates' rallies, where they will demand those candidates reject and denounce the WNBA.

AWAKE COUSINS AWAKE

It's fucking wild how openly "trying to put a bandaid on oil before the midterms" is Trump's only goal and something he's using our nations armed forces to achieve and all the normal "uh you gotta respect the troops!" guys don't say anything about it

It's fucking great trying all these different cocktails.

The other thing that is missing here is that the turn to online platforms among millennial humanities academics isn’t all about declining opportunities in the academy; it’s also about the rupturing of the possibilities for intellectual camaraderie within the neoliberal university.

See also all the questions to Democrats about transgender rights.

El-Sayed is going to forced to disavow the Muslim Brotherhood at least a dozen times more before the midterms. The point is clearly not the answer. The point is the question. It's basically push-polling.

We went to Milwaukee a couple of years ago for Bob Uecker Bobblehead Night (no regrets) and caught this video of the sausages folding into the service elevator together 😂😂😂

Are LLMs conscious? I SAID, ARE LLMS CONSCIOUS?? *turning around to face the backseat where an LLM lies, nose a geyser of blood thanks to coke it got from a shady character in this Tarantino-inspired direct-to-video 90s movie* Oh DON’T YOU FUCKIN’ DIE ON ME

I had a temp job as a receptionist one grad school summer at Wells Fargo Private Banking. For some inscrutable reason, I told them I understood how the phone system worked, but this was not in fact true. I was there for one excruciating day of accidentally forwarding customer calls into oblivion.

can’t believe OpenAI had someone on staff who thought it was appropriate to record everything that people around him said

They're going to kill us all to build a beach resort.

At the University of Chicago, male applicants are now nearly twice as likely to be admitted as female applicants are. chicagomaroon.com/53804/viewpo...

Given that there are basically the same number of spaces at Ivy and equivalent schools as there were 40 years ago, and vastly more people applying, these schools can basically choose whatever mix of students they want. What Chicago wants, evidently, is a student body that is predominantly male.

Just to be clear: These different admissions rates are not just a mechanical result of more women applying. The most recent entering class was 58% male and 42% female. That is a choice. chicagomaroon.com/53303/news/u...

Maybe doing routine self-induced negative supply shocks as a purported strategy of reducing your vulnerability to rare adversary-induced negative supply shocks is not just a bad economic idea but also a politically unpopular one?

She condemned the Biden U.S. arms deal with Israel, and as retaliation the Biden administration opened an investigation against her. The Trump administration is actually piggybacking off that Democratic investigation. Both parties are cesspools of Islamophobia.

That time someone dumped a toy house on the cemetery wall and, when I crouched a bit, some ✨ Hollywood Magic ✨ occurred.

Do you guys think the little free libraries in my neighborhood want a decade-old run of PMLA?

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly
