I'm not voting for any Democratic candidate that doesn't guarantee an original cast revival of the hit teen drama Pretty Little Liars. I'm tired of being taken for granted - if a politician wants my vote they know how to get it. This shouldn't be hard if they are serious about winning.

Lol some dipshit texted his friend he was gonna hijack a plane and "crash ur row only" and a flight attendant saw and turned the plane around and the FB comments are full of idiot boomers and flight attendants talking about how flight attendants are the Real Heroes

I was finally convinced to join DSA three days ago and I can’t say this is doing much for the likelihood that I renew my membership

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

Hahaha yes! Yes!!!

Why is this wild ? GM should not exist, it is a government bailout crap company with products not a single intelligent person would ever buy - thinking history won't repeat - that is crazy - but steal all the money you can before reality hits - that is what is happening across the whole US

This is the most zooshad I've been since someone tweeted that The Rizzler and Baby Gronk were two different people

Chrishell Stause announced that she and G Flip have separated after three years of marriage, adding that she doesn’t ‘have all the information or the reasons.’

Someone should ask Donald his favorite Cheesecake Factory meal

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

The thing about CF is not that it's bad, it's that the menu is huge but 90% of it is 6/10 versions of food. Like why would you get a quesadilla or pizza or a burger or a steak or potstickers from CF. On the other hand, you can't get Louisiana Chicken Pasta anywhere else and it's pretty damn good.

A tough thing in explaining to people why having children is enjoyable is that all the bad stuff is very easy to explain (lost sleep, lost time, more sickness, less sex, etc. etc.) whereas most of the really good stuff whispers.

Secret third thing (American angry about having to hear about British politics)

Mike Goodman@themlg.bsky.social

Even money whether the sane Brits are angrier about always having to hear about American politics or the sane Americans are angrier about having to hear insane Brits opining on American politics with negative amounts of knowledge.

Ok but I'd unironically use this

I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

Look I just said "find me the best cuisine from all over the world, make no mistakes, think agentically" bsky.app/profile/coli...

Colin@colin-fraser.net

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Generally with these programs they've been modeled to hell and back and they have a good idea how it's gonna play. Other companies have done them for large orgs in the past and it turns out most people like their jobs!

Okay I don’t know how many they expect to take this but that’s a quarter of the company, holy crap

Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

You don’t have to know what “The Navier Stokes Problem” or “php” are to be willing to pay for AI. Look at me. I’m a complete dumbass and I use it every day.

Logically if you're gonna see the job market get bad for CS grads it's gonna get bad for Stanford CS grads *last*. Like you'd expect to see UCSB comp sci grads living on the street and instead their first five names I saw for 2025 grads were small tech company, Meta, big tech company, Boeing, Amazon

Many Stanford CS folks do a coterm Masters so I had to watch for a while, but for 2025: * YC-backed startup founder * YC-backed startup founder * Goldman * Anthropic, then AI startup * Uber * Nvidia * Meta, then AI startup * VC (but nepobaby) * Meta * Google DeepMind

The unit economics here are frankly shocking they're so good. This is wildly stronger than I expected tbh.

I mean it's a stupid product, tbf. It's literally just a chatbot on top of existing models. There's no good way to sell it.

I don't see why libs got negatively polarized against "the medical establishment has minimized women's health experiences, once again" in this one particular case, but my guess is bc a bunch of older feminists are generationally defensive of anything that might undermine the reputation of the pill.

also and respectfully "the teacher sent home a prompt for you to come up with three things that describe your kid" is not some beautiful opportunity for human connection and growth it is a mildly annoying task

Half the people complaining about this have an unopened email from their kids teacher asking for volunteers for the craft fair.
