Holy crap

this is borderline self-parody www.latimes.com/california/s...

Thank you, Prof. Bessette.

The question "why would I care about something that no human had anything to do with" hasn't been answered by the people pushing this technology

super great that the pharmacy hold music is interrupted every 11 seconds by a voice apologizing for the hold, at which point the song restarts

Don’t forget.

Well played

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

Genuinely amazing that Rodgers, when grading on a scale for the GOP, is like a B tier candidate and he is still absolute ass

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

occasionally I remember seeing the boba fett dude walking around with them massive capped teeth and I laugh

ohhh man I would love it

Nothing about this currently on the homepage of the NYT; a brief article appears elsewhere. The Washington Post hasn't run anything at all. bsky.app/profile/mari...

A lot of the “wow, Wicker really embraces the sexuality of women over 50” discourse kind of misses how old Alexander Skarsgard is

Shipping green iron or steel out of Australia is the most obvious market disintermediation move in the world, and would rip out 3% of global emissions. It'd be a positive move for the economic security of our trading partners as well.

"We won't use it, and we won't lose it and we won't let it change" is at the heart of British NIMBYism.

It's not crazy. Data centers can be built anywhere. If one jurisdiction is run by Luddites, developers go to the next one. Location is commoditized this way, enabling economic growth. Rail has to go in specific places, which can extract surplus or even destroy it due to anti-development ideology.

Easy to reconcile "most politics is local" and "wow everyone in my english-speaking timeline is celebrating the defeat of Bolsonaro Jr in Brazil." We live in an interconnected system with interconnected problems. The fate of the literal Amazon and the machinations of Silicon Valley matter globally.

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

fuck you. trans people come to Minnesota from neighboring states to get lifesaving care that they’re only able to safely get here because of a set of party line Dem votes.

Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

it is hard to sell how effective this was. the far right here was completely lost in the past two weeks because *nothing* of their tried and true methods to dictate public opinion and the media were working. even bot farming views to pump the algo did jack shit

I will never forget the day my parents took us to the Cheesecake Factory. The awe we felt when they ushered us past the velvet rope to our table, bedecked with cheesecakes of every description. The respect they showed us, despite our dirty coal miner’s fingers, despite not knowing how to use a fork

I spent all day writing the thread in my head about how Bolsonaro's win was the culmination of a 20-year project to end Brazilian democracy, with the participation of both domestic elites and foreign actors like the US state department and Meta. This is all true, of course, except he didn't win.

UPDATED – Analysis: Lula presidency saved at least 20,000km2 of Brazilian Amazon since 2022 ✍️ By @orladwyer.carbonbrief.org and @joshgabbatiss.bsky.social 💬 With comments from @claudioangelo.bsky.social Read here: buff.ly/QqRBFfy

Dragging this into the light...in light of Brazil.

Apparently the data that “DataRepublican” didn’t want to show has a D+17 generic ballot (returns are 15-21% left from 2024)

Lula’s win is the first good news for the planet in a while! I bet it shaves a tenth of a degree off how hot our earth eventually gets, which will save millions of lives Thank you Brazil!

sports app

All of this

Brazilian women are posting their tits on Twitter in celebration of the Lula win just fyi

Good website IMO

don't vote for me or my son ever again

my Portuguese isn't great but I think I can work this out

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Thank you, ladies.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

French leftists watching Serbia and Brazil:

Yes!!!

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies
