Suuuuper interesting, I was not tracking this. The judge found the law criminalizing noncitizen voting is a voter qualification statute, and therefore outside of Congress’s power. Surprisingly, this is an issue of first impression! Decision is here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

awoke this morning with a Vision

lmao

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

This has to be the funniest question AND response I've ever seen in a poll. Less than half of Republican men think they could beat Trump in a fight. What a bunch of pathetic losers.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

@hankgreen.bsky.social I think you're wrong about slop. It's less about effort, than making something creative/expressive in a utilitarian/optimized way. "Slop bowl" is a term with no AI involved. So the real question is "does/will the audience for short form video view it as a creative medium?"

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Either hung out with my whole family at Eataly right before Christmas (wholesome, endearing) or went to see Louis CK on the date of the first Trump Inaugural (horrifically cursed) depending on what counts as a date. The duality of life!

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

how many nights would you guess it typically takes to turn a boat?

Today in “Dudes Rock”: A dude playing Dire Straits’s “Sultans of Swing” guitar solo on…a recorder.

A mechahitler in every pot!

we talk too much about the male loneliness crisis and not enough about the male suckerfication crisis maxread.substack.com/p/prediction...

I like to think that this map of all the regional names for woodlice in the UK could also be a map illustrating the new tribes of humans to be found on the same landmass after The Great Digital Crash and ensuing breakdown of society.

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

Cop: So u have any idea how fast you were driving? Me: It's hot. Ice. Cream Cop: Ma'am Me: Tyra's favorite cold Cop, drawing his service weapon: Ma'am step out of the car Me, sitting perfectly still: Tyra's favorite HOT Cop: Ma'am I will shoot Me: It's something that has not been done before

movies have given us so much technical information about water

Doing my part to bust epistmeic bubbles: looks like the the school district did in fact fuck up vetting and he was legitimately here without legal status and had been lying about background for a while. Not exactly a threat to public order or anything, but still.

In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer. www.understandingai.org/p/ai-isnt-re...

@hankgreen.bsky.social In terms of who has the most DNA you talked about ways to have multiple unrelated genomes, but human genomes are very similar to each other... so do pig heart transplant recipients actually win most DNA? It would be satisfying if the answer was specific identifiable people.

Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when

I love Terry Gross she is a top ten person

We don’t need misleading charts to show that housing is in crisis. The truth is absolutely enough. Use real wages, mortgage data, and a time-constant metric of work: Hours. Clean code, real data, honest storytelling. That is how messaging needs to be done.

Walter Benjamin, “The Storyteller” (1936)

Hundreds of millions of dollars suspended for cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's research (among many, many other equally important diseases and endeavors) and for what? What is the point of all of this? Help me understand how this makes our country better, stronger, and healthier in any way.

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections? in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

This week, ICE illegally denied me entry into a processing facility in my district, and today, they released a statement saying I “[gave] the appearance of a political stunt intended to generate publicity rather than pursue genuine oversight.” I have some thoughts.🧵

Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening

I know JAWS gets a lot of praise for not showing the shark much, but let’s be real, so many movies don’t even show you a shark at all.
