I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

The ShuttleCocks. We were very mature

I think we played with them a couple times, lol

Me in a previous era (1999)

What was the name of your ska band?

The first actually good novel to be written by an American wasn't until the 20th century

I always called my parents collect to let them know I made it somewhere or that I needed to be picked up, they never accepted the charges but the message was clear

Love the Skass

reorganizing my records on this rainy holiday. turns out i own every single george jones haircut

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Phenomenal 🧵

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.

Fair point. When I send invoices for freelance pieces, I'm often asked to include whether I prefer to be paid through direct deposit, a paper check, or cold hard cash in a Cava bag at a pre-arranged drop site.

Video shows feds deploy tear gas in Albany Park this afternoon as they reportedly detain one person.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

And a bucket

Love when the vet does their shopping at the tattoo supply spot, lol

sherman, for the love of god!

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Whenever anyone says how much of the U.S. economy is tied to AI right now, I'm like...damn, what if a single rich person had any idea other than "try to zero out labor costs through theft."

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Ooof, that's going to be a big ask. I'm afraid the club can only spare 23 minutes of Mousa Dembele for a 40th

Michigan Avenue right now.
