As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

I’ve had a bunch of flights recently move departure time up! All delta, so maybe that means it’s corporate?

It is! Esp a redeye that means they’re now paying for hotels for everyone!

Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.

Delta. Hard commitment to achieving on-time arrivals apparently.

Update: they actually pushed back 5 min early and we all missed the connection. Motherfucker.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

Do we think my redeye flight is gonna hold departure and wait for the 18 people on this delayed flight trying to make the connection, or

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.

Have they heard the good news about Google Reader

That was the correct way to consume the internet I tell you what

“I live my life without a transit schedule, and I like it.”

That’s a great, succinct statement about the benefits of frequent service.

Elon Musk's Satellites Now Constantly Falling Out of the Sky Multiple Starlink satellites from Elon Musk's SpaceX are falling to Earth every single day, an astronomer warns — and counting.

There are now one or two of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every single day.

According to Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, that figure is only going to keep climbing.

Managed an awesome short notice meetup with @niedermeyer.online over breakfast! Very exciting to finally meet a long time moot who taught me exactly how much mobility innovation I can take.

Oh not at all. It’s just the combo of the progressive vibes I associate with Portland and a regressive sort of shtick, coupled with the weather here seeming too cold on average for comfort in a bikini..?????

For all the faults of the ACA and how much I wish it had been real single-payer healthcare, it was absolutely a correct and astute political move toward “Americans should have a reasonable expectation of being able to afford medical care”.

I’ve been in war-torn Portland for about 15 hours now and I’m frankly offended that no one has tried to recruit me to antifa yet

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows "exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation," with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty." Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down." The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote. Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Pope Leo is spitting.
