Panel 3 deserves to be the inspiration for a Matties Through Time series, with the Mattie leaning out of windows of various countries and eras, in the costume of various countries and eras, shouting the appropriate equivalent of "get bent asshole" in the argot of various countries and eras

The Pope's Reply Guys would actually be a decent concept for a bookstore-cash-register-stand impulse-buy humor book

You’re allowed to take that position. I can’t stop you. I think that analogy is fatally flawed for other reasons, namely the difference between “producing a lot of good and also harm” and “producing a lot of harm,” and also the frankly hegemonic role the NYT plays as an employer of writers.

Hurtado was a top-down decision from Bondi’s DOJ stripping immigration judges of authority to bond out detainees who had entered without inspection. So it’s not evidence that the problem is IJs; it’s evidence that this DOJ is successfully transforming imm courts via policy and structure.

The idea that journalists are somehow exempt from labor/management dynamics will genuinely kill me.

This is correct but actually misses the category error here: the REASON they’re doing “The New York Times supports” IS THE SAME REASON that Jamelle becomes conflated with the NYT. WRITERS ARE NOT THE PUBLICATION. PERIOD FULL STOP. Opinion pages aren’t news pages but WRITERS AREN’T THE PUBLICATION.

Here for it, you have a connection who’ll pay travel?

I wasn’t even being called out! It was just, you know the smirk someone gives when you’re confirming their stereotype of you?

Reading this, again, you get the sense that someone at Anthropic knows how the intel community misleads by using definitions of words that are different than everyone else believes. And the people at OpenAI simply don't know or don't care about that.

There was a point last year when the following dialogue happened:

Me: “As I say all the time, commitment to the bit is the highest virtue.”
My interlocutor, a warm acquaintance: “I have heard you say that. All the time.”

I had a few moments of self-criticism. But you know what? TAPS THE SIGN.

I’m CCing @davekasten.bsky.social on this thread because a) he needs a laugh and b) I actually think the two of you might have a very productive thought partnership

The fact that J Street is being used as an AIPAC proxy by efforts like this, while being tagged as “anti-Israel” by the Israeli government, is why we (the Jews) can’t have nice things but also why we (the Americans) can’t have nice things (like the Jews).

“I have lost this competition and found my husband.”

OH I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU: THERE’S AN ORAL HISTORY web.archive.org/web/20240227...

Wow I’m so glad you got to show this to someone for the first time. How did he react

Why haven’t we gotten our Tom Holland Hedwig yet, I ASK YOU

GREAT joke.

IT’S OUR TIME. EVERYBODY CELEBRATE THE WEDDING THIS MOMENT CREATED www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPCJ...

Trying this is SQUARELY in I Wish They Would territory.

I’m not concerned about him I’m concerned about the rest of us

He’s Spanish, there’s certainly a long tradition of it!

Alex Palou needs to go full antifa if Indycar isn’t gonna get outflanked to the left by NASCAR

THANK YOU. I’m shocked only one person tagged me here but I’m very glad you did!

Death. Taxes. Alex Palou.

(I'm still really glad Indycar's back.)

Womp — and I cannot emphasize this enough — womp. :(

Whoops

Unfortunately he is a huge disappointment to the name

NEW: Four federal judges have formed a firewall against ICE in West Virginia — and say they’ll punish state and federal officials of they continue detaining people in ways they have ruled illegal and unconstitutional.
