Waiting for ol' whatshisname to come through and tell you how your "smug self-righteousness is a bad look" again. 🤡

Why? Why spend time on this? Why waste effort on this?

"I'll connect you with [department] and pass along this information so you don't have to repeat yourself" is canonically never, ever true.

Lordy but the cope is strong with y'all.

It's intentional. The answer is in your question. I'm not even being snarky. There's nothing to hold them to account.

It's wildly dumb that 3+ weeks out it's cheaper to fly from Newark to Boston than it is to take a train.

Sic semper proditores.

40, assuming I haven't forgotten any.

Saw it at the grocery store last week.

I was recommended two people to follow as "reasonable" AI enthusiasts. One was good! The other mostly just whines about how much everyone hates AI.

So the recommendations were about as accurate as AI in and of itself.

Why does "Is Doug E. Fresh there?" / "No he's not in right now. [click]" give me chills all these years later?

I don't know... if I choose Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter, I think I have the brainpower to invent... Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter. That's just science right there.

I'm not out here to make life even more difficult for journalists, but if a reporter is covering a group that is targeted by the current administration, tagging people who are in that group to increase reach seems like a bad idea.

I would like to secure New Jersey's borders against these people.

The only thing this chart says is that AllSides has no idea how to categorize voices.

Oh yeah, not even close to enough. I'd imagine PATH and the NY Waterway ferries are going to be nuts as well.

Luckily (?) it doesn't affect the buses, though I need to look up whether the engineers consider that crossing the picket line.

The cold adolescent Nietzschean vision of superheroes, power as pornography, could not die fast enough, and be buried deep enough.

100% RTing this to poke @unkljee.bsky.social

Rasczak from Starship Troopers saying "I only have one rule: Everyone writes, no one quits. If you use ChatGPT, I'll kill you myself."

We need educators like this

Jesus, that's a line.

You want bacon? Taylor ham, Canadian ham, pork roll? A slice of ham, or turkey? Ooo, maybe a slice of tomato instead of the ketchup? All good. The recipe above is a nice base: egg and cheese on a roll. But with flavor.

Also it's maybe 7 minutes start to finish. Enjoy.

I have a hot sauce, Salt Pepper Ketchup (shoutout Jersey Barnfire) which is perfect. If you don't, get hot pepper: chipotle, ancho, cayenne; sprinkle on the egg and add some ketchup. You got salt, pepper, and slightly spicy ketchup plus cheddar and horseradish on a toasted kaiser roll. Perfection.

While the egg is frying (use maybe a bit of butter and a bit of olive oil), smear some pub cheese, cheddar and horseradish flavor, on the kaiser roll. Flip the egg. When it's done, ease the egg onto the roll. Salt. Pepper. Now, here comes the fun part....

Look, here's what you do, you take a kaiser roll (shoutout Calandra's) you split it and you toast it on a small frying pan, medium heat. Roll comes off, crack an egg into the pan. I like using one of those circular form things, but maybe you're more skilled in keeping your fried egg manageable....

I can't taste the difference between regular and premium. FILL. THAT. FRIDGE.

Repeating my mantra: "You don't have to say anything about this. You don't have to have an opinion on this."

Congratulations, Mark!

What's a line or a bar that haunts you? I'll go first:

"Everything dies, baby, that's a fact. But maybe everything that dies, someday comes back."

Also, while the piece is ... not great, it doesn't seem to be worthy of death threats. Mild mocking, sure, but death threats?
