Honestly, these are sooo good. For some reason I am amazed every time I eat one, that it tastes exactly like a jolly rancher.

The newspapers are not making a big deal of this today. This is a big deal. Someone shot into a Federal building repeatedly, fueled by misinformation and politics. It should be front page news across the country.

hoping that when they say the LLM talks like a Ph.D.-level expert, they mean "holds indecipherable decades-long academic grudges expressed largely in the form of questions that are actually more of a comment"

Transmisogyny is just this bizarre clusterfuck where people treat you like a woman, in that they talk over you, call you overly emotional, sexualise you, judge you harshly on how well you embody femininity, disbelieve you when you say you've been mistreated, all the while insisting that you're a man

A Look Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan Lair

In Epstein's Manhattan townhouse, there is a framed photo showing Epstein with Donald Trump and his then-girlfriend, Melania Knauss.

The photo was cropped to exclude Ghislaine Maxwell.

Framed photos of Steve Bannon were kept in at least two rooms in the mansion. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/05/u...

The "culture of the SEO industry" is working from your back bedroom 300 days a year not getting your Jira tickets prioritised, then going to Brighton and having one to two beers more than you should and regretting it

Trump’s Efforts to Control Information Echo an Authoritarian Playbook
In firing the head of the agency that collects employment statistics, the president underscored his tendency to suppress facts he doesn’t like and promote his own version of reality.

News Analysis Trump’s Efforts to Control Information Echo an Authoritarian Playbook In firing the head of the agency that collects employment statistics, the president underscored his tendency to suppress facts he doesn’t like and promote his own version of reality.

This Peter Baker joint does catalog Trump's lies and censorship, but headline and text tie themselves in journo-cliched linguistic knots to avoid that direct judgment. He's not "underscoring a tendency." He's not an "echo" of an "authoritarian playbook." He is a dictator.

I wish somebody I thought was funny, would run a legal presidential campaign as a satire and just try to skewer trump every day.

They cut budgets to both PBS and NPR yesterday. So some of our favorite cable shows are gone and as well as tiny desk performances are officially done. The Clipse were the last tiny desk that everyone watched together

If You've Asked ChatGPT a Legal Question, You May Have Accidentally Doomed Yourself in Court Sam Altman has admitted that ChatGPT conversations can be used against you in court if they are subpoenaed.

"If you’re pasting in contracts, asking legal questions, or asking [the chatbot] for strategy, you're not getting legal advice…You’re generating discoverable evidence. No attorney-client privilege. No confidentiality. No ethical duty. No one to protect you."
