Good morning, y’all!

I don’t even know how I got here!
You can’t deny- it is an #EarWorm.
Or, an ear slug?

George Santos: "Prison Sucks" Disgraced former Rep pens first letter from prison

He’s complaining about having to wear polyester and walk on linoleum floors. Throw in having your thighs cling to plastic slip covers in the summer and you got my childhood. www.meidasplus.com/p/george-san...

How to Leave Substack. “Unfortunately, Substack willingly platforms, and allows bad actors to monetize, hate speech and misinformation. You should probably leave Substack.” [leavesubstack.com]

Their subtle way of telling you you shoulda gone to Dunks

Nice! and a relatively early one too

Hey then you do know who John Gruber is! 👍

(BTW we were talking about your list at Boswords this weekend and someone mentioned you had a hard time getting a Cuban ingredient. As a Cuban I wondered what - I should have realized once I took a peek. You don't hear much about canchanchara these days.)

Dang you got mentioned on @daringfireball.bsky.social too! That’s a pretty big tech site esp for Apple nerds.

Wow I remember when it was an Italian deli/sandwich shop before it switched to ice cream.

Fed up with big legacy news? Here are 13 independent, worker-owned outlets to support. It’s been a weird time for the papers of record. The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post have all made compromising to catastrophic judgment errors. Most recently, …

Are you fucking kidding

Isn’t this the same Torgo the Thing fought in that gangster/Skrull planet in FF #91, 92 ff. ?

Twitter is a Nazi site. Get the hell off of it right now. Today, Twitter’s “A.i.” text generator “Grok” went full Nazi with a slew of inexcusable, reprehensible antisemitic posts. I’m not going to quote them here. But y…

That Dropped Call With Customer Service? It Was on Purpose. Endless wait times and excessive procedural fuss—it’s all part of a tactic called “sludge.”

New Yorkers are less susceptible to hacky ads stitched together hastily by grifty media men because we came of age standing in tubes plastered with images of dr. jonathan zizmor

Screenshot of a Bluesky post Lauren Follow @laurenkayes.bsky.social It's so cool that cities are like "oweeease only turn your AC on if you're actively dying and don't go below 79 " while the Al nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits Jun 22, 2024 at 5:58 PM

He was underestimated too. But it can ONLY happen if you show up.

Reminder: We have defeated billionaire-backed candidates before. We can do it again NYC! #DontRankCuomo

BREAKING:

The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering".

It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists.

You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE!
