The glimpse we got in ESB was so tantalizing! I always wanted to learn more about them

“land of the free”

The partisan firing of DOJ attorneys was a huge scandal when it happened during the Bush administration. Where is the accountability now??

He’s already bragging about his most recent cognitive test and saying that AOC wouldn’t be able to pass it 😳

“Entrepreneur and investor Jason Calacanis posted on X about how AI was coming for middle managers and those with ‘rote jobs’ faster than anyone expected. He encouraged workers to become a founder and do a startup before it’s too late.”

Oh, just “do a startup.” Thanks.

It just swallowed a kid who didn’t brush enough

That was a great panel! It sure felt cathartic to acknowledge how perilous the world feels but also to laugh at how dumb these billionaires are.

Ooh they just talked about this film on the In Bed With the Right podcast, it’s on my list

Reminds me of the “Kid Politics” episode of This American Life comparing children’s experiences at the Nixon and Reagan libraries. The Nixon one acknowledged the complexity of the guy, and the Reagan one was straight up just right wing propaganda.

Looks like I’m the first person to check out the audiobook from @bpl.boston.gov!

This is for Grokipedia?? They’re acting like NASA engineers rescuing the Apollo 13 crew except it’s for an AI generated Conservapedia that nobody asked for except their idiot boss who wants to point to something to validate his insane worldview

Genuinely impressed by the food stylist and photographer who did that shot

Paperback copy of atlas shrugged pinned to a foam archery target with a set of arrows

I read Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged in high school. I held onto the books, finally ended up using them as archery targets after college

At least the fuel tank is wearing a condom

Remember when Obama was “elitist” for talking about the price of arugula?

A pointy triangular fossil shark tooth in a hand. The tooth is about 25mm long. The location is a rocky beach at sunset.

Purse State Park in Maryland for finding shark teeth. They are strewn all over the beach. I just stuck my hand into the waves and plucked out a good sized mackerel shark tooth.

It was for a TikTok

Yeah, I always prefer to bag my own too. I never worked a grocery job but I did do retail. Fetching stock was the best, especially when I got to hide in the freight elevator. Solo manual labor is so much more relaxing than dealing with customers.

I always return the cart, but I remember reading a post by a grocery worker that going around collecting carts was the best task of the workday—you get to walk around outside and don’t have to interact with any customers

lol is this groverhaus

I hate that we have to pay attention to morons just because they happen to be rich

For a moment the blue horizontal thing behind you looked like a Wario mustache

Is real estate speculation in the metaverse still a thing? Shit gets hyped sky high and then there’s never any retrospection when it fades away

The last moment where this might have been feasible was when O’Connor mentioned regretting her vote in Bush v. Gore

If I ever want my blood to boil, I listen to the @fivefourpod.bsky.social episode about Bush v. Gore. The entire saga is so insane

Ultegra 6600 in all silver was the pinnacle of groupsets. The only electronic bits I want on my bike are the lights.

His head looks like a hot air balloon

I met a couple of their engineers a few weeks ago. There have already been layoffs and early retirements, morale there is at rock bottom. They were predicting massive cuts if Mars Sample Return gets cancelled.

That Burlington office again. I really loathe knowing these goons are nearby
