Carter's Dad

OK, I skimmed through the replies and maybe I missed it, but I don't see anyone asking the obvious question: wtf does Louisiana have to do with this? What is Jeff Landry contributing here?

To be fair, it looks like they are predicting The Mother of All Snowstorms for NYC at about the time you would be arriving, so they might have to reroute that flight to Atlanta or somewhere equally remote.

Well, poop.

If, when you hear credible reports of LLMs doing tenured-professor-level mathematics, you wonder how much and what to believe, take the time to go read. It's quite long but that's because it contains a lot of facts. Reads impartial to me, who claim to be skeptical.

All my fellow GenXers:

Oh man, if we can get this to work...

On the other hand, (1) when there's no clouds or Moon the stars are incredibly bright, enough that my old eyes can see them well, and (2) every once in a while I can go out and stand in a windless snowstorm and just watch the snow fall and turn everything into a gesture drawing of itself. 2/2

Winter in rural/rural-adjacent New England is my favorite season. I admit it is cold and dark and inconvenient and fuel costs a lot and if the furnace stops working on a cold windy Saturday night it's gonna cost you to get it started again, all that is true, and I didn't mention the roads. 1/2

When I repost without comment it means I don't have anything to add.

I am having this kind of snow right now too. This is the best part of Winter in New England, this is why I like it here. This and the apples.

Dude has been coasting ever since he invented the Wall of Sound.

The ever-classy Mike Johnson. Gormless nebbish.

And Musk is particularly proud of this early achievement. Contemptible little hominid.

Banger, but thank god for ALT-text.

Oooh, this ups the stakes. BART for Alysa Liu, but a sewer/stormwater utility for Laila Edwards. 👏🇺🇸🏅

Nobody does that.

I think many of us wish that we had been there and done that.

words projected on the front of the USIP building that say “Trump destroyed this Institution, imposing his name on the building, a narcissistic attempt to associate himself with peacemaking.”

New — This was projected on the US Institute of Peace building this evening ahead of the first meeting tomorrow of Trump’s farcically-named “Board of Peace.”

Photo taken by person who was over there tonight. Unclear who’s behind the projection.

NYT story doesn't seem to be paywalled and is worth reading. The judge is a Bush (the Lesser) appointee.

I honestly don't see any winners here. If the students actually got an inadequate college education, getting their money back is not going to fix that. It will, however, make it even harder to get an adequate college education. This is one of those games where the only way to win is not to play.

Little bit more on Tricia McLaughlin.

I always sensed that I will never belong in the billionaire class, there is just something tragically broken in all these people. Waste of what could have been a perfectly fine life.
Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton are billionaires, I'm not talking about them.

And now for something completely different:

It's weird how there's all of us who get how made-up this stuff is and there's also real people living inside this cartoon.

Tricia McLaughlin. I have only seen her name a few times, but it's always attached to some deeply nasty what-are-you-gonna-do-about-it statement. I won't tell you the word I want to call her, but it's uncomplimentary. Now let's talk about Noem & Lewandowski.

Really liking my Congresswoman more and more.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I saw the video and was horrified, but I can't bring myself to repost it so you will have to find it elsewhere. Those people are grotesque, and I'm not talking about their bodies.

“This is not a perfect party.. We are not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission: Our mission, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to house the homeless, to teach the illiterate, to provide jobs for the jobless, and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.”
