I feel like the rules of narrative, comedy AND fairy tales all require that Dersh be denied pierogi three times

And definitely don’t clear off your roof, it’s so much better for everyone when that slab of melted and refrozen ice just lifts off intact at freeway speeds and smashes into the cars behind you

HOBVIOUSLY the solution to driving in snow is to go faster so you’re not driving in the snow for as long, DUUUUH

Which is why physically changing the driving environment so that if he desperately wants to speed it comes at the cost of frequent repairs is the best (but least likely to actually be implemented) option

I’ve become convinced that an alarming number of people including supposed leftists are really into the idea of “an authoritarian, but they’re on my side”

Joining his Orange god in being super horny for atomic bombs I guess

Depends on whether the training is “here’s how to use the lying machine” or “here’s what the lying machine is actually doing and why you shouldn’t use it”

Similar issues to why office parks are hard to convert: the existing plumbing infrastructure is woefully inadequate for apartments

Combine that with the lack of egress for fire safety (malls rarely have windows above street level and they’re generally multiple apartments wide in every direction)

Between the LLMs writing the resumes and the LLMs reading them…

Shout out to the colleagues who ask why I bother studying a settled issue like women’s suffrage.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I mean, if I had an insight into that I might be concerned as well, but right now the pressing issue is the human one

Sure, but “tariff coffee to induce Americans to grow their own” is not a sequence of events actually possible on the globe we’ve got

Trapped under a tabby cat with an increasingly full bladder, send help

mamdani: we should improve society somewhat cuomo: yet i am a hypocrite sex pest! curious!

cuomo's campaign strategy, from what i can tell

Hawaii grows a tiny, TINY amount of coffee relative to what America drinks, and not even covering every square inch of every island with coffee bushes* would appreciably move that needle

*not actually feasible; see, again, the relative finickiness of said bushes

I’m curious about the single mother with children who slept in a homeless shelter last night who otherwise would have rented this $2,300/month apartment. I’m pretty sure if she can afford $2,300/month, we can find something else for her.

And incentivize corporations who AVOID full RTO policies

We've had a perfect experiment in ending rent control: Massachusetts abolished it in the early 2000s.

Rent in Boston did not go down at all, and in fact kept shooting upward. All that happened was working people being driven from their longtime homes.

Would 100% watch a sitcom in which Cuomo and Dershowitz end up roommates, Dershowitz is denied a pierogi every episode in exactly the same way, and Cuomo runs for successively lower-stakes office each week, only to lose again.

I would argue that the single most effective thing would be expanding bike lanes to cover 100% of the city and enforcing not parking or driving cars in those bike lanes

But this would definitely be the second most effective thing

The wellbeing of the person is SO important that we need to pass laws limiting what treatments that person can legally access, DUH

What I would like to remind everyone talking about Sam Altman talking about the “PhD level intelligence” of the new ChatGPT is that Sam Altman dropped out of college so he… has no experiential construct for what grad school even is.

Injuries are an extremely common and normal force in tackle football

Like… there’s a reason they wear helmets these days

The sites sell *fantasy*

They keep the profit for themselves

That’s literally how gambling has worked since Caveman Ogg invented it

Sometimes it’s actually the MAYOR parked in the bike lane while she’s nearby dedicating a protected bike path named after a child killed while riding her bike!

The gambling industry COUNTS ON there being people trying to make prop bets their full time job

That’s where the profit is

“A bunch of parlays were about to hit” were they, were they REALLY FOR SURE? Because if you have that kind of insider certainty I’m pretty sure the gambling platforms would like to know so they can ban you.

The problem isn’t the e-bikes in bike lanes, the problem is e-bikes on sidewalks because there isn’t a bike lane at all or because cops are parked blocking the bike lane or because car drivers are actively driving in the bike lanes
