40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like β€œbet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

The sound Enchanted Rock makes after sundown in the Summer is quite something. As it cools, it sounds like the whole thing is literally cracking from inside.

Do NYC City taxes still presume they're residents 365 days a year and they have to show in the return which days they weren't in NYC to get a credit back?

I subscribe to Sanebox which I realize is mostly just an elaborate black hole.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

people have completely memory holed this which is a shame because I don't know that I've seen anything like it before or since. Natalie Maines, performing in London, said she was ashamed that George W. Bush was from Texas, and in response she and her bandmates had their lives destroyed

"You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!" totally vibes with "What's your damage, Heather?"

Y'know, it's possible that a lot of folks in our government don't care about actually governing so much as amassing personal wealth and power - and maybe a lot of the hateful things they say and do are just a smokescreen.

If they pass this--an effective ban because every medical facility requires those funds to function--then next up is adults. That's it. Full stop.

The world is on fire and so many things deserve your attention but this is exactly what trans people have been yelling about for years now.

I am motivated by the fact that I don’t think any president should get a blank check to murder as many people as he wants with zero oversight based on his opinion that they were transporting drugs without due process or proof presented to anyone. Jesus would agree with me. bsky.app/profile/atru...

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and β€œwe need them for intellectual diversity.”
