Born tired. Did you add alt text to your image? It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

The social media accounts for federal law enforcement agencies keep posting the exact kinds of things you'd report to federal law enforcement agencies if a normal citizen posted them.

There's probably a French word for what I experienced reading his posts today, but this version of Andrew Cuomo is what Trump would've sounded like for the last ten years had people in positions of power shut him out of public life instead of enabling him.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

the thing to take from Cuomoβ€”a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albanyβ€”having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

"Zohran Mamdani is a job-killer, not a job-creator," continued Andrew Cuomo. "Not like me. I've created jobs. Mortuaries, mass grave facilities managers, trauma therapists, pepper spray salespeople, sexual assault hotline operators -- they'll all tell you. That's what I told my good friend Don."

Breakout supports up to four players (with teams taking turns, I think strategywiki.org/wiki/Breakou....

Warlords could have four players simultaneously, if you have four paddles.

Good to see the kindness that permeated the original series is retained. The writing was always kind to the characters and the audience, without pandering, in a way that's extremely rare. That was what elevated it above just about everything else.

Maybe respond, "Do you have a billion dollars? If not, you're going to pay taxes or you're going to jail. If you do have a billion dollars, of course you can do anything you want, this country is yours for the taking."

I send a few bucks a month to the maintainer of the Mastodon instance I'm on. It's nice knowing there's a guy, gal, etc. who has no motivations other than maintaining a nice space. No advertisers to pacify, no surveillance to tend to, just keeping the Nazis and spammers and child porn out.

I'm so mad people let Facebook marketplace take them away from God's light (Craigslist). Facebook marketplace is worse in literally every way, except that's where all the people are.

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

It's good! The episodes where Goggins is the big bad are particularly worthwhile. It's a little cheesy, but in a fun way.

We can do it with sed, too:

echo -n "$1"|sed "s/[^$2]//gI"|wc -c

Not really shorter, but different.

Did someone say golf?

echo 'Blueberry'|grep -io 'b'|wc -l

Or, genericized, as yours is:

echo "$1"|grep -io "$2"|wc -l

I don't feel like words are sufficient to correct this situation. There are modern bands that could be considered heirs apparent to Talking Heads. And, then there's LCD Soundsystem. Those are two disparate sets.

If you are asking "why are Dems talking about Sweeney instead of egg prices?" you are either a) an absolutely hopeless mark for grifters, or b) one of those grifters.

For "Sweeney," substitute any one of the dozens of culture-war fights over the last decade. The *right* wants these, not the left.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.
