Instead, we have the guy who Putin clearly dragged through a knothole in Helsinki back in 2018. If I were an Alaskan I'd start planning a potentially-permanent trip to the lower 48.

Evening show, but only if Mickey Hart's interlude is 20 minutes or less.

Murphy is so silly and yes, this IS a great way to spend a Sunday evening.

I truly hope you're able to find a way to (comfortably!) get to yes on that. People deserve no less.

Donald Trump follows Vladimir Putin through a doorway after their meeting in Helsinki in 2018. Trump's eyes are narrowed as he looks at Putin, a look of anger combined with fear. Putin wears a barely concealed smirk, looking for all the world like the cat who just swallowed the canary.

Every time I think about Trump meeting with Putin I think about this photo.

First: not all parents have tech access. Second, for those that do, buy your own domain, host it with Gmail, and wildcard all addresses to your inbox. When you sign up for a service you use companynane@domain.example and then you know with 0 doubt who sold you to spammers. Comcast, for me.

I miss those moments of just making up games of joyful connection, and giggles. Babies are so much work but they're also uniquely capable of "getting" us like no one else.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

If #Google wanted to do something useful with their AI, they could have it default search results to within the last year when the query involves something related to software.

Because I promise the way you did something in Proxmox ten years ago is no longer how you do it now.

If you haven't seen any of Ryan's work, he's interesting. Tries really damn hard to be apolitical, although sometimes reality makes that impossible. Anyhow, his voice is one worth hearing.

ICE is making it very clear what kind of person they intend to stuff into jackboots and hide behind a mask, and it's exactly who you thought it would be. "Defend your culture" isn't remotely subtle.

There were three defendants in the case. Of the three, one had a spectacularly bad case against them. Guess which defendant went to trial. They knew their case was a slam-dunk loser. Why did they ignore the obvious.
Anyhow, I'm glad Meta lost this. They more than deserved it.

The President is literally telling us he wants our attention like he's the drunk college kid whose friends are trying to talk him into getting down off the table at the nightclub.
Oh also, I worked the last Decennial Census as an enumerator. Whatever he builds here, it won't actually function.

Woke up to getting checked, pretty hard. It was warranted, doesn't mean it was fun.
