Agreed. I have never not conflated the two of them in my mind. There must be a reason and this logic is good enough.

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts

Pretty sure we have the technology and bandwidth in 2025 AD to show more than 10 or 20 things at a time in the lists on the internets by default. And yet…

Good news: If you would like to watch Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants on YouTube I have done a painstaking 4k upscale of this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gW...

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“

Depends on the pump. Portable ones can be tough. My little hand lyzene takes a few minutes and is really hard to get it over 80 psi. Definitely wouldn’t use this to replace a floor pump. I’d probably end up carrying both if I had an electric one just because of battery fear.

I ride with folks that have them and agree. Fantastic. On my list of $$ bike stuff I want. One word of warning: they can get really hot so use that extender/shield thing if you inflate a TPU tube that has a plastic valve stem or it will melt!

It’s great when someone has it on the group ride though!

"doxxing" was named after the first person doxed, Robert Dox, 4520 Jacobs Ave, Belview, MN

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

If I understand correctly, Nevada's logic is that Boring Co. violated the law SO MUCH after its _first_ consent decree, that the fine for all instances would be unduly burdensome, whereas $240,000 should be plenty to deter Elon Musk in the future.

I understand that Democrats are not in control of Congress or the White House but it would be interesting to read a news story about why groceries are actually ruinously expensive right now.

Some things I've learned in my first few weeks:

1) There is a grey market candy swapping racket between janitors, TSA agents, CSRs, and everyone else who has to stand someplace all day at the airport.

Hi-chews, sour candies, and gummy anything are in highest demand.

REPORTER: Should ERs check immigration status before treating a dying patient?

LEAVITT: That's probably not a question for me to answer. That's a question for healthcare professionals and legal experts to answer.

(That's not a no!)

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

“Demonstration of knowledge” is amazing.

Hundreds of thousands of people around the world are getting sick or starving because the United States made promises that couldn't survive one United States presidential election

If I had to name one thing that really terrified me in the normalization of fascist laws, it’s the attack on trans rights.

Too many welcome these laws. But even more just stay silent because they see it as a problem that is confined to this small group. It isn’t. Speak up.

“Our corporations and, increasingly, our algorithms, also resemble these kinds of people,” he says. “They’re basically amplifying the worst of us.” Kemp points to these “agents of doom” as the source of the current trajectory towards societal collapse. “These are the large, psychopathic corporations and groups which produce global catastrophic risk,” he says. “Nuclear weapons, climate change, AI, are only produced by a very small number of secretive, highly wealthy, powerful groups, like the military-industrial complex, big tech and the fossil fuel industry. “The key thing is this is not about all of humanity creating these threats. It is not about human nature. It is about small groups who bring out the worst in us, competing for profit and power and covering all [the risks] up.”

It really do be like that

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

If you ask me things could be going better these days

this.

These consultants are going to get us all killed.

My guess is that he originally misspelled it GReATFST and had to correct it by turning the F into an E. 😂

The Senate primary in Maine looks like the next test of old guard vs. new for Democrats. Despite being a political novice, Platner raised over $1 million in the first nine days. But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., reportedly is working behind the scenes to get 77-year-old Gov. Janet Mills to enter the race.

Schumer is out of his fucking mind. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
