More fun is this photo of my childhood pup, on what one can only assume was the greatest day of her life

Headline from nyt of Cuomo resigning from office.

This day in history, an abuser resigned in disgrace. He will never hold such power again. We won’t let him.

Going to be quite incongrous with my bookshelf full of books on how we can make communism in America happen

A decrepit hardcover book with dust jacket, "Masters of Deceit: The Story of Communism in America and How to Fight It" by J. Edgar Hoover

First page, signed by J. Edgar, to my grandfather, dated 7/25/1958

Started clearing out 40 years of debris from my dad's house this weekend. Craziest find so far:

Did you know that it's important to wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice to preserve the finish?

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

y'all wondering why "the left" is so hostile toward and critical of the Democratic party take a loooooooong fuckin look at this bullshit- internalize it, keep it close to your heart, and maybe rethink your knee jerk support for these absolute clowns

Good thing we're all allowed to ignore his rulings, per him

as more predictably horrifying details emerge about our illegal deportation gulags, I am waiting in vain for a politician, any politician to so much as imply there will be severe consequences for everyone involved from the policy makers on high to the thugs on the ground

Extremely fitting Ben Davis doesn’t know what is and isn’t catchers interference

WSJ is having hallucinations

A light red cherry tomato squeezed between slats in a wood fence, slightly pumped on the edges, making it impossible to remove.

This cherry tomato grew between the slats in the fence and is stuck there forever 😭 #gardencheck

it's so cool that the only idea sports television executives have had for the last 25 years is "what if we talked to someone while they're doing their job" and the only thing any of them have to say is "hey, I'm trying to do my job here" and yet we only get more of it

Why the fuck would major league baseball need an official AI partner have you all lost your fucking minds

Did you guys know Pat McAfee and John McAfee are different people? File that under things I learned today. Not sure why either would be at the homerun derby

Farmworker dies from injuries during immigration raid in Ventura County, family says A farmworker has died after suffering injuries during an immigration raid at an agricultural area near Camarillo on Thursday, according to a family member.

ICE committed murder.

*overthinking a mocktail recipe until I've reinvented lemonade*

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities.

Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.

*and we here at the New York Times are ready carry water for them, no matter how obviously racist!

@kimkelly.bsky.social if you haven't made it up to Port Richmond yet

Corner of Richmond & Indiana in Port Richmond where the street has been entirely covered in trash.

Idk, I'd probably just give the sanitation workers the modest raise they requested so my city doesn't look like this #ParkerPiles @mayorparker.bsky.social

My boss thought I'd be impressed that when doing math it's only wrong like 8% of the time now instead of 40%...bro we have had calculators that are right 100% of the time for decades!

Fun Philly strike update from a city worker: “the office of the mayor has changed their number to 215-686-2181 because of overwhelming calls in support of DC33.”

Ring ring motherfucker!!!

A paragraph from Megan Greenwell's book, describing a private equity firm purchasing a company by forcing the company to take out loans

Reading "Bad Company" by @greenwell.bsky.social and I still just don't understand how this is legal or makes any sense to business folk. How can you buy a thing by making the thing take out a loan to pay for itself? I feel like I'm going insane

The funniest part is that they'll pay Bobby Bonilla $1.19 million later this week

And Van Hollen hasn't texted me asking for $20 yet. Incredible leadership.

8 harvested cherry tomatoes

Tomato time!

If Democrats do not take this de minimis step to protect trans healthcare then I honestly struggle to imagine why I’d ever bother voting for them again.
