No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

I've been trying to think of something that tops this all day, but i think "it's also the golden snake" may be the most genuinely funny unrehearsed joke I've ever heard a politician say

Remember, Lichtenstein is actually the name of the scientist who created the country.

Did you know that Trump himself had not posted the video when you defended it? Why would you accuse people who were offended by a racist video of lying about their reactions? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made by someone else? What percentage of Trump's Truth Social posts are made without his knowledge? How many people aside from Trump have access to his social media account? Who are those people? Which of Trump's other Truth Social posts were posted by someone else? How can anyone be sure that posts under Trump's name come from Trump? Why should anyone believe that this particular post did not come from Trump since it is consistent with his well-reported history of racist remarks and conduct? If people can't be sure any post is his, why should anyone take any post under his name either literally or seriously? What was the impulse for the staffer to make that post? Has the staffer been disciplined in any way? Will the staffer continue to have access to his account? What does it say about Trump's judgment that he would choose a staffer with this kind of judgment to have access to his account? Is the anonymous staffer a hastily invented concoction to which you pivoted once you realized that the story was going to outgrow your attempts to dismiss it? How do you react to the almost universal condemnation of the post? The President's late-night posting sprees are filled with lapses in taste and judgment as well as threats and pronouncements that go nowhere. What does that say about the President's emotional stability? What does it say about the President's honesty? What does it say about the President's credibility? Hasn't your own credibility been damaged by your defense of something widely seen as indefensible? What does it say about you that you were comfortable not only defending the video but attacking those who were offended by it? Doesn't the amount of lying Trump does, and that you do for him, undermine your ability to be trusted on anything?

White House press corps, I know some of you are shy, so let me help you get started. This isn't fifty questions--I could only fit twenty-one in alt text--but let me know if you need more!

I Have A Great Idea For Retraining ICE Agents | Defector The several thousand federal agents currently running rampant in the Twin Cities have so far achieved little in the way of legitimate law enforcement objectives, but they have been rather more success...

I have a piece today in Defector making the case for "more training" for ICE agents. A *lot* more training. defector.com/i-have-a-gre...

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale.

It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment.

Where are the others?

I think the largest “technical” audience seeing this movie might actually be PC video gamers… the HFR looks like a AAA game on a fancy computer, but I don’t know if game interstitial/dialogue “cut scenes” are also switching to 24p or if they stick to higher rates. Anyway, do “they” have thoughts?

In the video in the post, you can see that the officer can clearly get out of the way of the vehicle, at first doesn't, pulls his firearm and continues to shoot as the driver has already driven past him. bsky.app/profile/bnon...

Reuters: Brazil’s former president Bolsonaro has surgery to treat hiccups, wife says

I love this guy. Absolutely in love with going to the hospital.

Thinking about that time I got quoted in the National Review about Bari Weiss

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Yeah, I think this one landed in the oddest zone of unmotivated mid-scene and almost random oscillation between 24 and 48… I’d be so interested to find out if non-technical audiences notice and/or have any thoughts on it…

At the very least, linguistic descriptivism should adopt a more elaborate notation of the aesthetics of specific usages. Just as a word use might be flagged as "archaic," so "give" as a verb that means "to make a gift of" should be called, say, "commercialist" or maybe just "smarm."

The Lost in La Mancha of Kossakovsky’s “Architecton”

I think Democrats should offer voters a broadly defined anti-fraud platform. Yes, obviously, start with Trump’s influence peddling, but don’t stop there. Online fraud is massive, almost every phone call you get is a scam, and the solution has to be federal or it just won’t work.

First of all, Hegseth did not do a “war crime,” he committed murder. He had people executed based off of literally nothing. There is no evidence that a high amount of drugs are coming from Venezuela in the first place. Start there before anything else
