the ESPN Misery index thing that everyone's been talking about today. In this screenshot I have a misery rating of 100. My teams are listed as the Montreal Expos, Alpine F1, the Washington Generals, the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, the Russian Olympic Committee, and Glass Joe, the first opponent from Mike Tyson's Punchout.

Man, this ESPN Misery calculator did NOT hold back on me

If you loved The Naked Gun and have not listened to what is to me the funniest and my favorite podcast “Mike Detective” go do yourself a favor!!!

I'm Jewish and I think about antisemitism all the time. I can't tell you how fucking weird it is that Homeland Security posting literal neo-Nazi propaganda generates less discussion about the threat to Jews than a mayoral candidate who believes Palestinians are human beings.

lol this is so good

How far she has fallen

i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number

you can't say (correctly) "Vote Blue no matter who" and then desert the idea when a left-winger wins, and party leaders even encouraging or winking at opposition to Mamdani at this point are fools

The funniest part is that his entire driving force for every decision he’s made in the last ten years is to become the most liked, most popular little birthday boy of all time. And it’s literally made him despised around the world.

the left did their part during Biden's presidency - they weren't the ones gumming up the works, everything that didn't pass was because of Manchin or Sinema

now, in the face of open fascism, a little party solidarity is the absolute least they should expect

Violent Crime in D.C. Hits 30 Year Low Total violent crime for 2024 in the District of Columbia is down 35% from 2023 and is the lowest it has been in over 30 years, according to data collected by the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) a...

As Trump plans to deploy national guard troops in DC, citing "crime that is totally out of control," it's worth noting just how high up, or far down, a news organization includes this fact in its reporting:

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

The government is tyrant-maxing. It’s giving despot

“A legitimate PhD-level expert in anything,” they said.

“Show me a diagram of the US presidents since FDR, with their names and years in office under their photos,” I said.

A shitty map created by ChatGPT5. it purports to be US States with an R in their name, but it's wrong and dumb and worthless just like LLMs.

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

are there Democrats openly saying, "This is fucked and we are going to put a stop to it and make things right"

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.

the fact that reps like espaillat and goldman are doing this is a good sign that mainline and machine dems are waking up to the anger and demands of their voters

we have turned the world economy into the New York Jets

As the United States becomes more brazenly corrupt, we have reached the stage where meetings to plan cover-ups of crimes are not done in secret, but are announced, and are not done in remote parking decks, but at the Vice President's home.

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

Oh wow, that's great news for the Trump administration, which can now confidently release all the Epstein files now that they know for sure that their boss isn't named anywhere in them.

we’ve made it clear that anyone who visits the US could be disappeared into a Salvadoran prison but I’m sure it’s the kids and their avocado toasts who’re to blame

They LITERALLY want dead women to have to carry fetuses to term but live babies to die of preventable illnesses. That’s a GOAL of theirs, not a side effect.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

Smithers lies to Monty Burns that his boos are people chanting “Boo-urns.”

“Uh, no, when you were on the roof they were shouting ‘Trump! Trump!”

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs
