Newsom cannot crash out soon enough

A chart that shows the number of Google searches for each Pokémon. The text says: In honor of Pokémon Day, ACE.com, the free-to-play social gaming website, has analyzed Pokémon-related Google search data across the United States over the last 36 months to determine fans' favorite characters.

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

Side note, it's nice to see in that article that he did apologize to Jordan and Lindo, even if his public statement left something to be desired.

Anyway, what the hell BBC

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

Important context: Today's his birthday

Pretty sure I read that essay. It was well-done, but took me a long time into it before I started to figure out it wasn't a true story, which is... bad, for a journalistic publication, imo

It would be hilarious if one of them wasn't the Secretary of Health and Human Services

I know, right? I just found that out a couple weeks ago

I'm thankful the creator has at least gotten fairly consistent work since then (particularly he was the series director on Mob Psycho 100, which I loved)

The least-stinky picture of that boy I've ever seen

Reposting this old shitpost from Twitter for no reason whatsoever.

“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it”

once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through

I really do hate to defend Newsom, but he is apparently required by law to do this, because California made Reagan's birthday a state holiday 15 years ago, and part of that includes a governor proclamation, I guess.

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

As if Newsom thinks anyone making less than a million a year is really a person

True, it's just already got my hackles raised before even getting to locking the kids inside during the day, and immediately firing a teacher over this

'Synergy Quantum Academy' is such techbro buzzword nonsense

Momo goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I have some questions about those hot dogs and olives in the first pic

highly doubt any of this is true for the record. they said the same thing about UK and Australian age verification and i know people in their forties who discord couldn't infer were of age. don't buy it

Discord is terrible.

Discord

Their card placement leaves something to be desired. Clearly amateur play, they're just putting all the cards into centralized rows, rather than grouping them based on anything like how easily they can be taken.

Oh, that is a fierce baby

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Heads up, looks like your phone autocorrected 'Big Zam.'
