I am old enough to remember the fuel shortages in the 1970s and the ridiculously long lines at the gas station.

So cool we’ve decided to do that again.

When the Dems retake the House, they should force every one of those DOGE bros to testify and if there is any grounds for prosecution to do it swiftly.

Techies need to have inputs that enforce consequences on their actions.

The only power voters have in an election is their vote. Saying they won't vote for the guy who abuses houseless people and hangs out with Ben Shapiro isn't giving the election to Donald Trump, its pressuring the democratic party to put forward a candidate that doesn't fucking suck.

OK first of all, "WITH A JUDICIAL FINGER IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL DIKE" is an all-time banger.

Also, "31st day of February, 2026"?

This is what happens when you put the laziest people on the planet in charge

Maybe it will happen today

I’m watching the first season of Paradise, which is an engaging story, but the music choices are RUINING it for me.

Like, there’s no way to make a cover of We Built This City sound anything but ridiculous.

This thread is :chefs-kiss:

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"

A bunch of daffodils pre-bloom

Oh, hello, ladies. I can’t wait for you to get here.

Maybe executives are the workforce that AI can replace

Not the general strike I was expecting but it’ll do

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

the US: grok is this

True. Nevertheless I’ll bet at least one of our senators votes to confirm him.

I have read different things.

a print with skulls and a kitty cat watering plants that says please plant native plants or go to hell, with water spraying everywhere

Sometimes you're done with asking nicely.

Our friend @the666cat.bsky.social put a decidedly Philadelphia spin on the appeal to plant native plants in our city.

Please plant native plants
or
Go to hell!

It occurs to me that the tendency for design teams to focus on deliverables rather than on the process that results in a deliverable is one reason why AI is so dangerous.

You’ve got your pretty wireframe or journey map or whatever an AI produced, but did the team learn anything in the process?

I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Does the AI voice also speak the strong accent loudly and slowly? Because if so :chefs-kiss:

I would like an anti-genocide party in the U.S. too.

Tired: Sand in the gears
Wired: T-shirts in the toilets

Just walking him like a dog.

Donald Trump canceled Direct File after giant tax prep companies spent millions lobbying.

Why? Because Direct File let you file your taxes for free.

So today, I’m introducing a bill to make Direct File the law of the land. And 160 members of Congress are joining me.

My in-laws were planning a family reunion in Kansas this summer. That’s gonna be a big nope from me.

Sounds like it’s time for a Kansas boycott until the law is repealed.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

Chapter 1 of Moby Dick, page 1 The phrase ‘Call me Ishmael’, the first sentence of the book, is highlighted in blue, with careful highlighting on the very big C at the start. Above this, written in ballpoint pen ‘His name’

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

Since there’s not much going on tonight, enjoy a bunch of kids playing a face-melting cover of Waiting Room by Fugazi
