I've always liked them but since they've opened in my neighborhood in the Denver area it's had a long line for the last 3+ years. From when they first open in the morning until they close after midnight. 7 days a week. Just insane. I usually go in and grab something instead, much faster.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

So many people don't actually listen to the lyrics of artists they listen to. Reminds of the people getting in a twist about Roger Waters "getting" political a decade or so ago. Did you not listen to the Wall?

It largely already has.

How an AI-generated summer reading list got published in major newspapers Newspapers around the country, including the Chicago Sun-Times and at least one edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer, published a syndicated book list featuring made-up books by famous authors.

Once again AI manages to get it wrong. Only 5 of the 15 books on the list actually exist. Though most sound relatively interesting at least.

Maybe it's the fact that I'm American but I don't remember the 90's that way at all. To me both W and T treated you like shit. While I've never been a fan of infidelity, teens are usually pretty horrible about relationships, so its unsurprising. I think you behaved the best of the lot, to me.

They do it because no one hears the bad things the drug might do, and people turn around and go ask their doctor of it, whether the doc thinks they need it or not. First started under Reagan and expanded under Clinton.

So efficient that he doesn't know how our government is structured.

This checks out.

As someone who lives in Colorado, I'd say we could be another province. We don't belong with Jesusland.

This about sums it up.

Alaska Legislature asks Trump to retain Denali's name instead of change it to Mount McKinley The Alaska Legislature has passed a resolution urging President Donald Trump to reverse course and retain the name of North America’s tallest peak as Denali rather than change it to Mount McKinley.

The Alaskan legislature overwhelmingly asks for Denali to stay Denali. 19-0 in the state Senate and 31-8 in the House. Republicans control both.

Publishers sue state of Idaho over library book bans Lawsuit says its definition of ‘harmful materials’ forbidden to under 18s is ‘vague and overbroad’ and puts librarians at risk

Hopefully they'll have good luck fighting this ban.

🧵Scientific truth doesn't change with Senate confirmations. These facts remain absolute:

➡️Vaccines prevent millions of deaths
➡️Fluoride in water is a great public health achievement
➡️Raw milk threatens lives
➡️HIV causes AIDS
➡️Wi-Fi doesn’t cause cancer
➡️Anti-depressants don’t cause school shootings

Definitely not working they way they'd hoped.

I keep thinking how all these unqualified people are going to destroy things and cost lives. And we are working on recreating Soviet era Political Commissars to approve any public comment from agencies, and to turn in those that aren't showing the correct ideological purity.

More of the expected incompetence by the Trump administration. Created 2 international incidents this week: couldn't be bothered to see how things were done and didn't think that flying military aircraft to a foreign country would be seen as aggressive and bad.

And he couldn't spell Colombia.

What a great way to say it.

They definitely had more calls in their favor this week. And i like the Chiefs as long as they aren't playing the Broncos

The "Alpha Bros" are shaving off their eyelashes because long lashes are too feminine. 🙄

A favorite farside modified for the times.

You might check it Digable Planets if you get a chance. Mixing classic jazz sounds with rap. From the 90's I believe.

Me: wow I'm writing good stuff in this novel tonight, I think I'll just keep on trucking

My brain: dude it's 11pm and we're old, wrap it up

Me: come on I used to do all nighters all the time

Brain: you used to do handsprings too, until that last time

Knees: yeah fuck you for that, by the way

I think someone missed the fact that the man in the street they were talking to was yanking their chain

Ain't that the truth!

The Dude from The Big Lebowski saying "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

I see some folks doubling down on "utterances in the open mean anyone can respond whether they are the intended audience or not," and I suppose if you really want to be that guy you can, and I also suspect you may wonder why you are blocked a lot on social media and told to go away out in the world.
