i dont even like labubu but something about this combo is like a (bad) hat on a (bad) hat in a mysterious way that somehow neutralizes itself

i fear this is the take that finally gets me cancelled but this is the only cybertruck wrap i've seen that does not instantly make the car 10x worse

they get into this in the story “The Board of Elections is only required to certify whether a candidate submitted a sufficient number of signatures, but it does not verify their authenticity.”

Forged signatures found on Mayor Adams’ petitions to run as an independent The Adams campaign said it is conducting a review after Gothamist found signatures that were fraudulently obtained or outright forged.

fantastic journalism from @gothamist.com “Verifying signatures is time-consuming work; for two weeks, three reporters knocked on more than 200 doors in four boroughs and interviewed more than 100 people. “ gothamist.com/news/forged-...

since folks are asking: this is the one i purchased back in the day (i’ve been rocking this for like 4 years), but it’s weirdly expensive now so i’d recommend just searching “magic keyboard + trackpad tray” on your slop adjacent ecommerce marketplace of choice www.etsy.com/listing/1092...

have you ever been so addicted to typing on a laptop that you order a custom acrylic case off etsy to turn your desktop setup into a frankensteined facsimile of a macbook base
