Thorn Bushes Have Roses

Nice joke you’ve got there. Be a real shame if I repeated the content of it back to you with aggressively pedantic sincerity.

There is one in Bremerton, WA called Spread! (For locals: spreadsupplies.com) I am sure there’s tons of others that could be the one you saw. I can’t imagine this little one is well known, but I am glad it exists!

Nope.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one

I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things

It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

A fundraising text NEW MESSAGE FROM: Chuck Schumer Meredith, is there anything I can say to convince you to donate $20 (becomes $80!) to help take back the Senate majority

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

Oh come the fuck ON you gotta try harder than that reply guy.

I saw that comment on your Substack and wasn’t sure if I should feed the troll by pointing out you put out a FREE newsletter covering stories we often can’t get anywhere else + you’re covering live events with little time for editing before sending, a few typos aren’t egregious FFS.

You know how fascism requires a smaller and smaller ingroup as it develops?

Well so does neoliberalism.

Palestinians, trans people, disabled people...they become acceptable losses who must be sacrificed to "save democracy."

The only way to defeat fascism is to leave no one behind.

I also could have done without the fat joke about Trump. Sorry to be an internet stranger whining in your replies, it just bummed me out to realize that no matter how much things change and how historic this show might be, late night still hasn’t evolved past that.

I'm firmly on the side of autism in this war on autism.

Donate to GoFundMe If You Like Me: I Got Sued for Tweeting, organized by Detective Pikajew Two years ago, I made a Twitter thread about a lawsuit I’d come acr… Detective Pikajew needs your support for GoFundMe If You Like Me: I Got Sued for Tweeting

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

Yes! My god, a normal response. I am shocked by the replies to this one. So many people rolling their eyes about these just being “tax breaks” when these subsidies are how most of us can afford healthcare! They’re incredibly important and extending them is not just crucial, it would be a huge win.

This is stunning work. And congratulations!

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

I Will Take An Annoying World Over A Sterile One | Defector This week we’re running a small package of essays on the topic of nuisances. Why? That’s an annoying question. Last year, I started an essay with the following sentence: “Too often these days I find…

This is so cool!! Out-smugging people at the farmer’s market is also a great achievement!

Yes, heartbroken but glad to be reading of some survivors (at least six?) though I know injuries are likely critical.

To wrap up, fuck the person who runs that account for shilling for Eli Lilly. There is no medical advancement in prescribing type 2 diabetes drugs for weight loss and claiming that is a novel cure for sleep apnea. There is only profit.

To counter the increased coverage of how expensive, harmful, and ineffective these drugs are long-term, Eli Lilly and other drug manufacturers (and the astroturf organizations they fund) are coming up with new reasons for prescribing them that are nominally not about weight loss; eg, sleep apnea.
