Daughter got her permit today!

So are doctorates for that matter

So could 1250 men take it in a fight?

It's a jawa!

TANK vs TESLA

"We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again"

- ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

It's 70 and sunny and the drive home from the gym with the half top on is absolutely restorative.

Honestly I'd watch the hell out of The Cow

Shamelessly burgled from another location on the interweb

Or the Titanic. Up or down. Whatever.

This is what Disney should be doing with the Star Wars IP.

A day *at* Uranus? What in the grammar is that?

I'd take it if I were PAID $50,000. That should cover the costs of ripping the battery out and doing an EV conversion on my '97 Defender.

Even then I'd be conflicted.

You know, if I could never hear about or be exposed to any information of any kind about Mr Beast ever again, that'd be lovely.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

"Layoffs are healthy" - well she can fuck right off.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

The world generally, it seems

I was SO pumped for S3 and still can't believe how badly they bungled it.

Originally, sure. But that hasn't been the reality for at least as long as I've been working

I mostly enjoyed S1 and 2. Lot of big swings that don't land but the ones that do really do. And the S2 finale has some really frustrating parts but also some of the most achingly beautiful cinematography in all of Star Trek.

Definition of mixed bag.

Firing still has the stigma of being fired for cause. Layoffs = fired for the whim of upper management.

The people being let go are no more at fault than the people displaced by the LA fires.

Personally I think the most appropriate term is "fucked over".

💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Deere shareholders: DEI is in. Bigots are out

Between that and killing the CHIPS Act by firing the NIST team working on it we're absolutely ceding the field.

Overall really enjoyed it. IMO the most unrealistic part was the president taking responsibility for his actions and resigning and going to prison.

Dear Democratic Party: why are you not screaming this from every rooftop? Why are you not holding press conferences with these poor fired people - putting a face on what the richest man is destroying?

We have the mists and the rinse bottles and all of it, but when Austin decides to unleash a full bore cedar attack, saline is like throwing sponges at a flood.

Forecast for this week is a bit wonky

The Chiefs. But really only because I want to see Taylor win back to back super bowls.
