Relaying this answer to her right now, thanks!

$75m bribe to Melania for a $7.8bn return seems like good business to me

Ooh nice 👍

I ran 5K today, child! The answer is “we can talk about it in the morning.”

I got nuthin. My degree is in political science.

Paging @adambecker.bsky.social, please help!

Amanda you’ve gotta call the cops. That’s absolutely an abduction.

Remember when poli sci consensus was that spending money in politics didn’t really do anything

Me: <just sitting here very tired, hoping the 8yo will go to sleep soon.>

The 8yo: “daddy, I know the universe is constantly expanding, but if we DID reach the edge of the universe, what would be on the other side?”

Pretty brave (and maybe a little reckless) of the Pope to turn down JD Vance after what Vance did to his predecessor.

I reviewed that Varoufakis book when it came out and my main comment was “this isn’t a radical break from capitalism. It sounds more like… a mall?”

ALTMAN: And so you can use Sora to generate interesting videos of you and your friends, all with AI.
FALLON: (giggling) So, heh, so that's a video of me in space, wow!
ALTMAN: Exactly.
FALLON: Could you generate a video of me where I'm not just a useful clown for fascism? Where my work has meaning?

😳

Did ChatGPT write this talking point for you, Sam?

Or do you just *organically* suck this bad?

This is going to be a banger.

Prodigy

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

Run them out of polite society. Give no quarter. Ask for no absolution. Consumption isn’t politics but stupid everyday fascism is and we can mock it back into the shadows where it belongs.

I don’t mock anybody as fiercely and unrepentantly as I mock people driving this thing. I point. I laugh. I gun my (superior) engine. I don’t let them into traffic. I don’t let them pass on the right or the left. I will out my car back into park rather than give them next for a parking space.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Me, reading her book review: “where did you learn this kind of language?”

Her:

Yeah it seems like it’s making some rote practice more fun than it otherwise would be for her. Mostly I’m just dreaming of introducing kiddo to FFIV and FFVI.

That’s the one!

Not like this. Not like this.

My kid has started playing a math game-JRPG on the iPad that she picked up at school.

I have never felt closer to her.
