There’s nothing in the rule book that says a dog controlled by a rat can’t play pickleball

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

Mine was 86 (‼️). I went through a long 1950s calypso phase this summer for some reason. Some fun, surprisingly subversive, anti-colonialist stuff was being published then.

It’d be neat to live in a state that doesn’t continually punish people for being poor.

But I don’t. I live in Alabama. A state that has its policy directed differently. If you are hungry, the state feels you are the problem.

Donate to your local charities please. They do good work.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

The one surefire way to get people to stop saying mean things about you is to send out a press release, insisting that they stop saying mean things about you.

It is difficult to explain this to anyone. Or to explain to anyone who is not a cowboy what holes in the desert are for

Had lunch with my mom who mentioned the tv show Bonanza being from the 50’s and I told her it actually aired from 1959 to 1973 and I know that because I listen to a podcast where someone pretends to be a cowboy poet who hunts werewolves and also reviews Bonanza episodes, then there was a weird pause

Goodbye to Twinkle Cavanaugh, the regulator who did little regulating | Alabama Reflector The outgoing PSC president did little to address Alabama's high power prices. Instead, she ran on Republican identity politics

My column from Monday. Alabama has some of the highest electricity rates in the South. Twinkle Cavanaugh did next to nothing to address that. But she did talk a lot about things like abortion and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and being a living Fox News chyron allowed a regulator to not regulate.

'700 Indian engineers posed as AI': The London startup that took Microsoft for a ride - BusinessToday The unraveling began when creditor Viola Credit, which lent Builder.ai $50 million in 2023, seized $37 million from its accounts after the company defaulted.

β€œBuilder AI, once touted as a revolutionary AI startup backed by Microsoft, has collapsed into insolvency after revelations that its flagship no-code development platform was powered not by artificial intelligenceβ€”but by 700 human engineers in India.”
