Maybe Don’t Talk to the New York Times About Zohran Mamdani It’s remarkable, the people you’ll hear from. Teach for even a little while at an expensive institution—the term they tend to prefer is “elite”—and odds are that eventually someone who was a studen…

"Beneath its humdrum requests, every email said more or less the same thing: Can you explain how reading certain things can turn a person into a socialist—and, possibly, a terrorist-sympathizing antisemite?" lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

But the part that separated them was they were a "better" corporate entity than Walmart. Now that they riffed DEI, they don't have that. So the price differential basically becomes the ONLY thing separating them from Walmart.

Get that bag.

"We want to be like Walmart but more expensive." What the hell, why is this the strategy they went with!?

A thorough and honest eulogy:

From the ArcRaiders community on Reddit: The weirdest Raider Help request I've had so far Explore this post and more from the ArcRaiders community

this is probably the most bizarre request for help I've had in an online game.

this guy had a quest to deal damage to other raiders, and instead of just attacking them, he came prepped with healing items and asked me to take some bullets for him.

"I'm going to keep shooting myself in the dick until you stop me!"

"Um...sure, I'll get right on that."

Enjoying an unhurried and delightful meal at The Table Of Success. My waiters keep bringing me off-menu amuse bouches "from the chef." Ah here comes another crudo. Sublime.

Tighter, no TIGHTER. Right around the trachea.

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

People need to stop saying this. Nixon, with the full weight of the monoculture media against him and a much less polarized environment bottomed out at 28%. 37% is really bad! It's incredibly bad!

Why do they choose such random dates to poll? They polled twice in February, March, April, then skipped two months and did July, then skipped another two months and did October.

I actually think bulldozing the East Wing probably did it. People who are really checked out might not even know about the shutdown, but literally bulldozing the White House to build a big Versailles ballroom is easy to understand.

Not that Google is awesome but if you have Youtube premium you get the ability to transfer your playlists to Youtube music for free: support.google.com/youtubemusic...

The Youtube Music interface is awful, but it does have pretty good coverage of most songs.

My husband asked "what time the kids trick or treat" in my neighborhood and I said "On Halloween when it gets dark?" That's how it's always been in CA, I don't get the whole scheduled thing.

They suck, but earnings wise it's hard to fault them. They spend a LOT of their revenue on stupid shit that goes nowhere, but it's not nearly as much of a meme stock as something like Tesla (I know it's a low bar, but still).

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Atlassian just needs to hire one human who has used a computer before to tell them how a UI should work (and also that people hate it when you switch it up every month.)

I want to scream. THE ELECTION IS A YEAR AWAY. FOR FUCK'S SAKE DID FETTERMAN TEACH PEOPLE NOTHING!?

Intentionally?

"I believe the way forward looks like collectives and worker-owned publications."

100000%. I subscribe to a few newsletters but it's easier to go "Hey, Hellgatenyc/Defector/Splinter/etc has stuff I like, I'll subscribe" instead of deciding I like ONE person's newsletter enough to cough up $5/mo.

Do you also have a stack of VCRs?

Futurama is obviously the canonical example of this.

You can call him a bed bug, though.

From the archives: How the Watergate crisis eroded public support for Richard Nixon In this 2014 post, we explore how Americans’ views of former president Richard Nixon shifted negative amid the Watergate scandal.

It's kind of interesting, those approval numbers match Nixon's right before he was removed.

Obviously this isn't the same as Trump's actual approval rating, but it gives a nice picture of what his floor is. It also illustrates just how goddamn unpopular this.
