Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

You can run the entire Windows 7 (32bit) Operating System in less memory than what the single web page "bsky.app" uses when running in a single Chrome browser tab. If you rendered BlueSky threads into PDF documents, those PDF documents would require less memory to display than what "bsky.app" uses.

The combined Intel IA-32&64 Software Developer's Manual [ 325462-092-sdm-vol-1-2abcd-3abcd-4.pdf ] is 5363 pages long & Chrome only needs 426MB of RAM to display it in a tab Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" www.gutenberg.org/files/2600/2... only requires 387MB to display in a tab "bsky.app" needs 1GB

If you'd like something even more dangerous, our archive is so old that we don't use these fancy modern rolling stacks. Ours are attached to a motorised chain that runs the length of the room. This means sometimes they like to move by themselves just a little, enough to keep you on edge.

I’m telling you this as a political scientist. The person who is electable is the one who is elected. This can and does change over time. Any and all speculation about “electability” is either puffery or anxiety and is often both.

One way to be safe is to never write an electability take

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

They are obviously unlikely to sweep all of these unless we start seeing a D+15 generic ballot (please please please), but if the DCCC protected all its frontline incumbents and swept all of its targets, we'd be looking at 267 seats.

Discovered a cursed photo subgenre: "grift hands"

This is such an great feature (Rebecca is great!), and I've been thinking about it for a few days. IMO, "Influencer" in the ten-years-ago sense was really a LOT of jobs (spokesmodel/copywriter/etc.) but now it's morphing, at least in part, into "intentionally annoying person" which feels worse.

The Influencer Recession

Once upon a time, lifestyle influencers could post cute photos and make millions. Now they are forced to pivot.

if establishment candidates want to start winning primaries again all you have to do is say that rich people have too much money and that youll prosecute trump admin staffers and republicans that have broken the law

The antitrust trial for the Warner Bros/Paramount merger will take place in March 2027. Paramount must begin paying WB shareholders $7M a day on Sept. 30 until the deal is complete.

it's fascinating watch them throw everything out at miller all at once since the deadline for him to withdraw from the race is like tomorrow, instead of parcelling it out in increasingly-damaging leaks instead

Sen. Bernie Moreno said Rep. Max Miller refused to return his granddaughter’s favorite blue bunny. Reports also show that photos of a syringe and 150mg weed gummies were found in Miller’s bedroom.

Yo you posted this on the wrong social media platform. All we do is talk about how we're broken as hell over here. You're thinking of LinkedIn

On social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
