A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.
I got into a bit of trouble at work a while ago. For telling a very senior guy on an all-hands call that if any of us said during the interview for our current roles at this very company that we needed his "AI productivity tools" to do the job, NONE OF US WOULD ACTUALLY GET HIRED. 🙃

Outlook search can't find an email with a direct word search for a URL received yesteday and puts emails from two weeks ago as the top results for the sender of what I need. Unbelievably worthless product
I saw terrain at the first 40k function I attended that was the destroyed remains of plantation houses with a little sign that said something like 'the only heresy is a desire to return' and I cannot tell you how much I wish I'd taken a photo
Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Bombshell new report out from my investigators this morning spanning our four year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s financial records. This report shows exactly how Wall Street protected Epstein and enabled his sex trafficking for decades. Mega thread following with some key points:
Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, BofA Enabled Epstein, Wyden Report Says

i’m never gonna be able to fire a cruise missile yet the question of using my tax dollars for them has never been up for debate
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
You guys, nominating the person who earned the most votes is now an “ideological purity test.”
just as Americans are “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”, so are all their kids “temporarily embarrassed professional athletes”.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · 2d agothe obsession with trans women in sports is, apart from the abject bigotry, a symptom of how we take amateur sports participation way too seriously in this country.
A lot of people have pointed this out before but a great deal of the ceo propaganda talks about them working 90 hour weeks (where they count shit like golf games and dinners at fancy restaurants as "work"), trying to sell this idea that they're such exceptional people
I think what Rear Window does best is it doesn't make him out to be a lone whacko. Regardless to the veracity of the case, characters are still curious and lured into the snooping just as much as Stewart is. It invites you to feel the same. It wants you to!
The best part of “you’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?” is imagining the tiny frying pan
since I can’t say that one particular one apparently, it’s going to have to be Mason & Dixon
David Weiskopf believes in you@dave.bzky.team · 10mo agoWhat is your favorite English-language novel? (Free spaces for Middlemarch, Pride and Prejudice, and Moby Dick -- what else you got?)
one of my favorites. I could watch it on loop for a week.
Mr. Tyler Crook@mrtylercrook.bsky.social · 4d agoI’m watching Jason and the Argonauts and this movie fucking rules! A dude shows up with a Half decent dad-bod and every one is like “Holy shit! It’s the strongest man alive! we won’t even test his strength because it’s so obvious!”
My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol
Em, midly@lefttheprairie.bsky.social · 4d agoIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.
Today I am obsessesing over the covers of E. R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros" and later Zimiamvian Trilogy illustrated by native midwesterner Barbara Remington. Just an absolutely phenomenal house style for Ballantine Books.
it's about 20 years late to start worrying about this if we're being generous, 40 if we're not lol
Raw Story@rawstory.com · 4d agoConcern is mounting among high-ranking Republicans that the next generation of conservatives consists primarily of "rabid" "idiot" Nazis, according to a new report.
Here's a recommended book-list-interview, for a UK publication. For everyone who has had enough of discourse (as I certainly have): it has a tiny mention of Nolan as the hook, but then we move on to some reading. www.countryandtownhouse.com/culture/emil...
