It’s hard having topical conversations with people who are mostly offline, because my family was talking about AI and I said “at long last we have created the Torment Nexus” but no one got it.

I'm pretty sure this is about the Dulles people movers but it could equally be about Disney closing Rise of the Resistance for a few weeks because the transports kept breaking down.

Trump: "Between the trams and the Star War thing. They call it the Star Wars. And elevated busses. Nobody knows what's going on."

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Man, tickets for the Amy Poehler live show next month went on sale seven minutes ago. They sold out five minutes ago. There are already resale tickets on StubHub.

The phrase “halftime of extra time” really should not exist.

if you just put some 70+ year olds in a room there’s at least 10 minute period where they talk routes

There is nothing the old men in my family enjoy more than recapping the different routes they have ever taken to get anywhere.

Opioid of the Masses (From 2016)

To many, Donald Trump feels good, but he can’t fix America’s growing social and cultural crisis, and the eventual comedown will be harsh.

I had the biggest surgery on my body to-date on a July 1st, which turned out to be ideal because the attendings weren't letting the interns and residents touch anything yet. By July 4th, though, I assume they're getting their hands in there.

Your annual reminder: Residency begins on July 1st. That means when you blow your fingers off with your July 4th fireworks, the first doctor taking care of you has been a doctor for exactly four days. Plan accordingly.

You can see the MOU on friday at 4:30pm ET, after the market closes

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo ago

Q: When will the text of the MOU be released? TRUMP: I would say sometime after Friday. The strait is open now. But it opens completely.

Can’t stop thinking about the 7 Souls Deep poetry graffiti spot I saw this morning that said “Will the Knicks get a ring before you do?”

In case you're wondering, yes, Trump's schedule lists him at his golf club in New Jersey this weekend. You can't expect him to attend his son's wedding with a demanding schedule like that.
