Further proof that getting rid of me is an expensive L

Alt U.S. Department of Labor@alt-dol.altgov.info · 7mo ago

The "fork in the road" cost taxpayers $10B. Thanks, DOGE.

Me: “Dang, dude. It’s so nice outside! Why’s nobody enjoying the weather after all that rain?” The homie Chris: “Um, nobody wants to get fuckin’ shot…” Me: “True, true”

Reminder 👇👇👇

Anil Dash@anildash.com · last yr.

It is neither difficult nor expensive to archive virtually everything on Bluesky, and it is trivial for even a relatively inexperienced coder to surveil a large number of accounts and record everything they do and everyone they interact with. You are *fully* on the record here, always.

Jan 6th, 2021 is proof of Zeynep Tufekci’s theory that YouTube (along with 4Chan, 8Chan, and Reddit) is the great radicalization engine of our time.

Wait, the same place where Taxstone is currently locked up?

Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president captured by the U.S. on Saturday, is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The notorious jail complex has been plagued by scandal and accusations of mismanagement.

Congress couldn’t even stand up to support federal workers. You’re bugging if they’re about to do anymore more than strongly worded letters, re: Venezuela

ARSENAL!!!

Reminder: Jon Stewart and Stephen showed us that they were politically unserious when they hosted that “Rally for Sanity.” The Daily Show is a pox on American political discourse. Infotainment is an insult to the public

A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys mocking people who wear masks while talking about What Is To Be Done is exactly what Jon Stewart and the pod saves guys are, it's the most Jon Stewart and pod saves guys thing possible.

POLO COLOGNE IN THE GREEN BOTTLE

I’ve always hated driving automatic transmission cars. Especially newer ones whose design is counter-intuitive

Let’s air those grievances. I want to hear your pettiest gripes on this the holiest of days.

Every Christmas the NY Times tells us to “Remember the Neediest” and “Give back to yr communities.” Yet this is the same paper that has banged the drum for war and refuses to endorse social safety nets that other OECD countries take for granted. The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. Merry Christmas

If you think about it, this is an insane flex.

New York City has bought more than 125,000 acres of land to provide a buffer around water reservoirs. It’s much cheaper than spending billions on filtration systems, officials say.

You ever have random Interpol lyrics pop up into your head. Man…of all the “Post punk revival” hype, Interpol deserved all the hype. But they couldn’t maintain the momentum of those first two albums. In a perfect world, they’d be as big as The Cure circa 1989/90.

Wearing a mask on the plane during holiday travel isn’t a life hack. It’s a necessity.

Some of the most irritating music trends on social media: 1) AI generated videos of cover versions done in a different genre from the original (eg a soul cover of “Enjoy the Silence” 2) Slowed + reverbed anything 3) Sped up anything

I’ll probably be sad about being part of the 67% for a very long time. But from 2020 to 2025, I had the best job of all time. A job I worked insanely hard to get, a job that pushed me to work harder than I’d ever worked for people I’d never meet. Being a civil servant is really cool 🫡

NEW: The technology division within the General Services Agency has lost 67% of its staff since January. This week, the agency abandoned additional planned layoffs. www.nextgov.com/people/2025/...

Streaming quality was absolute rubbish. Normally I’d say leave this one to the experts, but when was the last time any of us watched a fight on PPV, Showtime, or HBO?!

Forbes@forbes.com · 8mo ago

The fight will stream live on Netflix and comes more than a year after the streaming platform shattered viewership records airing a fight between Paul and Mike Tyson.

KNICKS!

Hell is a college bar at last call. They’re playing “Sweet Caroline” and “Mr Brightside” on repeat, it’s absolutely rammed and no one is leaving, and the place reeks of old socks because the lines haven’t been cleaned in days.

KNICKS

Ancient Aliens is easily one of the Top Five Most Racist Shows ever made

Yeah but the FIFA site is BAD. It’s not accessible, it’s not easily navigable on desktop or mobile. I mean, dogggg…look at this filth

Henry Bushnell@henrybushnell.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Inside the making of the 2026 World Cup schedule, the most complex ever... ⚽ a years-long process, then a 12-hour sprint in the Kennedy Center's River Pavilion ⚽ simulations, weather data, countless variables It all came together in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Here's how:

Same goes for Netflix

Gina from Phoenix@gjane77.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Amazon Prime should not be allowed to broadcast sports when their video cannot keep pace. It’s almost 2026 for fucks sake.

Doggg, @jamiecarey.bsky.social isn’t on this list. Further proof that the NY Times = trash

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 8mo ago

While style is most obviously conveyed through fashion, it can also come across in swagger, a gesture and other forms of self-expression. Over the last year, these individuals captured our attention and shaped notions of style in 2025. See the full list. nyti.ms/4rJf4mN

As the SOTY race nears the end, we talk about out top picks and the name brand spots they have to skate in order to win. Listen on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or at the link below. www.mostlyskateboarding.net/2025/12/soty...

Excruciatingly bad production, unnecessary musical guests, poor presenters with zero charisma. Absolute nightmare fuel.

This wildly tacky World Cup draw is a grimly fascinating preview of what happens if the aesthetics of fascism finally get their way.

GUYS, FELLAS, LADS, DUDES: Post turkey greetings. I had my annual physical this morning. This is my reminder to all you wonderful dudes to schedule a general physical, eye exam, and dental checkup.
