Wow look at that, a microcosm of running right and being beaten by those who've been doing it longer and are better at it
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · last wk.NEW: Under Bari Weiss, CBS News has shifted to the right to try to grab some of Fox News' audience. Not only have they failed to do that, but they've driven off so much of their core audience that CBS Mornings is now perilously close to getting beaten by Fox & Friends. zeteo.com/p/mamdani-de...
Anyone know a reliable electrician in ABQ? Woke up to me 1/3 of my kitchen having no power. Luckily not the fridge tho
Hand-writing things is punk now. Put it on a piece of paper, never digitize it, and then burn it, espionage-style

Excited to announce I started a podcast with my friend @trufelman.bsky.social, where we read classic philosophical works and discuss what they can teach us about why we buy, wear, and value the things we do. It’s basically a podcast for people who love clothes, books, and big ideas.
This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning
Much like railroading, American soccer bifurcated itself from the main thrust of international innovation in the 1930s and in this essay I will
Christopher Nolan has done some of us a great service by making a movie that has become a heat sink for all the illiterate chud rage grifters who usually spend all day talking about videogame bustlines
