“A childless, single, bald white man as your hero who everyone looks up to because he’s just so damn GOOD” my friend responded.
Republicans will be ruled by whoever comes out of Trump after he takes the Substance
Really proud to have been early to the hating Matty Yglesias party—years I have been calling this shitstain out. Also wow, hearing him do it live you really appreciate he's even more obnoxious than seemed humanly possible.
Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social · 2w agoA helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
If you watch TV out loud on your phone on the subway I should legally be allowed to throw it and possibly you onto the tracks.
Based on a browser funded with public money, and made the founders multimillionaires. One went on to cofound the biggest venture firm in the world and hired a man as a partner because he choked my unarmed neighbor to death. The people who *didn't* become millionaires are still making a free browser.

I'm confused. It's OpenAI—shouldn't they have been promoted?

Strong agree. I look forward to this, but this is the wrong container.
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 3w agoGenuinely excited about this. My one big misgiving is that the original's great mix of one-offs and "mythology" episodes--unique at the time and a big part of the show's success--was made possible by 24-25 episode seasons. You could still do it with 13. I don't think you can with 8.
Ross Barkan?? Like, why? There are so so SO many people who could address the questions of gender in reading in ways that are...you know, interesting. Compelling. I'm not even asking for cancellation, but as someone who once kind of was—why commission this? It feels like lolz for views.
Paul Krugman, pointing out how much the administration doesn't do the work, or the math.
@gruber.foo is an idiot, but I am fond of him—but jfc man, this is completely fucked. When my black and trans and women friends start telling me Twitter is "friendly and inclusive", I'll consider it. Til then, STFU
John Gruber@gruber.foo · 3w agoI'm sure this one won't make anyone angry.
extremely regular to judge people not on their accomplishments, but their auras
Conceptual art! They can never take away the moments you felt when you clicked the shutter...now lost like tears in the rain.

Nerd topic: the last 3 months have really taught me that I do not like Green Lantern. I don't like the nerd discourse, I don't like the idea that willpower conquers all, I don't like the Guardians and how they can never be trusted but people keep doing it anyway, I don't like colors for emotions.
I often worry that not enough of my trans/nb friends know about Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol

V funny, but also *is* Cotton stopping this? Why? It always seems like the last easy bipartisan win, I would love to know why Cotton wants to die on this hill.

Clearly I should be adapting this into a horror screenplay.

What's intense here is that it would be an unhinged story of a zealously devoted employee...except it is all that, but actually the story of the mother of (some) of his children.

Would like a multiversal multiplexer to go to the alt timeline where MASTER AND COMMANDER was a huge hit and they made six or seven of them from 2003-2022.
