At least it's not a 30% discount at a municipal grocery store. Because that would be really objectionable.

Elon Musk is calling for the execution of the Economist editor who interviewed him. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

Only exception to this: If you live in DC, call every last one of the bastards until we get the right to vote in our own legislature.

DO NOT DO THIS. Congressional software literally checks if you're in the district or not. If you're not in the district/state, you're clogging up lines. If you want to help, as someone you know who lives in those states to call.

So we're all clear: The international legal body that evolved from that which held the Nuremberg trials issued an arrest warrant on November 21, 2024. Almost two years later, the Brown, Muslim mayor of NYC says words acknowledging this, functionally and Jews worldwide become wildly unhinged

You can kill a French vampire with a baguette. It's a painstaking process but it works.

I spent a lovely four hours on a porch last night grilling yummy foods and bullshtting with my oldest friends and nobody recorded a goddamn thing. Do not let these absolute tossers tell you otherwise.

Definitionally, these are not “friends.”

NEW: I wrote for MSNBC about how Madison Square Garden turning off their facial recognition cameras for Taylor Swift is a perfect encapsulation of our dystopian present: where the wealthy can use surveillance to consolidate power, and the rest of us live in a privately owned panopticon.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got to buy MSG's privacy. Her fans aren't so lucky.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.

lowtax speedrun enjoyer@rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 2w ago

zohran is a completely normal (mixed-market socialist/new-deal liberal/whatever) and it’s completely frying the brains of people with too much money or whose livelihoods are built on catering to the opinions of people with too much money

"Do the thing you can do instead of beating yourself up over not doing the thing you're not doing" is honestly life-changing, even life-saving, advice.

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

Q: You're talking about blowing up civilian power plants and bridges. Much of the civilized world would consider that a war crime. Do you? TRUMP: I won't respond to that question. Who are you with? Q: The New York Times TRUMP: I figured. The failing New York Times.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a West Wing style hyper-saturated but not melodramatic episodic hopecore drama series about a progressive political operation that was just the Mamdani administration with the serial numbers filed off would have endless viewership numbers.

"You should do a breakthrough" is how I'm starting every standup with my team from now on.

“You should do a breakthrough” is the new “make no mistakes”

Miller: "It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent Antifa demonstrations not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism." #cdnpoli

*pinches bridge of nose, eyes closed, takes a deep breath* so do we have ANY idea how many living US Senators there are right now?

Mamdani is dramatically more aligned with Western civilization and traditions than like 99% of these panicky nationalist chuds who think Western just means White.

Every NYC Dem having to spend half the primary going after Andrew Yang instead of figuring out how to build a RCV coalition is how we got Eric Adams in 2021. I’m just so tired of people who don’t know how NYC politics works hyperfixating on them.

Just did some distance measuring in the ole Maps and discovered that, with the exception of 1 year living in California, I've never lived more than 10 miles away from I-95.

A. People in DC did not know those fascists were planning to march. B. They marched for 15 minutes and then turned tail. C. People in DC would have been out there had they known they would be there. D. Do people know how people in DC (who actually live in the city) roll?

In my day, $18 of Taco Bell was enough food to kill you.

MJW@wilsonmj.bsky.social · last mo.

I just went to Taco Bell. I got two chalupas and a small drink. It was $18. This it's what people mean when they talk about the economy feeling bad right now. Everything is expensive. Cheap things are no longer cheap. You can't leave your house without spending $50.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

So, people who have way more experience with Pi Coding Agent and local llms than I have: what am I supposed to do when the LLM hits its token generation limit in the middle of an edit tool call and just dumps all of its code to the terminal unceremoniously?
