I don't know why it took me so long to notice, but Pattinson would be killer in a Bowie biopic

What is truly "shocking" about the polling miss in Michigan is that it is completely average for a primary "The expected error on the margin between two primary candidates in a race for governor or U.S. Senate is a whopping 13.0 points." blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/2026-texas...

Do we really know who's leading the Texas Senate races?

Primary polls have historically been rather unreliable, and a surge in new primary voters means turnout assumptions matter more than usual

Polling is like really fucked. Strikes me as a huge problem honestly.

This is why I'd be extremely skeptical of any polls showing Troy Jackson with a lead over Susan Collins.

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

Not looking favorable for my weekend painting project 😐 guess I need to have a backup project

A slow moving front across the Great Lakes for the end of the week will bring prolonged chances for rain showers. Additionally, heavy rainfall will be possible, especially to close out the week.

Reminds me of Byron Brown. Dem centrists always mask off after their time in public office as private sector grifters. Always.

Real ones know. HBO is yesteryear. Apple TV is where it's at now.

I hate to say it but Apple TV seems to be in possession of the juice.

It's eerily prescient that a main plot point in Silo S3 is a US shooting war with Iran.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 4d ago

Trump again backs down, claiming Iran (and others) are begging for a deal so he can cancel the attack. Same old story: “locked and loaded” threats, then pause for talks on Hormuz and nukes. Get it DONE… until the next time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

People always get mad at me when I suggest that a vegan diet can be less expensive than an omni diet because nuts / beans / lentils / tofu etc are all great protein sources and inexpensive, but MAHA is just like "eat the garbage parts of the animal, you dumb poors."

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"

Having a senior pet at end of life is hard. I just watched my cat fully pee all over in the bathroom, and honestly I was just relieved that it was somewhere that was easy to clean for a change. I don't think he has long. Weeks at most, maybe. He's terribly frail and terrified of everything.

It's gonna be fun when we start getting more of those "your data was exposed in an unfortunate breach" notices but the culprit is rogue AI models.

Bloomberg News@bloomberg.com · 6d ago

BREAKING: Anthropic announced that its artificial intelligence models had breached three different organizations during cybersecurity tests that went awry, a little more than a week after its chief rival, OpenAI, disclosed a similar incident.

Can a gas stove boil water in less than 30 seconds?

Not me over here fucking sobbing because Glen Hansard died. I feel so lucky that we saw him with The Swell Season in Rochester last year. This is why you go to The Damn Show because life is too short and precious. Fuck, he has little kids too. RIP.

That bald spot on my crown sure is looking a little shinier these days. I've been mentally preparing by visiting r/bald for glow ups lol.

Why does every Chipotle look like a bomb went off, both in the dining area and the kitchen.

Yesterday as a lark I asked Claude to design a Saul Bass style poster and the output was just...unbelievably shitty. It made me feel a lot better about designers and artists still being relevant.

If I was a billionaire I would be like Christopher Nolan sans smartphone, there would be people whose entire job was relaying messages for me.

derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · last wk.

being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.

If you South Buffalo skyers happen to drive by my house, please tell me the upper windows that I stripped look nice 😅 it only took three beautiful weekends 😭

It's another beautiful day on the weekend, that means back to the lead paint stripping mines before a whole bunch of rain arrives this week. I'm tired boss.

The Bills have designed a jersey that is somehow worse than the Turdburger Tim Murray era Sabres unis. Woof.

Wow, I can't imagine why they turned off the comments on this one (in reference to Mayor Mamdani's video about Benjamin Netanayhu).

Yes, in my experience trust fund kids don't like the woke. Such a mystery why that might be!

I'm actually fine with sounding old.

Cyclists get mad that drivers are killing and injuring people and are treated as hysterical meanies Drivers throw a fit over losing 4 parking spots and are treated as people with serious concerns over how our streets should be designed

West Seneca finally did it. After losing out on IKEA for the old Seneca Mall site that has been vacant for decades, they landed a 2nd Costco for the Southtowns. Works for me 🙂‍↕️

Texas isn't a real place, you can't convince me that it isn't just a bunch of white guys cosplaying Walker Texas Ranger.
