There have to be consequences for this type of fabrication. Electoral of course. But also criminal. Men in suits, in handcuffs: that should be a political promise we can keep
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
what the fuck do you mean "everyone is using AI and nobody admits it." what the fuck do you mean. who are you talking to. you have allowed a demon to devour your soul. begone
This is why they’re going after Dr Fauci: he impeded grifters
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoPeter Navarro: "I had a million doses of hydroxychloroquine in warehouses as the defense policy coordinator that I was trying to distribute to hospitals. And Fauci got the FDA stop me from doing that."
I’m sure that most of you aren’t sending your college transcripts left and right, but it’s required for educators. Parchment, the company that handles those requests is a racket. There’s obvious need for government regulation to stop this predatory company.
Our six year old son is listening to the Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me podcast (a new weekly tradition). And he asked to message @petersagal.bsky.social “Peter Sagal, you’re a really good host for this show and I really, really liked the Reflecting Pool episode and I like that you’re really funny.”
Will I be able to understand The Odyssey even though I’ve only read The Aeneid in Latin 30 years ago?

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.
Our son can’t pop bottles of champagne so he suggested mentos and Diet Coke for when it happens.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
I know it’s a work of fiction, and technically set in Massachusetts, not Maine; but was the sea hag from Widow’s Bay not eligible to run?
First heard about Haaland not through the World Cup but through a fashion account talking about his custom Hermes bag collection. Here he has a Birkin inside a Birkin.
Described Haaland to my son as some sort of ancient snow monster. Ezra shouted from the other room. “Dad, the monster scored another goal.”
America was never going to truly become a Soccer Nation until we strong-armed FIFA in a completely corrupt transaction that benefits us at the expense of the concept of fairness. So, congrats to us!
There are a lot of fireworks. No need to go for a record. That’s never the point. At a certain point, you lose the works. It’s just fire.
Spent the fourth on a small hill in a park in Los Angeles, overlooking and overlooked part of the city. A thousand tiny fireworks shows for families and friends spread over blocks and blocks. So much joy. Don’t let anyone else define what 250 years of America means to you.

any way, spending the holiday in the most american way possible -- working on work i can't do during the work week bc i am busy working on other work
Over the last five nights, I’ve watched Avatar Fire and Ash. I don’t like these movies. And I don’t enjoy watching them. The appeal of the first made sense: a 3D event. The sequel, sure, let’s go back to Pandora. The third… this just has to be somebody’s kink at this point.
We want YOU for our new disputes! That's right, we're looking for cases - the pettier the better. Judge @hodgman.bsky.social and Bailiff @jessethorn.bsky.social are waiting to judge YOU! Without your cases, we don't have a show, so submit your best (and your worst) to us at: maximumfun.org/jjho/
There are at least *three* right-wing text-based social media sites, one owned by The Actual President, another by the richest man in history, and all of which openly foster white supremacy. But those are not the ones every op-ed page in the western world is sneering about
this countrys fetish for punishing those we decide are unworthy of help at the expense of all of us is so completely bat shit
