Was wondering if I’d need to do a flopsweat button meme between “firing off preregistered Take (sore loser/winner classes)” or “grasp at stuff to whine about” but paused to check; my faith at the site’s ability to dual track has been thoroughly vindicated

that feel when you slander all of america's combat veterans to cape for a rapist redditor
CyberOtters@cyberotters.bsky.social · yesterdaywww.newyorker.com/news/the-pol... Why would the New Yorker do a soft focus "Platner holds uneasy mirror up to America's veteran problem" while ignoring his PMC time? Seems like an important piece of his puzzle not shared by the vast, vast majority of the combat veteran community.

Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · yesterdayThe head of the Minnesota Republican Party is questioning whether gubernatorial candidate Mike Lindell meets the state residency requirement and is eligible to run for office.
My original opinion remains unchanged; but it is only an opinion.
I spend a lot of time complaining about parts of Rob Sand’s schtick but “data centers are whatever as long as they’re paying for their additional load requirements and working with the local authorities/communities & if not too bad for them” is a decent approach for not stapling yourself to a Glonzo

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social · yesterdayA base spec Honda accord in 1993 would run you about four inflation-adjusted grand more than a current base spec Honda Accord which will run until the heat death of the universe while also being superior in every other respect except maybe the convenience of its setup for smoking cigarettes
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · yesterdayalso, cheap stuff has actually gotten way better quality now. this is a 1985 chevy cavalier. 88hp engine (although it was fuel injected!), and basically no creature comforts [a/c was an option, same with an FM radio]. it would last you maybe 100k miles. It cost the equivalent of $27,000 today.

Me: The new agent harness is great. You feed your tokens into the machine. Then you run simulations which, if successful, produces tickets. If they fail you have to buy more tokens and keep running the sims. Once you have enough tickets you can redeem them Boss: are you at dave & busters, yes or no
