In 1930, a German newspaper imagined life in the 2000s, depicting people at the dinner table using telephones instead of talking to one another. Boy, did they get that wrong.

If you’re watching the WPBL and wondering more about LA Queens player Brittany Apgar and the prosthetic she wears to bat, @jenramose.online profiled her before the season:

Someone said a genz viewer described 90s movies like Fight Club and Clerks as a whole genre of "white men upset that they have jobs" ... and that tracks, for the era. 😆
After more than 3,000 plate appearances in the Minor Leagues, Eddys Leonard has his first MLB hit! 😄
Coffee: complete range 1-7 (7 being straight milk) though I'm the type of monster who wants all of these to be cold. Toast: assuming this kind of plain white toast, 3/4. Steak: 2.

New: Police in Wisconsin used Flock to create a pretext to search a man's car for weed. Their justification? He drove from Wisconsin to Michigan, a “known source state for marijuana as it is legal there,” and Flock showed he "travels to Michigan frequently." www.404media.co/cops-used-fl...
Cops Used Flock to Track a Man Across State Lines to Create Pretext to Search His Car for Weed
"The vehicle travels to Michigan frequently which is a known source state for marijuana as it is legal there," a probable cause justification reads.

I'm calling it: "Start smoking" is going to be mainstream MAHA / Republican health advice by 2028. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
tbh I think that's a hot take. It's one thing to be lapped and outspent by 2:1 and still get 50/50. But 9:1? In a primary? It means either way the ability of the money cannon to guarentee primary elections is going to be much much more expensive going forward.
Matthew Gertz@mattgertz.bsky.social · 16h agoMy ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
Brown University has a widget that tracks the cost of the Iran war to American consumers (as contrasted to whatever the Pentagon is spending). Per-household cost now exceeds $600. iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
So the US military killed everyone on a medevac plane by testing a GPS weapon. futurism.com/science-ener...

A days-long electronic warfare drill was one of the causes behind the loss of a four-passenger medevac flight.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.
Part of the problem with regularly mass deleting my posts is important things like this being lost LOL

Not worth contributing a click to this bait but the hed here reads like someone who only spends time on instagram and facebook.
New York Magazine@nymag.com · yesterdayOn social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
Welp yet another reason why I'll never buy a car with a giant LCD console
852dude@852dude.bsky.social · 2d agoThis sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.
On a more personal note. As a parent this is one of the hardest things to keep in mind with my kids. Really really tempting to get upset at them for things when I should really be thanking them for trusting me by informing me of the problem.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoI would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is one of those things that makes logical sense but has a very high likelihood of making things worse at the checkout line. (between stores choosing to raise prices on manned registers and encouraging even more people who are incompetent at self-checkout)

Really good piece. "You used to be able to be poor in a city and still live in it." A city dies when its working people cannot afford living there.
Eoghan Sweeney@eoghan.eurosky.social · 3d agoSuperb piece on the death of Dublin, killed by greed. It's not immigrants who wielded the blade; it's our own, developers and property owners obsessed with squeezing every penny of profit out of the city, on the backs of stressed, overworked people they've priced out of living in it #spéirġorm
