So what happens if Count Binface wins against Farage? Will he take his seat stil in his costume?

@nytimes.com Is there a way to reach your tech support people that actually works? I’ve been unable to log into my NYT Games account for several days and “Report Bug” and “Feedback” aren’t getting me any responses.
Jonas turned his blue jersey into pink. Does that make today his litmus test? #Giro #chemistryjoke
Sad to hear Rudi Gulliani has been checked into Mt. Sinai Total Landscaping.
Pam Bondi is the most recently sub-bussified. Can Pete Kegstand be far behind?
New head cannon: The reason Picard had to tell the replicator that he wanted his tea hot every time is because to set a default, he’d have to edit his $HOME/.replicatorrc file, and nobody taught him how to use vi.
So the US went to war with Iran without consulting the country that’s been shooting down Iranian drones for years, or the country that’s redefined modern war. Do they have a real Not Invented Here problem? I hope Ukraine makes them pay dearly for hauling their asses out of the fire.
Would you believe I'm currently fixing a Y2K bug? I'm importing mailbox files from my old server into a new Mailman 3 server. But starting in January 2000, several people's mailers started putting a Date header with the year as "100". I suspect it was Eurdora.
Begging the question: Is this an insane sale for President's Day, or is it a sale for an Insane President?
If you're going to call ICE "law enforcement", can we at least get them to wear uniforms instead of this mosh-mash of TEMU military cos-play shit?
If I handed my gold medal to Donald Trump, would that mean he’s the fastest over 60 paddler at the United States Canoe Association’s national championships a few years ago?
My wife has my contact in her phone as “ICE” for “In Case of Emergency”. Which lead to a moment of panic when I used FindMy to find her in the grocery store, and she got a popup on her phone saying “ICE is searching for you”.
Greenland should rename itself to “Epstein Files” so that Trump won’t touch them.
When the Dems are back in power, they should pass a law that you can’t name a building after a living person, and give trump 48 hours to either remove his name or die.
Can a decent set of New Yorkers rid us of our pathetic, immoral Senators? I will vote for anyone with a pulse and just a bit of decency to see @schumer.senate.gov and @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social removed from office. These two are a stain on our politics.
Is that the neutral service car? Not the usual dull Shimano blue. First thing I noticed was it said “Trek” on the side but the bikes are S-Works. But then I noticed a couple of other logos and names. #vuelta
The neat thing about a Ring doorbell is that your dog will recognize the notification sound on your phone and bark at the Amazon delivery person from 10 hours drive away.
@paulapoundstone.bsky.social have you heard the ad that was on today’s Dear Crinkle? It was an ad for “The Financial Guys” or something like that and they were obviously right wing tools.

I think we should rename ChatGPT to “An infinite number of monkeys at typewriters”

YouTube tells me because I used some music from the Pogues in my video, it won't be shown in Russia or Beloruss. I'm not terribly upset about that.
I made two drone videos at Saturday's New York State Paddle Championships. First, the short course: youtu.be/-ULqzjotj0Q Second, the long course: youtu.be/7GDZwP4_VR0

My FloSports app every now and then will suddenly switch to the previous stage, and now it’s sunny out I don’t always spot it right away. #giro
Can somebody explain to me why "The RedBull Kilometer" has the word "Kilometer" in the title? The money and seconds go to the first people over the finish line, not to whoever was fastest over the previous kilometer. They might as well call it "The RedBull However Many Kilometers The Race Has Gone"
