He ain't no hollaback Pope

Ok, signed up. I’m going to go and listen to MattGPT in Budapest.

The live 🤦‍♂️ thread will start around 1700 CEST.

Van Aert wins Roubaix and Hungry votes out Orban, an excellent Sunday.

JD Vance is taking being juiceless to entirely new levels

I again note that the most prominent previous use of MADMAN THEORY involved Nixon and Kissinger killing large numbers of people and expending enormous resources in order to obtain the same deal that could have been done before they were inaugurated had they not sabotaged it

can't stop thinking about how casually these monsters are dismantling everything good and useful the government does in a year and a half and comparing it to Joe Biden who couldn't even manage to fire Louis DeJoy in four

“its unilateral disarmament to give up our sex pests while republicans keep theirs” is a really odd sentiment indeed. kind of like arguing that if your house has termites its unfair to call pest control if your neighbor lets the termites own his house

genuinely insane that trump started a war for absolutely no reason and gave iran all the leverage. absolute american failure, probably the biggest in american history

the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing

you can just Not Do That

there is shit that's hard for me! remembering to take in the trash cans is hard! checking the calendar is hard! starting a design doc is hard! not being a sex pest: not that hard

Even Battlestar Galactica took for granted that the Cylons were fully sentient, it didn’t speculate much on how people would start anthropomorphizing machines that weren’t. Or what the psychological consequences would be and how it would reshape society.

wait does this mayor also identify as a vampire?

found out today that there is at least one (1) actual mayor that listens to my podcast about how all mayors are insane. the world is actually kind of beautiful sometimes

Crescent (partially illuminated) Moon and Earth facing the Sun. The Sun is just out of frame to the right leaving flares of light reaching out toward the left. NASA/Artemis II/Kevin M. Gill

This might be one of my favorites from Artemis II. A cinematic alignment of the Moon and Earth, each cradled within the warmth of sunbeams.

Taken from behind the Moon on April 6th.

J.K. Rowling Escapes  Insane Asylum LONDON—Urging the public to remain calm as authorities worked to recapture the mentally disturbed individual, city officials confirmed Monday that novelist J.K. Rowling had escaped from a London insan...

“Ms. Rowling currently poses an extreme danger both to herself and the public, and we will not rest until she is apprehended,” said Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Matt Jukes

There is a path. It’s the path that Michael Vick walked. He has worked with the Humane Society for the last 17 years to educate folk about animal cruelty. He says he’ll do that work for the rest of his life.

Call me when Louis or Kanye devotes even one weekend to making reparation.

Notably, they are against the two things that actually work: work from home and IVF for lesbians.

means testing benifits is a trap.
universal benefits supported through progressive taxation, simple.

They Pay $34 for Burgers. Should Their Child Care Be Free?

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard?

Let’s talk about how this works and why we have older devices. When I started doing cabin integration back in 2017, we actually had a 2020 launch date. We bought the tablets the crew used for Artemis II back then. To not spend as much, we limited our choice to devices that were in the ISS catalog.

oh no who verified Jerry

Direct empirical confirmation of my theory of the "immigration doom loop" in UK politics.... ☹️

Trump criticizes European allies for not helping fix the damage his war against Iran has caused

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

The Prime Minister wants a much closer UK-EU relationship - but has committed to red lines for 2024-29 which constrain how far he can go. My suggestion as to what to do in 2026 and 2027 about this. Ultimately, the politics are about cooperation on immigration (youth mobility, travel, work, asylum)

make sure to abolish the senate, set age limits on every office, and make it korean-levels of easy to put the president in jail. statehood for dc and puerto rico, and revert wyoming to a territory.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

hahaha... yes

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

(i) Proposed provisions specifying that all outbound ballot mail must be mailed in an envelope that: (A) is marked as Official Election Mail, including through designated markings provided by USPS for this purpose, such as the Official Election Mail logo, as necessary and appropriate; (B) is automation-compatible and bears a unique Intelligent Mail barcode, or successor USPS technology, that facilitates tracking and is consistent with the other requirements of this section; and (C) has undergone a mail envelope design review by the USPS to ensure compliance with USPS mailing standards, including barcode placement. (ii) Proposed provisions specifying that, no fewer than 90 days prior to a Federal election, any State may choose to notify the USPS if it intends to allow for mail-in or absentee ballots to be transmitted by the USPS. As part of that notification, any notifying State should further indicate whether it intends to submit to the USPS, no fewer than 60 days before the election, a list of voters eligible to vote in a Federal election in such State to whom the State intends to provide a mail-in or absentee ballot to be transmitted via the USPS. (iii) Proposed provisions specifying that the USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from any individual unless those individuals have been enrolled on a State-specific list described in subsection (b)(iv) of this section with the USPS pursuant to this subsection.

This is what we call an "easy case" for a lawsuit; the idea that the President can order the Post Office to adopt rules refusing to carry mail-in ballots that don't conform to the President's preferred design.

Laughably, obviously unconstitutional if USPS tries to go forward with it.

x is populated by people who failed 11th-grade english, drove three startups into the ground, make mid-six-figures, and own two cybertrucks. bluesky is full of folks who hold two phds, have won prestigious awards in their field, can't quite consolidate their hold on fulltime work, and ride a bicycle

"Republicans too radical, Democrats too woke" is the ideology of the owners of most major news outlets and many of the senior editors and reporters they have hired/promoted. This is Rahm's platform. So of course they amplifying his message. It is their message too.
