Even for the Boston marathon, which has a ridiculous qualifying time, there’s a way to lean in to the “here’s to all you obsessives here this weekend” without the Fuck You to 99% of their customer base.

The Benn Jordan infrasound thing has think has shifted me from skeptical to “regulate them like heavy industry”

i’m such a stupid fucking mark for trying to “work” and “follow the law”

Aren’t the data centers, by and large, being built for training, not inference?

there’s real beauty in this world

a big, huge difference between trump I and trump II is that trump I cabinet officials and spokespeople and mike pence all occasionally behaved like they had actual jobs

It’s sushi

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

Israel and Trump are both claiming they never agreed to the ceasefire covering Lebanon, and Israel wasn't part of the negotiation from which both Iran and Pakistan are claiming that Lebanon was a part of the ceasefire, so yeah, I think that's probably at least a little bit Trump's fault.

Not a single good bar in the whole damn airport. Best option is 6 seat brewery bar slapped on the side of an atrium, followed closely by dale earnhardt jr’s knock off version of Blake Shelton’s shitty airport bar

No need to gatekeep, it’s a whole stellantis thing

AI for coding, automating and managing tech processes? the sky is the limit.

AI for creative work? The ceiling is maybe “more convenient thesaurus”

I think there’s also a perception bias with this. Tech bros evangelize AI because it can actually be an incredibly useful tool in the subject they focus on. And then they go on to assume that level of usefulness applies to every other subject that they don’t have the same familiarity with.

It’s definitely not an F-35, and they have an alleged ejector seat. I wouldn’t put too much stock into what the IRGC spin is.

People will say shit like “it has to get worse to get better” and no it doesn’t! We can just make things better!

To me less objectively “fuckboi” and more “actively catering to the opinions of 15 year olds that are too online”

…of which I think the fuckboi aesthetic is a symptom

The best to ever do it

It was yahoo news and it was possibly the funniest day that site ever had

don't even talk to me about sports if you haven't prayed for god to kill your coach

If American makes it to Christmas I’ll be floored

This. The dream of the 90s is dead. Cheap rent enables every kind of creative work and nothing else can substitute for it.

I really, really hate to give it to him, but that’s basically the central thesis of Matt y’s “1 billion Americans” book

Move here! Pay taxes here! Create jobs here! Elect people to permit housing and fund transit so more people like you can move here, and pay taxes and create jobs here!
I want to complain about my favorite restaurant being too busy because it the best thing possible. And then just scale that concept

This is just a subsidy for fuel line and gasket manufacturers

Dug into the thread. I assumed the “BEA disclosed this” meant they announced/published the change, not that they responded to an email. Yikes

So the underlying data is not being altered, but the top line metric is, but they publicly disclosed that change?

As much as I’m worried about correct information, I’m also worried about fomenting a distrust of BEA/official government reporting that will persist structurally

Accelerating inflation into an oil shock stemming from an unpopular military action. Any sign of hedging from any democrat for the next 8 months should be considered nothing but absolute cowardice. Generational advantage for November.

Las Vegas struck me as a monument to a truth that America once knew and had somehow chosen to forget: If gambling had to be legal, it should be contained to remote cities in the desert that make you feel a little bad about yourself.

We read bright lights, big city in high school, and the second-person perspective sticks with me to this day

The crazy part is that the critical issue is the Honda engine. They built a car that fucked up the reliability of a **Honda**
