It's a good episode and the joke with regards to the character he plays still works.
IDK I just try not to think about the fact that it's him too much. It's easier to do vs his music which I can't really do anymore. Maybe that will get harder to do with time
Shit there goes my dreams of seeing another season of the Beef House!
(that's not a joke I need more beefhouse in my house)
What about people in their 30s who basically talk like jar jar binks?
I guess owing to humanity's tribal collective origins we've relied so much on selected "shape" heuristics and general trust traits to get by. Bullshit is parasite that feeds on those traits, and this technology allows anyone to be a very good bullshitter, no skill or intuition required.
Thanks for the update. I guess in the high of reading something that made clear a lot of background thoughts I'd been having about the matter I made the misstep of saying "never". This is very disappointing news.
Line ink and paint was done with computer, but the actual animating was done on paper.
Modern Disney would wet itself at the prospect of making a follow-up to Rescuers Down Under as that film has such astounding cinematography which was banned long ago within Modern Disney by edict of Business Bob.
NYT headline that says “Mamdani Endorses Lindsey Boylan, Who Accused Cuomo of Sexual Harassment.” The lede says “the endorsement, in a special election for a city council seat on Manhattan’s West Side, comes as the mayor seeks to build influence within the Council"
First & foremost, @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is more than deserving of this endorsement.
Second & just as important, fuck this headline. Lindsey didn’t accuse Cuomo of harassment. Cuomo harassed Lindsey. Period. She is not an accusor. She is a survivor-advocate. Show some respect. Report the truth.
God only knows what they do if the price of nugs substantially increased...
Friend of mine termed this "summary culture"
*mumbles how much she likes her hydraulic rim brakes*
Is this moreso because they are disc or is it specifically the hydraulic aspect

A series of posts from journalist Mark Chadbourn reporting on the acceptance speech of Péter Magyar after Hungarian elections: Péter Magyar: "Our country wants to live again. It wants to be a European country again." Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 24m Magyar's speech is powered. From a contact in the audience: "He's basically just asked all the puppets, all the supreme justices, all the heads of media, all the heads of the ministries to leave their jobs tomorrow and not wait to be fired." •.. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 22m He's announced that Hungary will join the European Prosecution Office so anyone in the country can be charged. Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 21m Magyar: "No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions." ... Mark Chadbourn• @chadbourn.bsky.social • 20m Magyar says he's starting work with the EU and NATO immediately. "The EU doesn't have to worry anymore."
From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
The my point is whether percentage of income spent on healthcare (and on really any essential) has changed substantively for better or worse is the important aspect of this whole thing. I can't cite a source one way or the other offhand.
Fooling? Yeah cuz it's my nefarious plot to pull the wool over a bunch of internet randos eyes. Would have gotten away with it too if not for your quick witted decapitation of my sophistry
To be even more fair, Burns was saying a basic *necessary to live in this society* expense like healthcare tripled in four years (eating into the income) in response. People can't have more money if they are putting more percentage of income into the basics they need to live.
okay for real bye now
Had to look up that term lol. Yeah I mean I showed this thread to my partner who's a BI analyst and they got a big kick out of it, so not a complete waste of time.
I think, generally, folks have some gut level understand that our tools for describing these systems are imprecise and malleable in the face of various institutional pressures.
Like "the books are cooked" might be a simple, deceiving narrative but so is "see, inflation adjusted income was high!".
It's not that it's harder to measure the data per say, it's harder to define the metric and interpret what it represents--especially in the context. Social systems, like "the economy", are incredibly complex nonlinear systems with unfathomable amounts of feedback
Not sure why you keep insisting I don't know what median means... I mean hey I guess my diffeq class wasn't stats but I'm pretty sure I picked up the def of median along the way.
Gonna check out of this convo now.
*overwhelmingly likely there's no causation
Man bsky needs an edit button
Much different vs answering a question like "is it harder for blue collar workers to afford housing in 2026 vs 1986" for example.
Sure but the autism question is rather focused; you just look at incidences in a sample who was given vaccine x and those who never had it, see that vaccinated have no higher incidence than control, bam there's no correlation/no elevated risk, overwhelmingly likely there's no correlation
Because to a lot of folks pre 2024 the deportation stuff was more of an abstract thing. Approval has plummeted since witnessing the effects of mass deportation has become more of a lived experience (or a more vivid, negatively biased abstract in the form of all the videos and reporting).
There is no hope for the 38% who think Trump has a clear plan WRT Iran.
Like I was raised as a neo-con, I know these sorts very well. There is just no hope for them, and any democrat thinking they'd do well to court them (i.e. Harris in 2024) is just Charlie brown going for the football again.
Using data to qualify the relationship (or really the lack of thereof) between autism and vaccines is a, uh, much easier task, than trying to distill the economic component of hundreds of millions of people's lives into a handful of easily digestible KPIs.
What I see in the screenshots is a some degree of understanding that the often used metrics and arguments cited by the vibescession crowd are inadequate for fully qualifying the economic realities that most folks face these days--or even full on misleading.
Critical thinking means accepting that statistical metrics only show you certain facets of an extremely complex situation, and can very easily lead to false understandings about the state of things and the inter-dependencies underlying it all.
