The defense secretary is derisively comparing the media to a maligned group of rabbinic Jews, the FBI director is denying reports of drunkenness on the job, the vice president is in a two-front theological war with the pope and Erika Kirk, Donald Trump is still president, and gas is $4. Happy Friday
Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history
my husband after two beers:
"hi can you recommend any super cheap, ethically made clothes that will last forever and make me feel like a swaddled little baby while also making me look like a super attractive, stylish man, yet take no time or effort to acquire? this is social media, so pls just drop a link."
Question: “Now that you’ve met with him -Trump-, you’ve spoken with him multiple times, do you still think he’s a fascist?”

It brings the living together. Death. One of its most peculiar tricks. You have to laugh through shit like this. When you aren't crying. I don't know why that is. I didn't invent this fact I inherited it like we all did. You have to laugh because it's a cruel fucking joke.
BOOGIE-WOOGIE You shout from the other room You ask me how to spell boogie-woogie And instantly I think what luck no war has been declared no fire has consumed our city's monuments our bodies our dwellings The river didn't flood no friends have been arrested It's only boogie-woogie I sigh relieved and say it's spelled just like it sounds boogie-woogie --Adam Zagajewski (1945-2021) (Translated, from the Polish, by Clare Cavanagh.)
Can't stop thinking about this Adam Zagajewski poem
you cannot tell me that “Eric Adams granted Albanian citizenship” is real. me and several hundred internet-poisoned people have been saying things like as a joke for 4+ years. you might as well tell me a man named dril bought $3,600 in candles.
easily one of the funniest guys america has had in decades

If you're up around Northmapton, MA you can now stop by Tunic Coffee and not only get your usual local cafe order, but also a copy of Indiepocalypse?!
we won’t fix everything if we remove trump from the presidency, but there isn’t much we *can* fix if we don’t. in a world where president vance just watched his much more popular boss get removed from office, you’ll see a very different vance
We didn't deserve this day.
you're never going to believe what else the Geneva Conventions say, you dumb fuck
In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

She left her agent because he was in the Epstein files, and just like that, there’s a bot-driven smear campaign.

Hoppy Easter, Moon fans! 🐰
Sometimes readers are skeptical when I tell them that retailers would rather pay for self-checkout kiosks and product lockup systems and all manner of other questionable in-store tech rather than staffing because of an ideological preference for capital spending over labor spending and, well,,,

Happy Easter!
alright christian god i know we’ve had our quarrels but i am prepared to ‘go catholic’ if you make it happen for comedy effect today specifically. i won’t half ass it like i do with judaism either. i’ll wear the thing on my head and eat the crackers and shit
This is so, so well-articulated.
Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.
