I live in Alexandria (City of). Only we get to complain about Fairfax like this.

Also, cry harder GOP, cry harder.

That is an ultimate bingo card space

There is a very famous, very good popslash story, "Jeff Tweedy Ships Lance/Britney" in which the leader of Wilco shipped Lance/Britney.

Elon Musk is a Snapewife.

That's only done by Grok

Elon Musk is a big fan of Harmony. But also a secret snape wife,.

ChatGPT, basic as always goes right to the brand name Dramione.

Claude goes for whatever Harry/Draco is called.

And Copilot is 100% things involving Severus Snape, with serious Snape Wife input.

Everyone on Bluesky is over 40. We remember these things.

It's 1997, and I'm trying to download X-Men fanfic from Usenet.

Bring back progressive jpegs. I wanna see Alf hog slowly get less pixelated

LLM breaks out the Ray Wars.

God forbid you type the name Fraser, you get a Ray.

The picture isn't even loading, but I can tell that you are a moral monster who has never once in his entire life fed a single kitty. Not once.

Those faces don't lie.

*In the last 30 seconds.

To be clear, Alexandria was 79% yes, 21% no. It won by 58 points, not 58% of the vote.

And 43%+ of the city voted, despite the redistrict and one city council seat being the only things on the ballot.

Yes won by 58% in Alexandria. Alexandria City is where you live if you watched the West Wing in your youth, got a PoliSci degree, and moved to DC to change the world.

Only to work for the Feds, or an Association.

GOP? Tarred, feathered, and drenched in Port City brew, given lecture on bike lanes.

In this area, could do a library road trip party. Pile into a car, and hit up Fairfax, Falls Church, Arlington, Alexandria, Montgomery, PG, and DC. 7 cards in a day.

Which reminds me I need to go renew my Montgomery card.

Entered into AI*: organization is very cult of nice

Output: The emphasis on NICE (neutrality, integrity, clarity, and empathy) is visible in how staff communicate with candidates and volunteer leaders

*I have to do this to pass a grad class, don't come at me.

not the biggest thing but I really appreciate Matt Drudge's inherent haterdom at long last serving the truth and light.

doesn't fully justify my undergraduate Drudge Report habit but goes some distance towards

🚨🚨BREAKING: In a huge victory for Democrats that will greatly increase their odds of winning back the House in November, Virginia voters have APPROVED the redistricting referendum.

Thanks to algorithm, my video feed thinks I am interested in raising rabbits for meat.

I am not. I am interested in guinea pigs being cute, and the very non neurotypical lady +her husband who have 144 of them in a custom shed in their yard

This is so old that people who want to write kidfic have to start writing about their grandchildren.

So old that Victoria is out of jail (Unless of course Langostini caused an accident)

So old that....

"you get more conservative as you get older" literally whomst, because everyone I grew up with has gone from the centrist Dem politics we learned from our boomer parents to "burn the whole fucking system down." Including my boomer parents

ok the funniest thing in the world is to find out someone you know is angry at the suggestion that the minions would have worked for Stalin

“I used AI to combine the data from two excel lists and then send emails to people who were on one list but not another. Saved me so much time.”

My brother in academia, you just fucking discovered mail merge. Welcome to early nineties computing.

When will our brave men come home from the (Ray) wars

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

Vaccination, combined with extensive disease control and accessible, free medical care, mean that illness hasn't killed anywhere enough troops for the last 50 years.

This one is gonna backfire big.

I just realized that next year the Ray Wars will have gone on as long as the Thirty Years’ War

I’m going to lie down now

Not overselling: This is fucking incredible

Doctors say that measles is one of the deadliest and most contagious infectious diseases in the world. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off raccons says you'll be fine if you drink raw milk and bathe in raw sewage. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

Yeah that will solve all of our problems…..

are any america-first conservatives not funded from overseas

Also, I find Frankie Muniz to be weirdly engaging. He is good for exactly one type of character, but he's good at it.
