It must be hard to schedule actors' call times for Man of Tomorrow

So glad you had a great time!

as someone who doesn't follow college football that closely - and couldn't tell a good college player from a pro prospect even when i did - mock draft coverage is the most annoying content i am constantly told by the algorithm is for me

Clearsky, though I looked once and decided it was bad for my mental health.

This you, sir?

Jim is one of our nation’s most eminent virologists. Allowing the flu to spread among our troops is a national security issue, putting military preparedness at risk. This is how deep the rot is among this country’s leadership.

I grew up in Florida made shuttle landings semi common and they still freaked people out. After the NJ drone scare bullshit does anybody really think it is wise to start having sonic booms clap off up and down both seaboards, heard for 100s of miles, on a consistent basis?

If there were no such thing as sonic booms, this would be great. In the actual phenomenal world, not so much.

Elon Musk spent billions of dollars to push white supremacy and has a compound where he’s keeping the children he’s trying to breed into little supermen and he’s never described as a fanatic for white supremacy.

It is sometimes trippy when you think about the fact that there are multiple billion-dollar industries built to replicate the “I think I smell weed” pretext police give when they pull over Black people.

This is the broader pattern with surveillance technology in general. It doesn’t work nearly as well as advertised, but it does provide a pretext to make constitutional protections pretty much null and void.

Also important to emphasize as these glasses will largely be used as a workaround against laws banning racial profiling more than anything.

MAGA influencers been finding out lately that gay and trans people got hands. I fucking hate seeing people getting harassed - but these influencers getting KTFO is what they get.

If you ever wanted to hear Stephen Root deliver the line "I broke my pussy," Strip Law is for you.

As a long-time bird appreciator, I am genuinely so curious about what tipped any of you over. When did you first start actively noticing birds? Like *really* noticing them, in a way where you wanted to keep paying attention?

to be clear this was already wildly fucking illegal by any standard employment regulation of ethical service

The prediction markets saying 'actually it's not gambling it's a publically traded contract on future eventualities' is the kind of dark sorcery you can kind of admire through a skewed lens, it's the sort of shameless evil that can move mountains

we need tech companies to start making affirmative, socially responsible arguments for their existences, or else we roll out an option of capital punishment for corporations as "artificial persons"

I saw Bluesky make the same misread and deliberately chose to avoid engaging with many of the folks I lost a little respect for after they ran with 62M men and not 62M monthly visitors. Didn't seem like a fight worth having online in this day, even though the difference matters.

First saw this story over on Threads, and people really, really, really did not like anyone correcting misinformation about their misreading of the story. We seem to be moving to some sort of post-reality where people just want fake stories that reinforce their beliefs.

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

I get why they used it, and I don't know if its total media illiteracy, willful distortion, rampant cynicism, or most likely all three factors combining that led to such a widespread distortion of the actual fact in discussion about the story on various platforms.

Oh I agree with Kath. I just saw people HERE also cite this erroneous statistic about 62M men, not visitors, that Kath refers to as happening on TikTok. My whole point is Bluesky did this thing too.

Thank you Kath.

Saw this happen here on Bluesky too, but felt like trying to get people to recognize the distinction between monthly visitors and unique visitors in the original article was not a battle worth having on this site.

Like 10 would be too many, let alone 1000 or 10000, but there were not 62M unique men in this shit.

This same flattening happened right here on Bluesky, but I didn't see a point in trying to correct people racing to post about 62M men on an article that sited 62M monthly visitors
