@alexbores.nyc Donated. Build rails. Don’t fuck this up.

I’m sorry. This is ridiculous. Republicans are in power and can keep power if Trump is impeached. This is embarrassing. Just take the keys away.

Have they tried merit

I’ve been reading more military history and it’s like this and venereal disease that has real operational impacts on military readiness but whatever.

Re: Carnival, now you know why Torts was my worst class.

I thought I might be an economist when I grew up because my dad listened to an NPR interview with Edward Castranova about EverQuest’s virtual economy. If memory serves, its GDP was situated between Romania and Bulgarian.

I’m shocked these young men aren’t looking to us old witches because we’re learned and worldly. Alas.

Games made money well before the iPhone with live service games.

@espiers.bsky.social @emilypeck.bsky.social @felixsalmon.com You should a kind of limited season deep dive on the dot com bubble because I have no recollection of this. All I have is my dad being in telecoms post-monopoly and he was mad all the time.

Couldn’t remember the word “Catholic” so I told my husband I was interested in @jdickerson.bsky.social’s POV because he’s “Pope-y.”

Haven’t listened to the Politics Gabfest in a minute — no particular reason; just a fire hose of content and I lost it in the fray. Anyway, listened today because convert Catholics have forced me, a lapsed cradle Catholic, to feel defensive of the Holy Bro. Saw the title alluding to the topic,

We are at the very stupid stage of the AI bubble where investors and boards are demanding every company on earth announce an AI strategy immediately and without the slightest bit of thought.

Phone keyboards have gotten worse, right? Am I crazy?

Oof.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

All I’m saying is that if the POTUS is acting in a way that would make you want to take the keys away from grandpa, he shouldn’t be near the nuclear codes.

Only reaction I have is that I strongly suspect that we’ve broken out so many product categories, coupled with merchandising arrangements vis a vis, distros and wholesalers, you just get cockamamie aisles. Like: rice in “international?” Fage yogurt in “healthy” but oikos not (no real material diff)?

Also my favorite signs from Japan, which are now framed.

Oh my god, the food is so good. And the walking! There’s a ton of great food especially if you get some speciality/traditional meals (white tourist alert: we stayed at a monastery and the shojin ryori was amazing.) But really? Tsukemen style ramen 6 times a week and twice on Sunday.

Yes, men suck at grocery shopping. It’s maybe the one universalist position I’ll adopt on gender. @emilypeck.bsky.social @espiers.bsky.social @felixsalmon.com

Nope, haven’t even listened yet. This is the hot take hill I will die on.

jd vance at the donut shop saying “just whatever makes sense”

jd vance negotiating with Iran

I also remember when they brought Tyra’s lawyer (as introduced, anyway) on the show to teach them a lesson about reading and signing contracts lol.

@emilypeck.bsky.social That ANTM dive took me back. I’m not and have never been a reality TV person but I watched the hell out of that show. I remember when they went to Thailand and discussed emerging markets and it hooked me so I watched rerun marathons whenever they were on

I’m just going to re…butterfly this every time Captain Underpants has a disastrous press conference.

I thought you were going to suggest Born Rich!

I’m interested in more games please and thank you.

If history ever “excavates” these messages and wants to know the state of the world, I just got a new Optimus Prime t-shirt and dinosaur printed underwear so we are in the “revert to childhood comforts” stage of decline.

If I lose a Wordle streak over this…
