Loudon results on election night 2024 told us all we needed to know, unfortunately

Absolutely crazy that one of the largest and most expensive firms in the country didn't have a cite checking process that could prevent this.

It's so funny they have these promotional posters like it's a new play at the Pantages.

🌮

Yes.

It's not quite that easy. You also need the minority party to perfectly split its votes between exactly two candidates, there's no way to really coordinate your voters. I'm sure given how many elections there are that some day it will happen, but the odds for any particular race are very long.

Second time in a row he's declined to coach a rebuild.

Good coach, someone else should hire him.

This is a very cool graphic.

I'm a big fan of getting a drink at the airport and/or on the plane but if I drank enough to get my money's worth at a lounge, the rest of the day would be terrible. Why would you want to be drunk by yourself trying to find your gate?

It's different when you're suing the government. You won't be able to get your money back so it can be irreparable harm.

It's a relevant consideration. Being forced to spend a bunch of money that you can't get back due to unlawful government order is a harm that courts will often step in to prevent. Which is not to say that the decisionmaking process here was correct - but that aspect of it was not unusual.

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

No, I'm well aware that there are a million of you dimwitted bootlicking freaks on the internet.

It's funny that Julian Casablancas was once the coolest guy in the country because he is, uh, not very charismatic

Yousuke Yukimatsu ending his set with Born to Run. Not a remix. Just pressing play and letting the song go for 4 minutes. It was awesome.

The lab owners made a call

I know this isn't unique to him but my God Trump fucked up the drive to and from Harry Reid

One of the all time great Twitter stories.

Reagan was incredibly unpopular through 1983. His approval lined up pretty consistently with objective economic performance.

Plenty to criticize about AI but "websites didn't use to break" is just silly.

Before Musk bought Twitter, when I really loved being on it all day, I came close to buying some Fail Whale art to put up in my house. Obviously worked out in retrospect that I didn't waste my money.

What's funny about the Long Island Iced Tea Blockchain fiasco is, if they had actually bought bitcoin mining equipment in 2017, they probably would have ended up turning a profit. The problem was it was all a scam to temporarily inflate the stock price and they never actually did anything.

SB 9 is taking off in LA the way ADUs did 7 years before.

So awesome to see the Warriors, four-time former champions, no realistic chance to win this year, playing like it's a Finals game *for the right to play another game.*

"We have a shootout here in Inglewood" is a sentence that would've had a different meaning in the 90s.

And they say love is dead.

Also a lot of credit to Harlan and Eagle and their booths, who were fantastic and made these games feel like they had real stakes. I thought the overall Prime broadcast was great despite a badly timed technical difficulty.
