Riding a bike is one path toward radicalization in The War on Cars.

27 years since the Columbine High School massacre.
27 years of failing to protect our kids.
27 years without common-sense gun laws.

I watched it as a student. Now it’s only gotten worse for our kids.

We need an assault weapons ban.

It should be greater cause for pause -- and alarm -- that, at a time when we increasingly associate manifestos with mass murderers, the Silicon Valley elites can't stop writing manifestos.

This one does not disappoint.

Why go with Toyota when Torment Lexus is right there?

JD Vance is the Ted Cruz of vice presidents. Everyone he works with hates him. Voters hate him. No principles. No charisma. Somehow still there.

Videos of the property of these white collar criminals being confiscated and arrest videos of the men who victimized the women in the Epstein files would provide ideal social media content for a future Democratic administration...the flip side to the sadistic ICE sizzle reels produced by this one.

Firing and jailing RFK is the moderate position

How much do they think tenured Columbia professors are leaving to their kids

Argh! On chrome on OSX it rendered just right in the text box. Unicode: always an adventure.

̋, (combining double-acute accent + comma in unicode) has your back.

It’s a telling indicator of media desensitization that the US government’s ongoing program of murder on the high seas—which according to the perpetrators has killed fourteen (14) people this week— is no longer a subject for much serious or sustained news coverage.

*I understand why this is necessary, but it resembles an AI-volcano going off and and some "human contributor" volunteering to be the "responsible" ritual sacrifice

"I'm the accountability cushion for the Dark Code, so when it fails, do with me what you will"

I'll say it again: These next several years are going to be a mess on a bunch of levels, but the really fucked up weird crime is going to be some shit a lot of people only are only gonna recognize as a pattern in hindsight.

Even though the throughlines are Very Obvious. Gettin Wild out here, y'all.

Same! Except a guard saw me and I got in trouble.

Principia Discordia and Chick Tracts are classic examples. As is most cult literature and conspiracy literature.

Most ads are bullshit by the “On Bullshit” definition of the term: utterances with an instrumental goal unrelated to their (irrelevant) truth or falsity.

I’m finding out here that I might be a single issue voter.

more pocket-sized books. more books that fit in coats like contraband and can be taken out to avoid eye contact in any situation.

Really interested in when the NYT decides to pay attention to how something is said, as opposed to the content or meaning of what's said

nobody in the history of posting benefited more from the character limit than donald trump

the extent to which so many men are sex pests is just baffling and depressing

you can just Not Do That

there is shit that's hard for me! remembering to take in the trash cans is hard! checking the calendar is hard! starting a design doc is hard! not being a sex pest: not that hard

In summary: every job should pay a living wage, especially if you have a particularly flammable business

(I’m unreasonably proud of my “making it up in volume” pun)

WHY?

This was a huge win and all he had to do was nothing.

"In order to render the strange logic of dreams, Freud quoted the old joke about the borrowed kettle: (1) I never borrowed a kettle from you, (2) I returned it to you unbroken, (3) the kettle was already broken when I got it from you."

It’s “practically” a great idea! It’s *so cheap* compared to finding people and asking them questions! Even though each individual response is, technically, a lie, you’ll have so many lies that you’ll find yourself “making it up in volume”.

Everyone agrees it would be wrong to tell a western dude to pretend to be a 52 year old Asian woman from the outskirts of Bangkok and answer a survey as that character, and then use the responses as real data about middle-aged suburban Thai women.

But somehow “silicon sampling” is respectable?!?

So this is how i find out melania is on the epstein files

I honestly have no idea what “worse” is among these options. I have no idea how or what constrains Trump or not as he sundowns towards whatever video he most recently saw.

It’s pretty terrible when the best case scenario is a conventional crime against humanity instead of a nuclear one.

And yet in their fear of rocking the boat, they've become powerless; the legislative branch of government has, under the leadership of Thune and Johnson, surrendered the power of the purse, the power to declare war, and most of its other powers, except when the Democratic minority prevails.
