I feel like Star Wars and Nathan for You fandoms have enough overlap to make this work

"Hoo-mon behavior" --Ferengi Björk

It's gotta be tuned out people who for whatever bizarre set of circumstances and reasons feel called upon to have an opinion and a vote on those two issues

Headline: "The power of verbs (and why you should never use an adverb)", but I've crossed out the adverb "never"

Well OK, if you insist

Doctor Beverly "Blazin' Bev" Crusher of Star Trek: The Next Generation, wearing her blue lab coat, looking really stoned with red eyes and a joint hanging from her mouth, with multicolor text in TNG title font that reads: I came here to get high and radicalize liberals, and I'm actually pretty high right now. #Curated

sadder please

Honestly, AI and LLM boosters can't even keep their fascism under wraps long enough to make it through a fucking byline

Wait isn't hanania the anonymous white supremacist that the Globe published years ago? I keep thinking I should give these anti-intellectuals a hearing, but this keeps happening!

Because of this thread I now know about the 1996 TV movie TITANIC, starring Tim Curry, Peter Gallagher, and Catherine Zeta-Jones. I was sure for like 5 minutes that it must be an AI hallucination, gave me severe vertigo, like peering through a wormhole into an alternate dimension

by far the most radicalizing thing about becoming a dad was a detailed vision of the way that women navigate health care, and particularly maternal medicine, in this country

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

I wonder if you think it's important to amplify the flat facts when richly funded propaganda works against that basic awareness every day. It seems important to keep a grip on the basic truth as things get more and more out of hand. I always like your writing, & I'm glad you're here.

I guess I understand why this is a thoughtful and more interesting story than "Republicans=corrupt" and "WH insiders [not Dems] are rippingly, searingly corrupt", and I know you narrow to Congress in the 2nd part of your post, but..

yay affirmation of my aversion to sports!

If Bluesky's got a hangover or whatever the least they can do is wheel in the TV cart and put on an episode of NOVA for us or something.

Is it bad that me (random civilian) can think of a better follow up than a Democratic senator?

Seems comically low tbh

what consequences though?

Fantastic work. Still my proudest subscription dollars going to @404media.co

What if there is more money was mine tonight

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.

The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.

Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

I know this is a rhetorical question, but the answer is that the people paying are buying propaganda
