  1. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the fact that the marriage website case was brought on behalf of a woman who had designed exactly zero marriage websites. These cases are entirely vibes-based. Working completely backwards starting from whatever SCOTUS outcome they're trying to get to.
  2. Supposedly due to "extreme levels of data scraping", unverified accounts are now limited to reading 600 Tweets per day. People have been predicting the site's death since last fall and it's doggedly kept moving until now, but I dunno, it might actually be cooked this time. Seems like an absurd restriction to put on unless you're not sure if you can keep the lights on.
  3. I'm not an expert in statecraft or anything, but I don't understand how you can let a PMC guy publicly fire your defense minister (if that's actually what the deal is?) and still claim that you're in charge of things.
  4. Kobold's only have a challenge rating of 1/8 and could easily be defeated by even a low-level party of adventurers. The idea that they could protect a cache of rare metals without the help of an Ogre or Owlbear is laughable. Do not invest in this company.
  5. Alito's turn: Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court WWW.PROPUBLICA.ORG In the years after the undisclosed trip to Alaska, Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. Alito has never recused himself.
  6. It's absolutely wild to me that Pence thinks he can run for President on a platform that's more or less "don't vote Trump because he instigated a mob that wanted to kill me, but other than that, I agree with Trump on everything"
  7. Yaccarino went to Penn St., and I guess she's got some old tweets taking Joe Paterno's side when the NCAA took his career win record away after the Sandusky stuff
  8. Tesla 'Autopilot' crashes nearly triple, despite Elon Musk's claims - The Washington Post WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM Crashes have surged in the past four years, reflecting the hazards associated with increasingly widespread use of Tesla’s futuristic driver-assistance tech.
  9. Repeatedly capitalizing "Boxes" for no reason is such a classic weird Trump thing.
  10. Just got back from 2 weeks in Italy, which kicked ass. We used the high speed trains for 3 different trips. I guess it's a step down from my experience with the Shinkansen in Japan in that the train was actually like 10 minutes late one time, but it's as comfortable a ride and extremely easy to buy tickets from an app and find your platform at the stations. We need cool-ass trains in this country, man. I really think it's a radicalizing experience to use one of these systems once. I think so many people who scoff at the idea of investing in trains really have no concept of what riding a modern train is actually like because the entire stock of passenger train cars in the US is from like 1966.
  11. The meme that came out of this where people recreate the four frames of the comic and try to one up each other in how abstract it can get is one of the most derranged things the internet has ever produced.
  12. Jacksonville was the biggest city in the country that had a Republican mayor. Florida Democrats flip the Jacksonville mayor’s office in a major upset WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Jacksonville was the largest city in the country with a GOP mayor, and the Republican candidate Tuesday had the backing of Gov. Ron DeSantis. Yemi Mobolade declares victory in Colorado Springs mayoral runoff election, Wayne Williams concedes | KRDO KRDO.COM COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Less than twenty minutes after the first batch of results came down in the Colorado Springs Mayoral runoff election, a candidate has conceded. Just before 7:40 p.m. Tuesday, Republican Wayne Williams took to the podium to announce he was conceding to Independent Yemi Mobolade. According to the first batch of
  13. I'm seeing a bunch of bots in replies all of a sudden with nothing except login info and a URL of random numbers and letters. I have no idea what the scam actually is, all I know is the site feels more washed than ever. Feels like there's no semblance of moderation left.
  14. Motherfucker was president for four years. Which of his opinions have I been siloed off from, exactly?
  15. Dianne Feinstein Returns To Senate After Nearly Three-Month Absence WWW.HUFFPOST.COM The ailing California Democrat appeared at the Capitol to cast a vote amid a prolonged bout with shingles that left her needing a wheelchair. This is so fuckin' grim, man.
  16. "they are hellbent on doing everything in their power to regulate coal and gas-fueled power plants out of existence"
  17. LAPD shoots and kills at least 1 dog at homeless encampment in South LA ABC7.COM Police have shot and killed a chained-up dog at a homeless encampment in South Los Angeles. Apparently you don't have to say "police-involved shooting" when it's a dog that gets shot. You can just say what happened in the headline in plain terms. Interesting.
