Moltbook's pitch to Meta musta been like, "we know you like slop, well we're slop on slop for slop by slop, pure slop all the way down. Just the slop. Nothing but spend."

"Say hello to our good friend Paul Shaffer"

Personally, I'd support Senator Horse. A reliable 'nay' vote is better than wr have.

What is the administration's plan to get us out of Cumberbatch doing dragon hisses?

I think you mean on the entire globe.

An excellent slogan suggestion for Bluesky.

WSJ article, "US Lost 92,000 Jobs in February". A construction worker walks with a red dualsaber extended across a construction site.

Not the focus of this article, but just wanted to point out how unsafe it is to walk with a General Grievous-style dualsaber extended like this.

"I'm charging you with taking this package to the next location. We've trained for this. We always knew it was possible we'd get an order for a delivery and today it's truly happening. I know you've only attempted this on the simulator before, but this time, it's for real."

Got a spam email with the subject line "Your victory over the forces of evil..." and thought to myself "I didn't even know I did that." Anyway, you're welcome, world.

"You're in an echo chamber."
"Oh cool! Like the one the Beatles recorded Abbey Road in?"
"No, it's a bad thing."
"Check out that rich atmospheric reverb on my hot take!"

I'm annoyed by Iran vote framing (S.J.Res.104). They lacked a filibuster-proof majority to "stop" the war, but they also lack the votes to authorize the war. They should have voted to authorize it and then voted no, since it's their power. Burdens matter.

They oughta send Jared to do that job. I'm sure he'd be beloved by Iranians and completely safe.

Think they mean the Bushes.

AI Washington looks an awful lot like David Strathairn. (The actor is great. AI Washington is an abomination.)

That was the result of my thought process imagining a mechanism for the two details being related.

"I need you to steal the time machine and rescue your grandfather, who is also your grandson. The device is guarded by a peacock named Zargorax from the 28th century, and I should warn you, he's likely armed."

It's illegal to buy life insurance on a random person. That's the case because we recognize the moral hazard and perverse incentives it would create. Allowing people in government to bet on prediction markets is the same problem massively amplified.

$220M of our tax dollars for a propaganda video of Kristi Noem on a horse at Mount Rushmore.

"White voters make up a majority of the voting electorate" in that county. So does that mean two white people or one white person?

How I arrived on Bluesky.

US and Israel are about to get humiliated by a demonstration of strategic planning versus mad chaos goblins.

You gotta use his middle name too so he really sounds like a serial killer: James Thomas Fallon.

For Republicans who are turning on Trump, welcome to the "water is wet" club, I guess.

The thing about "Trump campaigned on no new wars" is that he also campaigned on, like, Hannibal Lector and sharks versus electric boats and weird rants about low water pressure. His campaign theme was essentially "I am batshit nuts."

Someone should make an expression about tilting at windmills in this manner.

Appears to be an incident of shit-for-brains.

AI-induced psychosis is the same phenomenon that melts so many billionaires brains, but with sycophantic humans instead of AI.

That other unsolved murder from the protagonist detective's past? I think it's connected to THIS murder.

These are all close plots, but none have a robot saying something like, "Happy 6500th birthday! Haven't heard from you in a while and thought you might like a single-pleat Gurkha trouser in a high-twist wool..."

...and Wall-E
