doge really did select hires on the basis of "too young to understand that they will likely have personal legal liability" didn't they

Thank you to the people and groups bringing this lawsuit, and to the interviewer for some very satisfying lines of questioning

FWIW their relationship, both professional and personal, ended up being between two mature adults who weren't interested in drama or silliness. The movie isn't anything new, but it knows that and keeps itself fresh by leaving out all the bullshit

It knew exactly what it wanted to do and it did it well. Best Picture? No of course not. Good picture? Yes.

Boardwalk Empire is one of those shows where I just didn't care about 90% of the characters for most of it, but Stephen Root's weird prissy southern assassin opportunist was absolutely in the 10%. He immediately improves whatever he's in

Okay so we have a problem that needs to be solved in days for the global economy not to seize up. What if we gathered the largest tanker truck fleet in the world and sent them all barreling toward a tiny Omani fishing village that’s suddenly the biggest commercial port in the world? Could that work?

I want to know why the icons are something you'd find on like a Bob the Builder knockoff aimed at 5yo boys

Every person alive in 1995 independently thought of this joke and used it once, realized it was weak, and never thought about it again. Even my dad, who will drive a pun into the ground at the barest opportunity, recognized it wasn't that good and dropped it

there is a child-like naivety to the way business leaders approach sociopolitical problems that would be really sweet if it wasn't coming from the leader of a company with 30,000 employees and 3 billion dollars in revenue

Someone get Samuel Pepys on the phone, surely he can fix this

This isn't the average American though, this is a little over 2% of Americans

Everyone should like who they like ................. except Chakotay. If you're a hardcore Chakotay fan I'm going to look at you weird

I think everyone can enjoy that sort of thing and I hope they do, I think where autistic people differ as far as getting really into large complex engineering systems is that every tiny insignificant detail or component or whatever feels as exciting and important as the biggest flashiest aspect.

the whole piece was fun but this is the part i am still thinking about tonight

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

people joke about what experiencing even the banalities of modern society would do to a medieval peasant, but here's a German tourist from a small farming village who says some Times Square salsa verde physically incapacitated him gothamist.com/food/theres-...

Oakland has been doing this for years and while street parking was still a precious commodity just because there wasn't a lot of it compared to the density, the permit and sticker thing worked and was easy and cheap

I know intellectually that as a Star Trek fan I have no right to look down on Star Wars but like, come on, this is embarrassing you guys should be embarrassed

Someone at the Pentagon or whatever is thinking about all those German synthetic oil plants we bombed to smitherines during WWII and doing the Tobias Funke "But if it's different for us" thing

I was so weird about shoes as a kid that my parents had to build an extra ten minutes into the morning routine because they knew they'd have to put my shoes on, take them off, put them back on multiple times before I was okay with how they felt 😅

it really is unfortunately this simple - we elected the stupidest narcissists absolutely convinced that they could just go and "assert warfighter dominance" or whatever, those pussy liberals didn't wanna FIGHT!!!, and are just now shocked that the enemy gets a vote too

Tied myself in knots as a kid with the "how to avoid it next time" part about being embarrassing or unintentionally hurting people's feelings. Not knowing what "it" was, not being able to see that it was happening until it was too late, creating rules about it that never worked. I still feel it tbh

Kobayashi Maru that shit. The whole premise is bullshit. Shut the trolley down. No one needs to die.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

As a certified freak about what shoes I wear and how they fit (each shoe must function as a small hugbox for my feet), whatever this power play is simply would not work on me. Maybe there ARE such things as autistic superpowers, they're just really stupid and specific

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, “need groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, “eh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

Peak Y2K fashion: the "cool" cyber-goggle (?) sunglasses I bought at the mall in 1998 that were so hard to see through that it was a safety hazard
