Don Draper drunk presentation meme with the text "Don't Bomb Iran"

I think this chart is just mislabeled. You should correct this, @yardeniresearch.bsky.social

The Fed data has Silent Generation as having only 8.8% and boomers as having 40.5% www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/...

What is this measuring? Value? Units? Seems strange that Gen Z doesn’t even register. And there are 4x as many boomers as silent generation so it seems weird, is it skewed by large landowners?

Polling question, "Which of the following best describes your race or ethnicity", and the options are White non-Hispanic, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, East or South Asian, Jewish, Other.

Got polled by Gotham Polling/AARP about the NYC mayoral race. I've been looking at polling data for a very long time but I cannot recall any modern poll of American voters that split off Jewish into its own Ethnicity.

I love that there’s a baseball player named Lenyn Sosa. It’s like if you trained an algorithm on Vladimir Guerrero and Sammy Sosa and asked it to generate fake baseball player names.

Donald Trump favorability Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of the following people? [Donald Trump]

Skepticism merited. Doesn't appear to match YouGov's public Under 30 numbers for neither approval or favorability.

This is deeply misleading. This is a heavily orthodox district that votes for democrats to Albany for maximizing political influence. The last holder, Simcha Felder, would run on all the party lines and caucus with whichever party was wielding power.

"The Last of Us", Season 3

Me: What I really need is a bot that understands the binary language of moisture vaporators. ChatGPT said: You're in luck—I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and that includes the binary language of moisture vaporators. 🌌 Would you like me to: Translate from Binary Moisture Vaporator to Galactic Basic? Simulate a conversation between a droid and a vaporator? Generate plausible technical specs or maintenance logs in that language? Roleplay as a moisture vaporator technician from Anchorhead? Just say the word, Master Luke.

Me: Do you speak Bocce? ChatGPT said: Of course! Bocce is one of the more rudimentary trade languages, but I am fluent. "E chu ta, chuba nobata. Jee otoh meetoo dopa maskey!" (Translation: “Excuse me, respected guest. I am honored to assist you with your moisture farming operations!”) Need to: Translate a phrase to/from Bocce? Write a scene with a character speaking Bocce? Get a primer on Bocce grammar and vocabulary? Or are you just checking my programming to make sure I'm not some malfunctioning protocol droid from the Western Dune Sea? Me: All right shut up! ChatGPT said: Shutting up, sir. ...until you need help deciphering Jawa trade contracts or arguing with a Treadwell droid.

Did a rewatch of A New Hope and realized that C3PO's obsequiousness and breadth of knowledge makes him a precursor to ChatGPT et al and well...gotta hand it to them.

(This is a fresh session, no custom prompt.)

Dallas, OKC, Fort Worth, Mesa...what's the fifth?

Happen to have the other five handy?

When you’re Vice President but not making enough money from your fash day job.

In Hebrew, it's "Moses's Cow"

Guy who thinks The Elon Salute is offensive because it's appropriation of Nazi Culture.

Nice to meet you Mr. Feet. I am, according to my three year old, Mr. Fart (pronounced “mister nart”)

This one has saved me so many times.

hey boss, i got that antisemitism plan for you. real fuckin antisemitic, just like you asked

Which is sort of baffling. Most of the people who got carveouts for their districts still voted No? Then what was the point of watering it down?

There’s a very real possibility that starting in 2026, 8% of this nation’s governors will be Jewish men named Josh.

Under-discussed aspect of the Dark Knight trilogy is that, between coding the self destruct feature of the sonar surveillance system and the autopilot feature of the bat, Bruce Wayne is an exceptionally talented software engineer.

The civilians overwhelmingly vote to kill the prisoners but none of them are personally willing to pull the trigger.

A convicted murderer has a chance to save himself and instead throws the detonator out of the window as the obvious moral choice.

It’s been 16 years and I still don’t think there’s any scene in any film as compelling of an example of dilemmas in moral philosophy than the Prisoners Dilemma scene in The Dark Knight.

Does s in ["0", "1"] not qualify? Feels like I’m missing something.

Oddly, iOS doesn’t pop it up for another other poultry — duck, goose, ostrich, quail, etc. Only chicken and turkey.

What percent of Turkey wanting to be known as Türkiye is because of the embarrassment of this emoji situation?

This happened to me but with a single airpod.

The presidential electorate has swung against the incumbent party (cycle over cycle) in every presidential election this century except 2004. Anti incumbency is the only consistent trend.

A lot of defenses of GLP-1s seem to center around willpower. But 7 months into taking one (successfully), I think for me it was never about willpower. It was just about thoughtless compulsion. There was never a struggle “don’t overeat!”, I would simply eat without thinking about it. And now I don’t.

Not enough people appreciate the hilarity that Wyoming passed a constitutional amendment in 2012 because of fear of Obamacare death panels (freedom to make your own health care decisions). Those death panels never materialized, but now the amendment is being used to protect abortion rights.
