Incredible thread

for folks keeping track of this stuff at home, the real answer to the question "how on god's green earth is Tesla worth over a trillion dollars despite being a blatant scam grafted onto a failing car business?" is "because every new retirement account has to buy it as part of the S&P index"

Hey so Loot The Room is going to disappear off the internet if I can't come up with about £250 in the next few days.

If you've ever thought about picking up any of my games now would be an excellent time to do that.

If a fry doesn’t crunch get that shit away from me.

this is the most Not Fucking Around anything has ever been. I can’t wait to see it, but I ALREADY agree that crypto is a massive scam, so I also can’t wait until the people this movie is trying to convince also see it and at least some of them hopefully rethink everything about themselves

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

looking forward to the next week when i'm trying to do something else entirely and my brain hits me with an unprompted "AAAH, RAFA, WHAT THE FUCK"

more calm in the form of sea potatoes! harbor seals with not a care in the world, in a protected cove fulla fish and kelp.

No, these Jewish Food endcaps have always been full on vibescoding, even before that was invented. Just grab bags of good intentions and 0 data gathering, for as long as I've ever encountered them.

It's my preferred syrup for egg creams! Bring on the clearance sales! 😄

Zillions Magazine taught me about this forever ago. (Thanks, Consumer Reports for kids. 😆) A *lot* of Made For TV products were initially made for people with disabilities, then had to market to the general population to recoup costs.

You still have to climb in, so from the eldercare perspective, I'm still on team Scary Door Walk-in Sitting Tub.

We watched a walkthrough (sit through? Scrub through?) the other day and were unimpressed, mostly bc it didn't seem to work particularly well. The in-tub tv was disorienting AF, but maybe that's an add-on.

And the reason for that, to be clear, is that Nazis have very intentionally co-opted it as such.

They literally name their terror orgs using it

lotta people get really fucking weird about Jews being able to recognize the world's least subtle Nazi dogwhistles

there's plenty of anti-Israel and/or pro-Palestinian advocacy and activism that isn't saturated with Judenhass, but there's really no way to know for any given individual until after they've seen a post about how antisemitism is bad and immediately responded "why are you defending Israel?"

"When I said <harry potter goblin with payot eating a child dot jpeg> I just meant I support Palestinian self-determination, and it's really Zionist of you to say that's 'antisemitic', whatever that means anymore"

it is very weird how many people say shit like "oh she only meant 'the goyim know' as a criticism of Bibi"

people have taken the idea that antisemitism isn't the same thing as opposition to Israel and decided this means they're mutually exclusive and you can safely do Blood Libel antizionistly

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Official Team GB Paralympic photo, with the the crests and everything, and a professional headshot, but it's for "Pickle, A Very Good Girl", who is a black labrador, with a hi-viz harness and a red collar.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

The Dem response to SOTU should simply be a 15-20 min long video of ICE violence and Epstein snippets, ending with someone concluding "this is the state of the union."

Both locations are closed & tons of people have the day off so I'm calling it. Today is Start That Book Day 2026! That book you've been meaning to read forever that you just have never gotten to. The one your friend has been bugging you about, maybe even the one we recommended. Start it today!

Time's fake.

This is what I've been SAYING. 😆

IIRC this is a weird sticking point in The Strain, which is very bad and borderline unreadable, and the vampires basically excrete a third vampire substance while they feed that shows up under UV. But from their necks? The Strain goes off the rails real quick.

How many to turn in to a bat? How many to turn back? Where does the bat get (keep?) the calories? Can you store calories in the cloud? I'm just asking normal questions.

One of the most obnoxious tropes here is the ways in which everyone bends over backwards to insist that it is impossible for antizionism or pro-Palestinian nationalism to be antisemitic or align with Nazis.

And the start of the on-ramp isn’t going to be recognizably antisemitic. It’s going to be something that lets you assume that the “they” they’re talking about is who you’d expect: billionaires, politicians, and celebrities.

A nice squishy “they.”

And the Epstein -> Israel -> genocide chain is functioning similarly as an on-ramp for people who are already getting content about the genocide in Palestine as chronic illness -> wellness -> don’t trust doctors did for antivax and Qanon.
