Finally someone on council who isn’t just pressing the “more freeway lanes” button like a rat trying to earn some cheese

Rarely have I met someone as full of themselves as a C-suite who just learned a new buzzword

Nothing to get your blood pumping first thing in the morning like steeping into an argument between two coworkers to tell them they’re both being idiots

I used to think Metamucil was just for old people but this shits great

*Donald Trump suspends habeas corpus and starts mass arrests* 74 year old Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer who has been in Congress for 27 years: mmmm Mr Trump you better not, sir

Seeing stuff like this is a good reminder about how Portland is such a leader in transportation planning. We’ve had innovative signals and green waves for many years.

And the n’hood street equivalent is removing stop signs for bike traffic… which we’ve also done for years!! 💪

Oh yeah sorry, I forgot the appropriate way for an 89 year old and a 92 year old to get around is to DRIVE THEMSELVES, duh.

Not enough people are saying this

If every company on planet earth gets in on AI, all I can hope is that they are all just as mind-bendingly incoherent and sloppy as Salesforce and whatever 25¢ dreck AI model they had write this shit commercial instead of a human being on a livable wage.

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

I sincerely hope that some day we can make it back to a place where the wildest thing I read for the day is about a guy who sprays dog medicine on his hands so he can use them as sandpaper

No but weirdly now that I know where you are I do want to come fight you

“Each opponent must recite the full oracle text of ‘Bureacracy’ or immediately lose”

people will speak about a game they played as a kid with the same reverence that they might a great song or novel, about how it engrossed them totally and completely. They may even tear up talking about it. and then you ask what game it was and it was Spongebob battle for bikini bottom

Just saw an article about Rowan Atkinsons’ son refer to him as “Bean Jr”

Gee I hope me colleagues at the work retreat are enjoying …

*checks list of activities for entertaining middle schoolers*

… building a tall structure out of marshmallows and spaghetti.

“Ooh but I didn’t vote to send a message that–“

Sorry pal, you DID vote, and it was for the fascists

If your representatives do not actively oppose fascist policies, they are fascists

If you in turn support and help re-elect those representatives even by your inaction, you are also a fascist

“Didn’t do enough” meaning funded and enabled a genocide at every available opportunity

This framing where a political party (and by extension the literal president of the United States) is some kind of put upon smol bean with little or no power is so fucking brain dead

GOBLIN WITH A FAT ASS by Tom Bloom please don't let this become my most popular project

I genuinely believe that the salute was a pulse check to see what they’ll be able to get away with, and the media seems to be letting them know it’s everything.

Don’t let your craven non-confrontational nature allow you to ignore the obvious (hand) signs.

New York’s Congestion Pricing Is Working. Now Comes the Real Test. Commute times are down, and subway numbers are up. But the conservative attacks have not stopped.

“Indeed, New York City’s congestion pricing, which began this month, might already be one of the most effective climate policies ever enacted in the United States.” newrepublic.com/article/1903...

maga people are like chicken little but instead of saying the sky is falling they say they’re likeable and reasonable

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

My new dream is to be in a Shrek/Shrek 2 cover band

Witch King is looking pretty interesting given how good the Murder Bot books are, but maybe it’s time to do the middle school book club thing 👀

Man I’m about to go back to reading so many books on January 19th
