omg the egirls are getting verified!!!!!!!

North Carolina's bravest senator

Remember the mystery a few weeks ago, about how and why xAI was spitting out people's government names, even people who have only *ever* used a pseudonym professionally?

It's cool how we're spending our hard earned savings on the dumbest shit possible because grandpa got trigger finger and decided to completely fuck over years of careful foreign policy

can only fire that gun once

- they can credibly threaten the Strait as far as insurers are concerned without a whole lot the US can do to convince the insurers otherwise

- the US has no plan and has no strategic guidance besides grandpa's cottage cheese brain

- bibi does not give a fuuuuuck about oil prices

Oh we’re weighing options *now*

its cool how we’ve spent decades anticipating this exact scenario where a cornered iran would mine or otherwise deny access to the strait and the US gov is just like “woah, no idea they’d play this card in response to [operation: no iranian government official left alive]”

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say | CNN Politics Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy chokepoint that carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to two people familiar with US intelligence r...

lol, lmao, brb investing in alternative energy companies

I did the NYC > Albany > NYC commute in one day without a car AMA

whoops

Progressives may not like to play identity politics, but many...are not very comfortable within majority Black American spaces and it shows. My God, it shows.

Even if progressive candidates don't "pander" by "showing up and swaying at a Black church," they need to at least fake it til they make it.

Tomorrow I get to figure out if I'm paying NYC car insurance for a month 😭

Really gotta reiterate how absolute my hostility is to anyone who even remotely looks like they're advocating for a return to a golden age of supposedly leisurely subsistence as an antidote to the real but lesser problems of capitalism and industry.

I can't believe Golikehellmachine would say he hates people who can read.

OH, SO EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS WEBSITE CAN BE ILLITERATE, BUT WHEN I DO IT, EVERYONE NOTICES, I SEE

the incredible minds of the trump administration

Americans are rejecting Donald Trump’s mass deportation assault on America. Americans don’t want to see students who are good enough and safe enough to perform at the U.S. Capitol and Carnegie Hall deported. Americans don’t want a five-year locked up at a trailer prison.

That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press

I don't think you have a moral right to continue doing a job inefficiently

The modern state has a lot of responsibilities.

One of them *isn't* maintaining entire communities frozen in amber.

Olive oil is a multibillion dollar a year industry (and a easy target for fraudsters in the Camorra) because we invented a machine that gets the olives off the trees before they rot and now olive oil tastes good instead of like a hay bale that’s been left out in the October storms

Pushing the "End war" button and "Make more war" button simultaneously

the strait of hormuz yearns for the mines

At the end of the day, all of the historical “we were here first” arguments are irrelevant. They’re all there NOW, and none of them—neither Israeli Jews, Israeli non-Jews, WB Palestinians nor Gaza Palestinians—have any intention of leaving the region en masse.

I feel like "not at the level of NYC" is actually not an endorsement of the housing situation in NYC or Albany

As I've been saying, I'm moving upstate because I want to live there, but telling people to move upstate maybe isn't the solution when you could simply build more housing

The Albany housing crisis is not at the bonkers level of NYC but its still not great

Getting up can wait, beauty sleep is more important

A machine with two buttons, one labeled "Idolizing pre-automation societies that relied entirely on the often degrading task of 'servant' and the other labeled "American horror at the idea of having servants or being made to be a servant." A man stands in front of the machine, sweating nervously.

If this is real, Trump might actually get impeached over $10/gallon gasoline lasting into the summer.
