Okay. Those rings have a second ring hidden inside them.

I’m so happy the NBA is back on NBC, and not because of nostalgia but because I keep dropping streaming subscriptions. At this point, I’ve got Peacock and PBS. PUT THE NBA ON PBS YOU COWARDS! GIVE US THAT NBA/ANTIQUES ROADSHOW DOUBLEHEADER!

I soldered my first #Arduino together just about 20 years ago. It was still a beta platform, but the promise and opportunity was clear. I love Ardunio and the community. I do not, however, love this news of #Qualcomm taking them over.

Qualcomm buys Arduino, releases new Raspberry Pi-esque Arduino board

Qualcomm claims Arduino will keep its own branding and “open source ethos.”…

😖 I'm literally imagining you as the T-1000 right now. I know that's not at all how it works, but I kind of hope this is when you get superpowers.

I've literally never heard the term "iron flu" before. Just read some Wikipedia articles. Goodness, Courtney, that sounds like a good way to ruin someone's day. I hope you get to rest. Yell if you need people to send you cookies.

Today’s 9/11. I’m a New Yorker who saw it. It’s a good day to log off social media for a minute. Find me on #NBAThreads Discord, Letterboxd (15_letters), or email: [email protected]

this is all true but it's also hard to say how much that matters given the fact that this is literally their rhetoric all the time now

Jeff Sharlet @jeffsharlet.bsky.social · Sep 10

Rufo calling for mass arrests, Blake Masters & Cernovich calling for RICO against Dem & left funders, and a whole lot of everyday people begging for martial law, or, even worse, "gloves off." 99.9% of whom are just spouting off, but today if anything teaches us the damage that one .1% fool can do.

counterpoint: these exact same losers say the exact same thing every time anybody talks back or puts a girl in a video game or whatever so i don't think the liberal urge to performatively flinch at the canned backlash is a useful reflex in 2025

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

My overseas family has seen the Charlie Kirk news. They’ve also seen the news of a tragic school shooting at a high school near Denver. These people literally live next to Russia, but they think we’re at far greater risk of life here in the US.

Three people were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, authorities say.

I don’t celebrate gun violence. I don’t celebrate political violence. But I’m also not going to listen to anyone eulogizing Charlie #Kirk as some great cultural figure. He was a cruel bigot who actively harmed this country. He was not a hero.

I’m well aware that #Apple is manipulating me with their “Apple Watch saved my life” segments. But as someone who uses technology to manage habits for mental health maintenance, I am 100% okay being manipulated.

I literally can’t think of anything more flaccid than Mike Johnson saying, “Yield, man!” to states the pres wants to invade.

Oh. Oh wait. I just remembered JD Vance exists. Never mind.

Mike Johnson: "I cannot for the life of me understand how the Democrats think this is some kind of winning political message. Yield man! Let the troops come into your city and show how crime can be reduced."
