It is February 6th and it is 82°F outside. I live north of the tropics. Something is definitely wrong.

Look, I know it’s a very low form of humor, but I literally can’t read any news about this upset without this image popping into my head.

I’m not sure where I miscalculated, but I have accidentally made an incomprehensibly large batch of chicken and dumplings. What am I going to do with two gallons of chicken and dumplings.

As I understand things, the crime syndicates that used to run in-person enterprises like underground casinos had to pivot to purely electronic scams (e.g., pig butchering) during COVID lockdown, and have found them significantly more profitable, so they never went back.

Seeing an uptick in new, fascist-aligned accounts on here, and some of you dolts are interacting with them enough to get them on the Discover feed.

Bad poster. No donut.

Block, block, block, and move on. Do not interact. Deprive them of the enraged reactions they crave, and they’ll go away.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

As a libertarian, I think it’s important that Americans understand that if they just do what the government says, they won’t get shot.

I’m usually skeptical of the impact of individual action (vs collective action), but it seems to me that enough of this kind of thing might make a real impact.

UX designers -- don't do this, and don't allow the underlying data structure to force you to do this. You can escape characters, and I fucking guarantee you that people are far more expert about what their actual goddamn name is than you are.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

For some reason, NYT decided to send me a push notification for this article today, which is just a huge leopard-themed shot/chaser moment.

Oooo. The conservative subreddit are having some people wake up a tad. They’re getting slammed but it’s nice to see even a tiny bit of awareness

I hate to find myself agreeing with NYT’s opinion column, because they’re usually *bad* opinions, but there are really good observations in here that read squarely on the upcoming primary. Gift link.
