Liberal men of bluesky - stop going to bars to meet women and start going to Target. The M/F ratio is way better and women are already there looking for things they don’t need but want.

These are my favorite kinds of AI search results. I'd like to think that one percent of Lake Erie vanishes with each return like this.

A fake screenshot of someone querying "the name of a local business (I just want to see their hours)" on Google. The AI overview responds with:

Oh, shit. Don't panic. We'll get through this. Here is what your mysterious query might actually mean.

• Local businesses tend to have names: This helps people distinguish different businesses from each other. For example, Target can't be also called "Home Depot" because that would create confusion.

• Businesses that are local take less time to reach than businesses far away: If choosing between two businesses, keep in mind that if one of them is in a different state or country, it will take you longer to get there.

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

The cruelty is the point

Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @joshuaeakle.com · 20h

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
