Still her finest moment

Professional idiot Caitlin Flanagan tweeting "I think they speak through history with one voice" in an attempt to cover her ass after it became apparent she believed the Ayatollah Khomeini who died in 1989 and the current supreme leader of Iran were the same guy

Good things can still happen

TL;DR: Trevor Bauer is ending his NPB career being pulled from the playoff roster for blowing a scrimmage game against a semipro team that hasn't developed any meaningful baseball talent since before the bicentennial, after ending the season DEAD LAST in ERA along qualified pitchers.

Hard to escape the feeling that Gunn's more obnoxious tendencies are going to get worse now that he doesn't have a leash

Ok James Gunn you can cool it with the goofy Eurotrash hair metal stuff, we get it

More like Windom Earle-Sears. This lady's trying to find the Black Lodge!

WATCH: Winsome Earle-Sears says her opposition to marriage equality or her support for LGTBQ+ Americans being fired for being gay is "not discrimination." #VAGov

Referring to the effort to dismantle our public school system as "dramatically expand(ing) school choice" is not neutral language and abets the conservative framing

Megan O'Matz @megomatz.bsky.social · 2d

The Trump administration is working to dramatically expand school choice, moving kids to a range of private & religious schools or homeschooling. Ultimately, what percentage of children would remain in public schools? A Moms for Liberty co-founder told me: “I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.”

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Almost all of the work I've done over the last decade has been in private repos and the stuff that's public is, like, a shitty ad hoc Wordpress plugin for a company that no longer exists. Which part exactly did you find inspiring.

Come on man you have to make this shit semi-plausible

Unsolicited email, either a scam or a particularly dumb recruiter:

Hi Sean,

I’m Kevin, full-stack engineer. I came across your GitHub and was inspired by your work.

It’d be great to connect and exchange thoughts.

Warm regards,
Kevin

Love knowing all this shit is enabled by default just so some analyst can say the adoption rate is through the roof when people accidentally engage it. My buddy just told me Tesla rolled Grok out to their cars and hijacked a common button shortcut to activate it so he keeps turning it on by mistake.

AI-powered Clippy for when you get stuck on a puzzle and are too lazy to google a walkthrough. Like all this shit I'm sure it's something they hope they can get people hooked on and then start charging for later.

Still remember when some lady who owned a chain of salons told Bernie at a town hall that she couldn't afford to pay for medical plans for her employees and was aghast when he told her she was stealing from them to stay afloat. These people aren't used to hearing that they're anything but virtuous.

If they were dumb enough to think they could pocket sales tax as revenue without anyone noticing I can only imagine what they were skimming off of their workers

Definitely looking like a "we were too cheap to hire a real CPA and overestimated our ability to navigate it ourselves" situation. Many such cases!

Their beer was terrible but if you can't make it work being next door to Broncos stadium and Meow Wolf you are fucking up real bad

Another local brewery in a prime location is closing and posted a big sob story about how Denver city government was vindictive and forced them out of business. Turns out they weren't paying sales taxes and the city tried to work with them on repayment plans for years. Small business owners, man.

"Food" Thoyd @spaceplans.bsky.social · 28d

Some overdue contraction in the Denver brewery scene due to cost increases and people generally drinking less but sucks that the ones that are shutting down seem to be the better ones

No, it isn't. That isn't true.

"Look at this nerdy white guy right here!"

Still from s1e7 of Detroiters, "Smilin' Jack." Donut, a mediocre standup comic, has a crowdwork set centering around nerdy white guys marrying black women that relies on Tim being in the audience. Tim is not in the audience because he got stuck working late on a commercial shoot due to the star's fear of gorillas, thereby ruining Donut's set
