If you're going to make Nic Cage Madden, I feel like you gotta go all in, fictionalize his life and make him get over his fear of flying just in time to board Flight 93, and hijinx ensue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjOL...

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Tiny Tim was to remember that distant holiday when he did not die.

This is Unit Five-Two-D. Level five, room two, the D is for Day shift. Seven levels of factory, seven rooms per level, seven tables per room, seven men, each table. My name is Kino Loy. I'm the Five-Two-D unit manager. The forty-nine men in this room answer to me.

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say
This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

these people swore an oath to defend the constitution but i guess that’s just too hard
Schumer tells me Republicans might try to jam Democrats again in September, but thinks Trump will be less popular then and Republican appropriators might be more willing to stand up to him. He said they refused to do so now.

I maxed out my credit card, emptied my savings account, and took out a loan to move from Alabama to Bethesda, MD. I don’t even qualify for unemployment since I’ve only worked at NIH for a month. I will be financially and medically devastated.

Seeking suggestions for anywhere that’s hiring!!
Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where *everyone* cared about their job and serving others.

“Yes, we briefly constructed a user-focused social media website so popular and culturally relevant we had Zuckerberg quaking in his boots, but we threw it all away to protect one weasely little bigot with a mid-tier Substack.”

is that what we’re doing here, Bluesky

it was going so well
Personally, I think Jesse Singal should be banned from Bluesky for his own protection.
Personally I think it’s a rather bizarre choice, both ethically and from a business perspective, to not only allow notorious harasser Jesse Singal to stay on the site, but to actively protect him in ways that aren’t afforded to more vulnerable users in the process.

It sounds dumb but I think it is genuinely hard to understand: all this incredible reorganization of American society—the subservience of an entire political party, the fracturing of reality/elevation of the most absurd lies, the sheer concept of presidential immunity—all that for THIS fucking guy?

Incredible that the Harris-Walz campaign is just basically this now, and it's working.

I wonder if the AI craze has reached the point you could get VC funding to train a LLM on the Juche corpus.
