Chuck really thinks he’s a genius for this, too
"Oh gosh, wow, 8 rogue Dem senators, the exact number of votes Republicans needed to reopen the government, voted yes. I, Chuck Schumer have nothing to do with that" is such obvious BS.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

Especially if the noisy bar started talking about annexing your house.

If I lived next to a noisy bar I'd probably talk about the noisy bar a lot too

Worth keeping in mind that the Republicans, who control both houses of Congress, could have ended the shutdown all by themselves at *any time* if they had wanted to.

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

“Stay tuned! I’m humiliating myself!”
Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

Like even Rob Ford was enthusiastic about football and could talk knowledgeably about it. Guys like Trump, Musk, all that bunch — nothing. Nothing at all.
The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine
The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

The populist right doesn‘t rank absolute improvements in their own lives as highly as they do improvements relative to their enemies. Indeed, they will gladly take absolute losses if their enemies take bigger ones. The biggest constituency of their enemies is their fellow citizens.

When a new administration finally takes over, it should not only remove all of this, but have a live camera crew there to *show* all these crappy plastic Home Depot decals getting peeled off the walls. Everything about this is fake, and everyone needs to see that.

I think there are actual use cases for generative AI when what you want is the qualitative average of a dataset. Have our hiring decisions tended sexist? The exaccerbate-your-biases machine will tell you! But right now we're training it wrong, using it wrong, and betting the planet on our mistakes.

If you want to know the basic framework for, well, pretty much everything these days, it’s organized crime
These new details from last summer's confrontation between Rob Manfred and Bryce Harper are absolutely insane.

MLB officials threatening players will "end up in a ditch" for disrespecting Manfred is outrageous behavior.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...
