i think if a kennedy who has never had a job that wasn't being a kennedy announces that they are running for office they should be humanely euthanized if you can't talk them out of it

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I don’t watch the Colbert CBS show, just not a fan of it generally, but when Colbert has a dorky love of Lord of the Rings, its endearing because it’s an actual human emotion we all share about our own things. Meanwhile Jimmy Fallon is doing Fortnite dances like a ventriloquist doll named Mr Peppers

It's still fuck the walled garden but is this the amazing UX I've been hearing about???

First time I've felt the ✨ polish ✨
Okay I'm big enough to admit it; MacOS letting you take an application out of the trash is pretty swell

As a cyclist, jail.

They're resurfacing a major cyclist route in my neighborhood and lots of folks have taken to the sidewalk to avoid the dangerous road surface.

Tough shit. Your options are:
- ride on the torn up road (50% of ppl are)
- find a detour
- walk the bike on the sidewalk
What do y'all think about adults riding bikes on the sidewalk

Actually, I say let's go ahead and let these guys brand AI slop as Web 4.0. Hear me out: this framework accepts that Web 3.0 really was just 18 months or so of people trying to sell cartoon jpgs for profit, and establishes a trend line wherein "AI platforms" are the next devolutionary step.
I just got an email declaring "Web 4.0 is dawning."

No it isn't. Shut up. What is wrong with you? Have some fucking self-respect.

Kept up with the same world this time, built chunk loaders that keep my whole base loaded which really improved throughput on the iron farm

built a raid farm and an ominous bottle farm, lots of landscaping and actually building out home base

built a ton of storage with hopper item sorters
The Minecraft phase has been really productive this go round but I can feel that winding down

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.
I think political writers actually should have an opinion about a guy in his 40s having a Nazi tattoo. The decision to keep it on their body may tell us more than their website.

🎂 Happy birthday, #NYCSubway! 121 years ago #OnThisDay in 1904, the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) subway opened with 28 stations along a 9.1-mile line extending from City Hall to 145th Street. This #NYTMCollection silent film, shot just months after the subway opened, shows its early days.

Like I get it, google needs to boost their AI stats but this is insane
It's fucking bonkers that the AI on my phone is now "taking a message" when I decline a call

I wouldn't care that much but for some reason my auto stays paused while it does this

Motherfucker, I sent the (spam) call to voicemail!!

This is a solved problem! We already have voicemail transcription

Obama is the lynchpin of neoliberal failure:

- no bankers went to jail for the financial crisis
- no punishment for Bush era crimes including torture
- no reigning in open market manipulation and illegal activity of tech disruptors like Uber
- refused to reform the filibuster
- drone wars expanded
obama ramped up the use of drone strikes (10x more than bush!) and deported a record number of immigrants. he helped maintain and expand the systems trump is now using to do his crimes
I miss the times when the worst thing a President did was wear a tan suit
