Remember when Mitch McConnell was going to kill the IRA if Democrats tried to pass the CHIPS Act, and then Chuck Schumer and Joe Manchin got into a huge fight over CHIPS and it was irreversibly dead just long enough for the IRA to pass?

Chuck Schumer rejecting out of hand the one point of leverage he has, the one that was actually working really well last year until he caved, is the most Chuck Schumer he can be.

Companies (and possibly their boards) should be legally liable for images their technology produces. Also, deepfaking pornographic images should probably be classified as sexual harassment, possibly sexual assault, with all of the legal repercussions that entails.

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Oh, no. Not Michaelangelo. I never thought he’d be the type to kowtow to authority. If any of the turtles was going to pull a stunt like this, I’d have thought it’d be Donatello.
The corporate media continues to minimize elite complicity in this administration’s cruel policies. This is not a nameless Ninja Turtle. This is Michaelangelo. Name and shame these guys!

Squads of masked men showing up at daycares should be met with the business end of a rifle and informed they have ten seconds to vacate the premises. This should be legally protected to ensure the safety of children.
these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

1v1 game. Each player gets a walnut tied to a string. They take turns hitting their opponent’s walnut with theirs until one of the walnuts cracks. Whoever manages to crack the other person’s walnut gets a 10 second head start in basic arithmetic problems.

The awkward thing about dealing with these people is that, while I don’t consider myself superior to most non-Jews, I absolutely am superior to Julie here, and she’ll extrapolate that to think it’s bigotry on my part instead of her bigotry putting her value squarely below the average human.

If you’re being attacked by neo-Nazis, you probably shouldn’t buy into their talking point that Hitler was secretly Jewish (and yes, saying, “Hitler was a Pharisee,” is the same as saying, “Hitler was too Jewy”). Also, using Pharisee as an insult is the “Jewish=bad” position you claim to be against.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has been missing for weeks. We found several exsanguinated geese and heard a report of a child stealing a rowboat while talking about, “dealing with that jerk down in Transylvania.” We’re not sure what’s happened with him, but we’re all duly terrified.

I thought the family edition was, “Apples to Apples.”
12YO has been having board game club after school and loving Cards Against Humanity so my wife ordered him a copy for his birthday without realizing that he must have been playing the family edition and, uh, we realized it a whole lot when the kids took it out to start playing, lol.

I view this as confirmation that potato kugel (and therefore other kugels as well) is a soufflé. For anyone who was wondering what kind of dish a kugel is.

This man supports murdering Jews. His and any other political ideology that similarly supports murdering Jews is not an ideology that can be allowed to exist, even if they get uncomfortable when people say the word “antisemite.” Whatever they are, they have to go.
