Insufferable scold, (((Democrat))), NorCal -> 🇩🇪 - > Omaha and trying to be ok with that. The cat is Yitzhak Toe-Bean, Z"l
I'm sorry, I'm part of a tortured mini-generation inbetween gen X and Millenials, and I'm deeply resentful of both, but my only consolation is that we had the best music

This woman is such a hack. Thiel sold off $100 mil worth of Nvidia stock... Back in the summer. It's a relatively small amount given his wealth and what Nvidia is valued at but she's pretending it was a big deal that happened yesterday.
The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

1/ If you're interested in housing and the debates within the Democratic party about how much is needed and how to get it built, you need to read this profile of CA NIMBY slayer @scottwiener.bsky.social by @jetjocko.bsky.social.

I think a lot of people really struggle to come to terms with the fact that there are genuinely some problems that don’t have great solutions, only least bad ones.

Her piece about Biden, which was itself badly written fiction, was itself a huge ethics scandal because her fuck boy was *running against him*
The piece quotes Kara Swisher — later identified as a friend of Nuzzi's — saying her piece about Biden's age was "the best political reporting out there."

But it wasn't! It came out two weeks after the debate and is just a bunch of anonymous quotes from insiders. Replacement-level stuff.

Nuzzi, like TCW, exists as a kind of simulacrum of the midcentury public intellectual. Not even ripping off the writers of that era, but imitating a sort of half-remembered, half-invented idea of what those writers were sort of like and what their general vibe was.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.

(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)

Great obit—no paywall.

I wasn't aware that anyone referred to Bill Clinton as "Bubba" since 1998 when Forrest Gump was released.

We only have one Bubba at a time. The crown was passed.
finding out that everyone on bluesky thinks there's only one "bubba" in america is wild

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Gavin Newsom satiates his dark urges in a normal and wholesome way (philandering with ADULTS, hunting CONSENTING homeless people for sport at the Getty compound, and alcoholism). it's not that hard to live your values.

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.
