Went shopping for throw pillows, experienced ennui from which I may never recover

“ChatGPT, make me a bus poster with schlocky AI art that normalizes the National Guard patrolling DC”
Poster on bus with text “We guard the peace. DC National Guard” showing national guard members in camouflage and helmets and some with bulletproof vests that say “military police.” The background shows the US Capitol, Jefferson Memorial, and other DC landmarks

A man in a position of power refusing to let his home life be dominated by his work phone, that's great

Oh it's Trump's FEMA administrator and he's not reachable during emergencies b/c his phone is in a box. Of course
Screenshot from Washington Post. HIghlighted part says: "He usually puts his phone in a box when he gets home and rarely answers it after hours." Whole thing reads: "Historically, FEMA administrators carry a bag with multiple devices with them, including top security clearance phones from the White House that give a select group of people access to high levels of classified information, such as intelligence about a particular threat. "But Richardson rarely uses government communication and top security phones, according to several current and former officials. "He "is not a big fan of cellphones" and tries to limit his sons' exposure to them, said a person who has worked closely with him. He usually puts his phoen in a box when he gets home and rarely answers it after hours, according to two former officials who worked with him."

I can tell this is snarky but literally cannot tell what it thinks it’s saying (from “the abundance deluson” cover story in The Atlantic)
Potentially, I mean. Can this be Abundance? Can center-left liberals, who claim they want to introspect and reform and actually build a lot of housing and infrastructure, and generate new resources rather than punitively redistribute us all into stagnation, open their tent in such a way that there is room for committed, eat-the-rich communism and sensible housing policy alike? Can they not only wrench the youth of their party from Hasan Piker's armpits, but actually get Hasan, a real authentic bad-boy socialist, to join them? What do you say, fellow kids, mass murder but make it YIMBY? Yeah, man, sorry, I don't see it. Provided that the purpose of the Abundance movement is earnestly to galvanize the left under the banner

Imagine having a national platform to write about anything at all and choosing to write “i don’t like trans people” over and over and over again

Can you believe the NYT best movies thing does not have Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar as an option 🤯
My ballot for the New York Times 10 best movies of the 21st century: Crazy Rich Asians, Get Out, Children of Men, Ocean’s Eleven, Inside Out, Boyhood, The Fall Guy, Arrival, Barbie, and a blank space where Barb and Star Go To Vista Del Mar should be

“Lethal violence flares” is a very passive-voice way to say Israel is starving everyone in Gaza and then shooting people who come to aid sites to try to get food
NYT headline “As world turns focus to Iran, Lethal Violence fares at Gaza Aid Sites”

Picked up my preordered copy of Making Friends Can Be Murder by @kathleenwest.bsky.social! So exited to read this murder mystery featuring a group of women named Sarah Jones who team up to solve the murder of another Sarah Jones with the help of a handsome FBI agent and a snarky nun! ☠️🕵🏻✨
Hand holding a book with the title “Making Friends Can Be Murder” written on yellow caution tape over colorful stylized images of mug shots of four women, each holding a name plate that says Sarah Jones. The bottom of the cover says the author’s name, Kathleen West, Author of Are We There Yet?

Well if this isn’t the most dystopian thing I’ve seen yet today, including Stephen Miller saying “children will be taught to love America”

Great article except WTH is this aside that Trump is generally appalled by plastic surgery? Has he looked at his own head or any of the women around him?

www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
What sealed Loomer's fate, according to two people who were part of these conversations, wasn't just her racist diatribes but also her appearance: Trump, who is generally appalled by plastic surgery, was disgusted to learn about the apparent extent of Loomer's facial alterations. (When asked for comment, Cheung told me, "Laura was a hard worker in the primaries and President Trump appreciates a fighter.")

You guys, Jeff Bezos has reassured us that his views are, in fact, principled! Wow I feel so silly for worrying

Late June so it’s time to protest the fresh horrors our unelected judicial overlords are decreeing for our future. Nice democracy we’ve got here

Hanging out on Capitol Hill all day to avoid too much driving to/from my kid’s beloved bike camp, and very glad I remembered the existence of libraries before I paid for a coworking space! Free WiFi, lots of tables, you can even reserve rooms for mtgs! ❤️ those public goods

The inclusion of “Google” on this poster feels like a strong argument for breaking up the company
Cheap-looking printer paper sized sign reading “DON’T GAIN THE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR SOUL/Google “Divine Revelation Of Hell”/ By Mary K. Baxter” stuck to the edge of a utility box, stone wall visible in the background
