Oh god arguing about what kind of tax it is is so pointless. The transit agencies have no control over what kind of tax they are allowed to ask for! They cannot fix our greater injustices! Sheesh.

@anabnos.com I’m going to pitch you a story tomorrow. If you run with it I’ll be even happier than the time you quoted me on Soccer Every Day.

This was the first I saw of this game and I was too late for the Kickstarter but when I read about the game I wanted it. When do you expect it to go to retail?

Greece also punished people for saying things they didn’t like, just as Rubio. Rumeysa Ozturk is Rubio’s Socrates.

The current trend in stock games is “if you own the most stock you control the company” which means “one player might get no turns” which I absolutely hate. The economic aspects of Power Grid, I adore.

Did you recognize any names from academia? Were any of them researchers focused on incarceration alternatives, violence reduction, etc?

Your job is way cooler than mine.

Hang him next to Hegseth after they are convicted at trial.

I think this is an MLS league match. No need to sully the Open Cup.

I can’t believe she’s suprised that a man doesn’t know what other men do in bed. It’s like she’s never met a straight man.

“Concacaf takes player eligibility concerns very seriously, especially every Mexico fan alive in 1990.”

Yep, South Africa had its win over Lesotho reversed because of an ineligible player—but that ineligibility was that he should have been serving a suspension.

There was a match result overturned in African qualification this cycle I think, due to an ineligible player. I wanna say South Africa was one of the teams involved?

What? Goddammit. At least I got mine at a garage sale.

“Lizzie Borden explains what tools and techniques can be applied to deal with these cameras.”

Environmental impact is a real thing. How do you strike the balance of keeping the EIS useful, and governments accountable, while removing the ability to weaponize it?

040

I don’t believe that matters. They lie in Congressional hearings, with impunity.

If It Happens before the pardons come, and Vance doesn’t deliver, we are all gonna laugh and laugh and laugh

The only room for disagreement is whether there are a few others to stick up there. But making that statement should not be a strike on a social network that’s not meant for children only.

030

Belle is like Joey Lauren Adams’ character in Chasing Amy, just looking for the right person no matter the gender.

000

Is German Village the name of the neighborhood? Or are they being fancy?

100

“Fascism lite” is “law and order”

Trumpers on dating apps always want someone who can do “critical thinking”

000

That’s what you get for going to a football game in hockey country

The inlet is high enough that it lets water in at high tide, but not out during ebb tide? That’s so cool.

Yeah, the podcast platforms I use do nothing for driving to or suggesting other content. The podcasts themselves do better with guests, or slipping episodes of others into their feeds.

030

Are you measuring views/publishing only to YouTube? As an audio-only listener, I never go to YouTube for podcasts, but one of my friends does.

160

There is one podcast I listen to where he did one episode that was a presentation with charts. But I only listened to audio, and while I would have gotten more with the video, it was fine without, because he was a good host and aware of his audience’s habits.

The first link doesn’t open for me, the second does. In Bluesky browser on iPhone, then launched into default iPhone browser for both.

Making an early, strong start on his career as Most Hated Man in Mexico. I love it.

The friends I made along the way stopped coming to the bar when the team stopped winning

001

First Amateur Division? The Bot really knows where to get the data.

Okay but I’ve seen those ads too and I wonder, so you’ll get to that on Monday, right?

Fuck AppleTV, fuck Eddy Cue, and fuck all the tech companies who just don’t care about their users. And fuck #mls for not caring either.

Dickens was supermarket books.

000

“Reading this will not lead them to read old books but will lead them to read other contemporary books” oh noes

100

There’s apparently a shortage of ADHD patches too. Is there a shortage of some ingredient needed for transdermal medication, or is this just a coincidence, I wonder?

Yes it is. And if I wanted to know what a character would think about something, I would rather ask the author than a chatbot. (Not always an option, but often!)

000

I mean, I wouldn’t want this… but by this logic, who has time to read books, you have to make dinner.

I get jealous of countries that declare holidays when they play in the World Cup, so I sort of get it, even though I refer to college football as “the minor leagues”.

“The ownership doesn’t care, we would be in the top half of the playoffs if we did” Guess what, league sports are zero-sum games. And for a team that stresses local connection and academy pipeline, there’s a lot of short-term thinking from fans right now.
