a few years ago, references to Simon of Trent or Leo Frank trutherism were a sign that someone was an intensely Christian and/or Neo-Nazi right-wing antisemite but now formerly-normal lefty politics influencers who stayed on Twitter casually reply to Mamdani with 15th century blood libel posts

Started listening to a Discworld novel that mentions “the Ninja Morrismen of New Ankh” and I immediately heard Alex Trebek’s voice go “Bizarre little men, you’re still in control of the board.”

Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
Al music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all Al music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago.
Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

Q: You voted in favor of the war in Iran. It's proven to be pretty unpopular. What do you see as the offramp here? HUSTED: First of all, I didn't- that's not what that vote was. Here's the bottom line. These are the people that want higher gas prices right now. Iran, Russia, & Democrats in Congress

Procedural hardball is disruptive, but makes perfect sense from a radical perspective. The whole question is whether there’s a good basis for radicalization. Given [gestures everywhere] the answer’s clearly yes. www.offmessage.net/p/the-new-ra...

Housing construction is not up 59% since 2018. To get that number Newsom is comparing incomplete data from 2018 — missing San Diego and other big cities — to more complete data from 2024. So his number captures changed response rates not that level of increased production.

sorta weird US/Canada thing is that every major Canadian city kicks ass and is top tier, there's no meh or shitty big cities, and there are some in the US. however, there also imo aren't as many good second tier Canadian cities, which the US does have.

You have staffers to know about sports and stuff so you don’t get embarrassed like this. The problem with hiring groypers is that all of their normal guy knowledge has been removed and replaced with theories about skull shapes.

msrachelforlittles From Google earth. Silence is complicity in genocide at this point.

More people need to rate (proposed community note):

When there are tunnels twice the size of both the NYC and London subway stations, you need to root out the whole thing. We cannot allow Hamas (as well as the Gazan citizens who joined in the terror) to have any working systems. It's a shame that Gazan children were forced to dig these. It's a bigger shame the world blames Israel for Gazan child abuse. Friendly reminder to the bot accounts with over 250K followers, this is not a "genocide."

funny to me that last year taylor lorenz was privately trying to suggest i was being funded by peter thiel after we got into an argument over her shitty takes, and now she’s literally running cover for him saying being evil is good. quite a journey she’s on.

Taylor Lorenz: "Listening to this whole interview and these comments in context you see he is actually making a pretty nuanced point. You can criticize him all u want but taking clips out of context to manufacture outrage is so lame— critique what he actually said!"

Just a reminder that this is the same Sen. Schmitt who repeatedly claimed that Chief Judge Boasberg was receiving a disproportionate share of Trump-related cases because he confused the D.C. Superior Court (which has 62 judges) with the D.C. district court (which has 15).
