The death penalty is one of those things where I tend to assume everyone normal agrees with me and then it comes up and it’s like, oh! You DO believe the state should kill people!

I've been self-employed since '11 & the worst part of it is not the constant hustling or the complicated taxes. It's that every client has their own policies & bureaucracies & they never tell you what they are, but expect you to know them. It's all made up, guys! You gotta inform outsiders!

GEORGE SPRINGER LAST DAY MOODBOARD

Screenshot of a tweet that says “At Rogers Centre, the Blue Jays have hit a game-winning 3+ run HR in the 7th inning or later to eliminate an opponent in all 4 rounds:

1993 WS: Carter
2015 ALDS: Bautista
2016 ALWC: Encarnacion
2025 ALCS: Springer

No other team has more than 1 such HR at home in their entire history

More cars heading to offices downtown is 100% a way to address traffic congestion, by making it worse. It annoys me when people say the government isn’t doing anything about traffic; because they are, just not in a way that makes anything better

Normalizing threats against politicians is bad for democracy. *However* every time a story like this comes up, it seems like a good time to remind people that there are many of us who receive messages like this *by the hour* & those same police forces tell us they're powerless to do anything.

It reminds me of the hype around Level 4 autonomous cars being 10y away since the 90s. Or the same with fusion power plants. Its still 10y away, and I don't see that time horizon getting shorter.

I get exhausted when older colleagues are talking about it as something that can "improve their workflows". I'm already old, they are on their way out, and we (as an industry) have stopped hiring juniors. If I retire in 25y, who is going to replace me? A LLM?

Ru has not agreed to a single thing Ukr wants: NATO membership, peacekeeping troops, reparations, return of kidnapped children, etc.

You cannot make this stuff up. The GOP’s Dallas midterm convention put Ross Ulbricht—the Silk Road founder convicted on 7 federal counts, including narcotics trafficking and money laundering—on stage. Trump pardoned him in 2025. TWO LIFE SENTENCES. And THIS is who they’re putting on a pedestal?

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.
