One fine day in the late 1990s, I was introduced, in rapid succession, to MP3s, WinAmp, and “Fire Water Burn”, so the latter is a bit of a milestone in my personal chronicles.

Man I’m seeing people post things like “you don’t know what Jeffries or the DNC have planned!” My dude if they have some great plan to save America they should probably start telling me about it because the secrecy sure isn’t helping

Seb*, the orange guy, is inhumanly patient with Linda, his little adopted sister, who likes to cuddle up against him every chance she gets. * short for Sebastian
Seb, a year-old orange cat, is curled up on a plush shelf suction-cupped to a window. Linda, a three-month-old kitten, is curled up around his head, so that only his mouth and nose are visible.Seb and Linda are on a heating pad and cushion atop the floor. Seb is stretched out, while Linda is curled up against his side.When she’s not curling up against her brother, Linda likes to work on her otter impression, stretched out on her back in the crook of a love seat, with her paws just under her chin.

Only three episodes in myself, but have enjoyed everything I’ve seen so far. Is it just me, or does the series itself have, in a very good way, more emotional depth than the trailer seemed to convey?

TVs have gone from bulky, heavy boxes with small, low-res interpolated screens to stupidly high-res, high-dynamic-range panels that can cover the better part of a wall, and weigh a fraction of what their CRT forebears did.

FWIW, Kagi’s AI usage defaults to opt-in on a per-query basis — you have to end the query with a question mark — and they just recently announced new options to disable even that, so they seem to smell which way the wind is blowing.

I can personally attest that paying for Kagi is absolutely worth it. Good search results out of the box, with all kinds of available filtering refinements (“bangs” and “lenses”) on top of that.

I think it’s far more likely that potential donors are exasperated with candidates’ fundraising messages: they talk about elections like horse races, instead of saying, forcefully, “If you vote us in, we WILL bring these bastards to heel.”

I voted for Gore, and thought Bush was an assclown from the start, but it has to be said that Gore’s campaign was… underwhelming. The memory of him saying “They’re for the powerful, we’re for the people!” and sounding almost like a real human boy while doing it haunts me to this day.

I absolutely agree with you, but am simultaneously reminded of a classic.
A Far Side cartoon in while multiple cavemen are feasting on a slain animal. One caveman is holding a sprig of parsley near his mouth, which another says, “Zak! Don't eat parsley! …Just  for looks!”

"It looks like they're brewing Yodas in there. It is so uncannily green and visibly slimy that it feels inevitable that video will soon surface of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. splashing around in it with jeans on." Everything @davidjroth.bsky.social writes is a banger, but this piece is my new favorite.

No. You worry about the slippery slope when you aren't already at the bottom of the chasm. Now? An ideological Supreme Court is discarding settled precedent on a whim, bad reasoning and worse history, and stacking the deck further with unreasoned shadow docket fuckery. Fuck the slippery slope.

Todd Blanche, the President's former personal lawyer, is a corrupt grifter who has proven he will always put Trump above the law. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that. I'm voting NO. We should not let these crooks run the DOJ like a mob family.

The Knicks were ahead halfway through the third quarter but there were wide changes in the results after that. It undermines integrity in the score.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

Huffpost: Trump used Saturday's shooting outside the White House to repeat demands that his big ballroom be added to the executive mansion. Trump needs to be thankful he's a man, otherwise some people might think he's too chickenshit to be president. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed
