very tired of being told it is the responsibility of urban democratic voters never to risk possibly maybe by chance seeming less than respectful of rural red state life and then watching thousands in nebraska cheer on the president joking about a nuclear strike on me and millions of my neighbors

We should enlist a sacrificial lamb D candidate to mirror the shit Trump says just to see how the media handles it. Like today they could suggest that Iran kill everyone in iowa. Bet the media wouldn't leave that one alone

for Q3: • private equity and venture capital execs • Jake Auchincloss and Seth Moulton, the two worst MA representatives • Charlie Baker against Q3: • Progressive Mass • Ayanna Pressley • Ed Markey as I've said before, even if I knew nothing else but who's on which side, that'd be enough. No on 3!

When I turned 50 I "joked" that I'd hit the age where if I dropped dead they wouldn't say "wow something awful must have happened" they'd now say "wow that's really young"

Ten years ago at (The Independent? I think?) I watched as the wait staff brought back to the kitchen a series of Fluffertinis that a series of patrons had tried one sip of and were like, nah, maybe something else

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

The BEST thing that true believers in AI could do is stop evangelizing to people, like me, who think it sucks. Do the hard, years-long work of detaching your beloved technology from the worst people in the world right now: shameless fascists driven by greed and domination. They’re YOUR partners.

Image of a child lying facedown on a froze lake.  above is the portal where you ask AI questions about government services.  the question matching this image is:  "How can I invest in my child's future?"
