Why doesn't NYC ticket more for blocking intersections? That's like rule #1 of driving in LA, you don't enter an intersection unless you see you can clear it.

Just mad annoying that I can't find people to talk about TV shows I'm watching because everyone has different streaming services.

Whoever is teaching courses on AI vibe coded app development that's telling people to go on Reddit with "genuinely curious" research questions... Kindly knock it off.

Mystery: "Where am I?" Surprise: "You're in the hospital! You got hit by a car." Theater: "Lots of people saw it happen!"

Amtrak getting in there with the ad placement. 🚄🚆
Reddit news article: "US says it may be forced to shut down some airports over funding standoff" right above an Amtrak ad: "Traveling as a group? Ride Acela together and save up to 60%."

TikTok Shop tried to get me to change a product title with AI. It suggested a longer title. OK fine, let's click it so it shuts up. A minute later, it tried to get me to change *the very product title it had provided* to an even longer one with AI. Just brainless word salad generation.

I would love. Just once. To go a whole day where no sites ask for cookie settings, no pages make me click "read more", and no apps offer feature tours. I am tired. Let me just read the articles and use the apps.

Just now realizing that I am *not* insane, and Baltimore has *two different systems* of color-coded buses. Two completely different green routes. One free, one $2. Two completely different purple routes. One free, one $2. Two completely different orange routes. One free, one $2.

Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.
The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone. These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It's really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!

Precisely this. Kirk was not engaging in actual discussion with anyone. His entire brand was baiting unprepared undergrads into providing content that he could heavily edit for use in advancing his audience's favored narrative fantasies about clueless kids.

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane
Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.
