At some point I’m gonna go spend 6 months living on a narrowboat in the canals of the English countryside and writing a book, this is a thing that will happen.

It’s nice to see the trumpies are deep in their own Gorpman / Bleemer era. I remember how that works out so I love this for them.

Everything is fake now. Also this post has a number of pretty deeply-buried gags and bits, so if you're like "this is kinda mediocre" you probably just didn't see them all. Yeah. www.todayintabs.com/p/even-if-it...

Again, because it’s been a while: Conor Friedersdorf’s whole job is to pretend to believe the stupidest possible thing about every person and event. You can’t get mad at him for just doing his job!

This is generally true but when I namesearch it’s 50% people quoting funny things I wrote and 50% adorable dogs up for adoption so I guess I’m just built different

In hindsight we’re gonna realize these were the opening ads of the Trump 2028 campaign, and also the clearest sign yet that the Constitution is no longer in effect, because no one can or will do anything about this.

Nothing gives me the "Is hopping timelines real?" shivers than remembering how, 20 years before this iconic bit aired, I sat for days in my basement as a depressed tween, painstakingly shooting a claymation video set to R.E.M.'s "Stand." www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCUz... @kentremendous.bsky.social

Reading these reviews is like watching John Henry race the steam drill, except the steam drill in this case is just another regular hammer that John Henry also has to operate. www.todayintabs.com/p/meta-s-new...

Quadruple heating oil prices in Maine at the beginning of winter, just before the midterms. Brilliant gambit sir.

“Telexing?” Ohhhhh yeah I see.

Telex is a telecommunication system that allows text-based messages to be sent and received by teleprinter over telephone lines. The term "telex" may refer to the service, the network, the devices, or a message sent using these. (highlighted:) Telex emerged in Germany in the 1930s (end highlight) and became a major method of sending text messages electronically between businesses in the post-World War I| period. Its usage declined as the fax machine grew in popularity in the 1980s.

In June I did a calculation of the downstream environmental and harm of a strike on a refinery like this, and I’ll repost it here: The Moscow Oil Refinery processes 12M tonnes of crude a year, ≈ 240,000 barrels a day. It's in a residential area, with people living within 500m of the tanks.
