that this is over the daylight savings bill of all things is ten times funnier

karl rove, handbasket reader?

So fucking glad we don't have to listen to Charlie Kirk's opinion on the Cornell story

foul balls are a huge concern for major league baseball. fans typically keep the ones they catch, and there's not exactly any good reason to buy a ticket to a baseball game if you have your own baseball at home you can look at anytime you want

The GOP has put $2 million to this campaign, and the billionaires have put $23 million in. Their contribution is 92% of the money Tiffany raised.

I feel like “everyone could use a snack and a nap” is applicable at basically all times these days

been reading regime change and I had either forgotten or not realized that the initial justification for the ongoing national guard occupation of DC was that big balls got beat up by teenagers.

It took like a week for him to change his mind on the "enjoy the camps" thing. All it took was people saying it to the mod team instead of trans people.

Got interviewed by one of the largest Swedish newspapers and they led with the best headline/photo (translates to “it’s easier to see an angry man than the truth”) www.svd.se/a/pB7E0G/ed-...

Just saw a US Army recruitment ad that was one big bug shy of Starship Troopers.

It's hot out there! Farm workers are out in the fields working in these conditions in triple digit temperatures. America we need to do better. 1/

Dangerously hot conditions with temperatures up to 90° on CAs coast and 105° in the valleys continue until 8 pm PDT Thursday. Farm workers are toiling in the fields in this dangerously hot weather working to put food on our tables 1/

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Here’s a story from today and one from February.

that hit had a launch angle of 49 degrees and exit velocity of 105mph and in the statcast era that has never once resulted in a home run Exit Velocity: 105 MPH, Launch Angle: 49° BA: .037 1B%: 0.0 2B%: 3.7 3B%: 0.0 HR %: 0.0

Impossible to understand how anyone could look at Rufo's career and conclude he was someone engaged in a "forthright defense of meritocracy." Rufo's entire career is built on the idea of purging people who don't think or look like him from positions of power.

pickles go alongside hotdogs and i'm tired of pretending this isn't a universal truth

Look, I’m not saying the Pope should bring back the Spanish Inquisition for everyone, but maybe in some special cases? As a little treat for the rest of us?

the brewers learning how to homer in the playoffs is like in Jurassic Park where the velociraptor figures out how to open the door

“my ex-husband fucking sucks but hold your nose and vote for him, I guess” Rs really busting out the big guns for the Texas seat, huh

probably about as good as i'm gonna get it

I remind everyone, again, that they tried year-round daylight saving time and stopped it because it got bunch of kids got killed in just a few weeks

Love to see Republicans embrace automatic enrollment. Boosts participation from 5% to 100%. Now let’s just do it with actual safety net programs. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/b...

me, agreeing to some gig months in advance: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! me, when it turns out the passage of time is real and I have to get on a plane: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Never assume that just because people hate something that you love, they MUST be ignorant or not understand it.

how old does it mean you are if you know what "cc" and "bcc" originally meant, asking for a friend who is collapsing into dust

Columnist Stephen Rattner probably got screwed over by the headline writer, but I'm seriously floored at how poor a job these six charts do at showing that we need AI.

Old enough to remember when Trump did this to Lindsey Graham in 2015 www.politico.com/story/2015/0...

Los Angeles should not be a hundred degrees in October thank you for coming to my TED talk

don't look now but dabo swinney and his boys are moving the sticks at kyle field as they try to bring the iron skillet back home to the swamp

Watched Sweet Charity last night. Yes, the plot barely holds together, but Fosse remains one of my favorite directors. The Rich Man’s Frug, Big Spender, There’s Gotta Be Something Better Than This, alone… the colors! The isolations! THE AMOEBAS

I don’t know if you’re going to convince the Pope to say AI has a soul when it took 1900 years to get the Catholic Church to budge even a little on “no meat on Fridays”

Olivia Rodrigo hosted a festival that raised $20m for abortion access nonprofits Macklemore sold out a Palestinian benefit tour after being forced off Ed Sheeran’s tour Zach Bryan released a new anti-AI song touring with a band that has multiple trans members Taylor Swift sang about Cleveland

this is a very informative pool report

Somehow I’m on the Sotheby’s mailing list so I thought maybe we should all chip in and buy this carving from the early Roman Empire to keep at my house. You can come see it. www.sothebys.com/en/articles/...

sometimes social media is good

Could do without another "The Man in the High Castle" reboot if I'm being honest

Farmworkers are walking door to door in Congressional District 22 to tell voters: Randy Villegas is a leader who will fight back against Trump and his friends. He cares about our community, unlike Valadao who does nothing. Support us by supporting Randy Villegas for Congress!

As of 1:00PM today, Hager Books, 2176 W. 41st, had two copies of the UK trade paper of Mona Lisa Overdrive on their SALE table outside, $13.99. I don’t think I even have one of those myself! (Unsigned, as I didn’t have time to prove I was me.)

Site-blocking isn’t just theoretically dangerous. Italy’s system blocked hundreds of innocent websites. Spain’s swept up domains belonging to Greenpeace and Harvard. Now Congress wants to bring this to the U.S. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

In August 2004, a group of 200 women stabbed a notorious serial rapist to death in a courthouse in Nagour, India.

At a free speech conference where an Iranian-born speaker is presenting over video from Sweden saying she doesn't feel safe coming to the US currently and noting the irony of her not being able to come to a free speech conference

Why not run ONE ad exposing the Gang Who Couldn't Epstein Straight? Their crotch-sniffing isn't just about them being sick perverts. They think you're a sucker. They think you don't see Elon & his Reich soaking up trillions, building dirty data centers up your ass while your mom can't afford gas.

If this were a group of immigrant men accused, Kelly would be calling for the electric chair.

As someone who really doesn’t go to the movies that much anymore, I remember seeing the preview to this before our screening of The Odyssey and thinking “wow that looks terrible, were the Coen brothers not available to make the actual movie it seems this wants to be?”

ain’t no rule says a blue whale can’t play basketball

The kiddos and I explored an abandoned power plant complex today, abandoned long enough ago that there’s a tree growing into the second floor.

studio execs: “Tom Cruise is even weirder than normal! Digger!” NORMAL PEOPLE: “Well that’s disconcerting, I wonder if there’s a football game on.”

anti-gross discourse here. feel free talk about whatever you like as long as it's not whatever shit is slopping over the brim today

This is an indirect measure of how much hypocrisy is baked into partisan politics now, at least for the GOP. They assume that they can accuse future Dem Presidents of engaging in authoritarian actions, regardless of whether if it is true or not, while dismissing any questioning of their integrity.

look if the Red Sox are going to be out of the postseason there’s nothing quite like Yankees schadenfreude to sustain us

While I’m doing Saturday Night Takes™, a big problem with social media turning everyone into pundits is that a lot of people are just really bad at punditry.

I have an idea for a prestige TV show: The Guy Who Didn’t Know In each episode we see a day in the life of a person who isn’t aware that something world-changing is happening around him.

Okay - updated upcoming guests on the show: Steve Burke from Gamersnexus on NVIDIA and Circular Financing, Nick Nemeth and Sam Koppelman on Private Credit, Nick Devor on Coinbase's Trading Cards, @robinwigglesworth.ft.com on the bond markets, Paul Kedrosky and Ed Elson on the post-midterms economy.

They’re all on the same flight and this is the only way for them to successfully remember their number to check in, as long as none of them change position

Also the position of Pope is one of the oldest active elected positions in world history.

When it’s Pride at the ancient Roman baths in Paris

The worst thing we managed to do is teach liberals about how to recognize certain symbols but not understand the rest of the context behind them. Or how to read the rest of a Wikipedia article. Hm, maybe the historical Massachusetts symbol has relevance at the Massachusetts show

It's worth asking yourself why every day of the week the New York Times and pretty much every major legacy media outlet runs pieces espousing increasingly incoherent arguments for investing more in AI.

some inexplicable a.i. slop posted by that a.i. guy who told the pope to shut the fuck up

one thing you start noticing in the texas polls is which ones poll in spanish I know which approach I think is more likely to produce an accurate result

As called by Tom Leach on Kentucky radio:

I just watched roman holiday as a night-before-flying-to-rome movie and now I really need to visit the mouth of truth

famed liar finally gets around to telling the third most-common lie

WE WILL RISE AGAIN won the Ignyte!! I'm so grateful for the little community that made this anthology real: the authors, our agents, & our amazing editor Sareena Kamath. And of course my magnificent co-editors @drkarenlord.bsky.social and @older.bsky.social 💕🚀🥹

People are madder about diesel than they were about trucks full of dead people because the morgues were overflowing.

"Carlos" shares, "I've worked in ag for 15+ years in the Brawley, CA area. Right now I'm driving the tractor preparing the land for planting. The temperature is over 105°, so I have to drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration." #WeFeedYou

When Frodo and I first set out on our walks, he does this cute little trot, like one of those fancy horses that do the high stepping. He loses it as he gets more tired but it's just one of many many things i adore about this dog.

This is actually a really good idea! I’ve been trying to think of what movies I could watch while on the treadmill, and that would probably be a great one

I think everyone who follows me has heard me say this 400 times but when it’s this hot at Dodger Stadium the ball go far.

whoever has this license plate is destined to become my nemesis

Emberward is probably the best roguelike tower defense game I've ever played, if you're in the market for that sort of thing

What good plays are there in London this Autumn? Not just West End, I have a theater degree, I can get weird with it.

Really glad to see this, and thanks for taking action @moskov.goodventures.org

wow do I hate today's discourse with every fiber of my being!!

spent the last 3-4 months learning a lot of modern economics and monetary policy stuff from scratch, which has been both exhausting and genuinely some of the most rewarding work I've ever done. Excited to expand what Better Offline covers as a result and teach my listeners all I know.

"Resurface"

Big news: A federal judge has dismissed the FACE Act case filed by the DOJ (Harmeet Dhillon, specifically) against pro-Palestine activists who organized against illegal land sale events. I covered the case in a larger piece for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2026/03/11/n...

Every year we go to a local carnival where my 5yo’s favorite thing is the water race, the game where you shoot a water gun at a target to move a metal horse across a board. So yesterday, I duly put down my $5 and helped him win a little stuffed dino.

A significant part here is that it matters a lot *which* LLMs people are using. That the president is using the Nazi LLM made by Musk, which also generates CSAM, is materially different from other commercial models, but especially from models that we could audit and inspect. This could be regulated!

First pitch temp on the field at Dodger Stadium

“Given today’s risks, frontier labs need to run like nuclear-power plants or busy airports, with layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning, so that the occasional and inevitable human error does not open a door to disaster. Right now, AI companies don’t know how—but other people do.”

Cars ruin everything! Everything.

"The only requirement to open a private school in Arkansas is displaying a flag and flagpole..." Sure, right of course.

Andy Pages cannot be allowed to challenge balls and strikes anymore unless he’s the final out of the game. Horrific.

Trading for Skubal was a good idea, IMO. More teams should have tried it.

they don’t know the red gape means this is a juvenile corvus corax

This sounds pretty chaotic, where Israeli journalists accused the Irish of racism for a game most people in Ireland would prefer not to see played at all.

And to put a fine point on it, disabled kids are being removed from their homes now because of Republicans' cuts.

it is amazing how mad people get at you about a literal copy and paste from the statcast

Emailed a conspiracy entrepreneur I'm acquainted with for comment on something without remembering that he developed specific theories *about me*. Whoops!

us soccer has a future and his name is cavan sullivan

lots of liberty biberty hate on this website. fair enough. perhaps the golf now gopher is only on my tv and no one else can see him.

Starting this week, I'm going to be streaming on Twitch and YouTube a couple afternoons a week about the news, politics, current events. Here's the Twitch link: www.twitch.tv/ktabz2/

“The first step to doing good in an effective manner is to be honest about our cognitive limitations—and to take seriously the ever-present danger that even the most well-meaning and thoroughly “researched” interventions may prove to be counterproductive.”

Hey Siri, how do I limit AI data access? In the latest EFFector newsletter and podcast, we're talking about the privacy complications of AI phone features like Apple's new Siri AI: www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Expressing surprise that the racist propagandist Chris Rufo said something less than colorblind in the podcast he cohosts with a notorious fascist publisher
