I’m sorry all the psyops to make people hate him failed badly. He’s cool as fuck, cares about the game, isn’t an asshole off the court, and does cool mob boss shit like tell his vet bench warmers to hard foul players
He’s 1 of 1 and I couldn’t care less what contrarians say
They’re taking away healthcare. AI is stealing jobs. Corporations are allowed to poison food and water again. They’re slashing education. They’re starting endless wars in multiple countries. He’s using our money to build a ballroom. He’s manipulating the market. They’re dividing the country even more with a gerrymandering war. He is taking bribes in broad daylight. And they still haven’t released the full Epstein files. This is objectively the worst and most corrupt administration in history.
Absolute bombshell. Mayor Mamdani defies the establishment by rolling out a staggering 100,000 universal childcare offers across NYC.
He confirms the city is aggressively expanding early education to toddlers. The administration is actively saving families thousands.

You see this and you think "what is he doing? he is operating the jellyfish machine?"
And yes, he is. This is a video of the future, hauntologically summoned from the possible-ether, showing us a vision of what may be to come.
As environments become more bespoke, operating the jellyfish machine becomes a respectable position for the aspiring interface architect. It is a necessary step before they allow you to operate the other machines, a sort of "start in the mailroom" situation.
But make no mistake - some jellyfish machine operators have turned this into a lifelong career, a true passion. The barrier to entry is low but the skill ceiling may never truly be reached.
THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 452,000 KILOMETRES BEHIND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO SPLASH DOWN IN THE EXACT SPOT THEY CALCULATED BEFORE THEY EVER LEFT THE GROUND
THE MATHEMATICS WORKED. THE PHYSICS HELD. THE SILENCE ENDED.
EVERY ENGINEER, MATHEMATICIAN, PHYSICIST, AND PROGRAMMER WHO TOUCHED THIS MISSION IS THE COOLEST PERSON ALIVE AND THEY KNOW IT
WELCOME HOME
as we grow up, the way we love someone is often the way we wished to be loved
you were taught that love is conditional, that you have to perform for it. so now you love unconditionally
you were taught that people leave, that “i’ll never leave you” was always a lie. so now when you say it, you mean it from the bottom of your heart

every time the olympics rolls around and my feed is filled with short-form video of the best performances, it is tough to reconcile the abstract understanding that human excellence takes many forms, with the almost humiliating recognition that the physical ones, of strength or dexterity or precision, are of an entirely different quality. in every other field, i must acquire 'taste', painstakingly, over years of seeing bad stuff and mediocre stuff and stuff that was good but not great, until i finally have built up the architecture of comparison necessary to recognize when something is genuinely extraordinary. but here, recognizing it is congenital. i just know! and that makes everything else seem pathetic in comparison, the whole groaning apparatus of culture revealed as one long negotiation to convince ourselves that something other than this is worth doing
