.@bariweiss Now recently ghoulish.

Annual reminder than NDAs do not have exceptions by default for the one person you have to tell everything.

10 minutes into the full-length jam, everyone is now contented that the side of the record cannot hold much longer.

Feed is about 40% hateful ignorance and 50% cynical manipulation, neither of which I enjoy or will motivate me into those indicated directions. Please reset the training data.

When someone tells you "peace be upon you" in any language, the only correct response is "and also with you". People in that moment must have no disagreement. Take it somewhere else at another time.

No need to get hot about Mamdani as mayor of NYC in any direction. Because New York is a functional state made of divergent people, all ideas old & new will be filtered for good & bad through its mechanisms, then tested by reality.

[Mark Kolmar @mkolmar]

I dislike that content on my feed is primarily hateful in crude, often racial or religious prejudice.

Blocking away the death of Dick Cheney. We have moved on to much newer and more recent, relevant critiques, and even his relatives' critiques. Despite any critiques of his relatives, I feel badly for your loss in the family.

@elonmusk Durable, relatively nearby, appropriately insulated, ventilated, and wire-connectible facilities on Antartica, as much as cooling is the issue?

I'm told the sewer drain grates in NYC are clogged with communist pamphlets and Sabrina Carpenter's hair this year, rather than the normal, seasonal tree leaves.

If you cannot strategically cave without disaster, that is a problem by itself.

[Mark Kolmar @mkolmar]

I bet a majority of independents who disapprove of current governance (U.S.) will punish Democrats in '26 for not stopping it, but not next week. This is why Senate Democrats cannot cave, and why exact strategic communication is crucial.

@elonmusk Press pause for a week. It's not helping ATM.

Faces for radio, voices for print, and barkers' control of the written word. Obviously the ideal video hosts.

Not a story by itself: Candidate for Senator from Maine is "rustic". Iterations of Jolly Roger usually symbolize hardness against death, hazard, and foe, often at sea. Common in apocalyptic folk art, along with lightning bolts. Base on what they do & say.

Can anyone explain why I should remain on this platform? All I see is low-quality complaint merchants targeted by shitstains and high-quality commentary swamped by ghouls.

I'm going to need a bigger tennis ball launcher. For the back yard that's the ticket. And a leaf blower, and a flannel suit that says no one disrupted anything, except you who is not in a flannel suit.

Persons who feel responsible for dust collection in the home should sell boys on the notion of Hulk Smash Dust. I'm too old to fall for the sales pitch, though I do take some satisfaction from the brute-force aspect of the task.

I do not identify as Steam Punk if only because, strictly speaking, my 120yo house is heated with scalding-hot water under pressure. Steam would mean something went tragically wrong. Steam Punk-adjacent, admittedly. Quiet and steady in normal operation.
