@tonyapc42 @xwanyex Ah ok. Real politics is when you pardon convicted fraudsters who invest in your family’s memecoins. I respect the honesty of the grift.

@neoavatara To quote the man himself, “You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in.”

Just realized that the @xwanyex discourse of “maybe women shouldn’t vote?” is just this:

“Here I am, blue sky thinking amongst friends, and I didn’t realize it’s just coldhearted pragmatism that’s keeping you from pumping gas into Lidl”

@matthewstoller Oh man if only there had been a US president who treated Iran like a normal country and managed to make a peace deal without first starting a pointless war. I bet you’d say real nice things about that guy!

@InterspeciesFa1 @Godel_number @xwanyex That's an argument about negative aspects of a world in which we have universal suffrage, not an actual argument for restricting it. If he thinks that society would have fewer problems overall if women couldn't vote, he's welcome to do so, but he hasn't even argued that.

@TheStalwart You could have been called out by name in the alt-text of this (incredibly) relevant XKCD:

@mattyglesias How’s this for a metaphor; Trump bought $5 million in chips at the casino, lost $4 million, and is going home saying he won a million dollars. It was obviously correct for him to give up but just as obviously a massive net loss.

@KySportsRadio @FormerlyCBM We promote US vacations to pregnant European soccer fans

I’m hearing that Fable created the USMNT’s first-half game plan. If true, I support Trump’s ban: this technology is simply too powerful to let our World Cup opponents have access.

@mattyglesias We'd have an abundance of human-derived protein!

@agraybee My main reaction to this is that Jeremy Strong doesn't really resemble Mark Zuckerberg at all and I feel like I'd be distracted about that the whole time.

@ramez Why would they not use this energy to charge up astrophage? Are they stupid?

[Owen Barron @ocbarron]

@SaddamTransfem @nikicaga Now we’re making up two people to get mad at! Who said labor productivity growth had stagnated?

[Owen Barron @ocbarron]

@mtkonczal @TheStalwart @max_spero_ Thank you for this important info. I feel like we need a DadBench for these crossmodel comparisons. My question is can you even run Fable meaningfully on the $20 plan or do you run out of quota instantly?

@neoavatara What efforts did Spencer Pratt make to appeal to a majority of LA voters? This is like the inverse of “why can’t Democrats win Texas”, you have to actually learn about your voters’ priorities and speak to them!

@ryxcommar @MattZeitlin @schadenfraade I’ve heard if you go to Hot Suppa for brunch and get the chicken and waffle, the locals will recognize you as a real one and give your their most authentic Mainer takes on the Senate race.

@robinsonmeyer It’s over when they learn about this tattoo

@ModeledBehavior I was so ready to prove you wrong and show a screenshot of the Vibe Search feature that I assumed Airbnb already had. You’re right, it’s a big missed opportunity. You should be able to save some instructions as your “Vibe” in Airbnb and have them act like Claude.md

@ag421337 @micsolana @Jesse_Leg I’m always grateful when people tell me that as a YIMBY I just want to deregulate, because it reminds me that there aren’t different levels of regulation for different issues. There’s just one, it’s a big slider on the wall and it just goes up or down.
