Yes, double indemnity is where you cannot be arrested unless you’re committing two crimes simultaneously

First crime is free tho

Everyone involved in breaking that marine’s arm should face charges. Every one of them should lose their job.

Letting Fetterman score clean dunks like this is a threat to national security

Tasmanian Nativehen is a silly name, like calling it a “common Averagebird.” But the eyes are unlike anything I’ve seen

Tasmanian Nativehen running across some grass. It has a strikingly red eye and yellow beak

Even the common birds are wild here

Currently traveling in Tasmania and really enjoying the unfamiliar birds and animals. It’s like earth got a DLC where the designers really just had fun with it

Who knew “is this shit working?” was a billion dollar business

EDM futures at an all time high?

same language as on the urinal plaques in the DOD bathrooms

This is a truly insidious decision on Meta’s part. Lots to hate about that company, but engineering this kind of “vampire rules” data collection (interact with the AI and we record every input) workaround, where the UX doesn’t indicate you’re being spied on after opting out is evil

It’s in the article, but it’s perhaps understated. Imagine that every time you use a voice assistant, every camera on your phone began recording and that video was transmitted for annotation

Compliance issues are real, but there’s no way users understand that voice interaction triggers the cameras

When the arsonist is sad that it was not he who got to start the fire.

Presumably the full quote is, “It's going to uncork a significant can of worms and chaos and destruction in Iran now /from which I cannot currently profit. So that’s a bummer./“

aka “seasels”

Classic roadkill cut-offs non-denial

The guy who brings a whole gaming rig into the Dunkin’ Donuts?

I think we can learn what works and what doesn’t from any candidate, even the ones I wouldn’t support, but the man has all the ingredients of a Fetterman. The confidence he wouldn’t be one seems out of step with your normally very thoughtful takes

Had an Econ professor whose refrain of “over what period of time?” has never left my mind. Whether it’s business, politics, war, or just being alive, the time horizon for evaluating outcomes only seems to trend toward instantaneous.

If we don’t call it “Shah II” and instead call it a reboot, the SEO optimization will take care of that pesky history.

So we are going to get a Southland Tales episode?

It was clearly a hassle, but I did see this play out yesterday at PHL

He saw the video of Patel and got jealous

Good things are still possible, it seems

I laughed out loud at least once per episode. I love a lot of shows for which that can’t be said. It’s worth your time and seems like it’ll reward repeated viewings

Done. 👍👍
Please make more.

2025: we have to get rid of large numbers of government employees because the standards were lowered for them

2026: we're lowering the standard for government employees

What the fuck

And in PA, we do show ID to vote. The first time you vote at your polling place, you bring ID. You‘re then not asked for it again, because we know the voter roll is correct for you. Changing that offers no additional assurance. It only plays into a disenfranchisement campaign. Fetterman is an idiot.

Define the scenario. If you are worried about something, articulate it. Idle speculation about a vague threat serves no purpose but misinformation.
