Appreciate the β€œMedian Millennial” festival lineup, but unless they allow chairs it’s not really millennial-accessible.

anyway there's no reason to be on substack

you can leave the nazi bar any time

you aren't making the nazi bar less nazi by hanging out with the nazis

the nazis just think it's cute you're buying their drinks

and you're doing a grave disservice to the readers who don't yet know the difference

There are at least 10,000 Amcits in Qatar alone, and the US government is saying we are on our own

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Pretty wild that the same thing that causes someone to be allergic to wearing a mask also seems to make those same people allergic to using Zoom

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

I dunno, I don’t think you can say you β€œdeserve to be safe” at all times while also exploiting the most dumbass example of β€œviolence” to elicit sympathy for a bunch of crybaby cops. Which is itβ€”are you super tough operator guys, or do you need the mayor to intervene in a snowball fight?

These people unambiguously loathe humanity and would welcome our collective obliteration.

Today I conducted an oversight visit at the Whipple building. We were required to give 7 days notice. When we arrived, ICE had moved every detainee out of the facility. They don’t want us to see what’s really going on here. I won't stop pushing to hold ICE accountable. Minnesotans deserve answers.

let's have a spirited international sporting event focused on "purging the billionaires and the fascists and salting the defiled earth from whence they sprang" - we can give out fun prizes

I am 39 years old and basically never have to show ID to buy alcohol.
And if I did, I sure as hell wouldn’t need to show my passport.

The SAVE Act isn’t just asking for ID, it’s demanding proof of citizenship that is costly to obtain. It is a poll tax by another name, and should be treated as such

I wrote an article on my website saying that hot dog eating is a surprisingly common pastime for tech journalists. I ranked myself number one, obviously

One day later, ChatGPT, Gemini and the AI Overviews in Google Search were telling the world about my talents But this isn’t just about hot dogs

Yeah we should never do anything at all about anything whatsoever because bad people exist and do bad things.

There must be trials. Not as an emotive aspiration, rhetorical meme, or empty threat. A concrete plan. A dedicated special court for it. Structural legislation and prosecutors and funding and all the rest of it. Everything necessary for it can be done constitutionally. All it takes is the will.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!
