Fucking Byron's redesigned their website with a bunch of AI dogshit for food. BYRON'S. Even Byron's weird ass philosophy* on toppings doesn't have carrots and a whole leaf of lettuce. *if you say "everything" they will just go down the line. Shredded lettuce, bell peppers, everything.

AI slop image of food. There's a weird hot dog on a sort of hamburger bun with carrots, tomatoes and a full leaf of lettuce. There are two different kinds of popcorn, which Byron's doesn't have. The chicken patty looking things have an undercooked section running through it.

I’ve done marketing for news for almost 30 damn years. Treating your potential customers like they are dipshits is terrible strategy, ESPECIALLY when they read the news!

A Washington Post Reddit ad for $40 for a year subscription (regular $140). The title reads “For the Facts. For the People. For Less than you think”

These shitheads just laid off a bunch of people.

This old @edsbs.bsky.social tweet immediately lit up in my brain

Again, follow your dreams, because unqualified idiots are paid to do things they shouldn’t be doing every day, why not you ~ Buffalo Chill Cody (@edsbs)

Ugh. I walk by this corner several times a week. Even knowing what is going on there are little ways it gets sadder and more angering every day.

In my years of city living I’ve seen all variety of empties littering sidewalks and parks and such, but this was a first:

Hell yeah new bike lane on Clark.

Spotted out and about in Chicago.

lol fuck you

Screenshot that says:
"During the rebrand, you said you weren’t changing prices. What changed?
We wanted to give you stability during our rebrand transition—no one needs two big changes at once. So we didn't raise prices during our rebrand. Now that we're settled into being Kit, it's time to align our pricing with the value we deliver. After 12 years of the same prices and massive platform growth, this reflects what we've built together to help creators continue to thrive and evolve."

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about. This one is a long distance dedication to @surlyurbanist.bsky.social

You don't understand humility until you've watched a dude who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis drop flat-footed bank shots on you.

I must have been about 18 years old, my dad's 40+ pick up game needed an extra guy so I tagged along.

The dude I was covering had to be 60 fucking years old. Wearing fucking Converse Weapons, Umbro soccer shorts, and a Looney Tunes t-shirt

And he fucking ruined my life. I went home and never wanted to play basketball ever again. His shots were banking off my fucking soul.

When your white dad turns 40, the federal government sends him a pair of NBs, a geometry book, a Kevin McHale DVD and the rest is up to him.

That 60 y.o. dude was yelling out names of dudes I hadn't even heard of. He yelled out "Bob Pettit" before nailing a baseline jumper

I had to go home and get my Basketball Almanac to find out who it was cuz we didn't even have Google back then. I felt so disrespected.

I just called my dad to ask for more details about this dude and he said he still plays and is nearly 75 years old. And still very very good

Apparently he played at Holy Cross and in the Navy. That man haunts my fucking dreams.

Bought a 1980s Banana Republic photographer vest on eBay. It has a window for credentials. So I put a David Robinson Skybox card in it.

Post your Lock Screen. This is like the 3rd phone I’ve kept this same photo for. I don’t even remember what the last background was.

Little Richard standing with his arms out in a Y. His jumpsuit is made up of white sleeves, a white belt and long tassels that extend from his upper chest to mid-thigh. His bouffant hairdo is taller than his face.

Ned Beatty as Otis in Superman (1978). He's wearing a grey suit, straw boater hat and a yellow tie with a knot the size of a grapefruit and a blade that is about 5 inches long, terribly short.

Cory Brown@localmustard· Jul 24

What in the Merrill Hoge? Did he learn how to tie a tie from 2010s-era NFL pre-game shows?

Eric Adams in a navy suit with a white shirt and reddish-burgundy pattern tie. The knot is too big, so the blade of the tie ends a full 4 inches above his belt buckle where it should.

JFC I love @404media.co and hate everything all at the same time. www.404media.co/lebron-james...

I've seen Redditors starting newsletters with more sense than this.

I asked Ouimette if, from AJP’s perspective, the Landing’s proposed pace of scaling up and spending was a strategic mistake. He said no: “The size and complexity of the Greater Houston area’s population and the strength of its philanthropic and business sectors validate both the need for and viability of strong nonprofit local news serving Houstonians.”
