Social media is to blame. Dems will under perform in 26 if the national conversation is socialism, immigration, and trans. Dems will over perform if we're talking about Epstein, corruption, war, inflation, Israel, and Trump's health. Don’t love this.
The White Sox are over .500 and in second place. Thank god. They were the worst team ever statistically speaking a couple years ago. Complete implosion after an ambitious rebuild fell apart completely.
Lou Reed and his trans girlfriend/partner Rachel Humphreys. The two were together for about five years in the 1970s. Reed's song Coney Island Baby makes reference to her. You can imagine both of them had to put up with a lot of bigotry.
And here we have the comment section from a Daily Mirror story about the Hantavirus outbreak. Complete idiots or grifters? We've got a couple covid was gov't conspiracy posts, and a viruses don't exist & germ theory is incorrect banger. The world was not ready for social media. Also see Trump
Anyone remember Mold-a-Rama? Up until yesterday I thought these were at basically every zoo and museum. Turns out they're only to be found in six locations in the world (three happen to be in Chicago)! The machines are from the 60's, and still operational. www.mold-a-rama.com
I've got a crazy theory that Trump's weird hair is like some magical talisman or something, like Samson's hair in the bible. As he loses it, he loses his hypnotic power over people. His hair shit hair is his strength.
The epitome of virile aryan masculinity himself, I give you Marc Andreessen.
This is the only shooting brake I can even partially get behind. Lamborghini 400GT Flying Star II.
The flying boot? I think they're called? maybe flying wedge? Anyway, I know they have their fans, but I don't get them. Here's the new Cadillac Celestiq that's sort of similar.
Kind of want to travel the first highway across America, the Lincoln Highway. Maybe on motorcycle.
But is that a real superpower? Does his size and strength have any explanation. From the show I know he was a fairly normal army brat as a kid, and learned to fight bullies. Here's him before Reacher. I wouldn't be surprised if PEDs may be his IRL super power.
I have four words muted because content about them bores me to death....which did you use? Bluesky, Bari, Luigi, or Mangione?
This one looks like a banger. Haven't read it myself, but I may.
Drudge is far better than it was a decade ago, but it's still insane. Here they're turning the internet on some guy acting weird after witnessing an assassination. Yeah, it's strange and offensive, but it's quite knowingly trying to ruin this guy over an odd reaction to a crazy situation.
Squircles and yokes. For really cramped racing cars it can make sense to have a flattened steering wheel to allow legs to get in and out easier--makes sense. For everyone else, the steering wheel is a solved problem/optimal solution. Circular works better. Stop it. 4/4
And while we're on the subject of aerodynamics, the trend where every car has to have crazy diffusers sticking out the back is another dumb trend. I'm sure it helps somewhat, but now they all do it, and it looks silly. 3/x
1. Everything is now a limited special edition. The super rich will pay even more if their car is somehow more special. Take Bugatti. They only make 75-80 cars a year, anyway, but some have money to burn and want even more exclusivity. So now you can't even keep track with all of them. 1/x
The alt-right pseudo-academic aesthetic is really something. It's master is Dr. Gorka, obv.
Fascism/authoritarianism has traditionally been pro-patriarchy, and dominated by male insecurity.
But can you do as many push ups as this swole 71 year old ? i0.wp.com/washingtonmo...
Seeing some butt related content in my feed reminds me to make a PSA. You need to get yourself a bidet seat. I made the switch recently, and don't know why I waited. If you have an outlet near your toilet it's like a 5 minute install, and your butt will never be cleaner. They're under 400 USD.
AGI-race. Meta's rival to OpenAI's Stargate datacenters. These "Titan-clusters" are gigawatt to multi-gigawatt. One, Hyperion is set to be the size of Manhattan built in Louisiana. Trillions of dollars. The first, Hyperion, online set year 1 gigawatt (Ohio). www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...
Here are some photos of the Phoenix HD Radar units that can be found in current Model X and Model S cars. Apparently Phoenix dates to at least 2020, and FCC docs are no longer confidential. Just curious if and when they roll it out. Would be great press, but perhaps a blow to Musk's ego.
