I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.
This ⬇️ Few people know 230 as well as Mike
Democracy is burning, and we need sites like Bluesky more than ever. And Senator Durbin wants to repeal 230, which would massively stifle the ability of sites like Bluesky to exist, while massively empowering X and Meta. Why? It seems that someone in his office doesn't understand 230.
To the couple at tonight’s University of Indiana screening of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE who were both seeing it for the first time and who were on a date — I love both of you and hope you go the distance.
In high school, I spent a lot of time in Detention. A teacher proctering we miscreants used to describe New Yorker cartoons and ask us to supply the captions. The NYer currently now has such a contest. I think it's even more fun to look at the cover and think up what the title might be.
This is performative nonsense of “hardcore” tech nincompoops. They could put people in nearby hotels or Airbnbs for a lot less. It’s all cosplaying intense workaholism for the cheap seats and all for PR. Sleeping bags at work is simply dumb www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

People don’t ask each other what’s crack-a-lackin like they used to

I try not to criticize anybody who broadcasts live -- there's a reason I don't do it -- but of course there never was any such thing as an "EV Mandate."
Rep. Lisa McClain on CNN next to a ticker showing the stock market tanking for the third day this week: "It is going to take some unconventional methods to get us out of the mess we've been in the past four years with the EV mandates, with unfair trade. This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone."
I will absolutely be voting against Durbin in the primary at this point.
It’s time to repeal Section 230. We must be able to take social media companies to court for addicting kids and enabling drug trafficking on their platforms.
Andrew Cuomo kicked his 30-year-old daughter out of her Manhattan apt so he could claim NYC residency. Here's how she spun it at his campaign launch: “ As a person who just spent several months looking for a new apartment, I can tell you there's not enough affordable housing."
We will be releasing some more tickets to my special taping in Chicago very soon. Likely today or tomorrow. I will post as soon as they go online. There will be a significant number; couple of hundred at the very least. The taping is on March 15th btw.
I call him Elon Tusk because both his personal and professional life are seemingly as chaotic as the members of Fleetwood Mac’s were during the recording of their studio album “Tusk”
If you cut out some of the monkey stock footage, the 3 current White Lotus S3 episodes could be edited into the opening 10 mins of a pretty decent 1-hour drama.
S&P down 1% despite headlines about further pausing some tariffs
