With the lawns involved, all I could think is that Geoffs are Garts, Jeffs are Jarts, and all of the above are banned.

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life.

I was thinking about this exact thing this week. That console is so stupid. I want to meet the people responsible and just bully them with "what the fuck were you thinking?" until they cry for their mommies.

I honestly cannot believe the whole center console on cars thing isn’t illegal and stigmatized. The messages, the alerts, the notifications — it’s all absolutely, positively dangerous and unnecessary.

i love that my car flashes a message to keep my eyes on the road on a screen in the center console that i have to dismiss

"sorry officer, i didn't see that pedestrian there. my car was yelling at me to keep my eyes on the road"

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Bad apples?

Gotdamn idiot reporters don't even know their own language.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

I'm in my late 50s, and I can't remember a time when Republicans haven't been rancid bigots.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 10h

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

White people’s insistence that other white people—especially the ones exhibiting morally questionable behavior—deserve the benefit of the doubt is going to kill us all.
