if my position is “we need sensible immigration policy and a path to citizenship for the undocumented,” and your position is “we need to yank unsuspecting abuelitas out of their cars at Ralphs and deport them to, I dunno, Tajikistan,” then no, I won’t be “meeting you in the middle”

It's kind of like how anti-anti-Trumpers never do the heavy lifting of coming up with an affirmative defense for Trump's BS, they just bash the people who criticize him as woke or socialist or whatever

it took four days after Jerry Sandusky’s arrest for Penn State to 86 Paterno’s contract. it took less than 24 hours after the Northwestern loss for them to fire James Franklin. Penn State clearly considers losing to Northwestern worse than covering up child rape

So thankful that dudes without game now have the option of driving all of our energy bills up to come up with devastating lines like it was nice to meet you

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

kirby wasn’t calling timeout, he was telling freeze “i’m not touching you, i’m not touching you”

if that game brought him closer to being fired, I think the words auburn is really looking for are “thank you”

Sir O.D. Bastard, OBE @captainannoying.bsky.social · 1d

that game was like when you have a second grader playing recorder in the school recital and you don’t really want to be there because every note is fucking torture but at the end you’re like GREAT JOB HONEY YOU WERE SO GOOD

if this goes unchecked, by 2032 we’re going to see a headline in the NYT reading “In G.O.P. Circles, Growing Enthusiasm for a Petrino/Freeze Ticket”

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Mr. Benioff spoke as his annual Dreamforce conference is set to begin Tuesday in downtown San Francisco, bringing 50,000 visitors to the city. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the benefits of "agentic enterprise," a business model in which humans and artificial intelligence bots work together.
Speaking by telephone from his private plane en route to San Francisco, he lamented that he has to pay for nundreds of off-duty law enforcement officers to help patrol the convention area and said that San Francisco needed to "re-fund" the police.
The city never actually "defunded" its police force, and San Francisco's violent crime rates are below those in many other U.S. cities.
But San Francisco has struggled to recruit and keep officers, and it still has problems with lower-level crimes and open-air drug use, especially in neighborhoods like the Tenderloin near City Hall. It has about 1,500 police officers, and Mr. Benioff says it ne → another thousand.
