The greatest romcom ever made. The greatest declaration of love ever made on screen (ok maybe that’s in The Empire Strikes Back or maybe it’s in The Princess Bride). I don’t know. I know that this is how it’s supposed to be. Goddammit.

@stephenjacobsmith.com I listened to your podcast episode on elevators with @shanedphillips.bsky.social and it was great. Very clear and informative. Also made me angry about what we can’t have in the JS.

Consultants contracted by Minnesota found that an eight-story single-stair building with 6,000 sq. ft. per floor (building 4) has dramatically lower fire risk than a same-height code-compliant two-stair building with a larger floor plate (building 1) www.dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...

I’m sure one can make a case for retaining @foushee.house.gov as our congressional representative. This op-ed’s arguments—she has seniority (3 years!), co-sponsored bills (that have no chance of passing), and gave up her salary during the shutdown (like many other reps)—ain’t that.

Fantastic that Microsoft Word now forces a floating Copilot icon over the document that I'm trying to write, and there's no way to get rid of it with a business license.

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.
1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

Good morning to fuckers in our neighborhood kidnapping our neighbors! Can you see the city skyline? No? You’re wondering if Minneapolis burned down again overnight? Oh no, sweetie. That’s ice crystals in the air . It looks like it will get to around -8F without windchill! Please enjoy your stay!

You know where they make and sell station wagons? Europe! And they are pretty fuel efficient.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

@patrickgeorge.bsky.social I have a Hyundai CCS to supercharger adapter and an A2Z CCS to Tesla destination charger adapter. I just keep them in my trunk within the packaging they were shipped in, so they don’t get into nooks and crannies, and fit in with the bags and other crap I keep in the trunk.
