Just give the trophy to both teams and let them share it. Some of us are exhausted from the drama.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

I guess it would be really awkward if CBS promoted Late Night with Stephen #Colbert as the "Winner of 2025 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Talk Series" now.

I get why techbros and their ilk like gen-AI: artists and writers to them are just an obstacle to be bypassed. But I'll never get an author/artist/musician who uses it. "I want to be a writer." No you don't. You fetishize ideas but hate the work. You don't respect the craft or its practitioners.

Who needs the NOAA when you have Trump's magic sharpie? Where's the next hurricane going? Who knows? Let's see where agent Krasnov draws it on his map!
I spoke with a hurricane modeler who was just fired from the branch of NOAA that keeps weather models running. He got a form letter like hundreds of others telling him he was losing his job in an hour. This bodes very poorly for American forecasting. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...
The Forecast for the Weather Service Is Bad
Layoffs at NOAA will only make weather reports less reliable.

Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection."

Not to mention set a precedent that Trump can overrule US federal laws with an executive order.
to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

The other insanity is that the media can't seem to report on this credibility either.
The real headline should be "TikTok colludes with service providers, violates US federal law"

TikTok is 100% violating federal law by coming back online today. Trump cannot legally push back the ban’s effective date … and he isn’t even president yet! The company is taking a HUGE gamble that could trigger ruinous financial penalties.
