@jaybeans.bsky.social and I were trying to remember the last time we had a new sexy guy. Not a symmetrical guy like Glen Powell, a sexy guy.
I thought maybe Barry Keoghan?

“The only thing you need to know about Olivia Nuzzi is that she used her position of power, as a journalist, to advise and elevate the world’s most prominent anti-vaccine activist to the most influential health position in the United States.”
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

I gather there was pie discourse?
I've rarely had pie I wouldn't have preferred as the filling spooned over ice cream. Pie crust, even crafted by great artists of the medium, is the most overrated pastry item.

It’s global apartheid, a pyramid scheme, and landlord economics all rolled into one
and it makes people lazier, less educated, and less talented, which is exactly the type of population these oligarchs need to seize and maintain control
But at least we get cool profile pictures out of it, right?

The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI:
It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that

This headline is going around and the thing that is really bothering me is that buying a single item and then using it and NOT collecting more items is literally the opposite of hoarding.

Our neighbors to our north are building more homes at one of their BART stations! Looking forward to North Berkeley BART housing breaking ground soon as well.
I’ve never been so excited to see fencing!
Construction is beginning on El Cerrito Plaza BART TOD, replacing parking with 743 homes and hopefully a new library.
The first building will be 100% affordable with 70 homes.
I’ve been working on this project for nearly a decade and couldn’t be happier.

I believe a thread dedicated to strongwomen will be appreciated
Katie Sandwina or Brumbach (1884 – 1952) was an Austrian American circus strongwoman.
In 1902 she defeated the famous strongman Eugen Sandow in a weightlifting contest in New York City.

The PPACA, for all its flaws, absolutely transformed American health insurance for the better. The only way to make it better is to provide a public option, but that’s only on the GOP agenda if Mamdani gets another Oval Office visit while Trump has that bill on his desk.
NEW: Donald Trump says he wants ACA funds to end after 2025
“I’d rather not" extend them, he tells reporters on AF1. "I don’t want to extend them for two years. I’d rather not extend them at all."
He wants cash to go "directly" to people. Unclear how that'd work.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
