Maybe it’s not exactly shooting a dog, but David Plouffe sure isn’t doing his career much good by teaming up with Kellyanne Conway. What the hell was he thinking?

So, Stormy Daniels trained as an Equestian. I wonder if playing horsie with Trump led to that.

@mmasnick Could there be more method to this madness than it appears? Could Jack and Elon be planning a Twitter/NOSTR venture to compete with the emerging Threads/Fediverse ecosystem?

@mmasnick Since you have some personal experience with him, can you theorize just why he might expose whatever brand he still has to the kind of negative attention any kind of alliance or kinship with Elon would bring? There has to be some motivation for taking on that kind of taint on purpose.

@mmasnick I mean, other than a really scary theory that @davetroy might suggest ;)

Were only it televised, I bet Trump’s trial would get bigger ratings than the Apprentice ever did.

I’m afraid to look at the headlines. How bad is everything?

Good afternoon. Is it dangerous to mention that you’re an American when traveling abroad lately? I’m getting nervous. But then, as a Jew, I’m nervous about traveling to the grocery store these days.

What happens when the AI bots can chat on Threads, Xitter, Insta, Bluesky, and AARP.com, just like any other opinionated dipshit on the Internet? Is anyone seriously considering the downstream ramifactions of that? Besides Nilay Patel? You can be certain that Vladamir Putin has.

Republicans always remind me of Billy Joel’s most salient maxim: “only the good die young.”

These other doughy-white lawyers, car dealers, and pest control edge lords that dominate our congress, on the other hand, seem like they will live forever. It’s just not fair.

@kingbeauregard Hitler offed himself. Dosn't count.

It’s entirely possible that the biggest problem with social media is that it kinda sucks. At least back in the Internet stone age (AOL), people still went outside and did stuff.

I’m old enough to remember when aspiring journalists wanted to work for the @nytimes.

This afternoon, I had a lovely conversation with a saleswoman in the midwest about the Shore A durometer range of certain thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). As you might imagine, it got quite erotic.

Patience. They’re still sorting through their complicity in electing Trump in 2016.

Is "fast fashion" just way the mass market apparel industry works now? Any chance it will fade away?

shoq,
@shoq@mastodon.social avatar

@mikey No kidding. Fast Fashion is way beyond that. It’s more like fashion-crack than apparel. And the dealers are even worse than the Sandler family was when pushing oxy.

@lakelady I can’t speak for @galad, but in my view, the evidence is in the fact that 100% of their very public ire and rhetoric is aimed at the US and Israel, rather than the biggest obstacle to ending the violence: Hamas. I have not yet seen a single exception. It may exist, but I haven’t seen it.

@shoq@mastodon.social avatar

@lakelady @galad There is no cohesive message. All of the demands are impossible for the US to force Israel to comply with. They like but don't need our weapons badly enough to alter their path. Israeli's I've spoken with are reluctantly resigned to even a failed effort to crush Hamas.
