Next round's on me
I brought this up at work the other day and my coworker immediately was like "HAM! They were trying to steal my sandwich!" so chalk one up for ham
Seirian SumnerAre wasps feeling the heat this summer? Be kind to wasps at your picnic this summer: share your meal & tell us what they're after. Is it Ham (protein-rich)? or Jam (sugary) @uclnews.bsky.social @theconversation.com @femi-benny.bsky.social @cintiaoi.bsky.social theconversation.com/where-have-a...
[putting on my academic hat] the trash bags smell and attract rats, but they're also part of the erotic biotic infrastructure of the city. i was ferried to an orgy by a rat king the other day. until the dumpsters offer to fist you, count me out

At least this guy's miserable all the time
Alexander ClarksonAnother datapoint for the fascist radicalisation of institutional pillars of much of the American Right
I think it's obviously a true statement and also won't matter literally at all politically, much like how the right attacking biden's kids, walz's kids, harris's stepkids, etc etc etc doesn't matter. And this isn't even attacking the kids it's attacking the dad
Tom NicholsI think it’s a remarkably stupid thing for a political candidate to say. This is not the first time people have pointed out Vance’s hypocrisy on this issue, but to pull his children into it and say that you somehow know what’s in Vance’s mind about his own kids is over the line.
Sounds like another incredibly scandalous grand jury proceeding
Scott MacFarlaneFLASH: Justice Dept seeks to dismiss Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool criminal case against former Olympian David Hearn Trump Admin acknowledges: "Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor"
Well yeah it's just real with white people. Urban white people are pretty evenly divided between the parties and rural white people are like 3:1 republican. The problem is the rurals as a whole are like 80% white
Sarah TaberAlso, as we all know, there are lots of rural areas that don't vote GOP. Coincidentally, they're all the rural areas that aren't majority-white. We do ourselves a real disservice pretending the "rural-urban divide" in politics is real. It ain't. Full stop.
I think if one group of students is using AI to generate the music track and then another group is using AI to generate/redo the animation then you are actually replacing creativity rather than expanding it. Which is fine (or not fine, idk) but just like be honest about it
Dartmouth Arts and SciencesStudents in the Foundations of Digital Design and Music and Artificial Intelligence classes teamed up this spring to make animation set to a music track, using AI to expand creativity rather than replace it.
on every matter of geopolitical importance trump absolutely doesn't give a fuck and will just say "sure, it's really tremendous" to whatever person last materialized in front of him, but with completely trivial shit he'll be like "I WILL KILL AND DIE TO BUILD 30000 MORE PARKING SPACES AT DULLES"
Ron FilipkowskiNo one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.
another L for the folks who are like "actually trump is not an aberration, presidents are always bad"
Murshed Zaheed“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Without addressing the hate mob phenomenon which is self-evidently bad I think we're also running into a philosophical difference where one side is like "does this action solve this problem" and the other is like "is this action morally good"
paul khruangbin (Dan Lehner)if there’s anything I would want to drill into the public consciousness it’s that there are almost always like a dozen ways to approach any given problem and some of them will be more effective than others and we have to stop acting like the questions around it are against fixing the issue
I guess D +4 on cost of living is pretty good but it's crazy that the guy can start a war that drives gas prices up, slap tariffs on everything, run inflation back up to 4%, and say verbatim "I don't think about Americans' financial situation" and people are still like "eh let's hear him out"

Everyone's posting the hot dog guy meme but that's not what he means, he's not like acknowledging that something real & bad has happened, he's saying that questioning him is a threat to democracy because he and the republican court (and the right generally) have legitimacy and we don't
Josh GersteinJUST IN: Justice Neil Gorsuch tells @RonaldReagan civility conference US democracy is 'very fragile' & 'facing some tough times.' 'We are all in it together, and if we don't stay all in it together, it will crumble,' Gorsuch says, urging students to study history 'warts and all'
Is this something they usually do when a MOC dies? I thought they just aired the memorial/funeral
Aaron RuparC-SPAN is replaying historical Lindsey Graham speeches all day today in case someone you know finished last in their fantasy football league and still needs to be punished for it
I think will's right, there's someone in a sports groupchat I'm in who has me blocked who I've never interacted with and I'm like well this makes it hard to understand what people are talking about. Just as an opt-in/opt-out thing it makes sense to me
Will StancilThe nuclear block should be paired with a feature where every month you can send a petition to one person asking to be unblocked. Like there’s one guy on here who has me blocked who I genuinely quite like, have no major disagreements with, and who talks to my friends a lot. It’s really inconvenient!
It's so fucking crazy that we're doing this. Persecuting hundreds of thousands of people here living and working legally because we're captive to mindless racists
Employers Fear Labor Shortage as Many Immigrants Lose Protected StatusA recent Supreme Court ruling cleared the way for the Trump administration to end a humanitarian program that has allowed about one million immigrants to work legally in the U.S.www.nytimes.comGet in losers we're doing "slow the testing down, please" for our battlefield casualties
JamesWhat the fuck kind of shit is this. How desperate to create legal fictions and create PR wins can the administration possibly be that they're going to deny that people KIA and WIA were part of the Iran conflict.
