JUST IN: Baltimore bakery truck struck by a United Airlines plane coming in for a landing at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.
According to local reports, the plane was a United Airlines Boeing 767-400.
Senior vice president of Transportation & Logistics at H&S Bakery, Chuck Paterakis, says the driver was headed from Baltimore to New Jersey when he was hit.
The driver suffered minor injuries, according to Fox Baltimore.
"Our maintenance team is evaluating damage to the aircraft and we will investigate how this occurred," a United spokesperson said.

@TylerAlterman I talked my best friend into watching “the first episode” and didn’t warn him first. 45 minutes in we paused it and he stared with disbelief at the time bar. “This is 3 hours long??!”

btw if u watch it, please be aware there's a 3hr movie intro to it that is incredible. I didn't know this when I started watching the first time

2004's Battlestar Galactica is a remarkable work of art, and possibly the most human sci-fi ever made. I've been rewatching it and tearing up multiple times per episode

My dad: “Do you know where the whole idea of Friday the 13th being bad luck comes from?”
Me: “You mean before the movie got made?”
Dad: “What movie?”

@Wombats4eva @LPDonovan @ReubenR80027912 Correct! He was basically the most Religious Right candidate in 2012.

@CakeOrDeath111 @LPDonovan @ReubenR80027912 Prudish about sex? Santorum was a big opponent of gay marriage and any lgbt rights. Beyond gay marriage, he was suggesting reviving sodomy laws.

There was no RW in 2012; sweater vested Rick Santorum was utterly destroyed by Ds/media for giving a proto-Trump-but-Christian pitch

I’ll never understand why libs went after normie Republicans so hard (eg Romney in 2012, the SPLC going after milquetoast pro life groups, etc.). Libs had a defanged, captured opposition who were happy going 60mph in the same direction the Left was heading towards at 90 mph and who just wanted things to be a little more ‘free market.’ Libs should have buttressed Chamber-of-Commerce Republicans. That they didn’t and instead tried to anathematize them was a generational political error.

@woke8yearold @Romy_Holland Which is why the 2nd and 3rd generation Marxists had to grapple with and explain why it hadn’t happened, giving us all the spin-offs like Marcuse
English
@Romy_Holland It comes from Marxism in the proper sense. Marx believed that history followed a clear direction due to material forces and that capitalism naturally destroys itself due to the internal logic of capital. Overdosed on Hegel

@chrisfrazier0 @ClickingSeason But who wants to say the words "generative pre-trained transformer?" It's cumberso- ahhh that's why they abbreviated it into GPT ahhh okay nice nice
English
@ClickingSeason Its an excellent name though. It’s a service where you chat with a generative pre-trained transformer. I can’t think of anything more apt
English
“ChatGPT” is such an unforced branding error. Nobody likes saying “ChatGPT told me thus and such”

@SeanTrende @jbarro I appreciated all the Idaho politics talk though, due to Ben's comments

On a recent podcast, I stated that Newsom lost 20 districts on the current CA map. I have no idea where on Earth I got that number from. While I don't think this is a 48-4 map for the whole cycle, 20 isn't close to correct, and I genuinely apologize to my hosts. @jbarro @asymmetricinfo @bendreyfuss

I'm totally mesmerized by these guys, probably because I have so much in common with them
English
@LPDonovan @ReubenR80027912 There was a segment of the Left that was utterly obsessed with Santorum, I think because he was all that was left of the Religious Right and they wanted to ride out the "haha you are prudish about sexual stuff" line like it was still 2004.
English
@ReubenR80027912 Santorum was so thoroughly nuked by then state of the art SEO fuckery that we don't even dare talk about it

@asymmetricinfo Okay but is it a work of genius architectural design?? Is it Of The Times?? Is it Au Courant???

@EsotericCD @X @nikitabier @Support The hacker hasn't posted anything from the account, guessing they are just sending DMs

@CakeOrDeath111 @X @nikitabier @Support I wouldn't buy a MacBook Pro from him right now, is all I'm saying.

Attention @X / @nikitabier / whoever runs the X help desk: My colleague Dan McLaughlin has had his X account (@baseballcrank) phished out from under him, and is now locked out of his account. This is the person who did it, per his records:
Anyway, assistance would be greatly appreciated
English
@EsotericCD @X @nikitabier @Support Is Dan about to pitch us a crypto opportunity that is simply too good to miss out on??
English
@X @nikitabier UPDATE: Whoever hacked Dan's account has now blocked me, presumably for raising the alarm. Please, @support, help my friend out.

i’m in a cafe that has a fridge for drinks. the door is ajar. it shouldn’t be — the drinks will get warm.
it seems obvious. well-intentioned, i close the fridge door.
the fridge it begins making an ominous noise, whirring loudly. the drinks bottles begin shaking. the glass clinks. it becomes apparent to me that i was in error and something is awry.
a barista rounds the counter, goes to the fridge, and slightly opens the door. the fridge stops shaking. order restored

@PulpLibrarian @relish_hendy And he was a proper gentleman in his apology

@relish_hendy At least he didn't make something up, like AI does. Mark of a professional.

@Exothaumic @PstafarianPrice As soon as the main character approaches they will start moving and if he talks to them they will give him a side quest

@PstafarianPrice I’m guessing they’re all NPCs and the drug is messing with their script.

I don't use drugs why are they standing up. Wouldn't it be cozier to curl up and enjoy their drugs. Why are they standing frozen like zombies in a paused video game.
