things have never been worse in America, of course, but any time I check in on the UK these days I feel like I've been huffing glue

I cannot find the words for how insultingly stupid this is. Stig Abell thinks "postmodernism" made people "question all authority" starting 20 years ago.

An absolutely astonishing account of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in the @latimes
They called 62-year-old Ahmad Turmus and asked: “Ahmad, you want to die with those around you or alone?” His response, below, is chilling.

@roryisconfused for me it didn’t quite track-dialogue felt weird and the concept/premise seemed like it was in the wrong part of the political system. but I had seen and loved the thick of it

American pals who watch Veep: could you sorta tell that the first 4 seasons had an exclusively British writing team or did it all just seem authentically American?

@cd_hooks @Lux_Stella_ I mean it is twitter. being snotty is kind of the whole thing.
I also don't think you can cleanly take what Texas did and apply it to a jurisdiction like Vancouver.
I am sure there will be tax breaks in some form but these projects have to be weighed for their overall benefit

US data center freakout really is a "my steak too juicy, lobster too buttery etc" problem
the things convert capital and electricity directly into property taxes

one funny thing in politics is that you can get a reputation as a technocrat if you're fluent in whitepapers

@MTe005 @Lux_Stella_ one example of how this works, but only a small part of it. next time try not being so snitty about something you can google texastribune.org/2026/04/08/tex…

@cd_hooks @Lux_Stella_ Can you provide a source for this claim ? Or did you just make it up?

Third Way's anti-Hasan push probably the biggest backfire of the cycle for Dems, right?
It's an attention economy; that was the cue to say "pay attention to Abdul," who confidently grabbed the attention to say things liberals like and agree with.

I can't believe this primary is still three months away.

never watched a single second of euphoria, no idea if it’s good or not, but if you watch it, my advice to you is to find Jesus

Trump's disapproval rating on the economy has hit a whopping 70% in the new @cnn poll.
It never even reached 50% in his first term.

Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.

@Philip_DT I respect that you’re digging on this but you’re simply incorrect. absolutely 100% wrong. cheers, though. I raise a glass.

@cd_hooks I go to a lot of bars, definitely more than I should, and I almost never (outside of hotel and airport bars) see people just sitting at the bar talking to staff who aren't clearly outside friends.

@cd_hooks Most people at most bars arent even sitting at the bar. They're at tables. Being waited on. I went to a very fun bar last week with some friends. I think there were 6 people at the bar (full capacity), 3 couples talking to each other, and 15 or so tables ordering from servers.

The Robot bar tender is dumb but so are all the replies being like, this thing won’t comp you a beer after lending a sympathetic ear as you drown your sorrows and lament your wife leaving you.
are bars something you people learned about from movies?

Congrats on your $20 minimum wage. Meet Optimus

@Philip_DT That’s simply wrong, though. We should all be careful not to universalize our own experiences!

@cd_hooks All 3 of the people whose faces I censored in this tweet from February are friends of mine, one a very close friend.
The point of my original tweet is people don't go to bars for human relationships with bartenders.

You can just go socialize IRL at 10:30 on a Tuesday. I promise it’s still legal.
English
@Philip_DT Not trying to be mean but it’s just really easy to cultivate human relationships with bartenders and I strongly recommend trying to do so if/when the opportunity presents itself. not only because they will comp you but also that
