@mastaprincess @HistoryBoomer 100% the best way to drink imho, but I am old.
English
@HistoryBoomer are we the only people at home drinking on the couch lol what is happening
English
Some of this disconnect may be liquor. If you’re a person who needs to hit an upscale bar with friends and buy three drinks, yeah, that’ll raise your bills pretty fast.
I’m a frugal guy. Besides books and travel, I don’t spend much. I’m a rare drinker.

What planet do these people live on? You don’t need 150k in NYC! I’m a single dude and I make appreciably less than 150k and I live pretty comfortably. I go out to eat. I take trips abroad. And I save money for my retirement. What fricking studies are you looking at???
English
@BCityEnjoyer @HistoryBoomer The post was about being single and needing 150k. Kids are a different story. Although- I live in a bugger city that NYC (Osaka Japan) and I am married with a teenager and we make far less than 150k USD (as does almost everyone I know) and we are fine.
English
@HistoryBoomer its the ability to have and support children. Not going to the bar lol.

@TheIrishTerror @Gooldfinger @dieworkwear Please stop responding to idiot homophobia with more idiot homophobia (i.e., "oh yeah, well YOU'RE gay!")
English
@Gooldfinger @dieworkwear Try to stop thinking about your hidden sexual urges bro.

@doodlestein @mattshumer_ @iamjohnoliver Gross. I hate that John Oliver has become Fox News for millennial leftists.
English
@mattshumer_ @iamjohnoliver I’m sure his audience gleefully lapped this up since it confirms their existing biases and hatred of AI. Unfortunately for them, it’s not accurate.
English
People keep sending me this clip of @iamjohnoliver using my tweet as evidence that AI models don’t work well.
Just to clear up any confusion, with respect, the tweet was a) taken way out of context and b) extremely outdated.
The model in question (4o) is multiple generations old, and was shut down for being too sycophantic. Current models would not have behaved this way.
It’s sort of like looking at a Nokia flip phone and saying “this isn’t useful”, when an iPhone exists.
John, I’m a fan, and welcome any discussion here. Just want things to be accurate and not misleading!
English
@CartoonsHateHer @katrosenfield "Nice job assuming I'm white" normally shuts them up.
English
@katrosenfield I was once called a "dumb white bitch" by someone who I am 99% sure was a white man
English
I’m not saying right-wing men never say gross or obnoxious stuff to me on here, but any time I get a reply so seethingly, palpably misogynistic I’m astonished someone would post it under their real name? It’s always, always a self-described male feminist
English
@ChrisCroy @AndyMasley Occasionally? Anytime he's done a subject I personally know a lot about, he's terrible. I eventually had to stop watching because you can't keep giving someone like that the benefit of the doubt.
English
@AndyMasley his team whiffs occasionally, especially on tech; the Bitcoin/crypto episode was memorably embarrassing.

@amancalledj @jessesingal Please explain to me what you think the term “generative AI” means, with specificity. Do you think this is a broadly used term by people working in the industry?
English
@dieworkwear I have lived in Japan (Osaka) for years and I regret to inform you that Domino's is the best pizza around here. I have a difficult time remembering exactly what good pizza was like in the USA, but yes in general they do put less cheese on pizzas here.
English
this looks like a normal pizza in the united states
Dexerto@Dexerto
Domino's Japan has announced a massive "Ultra Cheese" pizza that uses 2 pounds of mozzarella

@NMc1520321 @ZODIAC_MF Enlightened was a genuinely good TV show. People tend to overlook it because her character was massively annoying, but she played that mix of earnest and shrill, nails-on-chalkboard annoying quite well.
English
@ZODIAC_MF I liked her in blue velvet, October sky, and Jurassic Park. Everything else meh.
English
SHE DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR ME AND IS ACTIVELY TERRIBLE IN WILD AT HEART. NO IDEA WHERE THIS MODERN-DAY SAINTHOOD IS COMING FROM
Motion Planet@MotionPlanet
@ZODIAC_MF You seriously hating on Laura Dern lol?
English
@EinsteinAdonis @MotionPlanet I thought she was good in Mike White's Enlightened. She was annoying as hell but that was the character, and she did it very realistically.
English
"Laura Dern is one of our best." HAHAHA WHERE DO YOU CRAZY KIDS COME UP WITH THIS KIND OF SHIT?
Nuanced Film Takes@BadFilmTakes1
The problem with nepotism isn't lack of talent (Laura Dern is one of our best), but rather that there's so many talented folks in this world who will never have the door open for them. It seems like it's getting worse too as social media fractures communities even further.
English
@jessesingal My teenager was aware of him. And now his opinion has now been shaped by BARpod.
English
you can't overstate the power of the bubble. and it's just getting worse and worse as everyone fractures and as there's more and more distance, socioeconomically and culturally, between "average americans" (imperfect term) and people like us arguing about people like hasan

English
@jessesingal Not to mention that truth is a defense, which means the Atlantic's lawyer could force Patel to answer all kinds of questions under oath and on video about things not even directly relevant to the claims in the case. Patel had better hope he loses to motion to dismiss.
English
That's an insane claim to make without access to all sorts of internal Atlantic documents this joker clearly doesn't have
Michael Patrick Leahy@michaelpleahy
BREAKING: As an award winning journalist, it is my view that Kash Patel has a very strong defamation case against The Atlantic and Sarah Fitzpatrick. This morning he filed a $250 million defamation case against them. tennesseestar.com/justice/leahy-…
English
@jessesingal Also, speaking as someone who was a young lawyer when cell phones were coming into popular use, they were very much forced on us. Plenty of law firm bought associates cell phones and made us wear them around our necks so we could always be "available."
English
Part of the reason I find Adam Conover interesting is that he's quite successful as a debunker/explainer, but it just so happens to be the case that his debunkings/explainings lead him to the *correct* conclusions for online lefties. There's real conflict there!
English
@CartoonsHateHer And when they have ADHD you become Overreactive Crazy Person Who Is Expected to Solve Everyone's Problems. Don't ask about when it's an ADHD teenager.
English
I kinda agree but then your child turns 4 and suddenly you're a Charizard Mom.
Danielle Franz@DanielleBFranz
This. Young women should know that whatever your aesthetic is, you can just add “mom” to it when you have kids. If your vibe is coastal granddaughter or whatever, congrats you are now a coastal granddaughter mom. Idk why people think they have to lose all sense of style and identity.
English
@MehulPandeyX @MetamateDaz A word that means you are whoever emailed you is really anxious and you are now responsible for calming them down.
English
@PettyPoodle22 @MetamateDaz Oh my god I just had a visceral reaction to you even tweeting that. I think you win 😆
English
@HistoryBoomer Anti-Reese's. At long last, sir, have you no decency?
English
@StrosAndSons @bendreyfuss I would point out here that these are conclusions, not facts, and there is a nontrivial difference between the two. But I don't care about any of this enough to argue, so I'll just ask you to please figure out the difference for yourself.
English
@bendreyfuss I guess this.
Steven Tavares@eastbaycitizen
I’ve covered Eric Swawell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.
English
A bizarre recurring thing is that whenever anyone is accused of bad ex shit, people are always like “everyone who knew them must have known and stayed quiet for evil reasons”
why must everyone have known? People seem to be pretty private about sex even when it’s consensual!
David Dayen@ddayen
I wrote about Eric Swalwell, why he's been abandoned so quickly, why a political class that surely knew about his antics didn't do anything about it and continued to support him, and what that says about accountability in America. prospect.org/2026/04/12/eri…

@Son_of_Dundee @dieworkwear Iran doesn't have nukes. The alleged dispute was whether they get to enrich uranium, but I doubt that was the only point of difference.
English
@dieworkwear Be crazy if the world gets nuclear holocausted because JD pulled out his "you don't show Trump enough gratitude" greatest hit, leaving the US confused by why Iran had spine to not immediately genuflect and offer up tribute as they are so use to by lesser leaders & sycophants...
English
@dieworkwear Snarky tweets like this are why I stay on Twitter. Well done sir.
