@emollick I'm watching it, and I'm confused- where are the guys from the Cosa Nostra? The "Rosy Fingers" Don is in the first sentence, for goodness sakes!

I know the upcoming film version of the Odyssey is controversial, so I whipped together a completely accurate version that I think will be happily accepted by everyone as the most definitive version since Homer's original, if not more so.

@marcorandazza @robbysoave Not necessarily. The only requirement is that she be capable of launching 1,000 ships. This could be any attractive or repulsive force of at least 1,000 millihelens.

@robbysoave Helen of Troy AT LEAST SHOULD BE HOT.

Okay but it does seem significant that these are all real people and Helen of Troy is not.

@nithyavraman Living in a hotel, you say? What a strange choice! Why would someone who lived in that area of LA need to be in a hotel? Surely all those building permits were expedited by the city council?

Donald Trump is about to endorse Spencer. Tonight is the fundraising deadline, and we need to raise more to prove that LA doesn't want a MAGA Republican mayor who lives in the Bel Air hotel. Donate NOW secure.actblue.com/donate/nithya4…

@thehill I'd be pretty specifically angry at the person who burned down my house, too.

Bass says LA mayoral race opponent Spencer Pratt ‘tapping into a general sense of anger’ thehill.com/homenews/state…

@RepJackKimble @senatorshoshana Senator Soshana, you may want to clue in Rep Kimble about your approach to representing East Virginia to help mitigate the renumeration issue. He may be able to help you get the sloth bill passed.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@Pentium_486 @esrtweet hiatus is great!

@esrtweet @thowland vulfpeck hiatus kaiyote

I just recently discovered Snarky Puppy. How in the hell did a jazz-fusion band this good hide from me for so long?

@esrtweet fun / funky session musicians from LA, I don't think their rhythm guitarist has anything but cartillage in his right hand: youtube.com/watch?v=BD_r_H… Might be more funk than Jazz fusion, but you could imagine Jaco sitting in with these guys

@thowland I do not know about vulfpeck. Do tell!

@spencerpratt They want to go after homeowners so they can fine them. The folks living in squalor are responsible for the vast majority of fire callouts - but they're broke, so they get left alone to do what they want. It's dangerous if a gov't knows you have even a little bit of $.

COME AND TAKE IT

@FischerKing64 Supreme court rules "Racism is illegal in redistricting." Democrats say "That's RAAAAACISSST!". Must be opposite (D)ay again.

Court-packing is a completely mainstream view on the political left now. They see it as entirely justified because they are unhappy with recent decisions. They're not interested in the "judicial philosophies" behind the opinions - they just want their way. They're refreshingly honest about this.

@RepRoKhanna Weird how quickly we've gone from "Protecting democracy" to "We're willing to change the rules of the game without any care for the long term damage we'll charge, so we can guarantee a win."

The Supreme Court has engaged in an ugly recidivism that has marked the fastest rollback of Black political rights since Reconstruction. 18 year terms limits on Justices now. Expand the court from 9 to 13 Justices now.

@senatorshoshana use -todays date (eg, -20260512). If you might post more than one a day, add a 00 to the end now, and increment it to 01 when you have the next one.

Not shaming my colleague I love but it's funny bc hes a code king but doesn't think like I do. We have a hero article section where we can feature articles. A field tells what order they should be in (a number). But when I select a new article and put in 1 it doesn't move the other 1s ive put into other articles and move it to the front. His solution was to use huge and negative numbers and I'm like bro I'm not gonna remember if I last used -1000 or -10000

@grahamformaine you know a lot about ovens and lighting stuff on fire, don't you, mr. auschwitz camp guard tattoo.

$70 billion for ICE. $50 billion for Iran. That’s our money they’re lighting on fire.

@ThePrimeagen pbcopy, pbpaste, duh.

without googling, i still cannot figure out how to copy and paste on a mac into: 1. the provided Terminal app (which sucks) 2. Ghostty. C-V does nothing, C-v goes into escape insertion (expected). I refuse to google this and it should just be obvious...

@Supermicro you guys smuggling these in CCP china still or nah?

Enterprise AI ready where you are. Supermicro PCIe GPU solutions featuring AMD Instinct™ MI350P GPUs simplify on-prem deployment with scalable AI performance.

@IMAO_ Alternately, stop torturing a widow for the clicks.

A better way to demonstrate you follow Jesus than shouting, “Christ is King!” is to not lie all the time.

@nytimes "The antisemite who burned an elderly woman alive in an incoherent terrorist plot pled guilty and was sentenced to life in prison." would seem to be significantly more honest.

Breaking News: The man accused of carrying out an antisemitic firebombing in Boulder, Colorado, was sentenced to life in prison. nyti.ms/4tlJBqk

@jacobin serious ribbentrop molotov vibes here

Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past. jacobin.com/2026/05/platne…

@Osint613 his ability to diagnose cognitive impairment at a distance sure seems…. situational, doesn’t it?

Gov. Pritzker on Trump: "I think the man has dementia... they genuinely need help. There's no one around him who wants to help."

@HistoryBoomer I’m holding out for rainbow suspenders and “Nanoo-Nanoo.”

RED ALERT RED ALERT "Yikes" is making a comeback! Next up, "this ain't it, chief."
