Oh she’s trashy trashy.

Ms. Russini tried to fend off a ticket by telling the officer that the coach of the Buffalo Bills had been fired, and she was trying to break news.

The officer was unmoved, telling her he was a fan of a different team.

That’s when she made him an offer. Maybe she could connect him, right then and there, to his favorite team’s coach.

“Do you want to talk to the coach? You should talk to the coach,” Ms. Russini said she told the officer as she recounted the incident a couple of weeks later on “Stugotz and Company,” a radio show and podcast.

“I FaceTime the head coach,” she said, without naming him. “Head coach is in his office. He said, ‘What’s up?’ I go, ‘I just got pulled over and I just wanted you to meet my friend, Officer Joe.’”

The coach helped her get out of the ticket by telling the officer, “You should let her go, she’s a good citizen,” Ms. Russini said.

The podcast host howled with laughter. “I wish I had that kind of access,” he said.

She did this in front of her kids and then bragged about it.

Jared Kushner, who received top-secret security clearance during the first administration because Trump overruled security officials. He was initially denied.

It’s disgusting.

Believe it or not, it’s been like this before, multiple times!

McCarthyism comes to mind, of course.

But also, when Nixon took office in 1969 he immediately started going after his enemies, using anything he could, including the IRS, the FBI, and his own spies paid from a slush fund. He continually claimed he had to play dirty tricks so his opponent didn’t do it first.

Nixon and Trump were pen pals, btw.

Case by case, there may be good reasons for teams to work together in person. As a general rule, though, it turns out that ordering people back to the office full time is a power and status move. It’s a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities. They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshiped at the office altar.

Interestingly, the chudjak’s face was based on the El Paso mass shooter.

So, if he was of Greek/Phonecian descent, it could technically be true in that way as well!

Close!

Graph Massara is a person’s name. So someone named Graph chose the stupidest possible colors for this graph.

Gotta be an intern.

Wikipedia highlights this difference on their disambiguation page if you look up “Perfect Shuffle.”

It may refer to

• the Faro shuffle, in particular the interpretation whereby cards (or more generally, entities in sequence) are divided into two equal piles and interleaved.

Or

• Any shuffling algorithm that guarantees perfect randomness

I added bold because that’s the one we’re talking about.

wtf? Of course there is. Bohemian Club has been well-known for decades.

They have a little camp every year where they do little plays and dress up. A billionaire’s Boy Scouts.

This made me chuckle because my total lack of understanding of what this NEET was made the headline a garden path sentence.

NATIONAL ELIGIBILITY CUM ENTRANCE TEST [ NEET (UG) – 2026 ] will be conducted by National Testing Agency (NTA), as a common and uniform National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test [(NEET (UG)] for admission to undergraduate medical education in all medical institutions.

Saying “WILL” is clickbait.

As many have pointed out, they can’t force this.

This was my thought too. It’s so ridiculous I thought it was an Onion headline at first.

It seems like the first major AI company to go full laughing stock but it won’t be the last.

HA!

I didn’t know that, and it makes the joke way funnier.

Huh.

Does anyone else think that ChatGPT is still using the data, they’re just not referencing Reddit directly?

This is how you can tell Reddit’s $200+/share price is insane. Over 10% of its value dropped based on a different unprofitable company’s references to ingested content.

Yikes!!

The first sentence of the article shows the problem.

For years, we heard about the tech talent shortage — that there were a glut of jobs and not enough bodies to fill them.

The problem wasn’t ever “bodies,” which people have always misunderstood. It’s qualified workers.

I worked in tech for a long time, at a bunch of different companies, and I never once worked anywhere that there was a glut of jobs and “not enough bodies” to fill them.

The people going into these careers includes a large number of people who want the money but aren’t qualified do what we’re looking for.

Many of the true-blue Nazis didn’t really see the big deal after World War II.

When I asked Herr Wedekind, the baker, why he had believed in National Socialism, he said, “Because it promised to solve the unemployment problem. And it did. But I never imagined what it would lead to. Nobody did.”
I thought I had struck pay dirt, and I said, “What do you mean, ‘what it would lead to,’ Herr Wedekind?”
“War,” he said. “Nobody ever imagined it would lead to war.”

None of them ever heard anything bad about the Nazi regime except, as they believed, from Germany’s enemies, and Germany’s enemies were theirs. “Everything the Russians and the Americans said about us,” said Cabinetmaker Klingelhöfer, “they now say about each other.”

From They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-45 by Milton Mayer.

Highly recommended.

That’s hilarious. Sling has been around for a decade… and now they care.

You can tell traditional television is dying. An industry that isn’t struggling doesn’t consistently embarrass itself like this.

It reminds me of the major labels in the music industry, pissing their pants for ten years when iTunes and streaming became popular.

Wow that’s interesting!

The study lays out the case that the domestication process is often wrongly thought of as initiated by humans—with people capturing and selectively breeding wild animals. But the study authors claim that the process begins much earlier, when animals become habituated to human environments.

“One thing about us humans is that, wherever we go, we produce a lot of trash,” says the study’s co-author and University of Arkansas at Little Rock biologist Raffaela Lesch. Piles of human scraps offer a bottomless buffet to wildlife, and to access that bounty, animals need to be bold enough to rummage through human rubbish but not so bold as to become a threat to people.

This has absolutely blown my mind. I don’t think I’ve ever considered that, obviously.

I love his lack of self-awareness! The company he “founded” must be amazing.

Oh.

FYI, this was not in the museum but was briefly available at the gift shop. As evidenced by the price tag.

I have always related to this Isaac Asimov quote from 1980:

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
