Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

no idea who made this but I think of that random person with gratitude every time I heat up any sort of wraplike food object in the microwave

two scenes from an X-Men animated program: in the first, scott summers and jean gray are making out; he is labeled "microwave heat" and she is labeled "plate." in the second, we are more distant from the couple, and wolverine is standing in the foreground, labeled "my burrito."

I don't want to dunk-quote on this person, but actually, this is a perfect illustration of the problem. we can't become accustomed to or expect or concede constant monitoring from armed troops as we go about our business. it should always make us recoil. there's danger in it becoming unremarkable.

screenshot of a post that reads "Not to be all "you're getting sold" National Guard troops spend all day standing in out of the way corners of DC. Not great that they're standing in front of a ballot drop box, but c'mon, people, use some common sense. They're not stopping anyone from dropping something off." it is a quote-post of a post from the DC Council that says "this is clearly not acceptable" and features a photo of national guard members standing around a ballot box in Foggy Bottom

I’m on a flight next to a guy who is listening to Seinfeld with no headphones and all I hear is the laughtrack and the worst bass noises of all time every 15 seconds and all I can think about is this.

Pftompkins.bsky.social: The music of Seinfeld, divorced from the show itself, is nothing short of disgusting. Imagine if the show didn’t exist but the music somehow did. Hearing it, your face would twist in angry revulsion

can’t think of a better example of AI being mostly a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist also it can’t help when this is your user base

nic carter o @nic_carter X.com this is about me and i'm not sorry! i don't have time to autistically read forums and random team news or whatever. i'm sure spending hours and hours running your fantasy team is a good ROI if you're unemployed but some of us have jobs also my team is stacked so that's another point in the Al columnAndrew Weiner • @DickeyNate • 18h What's the point if playing fantasy football if you're just going to automate it nic carter @nic_carter • 17h there's no point to fantasy football, it's grown ass men pretending to draft NFL players OpenWindowManiac @Cit_rusK •17h Then just don't do it? nic carter * @nic_carter X.com social obligation 8:41 PM • 10/5/26 • 880 Views

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager
