  In Ulysses: The Cop Show, detectives Stephanie Dedalus and Leo Bloom investigate a murder potentially linked to a meth ring in a sleepy town in Arkansas. They frequent an Irish-themed bar. Also their car has sirens. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kwxpje5qog6wwndagwbssatp/post/3mz4e3zmr572t

  I assumed this had to be a joke, because… why? RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:kwxpje5qog6wwndagwbssatp/post/3mz4e3zmr572t

  Genuinely think part of the tech reactionary fantasy for AI is that we can soon dispense with all that inconvenient "higher education" for all but a tiny sliver of the population, once virtually all white-collar jobs have become "Claude's Intern" RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4musdh2uni44id3q5fhks2l/post/3mz3uv3i3ks22

  TIL: Not-yet-super-famous Lin-Manuel Miranda had a recurring role on (the real version of) this show, which was so epically bad it was cancelled after two episodes. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:m7m6vhdcopyizbgoon2zobc2/post/3myxc7bgadk2j

  A perhaps less edifying Patrick Stewart anecdote related by a friend when I was at NYU and he was in town doing The Tempest: A limo rolls up in front of a club in the meatpacking district with a line of young attractive people waiting to get in. From the moon roof emerges the gleaming pate…

  Neighborhood group chat is full of folks freaking out about how low the plane was flying. A few folks thought it was some kind of attack. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ejihld4sywvvqwe67cdkn4jq/post/3mz2bkgcch22j

  There’s been a bunch of discourse recently about finding a model of “masculinity” to oppose to the one presented by simian Manosphere dipshits, and while I find the whole enterprise rather silly, if we have to play this game, I propose: Jean-Luc Picard.

  So Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Donna Arthur has been rightly condemned as despicable on many levels, but one that deserves emphasis is that Arthur is pretty clearly a mentally disturbed elderly person who has been exploited by professional political operatives. www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

  Same. There was something that felt really radical about having a TV hero whose superpower was not just intelligence but thoughtfulness, and a kind of moral seriousness. Who showed from that first episode that you “win” by seeking to understand what seems like a threat. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dmxyy2z3kyd446dbg7cu6yrz/post/3mz22o53oqs2w

  Vance does not find RCV confusing, any more than he finds it difficult to pronounce Middle Eastern countries. He thinks his base are drooling morons, and feigns “I can’t tie my shoes unaided” because that’s the level he thinks is relatable to them.

  This is oddly reassuring in that, unlike (say) gas prices, you actually do need to be somewhat news attentive to register the unprecedented scale and venality of this administration’s corruption. I worried how far it would break through. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:yragfoxl7xc6vizenuut62lz/post/3myzw4u7bss2l

  Apparently getting “cancelled” is how someone I’d never heard of ends up with her face on a magazine cover. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:s6uwytvvpihxcqyzvcltzmrr/post/3myxgxmv6u22p

  I don’t actually think the direct goal is to sabotage Dems. I think they are clinging to the desperate notion that if they’re performatively equally hard on both sides, maybe the Fox/Newsmax audience will start to trust them again & come trickling back.

  Is this one of those Mandela Effect things? I thought the broad consensus of older viewers was that the first two were awful and the third was OK. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:s4pz6gybij22owdbbmwbjf3i/post/3myx7dt3jwk2l

  Google won’t allow its chatbot to directly answer who won the 2020 presidential election (but other elections are fine, apparently). RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ptwfknk5mn2c7mwpvjrfnoay/post/3myx246e2ms2b

  Look I realize in Trump’s case this just means “the election doesn’t count if I lose” but I’m not sure why anyone would ever *unconditionally* commit to accepting putative election results. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:k5nskatzhyxersjilvtnz4lh/post/3myvhu6yyj32o

  No. Your attitude has to be that absolutely nothing will get done. If you’re trying to “pass common-sense legislation to help the American people”in this environment you’re a fucking traitor. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iu4j537hox5huj4bwnwgub4z/post/3myvchepnns2i

  I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.
