I'm from space!

  • The System that Punishes Beautiful Design [26:40]

    Jump

  • The main issue is that these items have a much bigger list of requirements and stakeholders than the items designed in the past. They’re trying to be everything for everyone.

    Something like a simple park bench needs meet requirements for accessibility, weather resistance, vandalism, cleaning, vagrancy - plus all of the opinions of city council and people that show up to nag city council.

  • Even dogs celebrate it

    Jump

  • Why are those dogs on the little bus?

  • Homeland Security Department poised to shut down as Congress leaves with no deal

    Jump

  • It’s some old 9/11 BS.

    FEMA responds any disaster, including one caused by terrorism. They got rolled into DHS so one chain of command could coordinate responses to terrorism.

    Problem is, 99.9% of their day job responding to non-terrorism disasters.

    It’s an org structure designed around an edge case, not the more common needs.

  • Homeland Security Department poised to shut down as Congress leaves with no deal

    Jump

  • First, migrate the shit out of it that should’ve never been in it.

    I don’t know why the department in change of natural disaster aid is in the same org as TSA and ICE. That’s so damn silly.

  • Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?

    Jump

  • A big exception to the rule are the HomeKit secure video cameras that work in Apple’s ecosystem. If your HomeKit compatible camera is going straight into HKSV, and isn’t paired with manufacturer’s own cloud video service, then it’s all E2EE and it can’t be accessed by Apple, even with a warrant.

    Problem is, camera offerings are limited, and scrolling clips in HomeKit is paaaainful. Also, if you’re not in Apple’s ecosystem, you can’t use it.

  • Tesla sales in China crash 45% to lowest level in over three years

    Jump

  • First, there’s the pull-forward effect. December 2025 was Tesla’s best-ever retail month in China at 93,843 units, as buyers rushed to purchase before the reinstatement of a 5% purchase tax on NEVs starting January 1, 2026. That tax had been fully exempted for over a decade. Some of January’s weakness is borrowed December strength.

    Second, China’s vehicle trade-in subsidies expired in most cities in mid-November and remain in a transitional phase, dampening demand broadly.

    Third, the broader NEV market was weak. China’s total passenger NEV retail sales fell 20% year-over-year in January to 596,000 units, according to CPCA estimates. Even BYD saw its NEV sales drop 30% year-over-year and 50% month-over-month.

    But here’s the thing: even BYD’s weak month produced 210,051 units. Tesla’s 18,485 is a different universe.

    US Gold Medal Olympian Amber Glenn: "They Hate To See Two Woke Bitches Win"

    Jump

  • MAGA ain’t going to be able to intimidate a woman that skates at the uptown Oakland rink. She’s seen harder shit they they’ll ever see.

  • Democrats Propose Minor Reforms for ICE — and Record Funding

    Jump

  • Honestly I’m on the fence about yanking the DHS funding. Trump is just going to fund ICE through other piles of money that he got in the BBB and that he’ll just start cutting other more critical services. Like FEMA, which is under the DHS.

    If the Dems can effectively communicate that Trump is using FEMA, TSA, and coastguard money for ICE, then they should cut funding. But I’m not particularly confident about the Dems ability to communicate this. Hell, a lot of people don’t even realize that Trump can still fund ICE if Dems holdback DHS funding. They have not effectively communicated this.

  • The TP USA halftime audience

    Jump

  • It’s from HBO’s Silicon Valley … but also, it’s pretty damn similar.

  • Federal judge blocks California from enforcing ICE mask ban

    Jump

  • That’s what they’re going to do.

  • From the great mind of Kevin Sorbo

    Jump

  • Word. I’m an insufferable indie snob, and it’s rare that top 40 pop excites me. But, I appreciate good craft, and IMHO, if you’re at the top of the US album charts, and are pulling numbers that beat Taylor Swift, you should probably get to play at the Super Bowl. The people have spoken.

  • From the great mind of Kevin Sorbo

    Jump

  • You’d think that an actor would actually appreciate all of that impeccable choreography, art direction, and set design.

    That was one of the best halftime shows ever produced. No Purple Rain in the rain, but it was in the top 10.

  • Seahawks Super Bowl champions after Patriots shut down by defense

    Jump

  • Two good defensive teams. For a minute there I thought the Hawk’s place kicker was going to be the only person to put numbers on the scoreboard.

  • Democrat wins election "comfortably" in big Donald Trump district

    Jump

  • It’s a pretty purple district and, although Trump won big in this district, they tend to vote blue for the local stuff, and this Democrat replaced an incumbent democrat.

  • Members of Congress will be able to view unredacted Epstein files next week

    Jump

  • I mean, these ass clowns have already released stuff that they forgot to redact and stuff that wasn’t redacted in ways that actually removed PII.

  • TIL I’m a member of Congress.
