I have to say, out of all the ways I pictured technology might advance… dystopian, utopian, increased convenience… I did not anticipate the degree to which it would change in stupid ways to intentionally piss me off just so some dudes could make a buck. https://t.co/tdGFOrdqMk

Ukraine update - Bob Rae: "To base decisions on fear would be devastating for democracy"
Russia’s attack on #Dnipro with a megabomb directed at civilians, combined with massive armoured assaults represent #escalation which must be met with the strongest possible response. To hesitate or base decisions on fear would be devastating for #Ukraine and #democracy

"Russia is just continuing to act in ways that are almost unbelievable," Biden says in Oval Office during bilat with Netherlands' Mark Rutte. Rutte says they have seen the “terrible footage” from Dnipro and it has strengthened resolve to help Ukraine. https://t.co/Avz42Bnvu7

I'm so tired of Teh Stupid!
it is genuinely hilarious the entire financial system might be saved by a random poster with the username "beowulf" in the blog comments of a B list hedge fund manager who was like "why dont we just mint a trillion dollar coin" which was passed by word of mouth to Krugman

Increasingly, I am convinced that Garland will never have the courage to indict Trump for anything - I doubted he would do it even before the Biden documents were announced, but now it would likely be impossible. Oh well....For those playing along at home, Merrick Garland knew Trump stole classified documents as early as January 2021 and... took almost 2 years to appoint a special counsel.

With Biden, it took Garland 2 months.
I keep trying to tell you guys that Merrick is a pathetically weak man.

I spent the evening watching the US House of Representatives try to elect a Speaker. Finally, they did. Just barely.

....Then, on Friday at 2 p.m., with the storm already swirling and snow rapidly piling up, making roads impassable, there was a knock at the door. Two men, part of a group of nine tourists from South Korea that was traveling to Niagara Falls, asked for shovels to dig their passenger van out of a ditch.And so an unlikely holiday weekend began, with the Campagnas welcoming the travelers, along with their driver, as house guests....They spent the weekend swapping stories, watching the Buffalo Bills defeat the Chicago Bears on Christmas Eve and sharing delicious Korean home-cooked meals prepared by the guests, like jeyuk bokkeum, a spicy stir-fried pork dish, and dakdori tang, a chicken stew laced with fiery red pepper. To the surprise and glee of the Korean guests, Mr. Campagna and his wife, who are both fans of Korean food, had all the necessary condiments on hand: mirin, soy sauce, Korean red pepper paste, sesame oil and chili flakes. There was also kimchi and a rice cooker.
