I don't think he knows that "show your own ass" is a figurative expression

I'm an optimist and believe that the New York Times has the capacity to feel shame. So spread the word!

Who do I give to to get this in front of as many Michigan voters as possible?

For a man who doesn't drink(I actually believe him), he looks like the nastiest old drunk who ever lived.

You just know Trump is going to ream him out for saying "Trump/Vance administration."

Oh, so this slim Lula win happened in spite of the Bolsonaro cheating.

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

What's next, a remake of ConAir? The Lawnmower Man? Has anyone even so much as even thought of Bound in decades?

I can just imagine these turds raising 200 million only to get in front of a computer to ask Claude how to make monster war dogs. www.forbes.com/sites/amyfel...

I think it's possible to hold in our minds two things: 1 - a person committed a crime, is to receive the punishment our society has agreed on for that 2 - we can still be interested in what happens next; not all of our interactions with them (and their families) need to take the form of condemnation

What if an entire country had two full years to look itself in the eye and internalize the idea that they'd elected the King Of The Rapists to steal money out of their wallets, murder their neighbors, and shit in their food. Is it theoretically possible such an event would effect opinion polls

The way this dog walks is killing me

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

"Fair use," I'll say while rifling through their desk drawers.

for the first time in all my years in Toronto, i witnessed Regg Hart putting up his posters

If you're a writer and you use Ai, best keep that shit a secret because I will never buy your work again. You won't exist to me.

The "controversial" comic with over 43 false reports to silence the creator and the real feel of the people. Enjoy, like and reshare "The Day All Billionaires Died..." By #noneofthisisok

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

This can't be real "Yarram Herd Services Committee vice chairman Aaron Thomas said the loss of 100 cryogenic cylinders of cattle semen will be a "huge blow" for the farmers." www.newsweek.com/fire-bull-se...

When I was a kid in peewee hockey, I scored a goal on my own team's net by mistake but i think this guy might have me beat.

on October 7, a chunk of my family were nearly wiped out. my teenage cousin had been here in Toronto for my sister's wedding, we sent him back, and two days later the attack happened. the kubbitz my family is from was attacked, but there had been just enough forewarning.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

Zombie fiction is, at its core, about the fear of seeing your own body age and decay. Ghost stories are about the impossibility of grappling with the past. Vampires are about what if you got so horny you died

I know some AC/DC fans who would become downright homicidal if they heard this

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

"Frankly my dear, I am relatively indifferent to your plight in light of the events preceding this moment." Needs work.

I also saw Tender Loving Care tonight, and if this is Mike Leigh's final movie, as he says it likely is, what a high note on which to end a singular and utterly distinguished writing-directing careers. This one starts as amiable, even cheerful "minor" Leigh, then sneaks up and guts you. >

I love it when someone drags something I hate but I haven't yet been able to articulate why.

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

This... should not make sense but it does

"Boss, I got those photos of Susan Sarandon, real gorgeous and iconic, just like you wanted." "... wait, what?"

It's too depressing and obnoxious to write about, but virtually all of the doomy/horny AI hyperventilating is transparently displaced anxiety about our fucked climate and political situation. Even rich idiots know it's bad and being permitted to get worse. They're trying to write their own ending.
