Although I'm a perfectly legal adult in my 30s, I used my brother's identity to verify my age on Pornhub. I don't want the government or the data companies knowing my weird kinks.

The equivalent of a congressional district has just elected a candidate from a party roughly comparable to the DSA. Does that really qualify as “insane” versus, y’know, the events on any given day in US politics right now?
Honest question: why are UK politics so insane? Obvious glass houses situation, so, yes, stipulated but what gives?

‘We left with all of my children’ is a hell of a sentence, whilst giving evidence about the president’s mate, isn’t it.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island? LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children
McSweeny resigning is the best thing that could happen to this country right now. I don’t care if Starmer becomes a lame duck, at least we won’t get policies that will hand Reform the election
Like, what's frustrating about Morgan McSweeney more than anything is he is just really, really obviously a massive prick. If you had a workmate like him, you'd hate him. If he was your relative, you'd hate him. If you saw him in a pub, you'd hate him instantly. He just absolutely radiates it.

I'm gonna have a big ol bag of chips and I don't look and sound like a desiccated meatball trying desperately to speak human English so whose diet is really working here?
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

It is ALWAYS a mechanical turk, it is ALWAYS human beings being pressured to do more work for less wages. Every single goddamn time.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.

"[Workers at major companies] are asking, why do I have to use something that doesn't work? Well it's because capitalism demands eternal growth. Milton Friedman's ghost haunts every trader, Ronald Reagan pops out of the toilet every so often, this is what we do here." Love the mental imagery.

JFC all these guys are megalomaniacal weirdos…we need to remove billionaires from the planet like we would termites or roaches from a building.
Factory farming humans — one more reason there should be no billionaires “Videogame executive Xu Bo, said to have more than 100 children, and other elites build mega-families, testing citizenship laws and drawing on nannies, IVF and legal firms set up to help them” www.wsj.com/us-news/chin...

This isn’t just a Bad Idea, it’s a mutilation of the human condition. Putting aside the fact that it isn’t your grandmother, the fact we are impermanent is what makes our lives worth living. You’re not only not accepting your loss and moving through grief, you’re wallowing in it perpetually.
IN DEPTH | If you could speak to your dead grandmother forever, would you?
