I’m certainly not an expert, but it seems to me that the fascist mindset and the rapist mindset are very similar. Just ask Bill Maher.

This is what I meant when I said in 2024 that when I looked at the incoming administration, all I could see was rape. It’s the heinous act itself, yes, but also a mentality, as deftly explained here:

Trump got some “good press“ or at least “good sound bites“ from Bill Maher. And after he got what he wanted effectively shit all over him. This is the fascist methodology, or at least part of it.

And just to clarify, I’m not trying to minimize rape victims or anything like that. But ultimately it seems like the rapist see something they want and takes it. And once they have what they want, they have no use for the person they took it from.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Werewolf from New Trail Brewing B “Imperial pumpkin stout brewed with vanilla and pumpkin spice” Again, not sure if there’s pumpkin here. This is a sweet, dark, spice-filled extravaganza. Strong to quite strong. Almost a dessert beer but I could have a few of these. #beer #beersky #fall

The Fear from Flying Dog C+ “Imperial pumpkin ale. Ale brewed with pumpkin spices.” No pumpkin, I think. Lots of spice, not enough to mask the alcohol. This will keep you warm on a cold evening. Didn’t love it. Probably the best artwork on the label of the whole list though. #beer #beersky #fall

No, I’m not slamming pumpkin ale at 10:30am on a Tuesday. Had these in my drafts. A 3-pack! BOOmore pumpkin from Oliver brewing Co. A Imperial brown ale with pumpkin spice. 8% ABV Toasty brown ale with balanced spice. If there’s actual pumpkin in it, it’s pretty subtle. #beer #beersky #fall

I gave it an A because I like it and would drink it again on purpose. It might be better referred to as a spiced brown ale, but that’s fine. Still evokes pumpkin.

This is really well written. Also, I too noticed weird taste and texture in my peanut butter cups recently. Glad to know I’m not losing it.

Listening to the Sirius xm whip around nfl coverage (think red zone but radio) this weekend while doing yard work was exhausting tbh. But I did hear someone refer to a heavy o-line as “the vanguard of beef”, so… worth it?

Comedic aspect aside, it should be wildly troubling that a person who the VP of the US counts as a trusted mentor and thought leader is suggesting that you can ignore democratic elections and activate the military to overturn them at your own whims. It’s super on brand for this guy, but still…

This is the wrong framing. Fixed it: “Attackers used Anthropic’s Claude to bypass a paywall and steal Georgia voter data without authorization, per Axios.”

I agree this is getting out of hand. Obama has the chance to do something amazing though. Go do a video from the nearest Cheesecake Factory. Get a meal. Have some drinks. Marvel at the over the top but charming and kitschy decor…

…Remark at how it’s actually kinda nice but certainly no one would expect the white house to be like this. Work in a joke about how it would be better than getting fast food in the East Room.

My nails look like this after a day’s worth of yard work or working on things in the garage. Something tells me desantis engages in neither of those activities.

I’m seeing an influx of Billy corgan hate this fine evening. I saw smashing pumpkins when they reunited like 8 years ago. Best concert I’ve ever seen. That is all.

Just realized this is probably a lot more impressive (if at all) if you knew that when I was a college freshman we were all texting using T9, no one had an iPhone, and laptops and flat screens were rarely seen.

I shit you not, me and a classmate had the idea for peer to peer cell phone and text messaging freshman year of college. Our mentors shot it down because they said no one would want their calls and texts to be relayed by other people.

East Potomac costs $42 to play and hosts thousands of people each year. A lot of the players are beginners. A lot of them don't have that much money. A lot of them are black. This is the course Donald Trump has decided shouldn't exist, and in the past, he's been fairly explicit about why not

Bluesky I know you do not care about golf. But I am telling you that in this specific case, you SHOULD care about golf. I explain in @slate.com what the Trump administration is doing to East Potomac Golf Course in D.C. slate.com/culture/2026...

I think everyone is being too harsh on this. Maybe Daniel also used copilot and just got there first? Also, let me tell you how artistic and fulfilling making PowerPoint slides off your forecast models is…

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

The thing about Anthropic is, the product seems to be very, very good but the support is terrible. I know I’m not the target consumer (obv it’s business accts), but I have been trying for 5 days to trouble shoot why I cannot give them more money (upgrading plan) and so far have gotten nowhere.

BREAKING: Anthropic reports an $80 billion net loss in the first half of 2026.

Note: this is actually just me trying to get help through a different channel. Anyone work at Anthropic? Anyone know anyone who works at Anthropic?

As a Washington football refugee who was welcomed by #billsMafia with open arms about 4 years ago, exactly this.

Patrick Mahomes is “fun” to watch like it’s fun to see your grandma do the Cupid Shuffle at a wedding. Josh Allen is fun to watch like it’d be fun to see a gorilla riding a rocket ship at a rodeo.

A few summers ago I had like 5-10 beer and sparkling water cans that leaked in coolers at the beach. Just pin hole leaks mostly but I found this super ridiculous as well. Wrote it off as a stupid Covid impact then. But here we go again.

Support the arts.

Greetings all. I have put this off for some time now but I am struggling to pay an enormous printing debt to my current printers. Therefore I am asking for all your help. If you've ever enjoyed my games, please consider donating so I can continue to make them. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-neonr...

I showed up and there was a single parking spot left. And I couldn’t get in the building with my badge. And I couldn’t get in the office suite with my badge. And the cube I was told to sit in was assigned to someone else. #oneMustImagineSisyphusHappy
