Just remembered the Christopher Columbus bit from the Curtis Sliwa-Adam Friedland podcast, the #1 clip of all time for Not Having Any Idea What Words Are Coming Next

Sen. Collins faced Troy Jackson last night in their Maine Senate debate. On stage, Collins inaccurately described ProPublica’s story about an FBI anticorruption investigation that probed the conduct of her & her staff until Trump’s DOJ shut it down. Let’s get into the facts…

Had Paul Kedrosky back on the show to talk about how AI is distorting the bond markets to the point that it’s changing the price on US Treasuries, how AI data center economics don’t make sense, and the troubling things he’s hearing out of Anthropic. youtu.be/7boszzOAeJw?... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

The whole speech is good, but this part in particular is particularly relevant now. www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/publ...

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

Glen Hansard’s great live cover of my all-time favorite song by anyone, Van Morrison’s “Astral Weeks”. Rest In Peace, Glen Hansard. 💚🇮🇪 youtube.com/watch?v=H82p...

My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are

I thought experiencing civilization almost entirely through a digital medium where there is no verifiable source of truth would be fun but actually it blows

The Republican president of the Utah State Senate lost his 2026 primary because of his support for "AI" Data Centers. UTAH. Democrats, i really really really need you to get this message and get it right now.

i swear to god man, there has never been a cadre of sorrier fucking losers and hall-monitor dickweeds than at the top of the Democratic Party

The profound part of Juneteenth for me is that before this was made a holiday, there was no official celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. When the 13th Amendment passed in December 1865, the legislators who witnessed its enshrinement imagined that the day would be remembered.

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

youre not going to believe this but the dumb assholes we put in charge have fucked everything up

This is perfect. Excerpt from a longer piece by Shawn Smucker, published here: shawnsmucker.substack.com/p/please-use-ai #poem #booksky #writing

This has gone more viral than anything I have ever written or recorded, the "AI has no ROI" story has fully caught on and there's an anxiety in the AI industry that nobody can seem to calm down. Things are going to get interesting in the next few weeks!

Kill Tony? If the alternatives are fucking or marrying, I guess. But surely we could just let a medium-talent guy keep getting less relevant as the (obvious) limits of his talent as a comic become more apparent and his inability to adjust pushes him further to the margins. But also I would kill him.

This is absolutely outrageous. SCOTUS reinstated Texas gerrymander 15 weeks before primary because they claimed it was too close to election to block it but now allowing Alabama to gerrymander one week before primary after trial court found map was intentionally discriminatory against Black voters

*taking the cap off my travel deodorant before heading on a trip like an action hero checking the bullets remaining in a magazine* “I’ve gotta make em count.”

Did Victor Glover attend Cal Poly on a wrestling scholarship & later play on the football team? Yup. Was he a prime agitator in forcing the administration to create a DEI plan of action? Yup. Was he part of a group of men selected to inform students about rape & sexual assault? YESSIR

Social media ain’t no fun no more

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

If folks were honest with themselves they would understand that the point of AI is to inhibit your ability to think. The end of human thinking is the goal of those who create AI. This isn't even a secret, I suppose.

love to describe the world that we live in as "if tom clancy had a day drinking older brother"

this from my piece on charlie kirk is probably the most important takeaway if you want to know why bad faith, right-wing voices in media are treated as just another set of peers

OK, here is your one-minute primer on the whole concept of "trickle down economics," from the obituary of Fred Smith, the founder of Fedex. I mean, if you still can't see it, I have no hope for you.
