Making a big stupid monument that’s also a sniper perch and attack drone hangar like something out of Command & Conquer is maybe the most 12 anyone has ever been.

25 years later and The Onion’s ParentCorner 9/11 explainer from immediately after the attack is a better understanding of the threat environment than the one produced by the U.S. government.

Japan is choosing a new Suica mascot, and the internet has already picked its favorite: "B," a deeply unsettling purple rabbit. But can online enthusiasm translate into a real-world election win?

Now in Gunmetal Grey!

happy anniversary, to all who celebrate

Wait a damn minute. The things Arday did, like the marathons, had been previously covered, with first hand primary sources, by English news orgs, contemporaneously?!?! And yet the Telegraph and others just kept repeating that he'd lied about them, despite tons of documentation they happened?! 🤬🤬🤬

Look, put simply, people should not be comfortable saying that in public and the way to fix society runs directly through making them afraid to say it again.

Obviously there’s no way these leaders could be wrong/massive morons, right?

I think I’m gonna watch The End of Oak Street and The Last House back to back. Big week for movies about families in houses/neighborhoods.

The group chat I’m in with dudes I met on Something Awful are all shaken up by the video, if that tells you anything.

Damn that shit is smooth

Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...

Wake me up when the slop machine can produce writing as elegant and sharp as anything Ted Chiang has ever written.

I mean, in 2010 the commentariat had all just cum so hard from their public whipping of Gordon Brown for calling one of the Herrenvolk "bigoted", of course they were gonna see Farage & UKIP and that "legitimate concerns" rhetoric as an endless source of ever bigger & better sadism orgasms for them

My latest newsletter is about how the media defines "political violence" as something that happens exclusively to politicians, and ignores its primary victims: everyone else.

We didn't deserve this day.

Gilead has a drug that could prevent HIV with just 2 injections a year. MSF said "we'll buy it name your price." Gilead said no. Let that sink in. Pharmacological innovation without access for those who need it does not accomplish its potential. www.eatg.org/hiv-news/pre...

My phone internet fully crapped out while I was taking a little night walk and the last post it loaded was a collection of pretty wild threats by an IRGC spokesman. Had me worried for a second. 😬

“Sorry kids, daddy can’t hang out with you this weekend. Business Insider has asked me to write about what a stupid idiot I am.”

When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.
