If there is a Republican candidate you are considering voting for because he is an exception, a throwback to the good old days when Republicans were decent, honorable people, I assure you: no there isn't.

My favorite genre of cat posts will always be the ones framed like a breaking news story.

I don't mean to be rude, it's just that I forget not everyone says fuck as a fundamental noun, verb, adjective, and adverb the way I do.

I am currently stuck at home and I am begging every person here: stop trying to make me learn who this Klein person is. I get he is very important for social media or something but I am very tired and old and my brain cannot hold much more information.

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

By my napkin math, total Bell Labs research expenditures from 1930-1980 were on the order of $50 billion in 2026 dollars. AI companies have spent ~$1 trillion so far: The equivalent of ~20 Bell Labs histories. In its history, Bell Labs researchers discovered the transistor, the solar cell, the laser

Today was a good deer day at the park.

IM SORRY I MISSED YOUR FEEDING TIME. Seriously, this squirrel gets angry when I am even five minutes late. (Yes I am aware this is a warning sound. It only does it when I am late for morning peanuts.)

Because parents have been cutting off their kids (and/or threatening to) since the dawn of time, and NYT editors regard it as normal? (You date that girl. You want to leave the familly business. You chose the arts over med school. You're gay. You're trans.... It's endlesss... & then there's wills!)

As an affirmed dog lover, I have a few things to say. (1) Dogs are harder than people admit. They take a lot of work. They need constant exercise and mental stimulation, especially those with working dog heritage of any kind. Dogs are hard.

the uptick in gen-z vs millennial content is 100% manufactured by conservative media owners trying to direct narratives away from how everything sucks bc of conservatives ahead of the midterms and beyond last thing they want is young people being influenced by millennials raging against the system

"It's cute because it 'basically looks like a baby.'"

The inherent problem with Canada’s defense strategy (lose instantly and spend the next two decades conducting decentralized guerrilla warfare and terror attacks across the entirety of the United States) is that it sounds insanely violent but also impossible to carry out. It’s really not.

It's fucking Paul LePage: two-term fucking governor and major league racist.

Robert Kraft brought a happy ending to the Macklemore controversy.

I love how everybody is looking at the AI people like they invented Skynet when they can't even figure out how to not burn a trillion dollars on a machine that is less competent than the chatbot from an ARG in the early 2000's.

me when someone tells me Rahm Emanuel will be a thing again:

Jk rowling has no “moderate” views on trans people. she’s repeatedly smeared trans women as “male porn brained rapists”, reposted vile wojak caricatures, & to this day denies the Nazis’ crimes against trans people. Shes friends & close associates with countless racists, antisemites & anti-feminists,

Aliens is not better. It's a different approach to the same material: an action movie versus a haunted house tale. Saying one is better than the other is like saying a grilled cheese sandwich is better than a peanut butter and jelly. They're both sandwiches, but with very different goals.

Goodnight from Gordon Lams, increasingly worried about the instructions alleged voices from outer space are giving to his wife. Goodnight from Dora Mills, wondering what sort of man leaks tongues of blue fire every time he sings the Fathom Faith Missal. Goodnight from Hookland.

Two things are dawning on me: • 1) 99% of media analysis video essayists, right or left, are—to the marrow of their bones—abjectly terrified of ambiguity, paranoid any gap can be seized by the other as ammunition in the culture war. The leftist version is pointing at…

We're giving away 25 copies of SANDMAN SLIM over on Goodreads! Just stop by and mash the button. (US only) www.goodreads.com/book/show/70...

It’s so funny (and even more telling) that the owners of professional sports teams acknowledge that there’s a problem with having an enormous wealth gap, but it only matters to them when it’s the difference between different magnitudes of billionaire.

there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

brb gonna go wander out and see what the voices in the fog promising me all my hearts desires if I just head into the woods and do them a favor are all about.
