My wife wrote a Christmas movie. (She's not on the internet, but she exists, trust me.) Comes out 11/5, feel free to sleep in line in front of your Roku

Quick question: What important police operations were scrambled by the mayor using the basketball court
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
BREAKING: Very long sentence launders obvious lie by following outdated sourcing conventions created for an era when people had a modicum of media literacy, people not born yesterday notice
BREAKING: First lady Melania Trump helps broker a ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky for humanitarian aid and evacuations, the White House says.
I don't think about Hitler very much at all. But this thing where a bunch of guys with toothbrush mustaches quote Carl Shmitt and say stuff like "I dunno, six million??" and "He was right about remigration" and we all have to be like "Let's get back to carried interest" is a bit weird
"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this
If the Roko's Basilisk fake god is benevolent the first person it frames for a crime will be Sam Altman
I worry that the increasing absurdity of these incidents will distract from the serious problems behind them. But man, do these sentences start sounding like Futuristic Mad Libs at a certain point. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...
Does anyone know the mechanism by which AI is supposed to kill us all? Launching the nukes? Designing a disease? An agent mass emails our nudes until we kill ourselves?
AI* has a >10%** chance to kill us all *not the AI we're working on but some other AI that we'll build for sure if you keep funding the company I work at **number I made up based on a still-theoretical technology that nobody has but we all love talking about
Silicon Valley keeps turning out products whose non-sociopathic use cases are like 20th on the list of possibilities. "We've launched a child-sized combo flame thrower and dildo gun. It's for reading"
NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...
I look forward to the rash of federal agents on disability for a mysterious new condition known as 'Toaster Dick' It's Havana Syndrome for guys who leave their gloves on when they piss because they don't wash your hands
"Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon be outfitted with gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks intended to gain compliance from combative individuals." Susan Collins & Congressional Republicans voted to fund all of this.
You try to remember that a lot of people who go to work for the CIA just have a facility with languages and want to spend a few years overseas. Then there are the Elissa Slotkin types who would gladly self-MK Ultra for the chance to kill Castro with a zipgun disguised as a pool noodle
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., says Trump's threat to block FISA reauthorization is like "cutting off your nose to spite your face."
When he was younger and hornier (and before the zeitgeist changed), Simmons would analogize athletes to famous babes, which was dumb but at least legible. Now it's like "Josh Giddey, House, is he in the Stanley Tucci Zone?" and you have to piece the meaning together like it's an ancient scroll
About once every 20 years, everyone who works in investing sorts out their prisoner's dilemma and realizes if they work together they can wish the line up. Then they get bailed out and we all get barrels for pants. No way to solve this
SPACEX OVERTAKES MICROSOFT TO BECOME THE FOURTH BIGGEST COMPANY BY MARKET VALUE
"It's a show based around clueless, insensitive, racist, sexist people that kind of mirrors the United States in a lot of ways." Shout out to Rainn for having an opinion you know is honest because in it's totality it will hit for absolutely no one
Rainn Wilson is calling out a 'bias in the media' toward 'liberal policies' for his belief that 'The Office' could not be made today, saying it would be 'too hard to be as politically incorrect as the show was.'
