My personal theory is that every aspect of human nature and society is a result of one or more of the following factors: 1. Dunbar's Number 2. The Dunning-Kruger Effect 3. Impostor Syndrome 4. The Milgram Experiment 5. The Third Wave and...

Sometimes I do forget what has happened in a book I’m reading, or lose a thread or a character. You know what I do? I go back a few chapters and re-read it. These idiots don’t just hate reading, the hate *learning* anything.

Lester “Tuna” Sandwich His elaborate handlebar mustache was just a way to smuggle wax on to the field to doctor the ball with.

FINALLY SOME FUCKING GOOD NEWS

“Real leadership is admitting when you were wrong, not doubling down for decades.” Like denying you knew what a hate symbol was for 17 years? docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This is the guy you’re defending.

It’s a pretty fucking bad decision. And you know what? It DOES say a lot about his competence and trustworthiness. Because he wasn’t bothered by having it, he was bothered by getting found out. He had YEARS to get it removed or covered up. Like Talarico said, who are you when nobody is looking?

23 is not “college age” and even if it were, college students are adults. If your “opposition to Nazism” is so ardent, you should probably recognize what is probably in the top 3 of Nazi symbols. Dude, give me a fucking break.

Wikipedia updated (I did not do this.

The Gamera reboot looks awesome.

Ahahaha no one is watching. Wonder why topics like “the rich are paying their fair share” and “stop smoking weed, you hippies” can’t find an audience?

Not saying there are good billionaires, but… Ted Turner advocated for universal healthcare. He was pro-choice and anti-Zionist. And he created Captain Planet.

When they caught Luke, Han, and Leia, the Ewoks were going to cook and eat them. After the battle of Endor, they’re playing stormtrooper helmets like drums. The tribe ate well that night.

Not sure which is more impressive, how deep a cut this is, or that I’ve seen another car with a different version of it.

Here’s the thing. If you take away the fact that he’s a sexual predator, pedophile, and rapist, Epstein was STILL a massive piece of shit racist & eugenicist, and anyone associated with him is tainted by that as well. www.codastory.com/authoritaria...

Receive and receipt. I literally got both of those wrong typing them. Even after autocorrect fixed the first one and I looked at it.

Many of the politicians who were in that room running scared tonight have devoted much of their lives to ensuring gun violence and the fear of it is a part of every day life for the rest of us.

There are many things that, before he was born, I’d never imagine I’d be saying to my 5 year old son. Such as ”Wait, did you just call me ‘bro’?”

Baffled! Part II: Rebaffled!

Awwww, the cool-my-phone-in-the-pool guy unblocked me.

Merchandise 7X in Coca-Cola is a designer form of cocaine that eliminates the high but retains a measure of the addictive properties. Which is why people can’t stop drinking Coke.

Not sure how this one made it past the notoriously puritan CA DMV…

dudes rock

My son knows two other kids in the 5-10 year age range named Caius. Is there any possible explanation for this other than fucking “Twilight”?

Half of the joy of these is the TV Guide listings above and below.

As the kids say, thread.

I am begging people, stop reposting AI slop that is also a theocracy’s propaganda. “I’m no fan of Iran at all” is a reworded Dril tweet.

What the fuck is an “anti-bedtime leftist?” Reminds me of the definition of Twitter, ironically: “Twitter is 90% someone imagining a guy, tricking themselves into believing that guy exists, and getting mad about it” Also this graph.

Back in the day, my theory was somebody (possibly Snoop) got Dr. Dre really high and Dre made a bet that he could turn the whiniest-sounding white boy into a major star. And Dre later couldn’t “But I was high” out of that bet.

Did Eminem die or something? Why are we all talking about him? I mean, I could search online but I really don’t care that much.

Want a Mac Mini? Can you wait 5 months? I’ve never seen anything like this.

This is the first time Kash Patel has ever been referred to as NOT a little person.

I haven’t had a checkbook in over 15 years, maybe 20.

Barista said "enjoy your coffee". I accidentally replied "you too". Then I made a startling goat noise so the first thing would seem less weird by comparison

Dr. Tingle here dropping some truth. Truthlers.

My ADHD brain when I realize I haven’t eaten in 7 hours.

Yu-gi-oh voice: “I play my Blue Jersey White Crotch card!” This isn’t even the worst result people have posted, but generally indicative of what a lousy idea this is.

Not a coincidence. Nope.

Please stop using the plagiarism machine that’s ruining the environment to dunk on the plagiarism machine that’s ruining the environment.

The aversion to carbon monoxide is so strong you can’t even pump carbon monoxide into rooms to tell on itself and its bosses without people getting mad at you.

There’s a difference between “the ship has sailed” and “I am booking passage on the ship.”

It’s not insulting, it’s just… pointless. LLMs don’t “reckon” or feel or understand. They simply produce text that matches, to the best probability, what a response would be to a prompt. It’s like thinking your car loves you revving the engine because of the “enthusiastic” sound of the engine.

My dear sainted wife: “I think someone at the WBC has a teensy crush on him.”

Wait, so the guy who everybody thought was an asshole but he started doing something good turned out to be still an asshole? pikachu-shocked.png
