When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

It’s hard to decide what part of this story on Marissa Mayer’s new startup is most loathsome, but this “women need a wife or, in other words, a digital servant” construction makes me want to flip over an actual table www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...

Incredible vignette while walking Miga: bent-over old guy in newsboy cap unlocks his giant $70k Genesis SUV while smoking a cigar. His cell phone rings. The custom ringtone? The Godfather theme. He squints at the phone, puts it to his ear, and shouts “WHAT PART OF ‘FUCK EM’ DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND”

the world wide jeb

a couple at this coffee shop is taking a call on speakerphone and I really want to walk by and chime in with a “nothing from my end”

Well I for one am STUNNED that the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office might be less than diligent in enforcing laws. (NOTE: I am NOT stunned. Two sheriffs in my lifetime have gone to prison. And those are just the ones that got caught.)

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

Oceans are now battlefields, Charlie Brown

ok but this is actually an appropriate way to honor Bacchus and i think the ancients would have agreed

if you tell your boss that there are puppies named after potatoes up for adoption we bet they'll let you leave a little early 🥔

I think it's sad the economy is so bad that nobody in this airport can afford headphones

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

graphics beyond the ps4 were a mistake. none of this shit is sustainable anymore. every single Big Game costs one billion dollars to make and has to make 5 billion to be profitable and it also costs $100 nobody has and also needs to have an infinite postgame and also is forgotten in a week

[when the slime mold begins to converge with other slime molds] methinks the lady doth protist too much

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

Ah the skeleton wheelbarrow. A classic

It’s so fucking funny to see this going around the same day as Ramaswamy’s campaign running an ad from Amy Acton’s abusive mother who hasn’t seen her since she was 12.

Always a sign of a healthy society.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

I heard that if elected Abdul El-Sayed will enact Shania Law: every man will be required to feel like a woman

Anyone asking this question doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want the rest of us to understand, what property taxes are for. Obviously, your share of municipal infrastructure costs and services etc don’t end when you pay off your home. They’re as likely to rise as they are to drop. Obviously.

Someone compared building AGI based on LLMs to expectation that breeding ever faster horses will finally create a locomotive.

fuck me up sleepytime bear

America now has second-generation school shooting survivors nypost.com/2026/10/17/u...

Statistically, the average American school is the most dangerous educational institution in the developed world, because school shootings mostly don't exist outside of the United States bsky.app/profile/unsu...

if i take a walk in my little walkable neighborhood to buy fresh flowers and crunchy nectarines and my serenity is punctured by the sound of your tesla flipping in the air, i will blow up your car with a rocket launcher

A reason I don't do any callouts or "name and shame" for games I suspect might be using AI undisclosed is there is the potential for serious reputational harm to developers if I make an accusation and get it wrong, and it's weird a z-list steamer like me has better ethics than the fucking Atlantic!

Look there are so many admirable italian americans to choose from that at some point you just gotta assume it’s not that they don’t believe he did all those horrible things, but that’s one of the things they like about him bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Jay Leno voice: did you see this? These guys with the AI girl friends? You think things are going great till you find out she’s been cheating with your smart fridge.

They’re recreating the Morris Worm, for which Robert Morris was convicted of a felony.

Local news is so important, how else would we learn about beautiful 51 year old women who could be shot at us???

putting detailed instructions in my will for the construction of a mausoleum, the main purpose of which will be to house the contents of my Box of Cables so that visitors may freely borrow / take a USB C cable or a dongle or what have you

We can beat the ai apocalypse with the maintenance guy's keys and a firehose

Defeating skynet by going to the big fucking building and flipping the main disconnect on the exterior transformer

I'm sorry but americans inventing "nothingburger" to describe the absence of something is pretty funny

Same-sex activity has been legal in parts of what would become Italy since 1810 and for the whole of the country since 1890. JFC

it’s a live question how much we should focus on infant mortality vs noninfant mortality in aid but, I cannot stress this enough, the USG’s current answer courtesy of Musk and Rubio is “lmao who cares”

over the weekend, leon went rogue and compromised six or maybe seven miller high lifes that were in the fridge. the incident occurred on saturday night and also involved a red baron frozen pizza. we are conducting a thorough investigation into how this happened
