Is AI one of the first examples of preshittification? Stay away, folks. The fuckers who are designing this stuff do not care about anyone - possibly not even themselves.

Once again, Variety runs an uncritical advertisement for AI slop dogshit that doesn't even have a distributor. Jay Penske is obviously invested heavily in AI, and the trades are suspect from top to bottom because of such obvious conflicts of interest. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

How I arrived on Bluesky.

Tech companies suddenly decide they can, in fact, moderate content on their platforms after all

Much to Earth Wind & Fire’s chagrin, I forgot the 21st of September.

Very, very exciting news.

The age old questions: Is the crow enormous? Or is the dinosaur far away (and able to jump to tremendous heights)?

When schadenfreude tastes like Cristal...

Or anything, really.

Morning

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home. If you fly, we can’t.

"I hope Andy and his brother are extradited to the UK. I hope Wormwood Scrubs prison is as bad as they say. I hope they are repeatedly tortured, maimed and disfigured beyond all recognition. I hope..."

"The newly appointed Minister for AI is expected to meet with the Minister for NFTs, Lord Blockchain and the Secretary of State for Pogs this afternoon."

Appalling, but not unsurprising. Nor unprecedented, for those of us old enough to remember Ultraviolet.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

If I may paraphrase, if you give that fuckin nimrod $1.77 trillion dollars, you’ll deserve everything you get. Which will be nothing.

When Trump won I didn't necessarily imagine this headline *specifically* but I did imagine that the headlines would look something like this

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Andor too subtle and complicated for Trump to emulate, so he’snow copying The Phantom Menace instead.

Thomas gets taken to a black ops site

If you’re in the area etc.

I do love a multimedia design burn.

YOU WERE THE WORST EVER PM. NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, FUCKWIT.

But I’m sure it’s making their lives so much easier, and better.

Murdoch’s shit rag The Australien ready to take ‘Supercilious Arsehole of the Year’ award for the 61st year in a row.

Resist.

*Feeds DeepMind Ridley Scott's NAPOLEON* Prompt: "Make this about Americans."

Must remember to save this for IBCK worst takes of 2026. Yes it’s only January, but this really feels like it can go the distance.

"Otisburg? OTISBURG?"

I think this sums it up. He is a laughing stock around the world. “A festering carcass of American rot. A rotting pumpkin.” Thank you, Oliver from the UK👏

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work. This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

"We're disappointed we didn't get time to figure out how we can gouge this before it was announced."

Ian wrestling with the big questions.

Ouch…
