Only a matter of time before she dive-bombs me.

Is this hell? I'm pretty sure this is hell.

TV promo: "Brought to you by ChatGP-" Me, blurting involuntarily: "Fuck you"

Always remember: If others find you off-putting, you can always blame it on being cursed with a "specialized mind."

Rough week to tell people that your application to join the FBI finally went through.

The best and the brightest.

“The administration wrote to several grantees working on maternal health that while ‘maternal and infant health are important issues,’ their work ‘does not advance minority health with regards to OMH’s current priority areas.’” we don’t loathe these people enough.

You'd think she'd be nicer to a guy who could write her a Vicodin prescription.

Liberals say the Supreme Court is hastening the end of our democracy. They’re wrong— the Supreme Court is hastening the end of our republic.

"Interior design is my passion"

Donald Trump if he isn’t interior decorating

Tell me again history doesn’t matter

Billions were paid to kill wind projects & now this. Do *any* of this admin's policies make sense to non-criminals? wapo.st/4zFDSA0

I'm renaming Lake Ontario "The Kennedy Center." Then I'm renaming the (current) Kennedy Center "Trump Lake." Then I'm tearing down Trump Lake and building The Ontario Center for American Lakes. Then I'm flooding it and renaming it Lake White House. Then I'm renaming the movie "The Lake House" "Ontar

New: An "expert witness" in a $61 million lawsuit over an industrial explosion that killed three people and destroyed 200 homes used ChatGPT to write his report for the court. He prompted ChatGPT to "show how 3M is 0% at fault for the explosion at Watson Grinding" www.404media.co/show-how-3m-...

I looked her up because it mentioned book publishing and...I need someone else to read this bio. I can't be alone in this experience. shelleylewis.com/about-shelley/

When he was a kid, my dad thought that BM stood for body manure. That man sired me.

This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.

"I think those suckers can make it to the midterms," he added just before blasting a fart and blaming it on a duck he swears has been following him around "for longer than any duck has followed any President."

There's a series on BBC called "Secrets of the Human Body" and, honestly, I'd rather not know any more than I already do. We're pretty gross.

Two Black mayors took cities that the country loves to write off and made them measurably safer. That’s not a fluke. That’s a blueprint. Chicago and Baltimore just posted numbers that should be front-page news. They’re not. We need to talk about why. 🧵 www.theroot.com/opinion-blac...

After Alex Pretti was shot while peacefully witnessing during the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, the US government did not investigate his murder; they investigated groups that were supporting efforts to witness and document, calling them agitators. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

NEW: Harmeet Dhillon swore in 100+ new Civil Rights Division lawyers as "civil rights warriors" for "ALL Americans" — then named exactly none of them. So we did. Court filings let us ID 11. At least 5 arrived with records of misconduct, controversy, or hiring irregularities. 1/

I don’t know what to tell you, man. everyone still over there is essentially melting their brains on contrarianism 24/7. “are scuba divers faking the need for bottled air?” these are addicts

Only just saw Sen Cassidy's remarks from today. So, that was a hostage video, yeah?

There's a guy on the Fisher Cats named Dub Gleed.

We are getting reamed by a billionaire on the Moda Center. Full stop. Dundon wants us to pay nearly double the median cost of stadium renovations in 2025-2026, more than the Delta Center, which had to be converted from basketball to hockey. And he won’t even tell us what he wants the money for.

The funny thing about munitions stockpiles is that they don't wind up depleted if you only use them when you absolutely have to. They're like instant coffee.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

It's about time, although I have the feeling they'll just find someone worse to replace O'Neal. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...
