Blogged about Matthew McConaughey's deeply exhausting schtick of saying a whole lot about absolutely nothing: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

I wondered who, in 2023, would invite Nathan Fielder to film them in their home, and the movie at least solved that mystery for me. The answer: a medium smart guy who thinks he can outsmart one of the most brilliant minds of our time.

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

I don't even know what to say.

ICE is assaulting, deporting, and killing U.S. citizens under the Trump Administration. How is this happening? And who is responsible? I broke it all down—full video out now.

The USS Allegory coming into port...

Hasan Piker is simply not famous enough to normies to warrant this level of attention! He does not demand these endless statements! Nick Fuentes dined with the president and Republicans just played the “I don’t know her” game. No reason to play into this bad-faith shit.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

Looks like Bluesky just turned on age verification and it appears to be broken... So that's fun.

This birthright ruling is why I just refuse to tolerate all the Democrat garment rending over NY voters choosing progressive candidates. They are incapable of governing in this moment. The politics of appeasement and centrism gets us to a 5-4 decision on the constitutional question.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Hot take: Don't be a fucking scumbag that makes friends with child traffickers and you won't have this problem.

"The United States draws its SPR; the world prices off the suppressed signal. When Cushing hits its operational floor — a matter of weeks at current trajectories — the self-correcting mechanism arrives not gradually but abruptly." Sounds bad. www.carlyle.com/carlyle-comp...

"I believe part of the problem is breaking everyone into groups," argues moron who created The Man Show.

Graham Platner used to be a piece of shit. He still is a piece of shit, but he used to, too.

The push for disgorgement will have to be vast and unhesitating.

My hot take on Orwell: He was good in some ways, bad in others!

There's a huge lane for Dems to run on anticorruption in 2028, but I also think they would do well to take a look at what Zohran's doing with efficiency in NYC as a counter to this. Most people don't think that the federal government is doing fraud, they think it's wasteful.

Pretty cool stuff.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

Taco Tuesday youtu.be/LcqdogN4nYQ?...

Incoming.

This is fucking wild...

lol. Suddenly I'm Pro-Pickleball...

I mean... Seems reasonable.

Playing a lead character in the Harry Potter streaming show but shaking my head the whole time so people know I don’t agree with it.

I expected it,...

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Information on the "$300B refinery": Actually $3B. Attempted under Trump I, company went bankrupt during oil crash. Permitted under Biden. Refines 165k bbl/d of W. Texas oil mostly for sale to Mexico. Still a good thing because of improved environmental impact compared to existing refineries.

as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them

Every AI video feels like a friend who wants to show you their Trump impression. No matter how close it is you’d much rather stop being ther friend.

This runoff is going to get good...

I'd like to say to these people, and this comes from a genuine place of a lesson I myself had to learn: It is all right to have these sorts of thoughts. But they're inside thoughts.

The editor should also resign.

back from my socials sabbatical because for the past few weeks i've been trying to put down words about how it feels to be trans and see what's been happening at my alma mater, texas a&m university. on being trans, texan, and loving things that can't love you back: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

you are literally the one guy who isn't allowed to complain about this

new newsletter post up about all those folks who insist they "can't have an open conversation about AI"

Elon Musk is a petty child and he can't afford Jony Ive.

Normalize paying money for services.
