The usual left v center arguments are already starting up as we come to primary season, and frankly if your position isn't "dismantle every single one of these concentration camps down to the last brick," I don't think you ought to work as a county office clerk, much less a national lawmaker.

i am wrld tuffest Guy i do what evr i want but the y wont let charge littl fee

“let The Onion be The Onion” has turned out to be a very good strategy

punish everyone in the Epstein Files and seize the means of production

6-3 of yr own handpicked* Supreme Court deciding against you seems bad *Heritage Foundation’s Supreme Court but what’s the difference

So rad! So lucky! Thank you, Chris, for including me in this write-up! And alongside Death!!!! A happy Friday indeed

man so Gwen Stefani is like GONE gone, huh. Like possessed by Pazuzu, read the newest Sutter Crane book, accepted an invitation to Carfax Abbey gone

if I were an NBA player I’d be pissed if my team told me to have minor, relatively elective surgery in the middle of the season. I’d be pissed if I was being sat in fourth quarters. I have between 8-16 years to *play a sport professionally* and you want to take some of that away? For draft picks?

And when you compare that to all of the intoxicating expanses of the final act of 2001, or the whimsy of Star Wars, or the curious connections of Close Encounters, you get the idea that maybe having limitless possibilities in this unknowable realm might not always be a good thing.

The film gives you so few actual answers as to what's going on - the most literal information we get is a devious cyborg's vague warnings. And even when the creature is "defeated," it's not because "Oh, we discovered its secret weakness!" It's because we were lucky enough to escape.

have YOU listened to this month’s The Line Break? bsky.app/profile/thel...

remember Les Wexner’s attorney the next time YOU have to talk to police

I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website* I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

NBA tanking panic is funny because they wrote a CBA designed to stop paying veterans and now they’re scrambling when a bunch of teams tank for good rookies

did a light marinade on the Brussels sprouts tonight my dudes you gotta marinate yr veggies

it sucks that "be happy with what you have" is not a human instinct (this can be about parenting or the state of the world, take yr pick)

Hey what's going on with people getting arrested for trying to block AI data centers all over the country It's almost like the AI industry and fascism have the same goals in mind IDK IDK I'm not a doctor

One reason why The Magic School Bus (along with other PBS cartoons) was so important is that it made the act of learning fun. Finding out new things was an adventure in itself.

A good piece, but an additional aspect is nearly everything we do exploits resources in ways we need to avoid. Which is to say the entire foundation / thrust of our technologies is often deeply flawed and does not consider ecosystems, biodiversity, etc in other than an exploitive or Disneyfied way.

happy 58th birthday to Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

“flame on,” I said. “I’m gone,” I said. “I’m so sweet like a nice bon-bon,” I told them.

generations of “drugs are bad” “drug dealers need to put in prison” and now the whole economy runs on gambling apps and the plagiarism machine

“welcome to Substack, brought to you by Wild Turkey 101. Wild Turkey 101: keep an airplane bottle in your pocket at all times. It makes sports, politics, and journalism better!”

obviously I got off substack last year but I did still use the mail service for a while bc I hadn’t figured out new website stuff yet (still not sure if I have but whatever) this year I am not on substack AT ALL and I am getting SO MANY SUDDEN LIKES ON OLD POSTS

“journalism is better when it’s backed by live markets” no it isn’t, that isn’t true

Y'all tolerated the Nazis but maybe the gamble-on-everything grift will finally get you off Substack

anyway between a knight-errant second son getting arrested and the South Korean wanna dictator getting life in prison it’s a banner day for countries not the United States

Prince Andrew is no more or less perverted than anyone else who calls themselves royalty

not “tech,” but the way we understand ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergencies and learning disabilities feels absolute light years ahead of when I was a kid, and there are a whole bunch of new tools that teachers are using in classrooms that help students not all tech* is consumer electronics

tech is more than consumer electronics. I am genuinely excited about: - solar and wind energy tech - the archival, library-esque power of the internet - mRNA vaccines - advancements in cancer treatments

yes, I should’ve said “one of the first Black punk bands,” bc Pure Hell was contemporaneous with Death the big takeaway is that we used to name bands better love and light to you all but I gotta mute this post now

PURE HELL was the first Black punk band. They lasted from 1974-1979, but a falling out with their manager meant their record didn’t come out until 2010. I gave it a listen: www.lazyandentitled.org?p=162658013

did it rain mud last night? Everyone’s car is super gross

it’s not a 90s movie based on a writer yr da likes if it doesn’t have a scene where a woman goes “women exist” and the men act like they’ve all been punched in the nads

I wanna know about the body shop guys who put the decals on the Jurassic Park Jeeps before the park opened. Were they park employees? Were they just some Costa Rican guys shrugging at the dino decal?

🎶 it’s a din-o-saur/ you should run for your life / it’s a din-o-saur 🎶

three chapters (87 pages lol) into N.K. Jemisin’s THE CITY WE BECAME and loving the refutation that a city is embodied by its leader, highest achieving citizen, or biggest celebrity a city is embodied by its people, its everyday average people

I will never write like Vasudeva but man I enjoy the emotional highs they take me to

guitarists, let yr tone by grimy and your recordings be imperfect if people wanted catchy dance pop, Vasudeva would be triple platinum

every time I hear a little kid complaining about nosebleeds I wanna be like “me too, homie, hang in there. It gets better” I mean it got better for me when I started smoking weed but I’d leave that part out. Correlation not causation

undeniably true, no matter whatever functionalities we’ve gotten used to
