fun how you can learn about the causes of the 2008 economic crisis, and then see all the same things happening now, and so what. ha! those who do study history are doomed to repeat it also!

Hey guys, just checking in to make sure you've added cocoa mix to your shopping list so you can add a big scoop to your coffee. It's getting chilly outside

Not just any filmmaker, but his filmmaking partner… that he was dating

i admit to being genuinely shocked when i learned that the people in every episode of house hunters (and its endless variants) have already bought a house before a single scene has been filmed

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Being well-liked and charismatic and having policy positions the majority of the electorate agree with might work in New York City but that doesn't mean it will work in places where every day is opposite day

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”

The fact that 30% of our stock market is wrapped up in “help-kids-kill-themselves” technology seems to be an important datapoint in the evolution of late stage capitalism.

There are no words for how evil this is

I keep getting this moronic ad where this guy points his phone at a pipe, tells it he dropped his wedding ring down the drain and asks what to do, and his phone tells him to look in the pipe. The pipe he's pointing it at. So like. How was that helpful.

"Conservative Feminism" is that like... "women should be empowered to be subservient to men, not just in the home but everywhere"?

Packing the Court isn’t enough, they need to give Justice Jackson a gun

the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

What you don’t understand about young men is that they don’t have “checking accounts”, they don’t use “the bank”, instead they hold “hot cupped hands full of stew”

I love the phase when kids only kind of understand the concept of time. Everything that happened in the past happened "yesterday." Or, in Felix's case, "last February."

And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

twelve hungry men

straight-up jury nullification. this guy did it, confessed to it, and the jury instructions explicitly said that if he did it intentionally, it was assault.

impossible to express how humiliating it is to actually take this to court as the border patrol agent who got hit with a sandwich IN his bullet-proof vest. oh i'm sorry, it wasn't a sandwich-proof vest?

your honor, it was a bit

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Dont 👏 dress 👏 up👏as👏Santa👏Claus👏if👏you're 👏not👏Turkish 👏

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

thomas jefferson wrote some vehement denunciations of people like thomas jefferson

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*. on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

I made a big yummy dinner using all ingredients that were about to go bad. I am single-handedly saving the world from food waste

Linus super casually expressed interest in European history, so this is waiting for him when he gets home from school

The kindergarten field trip was adorable. It was at the nature center and the kids got to dig around under logs in the woods and fish around with nets in the lake and find gross little critters to their hearts' content

Speed walking to the school because I'm late to chaperone the kindergarten field trip. It's good to show up to these things already exhausted and out of breath

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

It seems this can't be emphasized enough. Chatbots and LLMs do not make mistakes (excepting any bugs in the code). They do not lie. They do not blackmail or cheat. They follow statistics. When the people who build these systems don't tell you this, they are either deluded or trying to mislead.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

he posted this every time he killed someone that way

Sitting down with my kids while they watch Curious George. 3 year old: "you can't watch it dad. It's called PBS Kids. Not PBS Grownups"

The great replacement isn’t real but all of the available evidence suggests that it would be a great moral and spiritual victory if we did it

No Noise November. everybody shut up

They counted on making Chicago mad and provoking violence but what they did instead was viscerally disgust any human with even the slightest sense of morality and it’s not gonna go the way they want

I went a third of a century accepting, on the testimony of a cartoon, that coyotes chase roadrunners before I ever saw the real thing.

happy 30th birthday to my namesake 🥹

That’s the second reported and sourced story on US soldiers not being fed today

MrBeast hates Zohran because if people have access to basic necessities, it will demolish the Giving People Those Necessities As Part Of A Saw-Inspired Game Show industry

DIS-COURSE DIS-COURSE DIS-COURSE

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

If I was a judge I’d bop people on the noggin with that little wooden hammer all the time

My beautiful, intelligent toddler is crying because he threw a toy off the balcony and now he does not have that toy

Cuomo Kirk looks identical to Tucker Carlson

My neighbor has to go into the office today because the person who approves his WFH ADA accommodation has been furloughed

mmmm my favorite mcdonald’s food, Dore, Caprer, and a side of Cchinges
