A lot of tech bros who were upset about pronouns want to confer them on their computers now that they’re dating

Which of these statements can be backed up by the post you're mad at? 1) Dave personally found the Trump lie convincing. 2) Some conservatives who wanted jobs in the admin found his lie convincing.

Chappelle: Y’all are more free than we are Riyadh crowd: Wooooooo Chappelle: Like if I tell jokes about trans people at home people say shit about me Riyadh crowd: booo Chappelle: but you guys clap Riyadh: [applause] Chappelle: you see THAT’s free speech

Human beings on the bottom: Who do those rich fucks think they are, lording over us? The injustice! Human beings upon reaching the top: You know, the view from up here is pretty nice.

If selfishly keeping your horde of jewels rather than giving everyone the same light, could have 100 fold that light, and that Feanor could have too, isn’t a metaphor for billionaires and venture capital…

MILF == "dowager baddie"

A free speech advocate walks into a bar. The bar is owned by an a repressive uthoritarian petrostate that would like him to perform. A rich man walks out of a bar.

NEW COIN ALERT Never forgive them for what they’ve done to the computer.

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.

Possibly one of my favorite sentences in a story: "That is horrifying and I want to go hone,"I said, although I pronounced it, "Ah, I see." Thank you @tkingfisher.com for What Stalks the Deep!

I am the woke ghost who only scares men, all men and only men shall fear me

at the post we have a small team of professional pollsters who have to review the full methodology behind any survey results before we can feature them in a story. they’re super annoying sometimes and i’m also very grateful that we have them

I just need everyone to understand that Gavin Newsom’s social media manager is doing God’s work. Gavin Newsom remains an enormous asshole.

yeah this is child abuse sorry

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

Many people know that Bill Watterson refused to allow any Calvin and Hobbes merchandising. Fewer people know about the part where he went out hunting Calvin and Hobbes cosplayers for sport

not to point at anyone in particular, but I have been in and on many different internet communities of various shapes/sizes/technologies and one mistake I consistently see made is assuming the technical part of running a community is the hard part. it's not. it's the social part. it's moderation.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

Have we stopped to consider that all of BlueSky's moderation controversies are better explained by Silicon Valley ideological blinders + knee-jerk reactions to legal threats than a secret plot to push trans users out to make the place more "respectable"

Budget cuts come for us all. My contract with Amtrak is not being renewed and it's up tomorrow. I'll have more time to work on the Map Center but until it's fully off the ground, I'm a GIS analyst with 12 years of experience in ESRI, open source, education and cartography. #gigeconomy #opentowork

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

This is discussing the Anthropic settlement, and the idea that authors might be able to opt out and get more as a single plaintiff. I'm not quoting this to dunk, but because it's a common misconception that deserves clarification. You are very unlikely to get lawyers to take this on contingency.

I wonder who’s in this movie…

Polearms are gonna make a comeback for robot hunting, this thing is in glaive danger

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject

Some brief thoughts on the Anthropic settlement, and why I think most authors should claim their share of the settlement if they can, inadequate though I think it is: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/10/02/a...

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

one thing i think which informs ezra klein / derek thompson thought is this notion that liberalism won the war of ideas with facts and logic and not like a century and a half of intermittent warfare against the ancien regime(s).

1. It's only feds asking a few questions. What do you have to hide? 2. It's only masked, armed feds asking you to justify your presence. What do you have to hide? 3. It's only masked feds assaulting your home, dragging your naked children out and holding them in a van for hours. Shut up commie.

My writing career summed up in one image:

This is the perfect summary of what I wish for everyone who loves the critters which make me go “…um, no.”

When I read this first, well over a decade ago, it was a curiosity but it also makes you wonder what not just what people you know would do, but what you would do - because can you really know until the moment arrives. Now it is here and I suppose we know.
