I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

Wait everyone’s on board with the Venezuela shit now? Guys I was offline for like 4 hours and now it’s all both sides in the skyline

This is how I play chess when things kick off. I am not a good chess player.

2026 seems like a good time to real Mary Wollstonecraft on The Vindication of the Rights of Women from 1792. In case any originalists out there start trying to undo things for us. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

If this wasn’t a tipping point then there isn’t one

Isaac Choitiner and Ronan Farrow killing it. I knew Farrow was young, but assumed Choitiner was like 75. He’s younger than me. 🙌🏼

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time. It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

Trying something three different times to see what I learn. Will finish these next week and see which rises to the top.

I woke up still mad about that doofus who spent most of 2025 twerking for any type of peace prize opening up 2026 with a fucking military strike

Woof. Stop ordering delivery for convenience. Just nip out and grab it yourself. And if you need delivery, hopefully you can tip.

Ah yes those pesky advocates. Odious experts. Only rubes from here on out.

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

In the immortal words of Eazy-E: “bitch, stop lyin’”

My fave nine from last year

I am extremely skeptical about AI in education. Does the technology have incredible potential? Possibly. But so do smartphones, and we just banned them because they weren't being used to educate our kids. They were being used to exploit our kids for clicks and attention.

Use this the way the right uses every random purple haired feminist tweet to define the left

I got very drunk and played records waayy too late in 2004 after the election and this song brought my neighbors down to say, “sweetie we get it and this song rocks but we gotta sleep” m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuVP...

Happy New Year. May it be better than this last one. m.youtube.com/watch?v=WUA9...

Send “antifa” to his kids’ school and see what he thinks then

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

Oh shut the fuck up, you dumb bitch

If men want to express their feelings like this go for it (check replies/thread/whole thing) and I haven’t even seen the show yet!

Out of ~60,000 Somalis in Minnesota, 85 (.01%) have been criminally indicted Out of ~4000 people in the Trump regime, 215 (5.4%) have been criminally indicted. Thats a ~40X higher crime rate Not qwhite sure why the people who ignore Trump indictments want you to be upset about Somali indictments🤔

So Trump was trafficking to the trafficker ok I think we are done here

George Conway, Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson and those guys are dragging the Democratic Party to the right because all that matters is that you despise Trump. Even if everything you stood for over twenty years lead to Trump. You just gotta be Never Trump or Used to Be Trump. It’s embarrassing

BREAKING NEWS: Actual facts appear for the first time on "Truth" Social.

This administration being a deadbeat dad is so very on brand

Sheeeeeit. RIP

Tell me you’ve never lived in a neighborhood without saying you’ve never lived in a neighborhood 🤦🏼‍♀️ this happens regularly among people with *limited* resources because we are humans you absolute cretin

A delightful lil treat to end the year

I keep seeing utility suits/jumpsuits with pregnant women as the models and that gotta be the worst combination ever!

I served a chicken breast to Lloyd Bridges and he didn’t really like it but said it was fine

In Alameda County I receive text alerts of when my ballot is received in the mail, and when it’s is received and counted by the registrar and that should be standard.

Lefkes, Greece

What if, and just hear me out, letting children get mad and learn to self-regulate is an important part of childhood development?

Every installment of this MTG rehabilitation tour feels like “Nice Scorpion Regrets Past Stings, Needs Help With River Crossing!”

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

Omfg

It’s really a treat!

For anyone that thought disinformation was a social media problem, it’s great to see all of the legacy media organizations giving best book of the year to a Princeton University press published book full of Covid disinformation.

I’m “terrifying” as a 5’ 3” woman

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

Last two Plein air paintings before we head home

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

The Lensic, Santa Fe, NM

better to go down fighting than get played

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House

It works to shame and make fun of these people!

Worth noting that the student admits that she just threw the thing together in 30 minutes without reading the paper she was supposed to be responding to.
