I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Politicians & lobbying groups have been trying for years to prosecute the low-level dealers, plugs, and even just friends-who-use-together for homicide when someone dies from an overdose. ChatGPT coached a kid to take drugs with it for months then gave medical advice that was so wrong it killed him

Un respiro no?

"[OpenAI] is encouraging users to connect their personal medical records and wellness apps, such as Apple Health, Peloton, MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, and Function" Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this.

Happy David Bowie’s Birthday

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.” 🧵⬇️

These motherfucking morons are gonna start world war 3, jesus christ.

Just found out the actress who played Max's mom on Stranger Things got fired in the midst of a battle with cancer. She was just written off and LOST HER DAMN INSURANCE because the Duffer bros were afraid she'd die or something? I've hated that show since season 2 but FUCK THE DUFFERS.

Daily bunny 3191 did NOT bring a corkscrew

I will forever lament the lack of convenient vending machines in the US and actually convenient, accessible, and affordable convenience stores in smaller areas. It's a small thing, I get that, but it annoys the shit out of me.

Wawa is the convenience store equivalent of Waffle House, I will not elaborate

ME: (puts the kettle on) ANCIENT GREEK CHORUS: he's had too much caffeine today ME: (turns kettle off, visibly annoyed. puts mug away) CHORUS: he can run from the kettle but not from his blood pressure

Calling out to all Wafrn users, are you experiencing any sluggishness or performance issues when using the site? Does something load too slowly? Is something laggy on your device? Does the site become sluggish after some time? Please do tell us! We'll try focusing on performance impr[...]

congrats to the assholes in charge, they finally fucking managed to break my brain with what the fuckery. I cannot even comprehend half of the fuckery afoot here just because SO MUCH is going on at once.

The dipshits in charge of this country invading Venezuela is just the latest coup in a long line of coups in South America done by the dipshits in charge here, and I'm just so fucking over this shit, I want to SCREAM, the US is a failed fucking nation and I'm over it

watching Kitchen Nightmares UK for comfort bc they're familiar and the food Ramsay makes always looks so good

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

Every day everything happens so much.

download your own copy. make this thing samizdat, until CBS is forced to air it.

You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Enchanted Scorpion 's coming to tooowwwnn

It's the last few days before Christmas. Buy safe gifts for kids!

If one more person fucking Bohrs comics me I am going to scream, brought to you by me trying to offer dupes for Starbucks drinks bc fuck Starbucks corpo bullshit, and someone pulling this bc I said "Shop for ingredients at places like a Dollar Tree or the equivalent". Stop being Douches in Wells.

The 60 Minutes story is actually the perfect example that illustrates why it's impossible to change anything from inside an organization when the people with power are completely fucking rotten. All you do is enable and legitimize shitty leadership by staying. You become part of the problem.

Arguing against mass deportations and xenophobia on economic grounds rather than moral grounds is a weird thing to do for the same reason it's weird to argue against eugenics in economic terms rather than moral ones. "Human. Life. Has. Monetary. Value." isn't a good rallying cry.

There is no Alligator Alcatraz without Joe biden's racist 1994 crime bill kick-starting the push to spend the next 30 years continuously and relentlessly building the largest and most expensive prison and police system on earth.

Consider: In that one little red dot, there are 200-400 billion stars. 🤯

Proud of us, y'all! All us here. You reading this, you made it through the day, you did everything you had to do to make it here to this moment. Thank you! I'm so glad you did I'm so glad we're here together. Get some sleep when you can, okay? I love you.

Bari Weiss censoring "60 Minutes", protecting Trump and El Salvador's dictator. But she's such an amateur that it's all exposed, she's caught, as reporter's harsh letter goes public. CBS is crashing. Free link. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

I hope James Ransone is at peace finally. Dude had fucked up shit happen to him, and died by suicide today. God, his poor family, I hope they have the support they need to get through this, and that his kids get any and all help they need to get through this.

And there it is...

tfw you hack so bad that even the hacks won’t cover you

i hate waymo i hate genAI i hate 90% of the things people keep “inventing” and trying to force me to use

Every time I read something about JLo, it convinces me that everyone who gave Mariah Carey shit for the "I don't know her" needs to fucking apologize immediately bc dear GOD, JLo is an asshole to waitstaff by all accounts. BE NICE TO THE PEOPLE WHO HELP YOU.

Oh, look there: an editorial-interference canary.

An attorney couldn't stop using Grok (?!) to help draft filings, producing "a flood of tainted filings" & apparently triggering the implosion of a law firm & 3 lawyers' careers 🤖😵 The court called her misconduct "particularly egregious & prolific" cases.justia.com/federal/dist...

This unredacted stuff was pulled from the files. As if the pics and that passage aren't already out there. They're just Streisand Effect'ing this shit and it is HILARIOUS to me that they think they can scrub this shit from the internet lol

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

My wife was telling me about fujoshi culture in Indonesia, and how many of the gals she went to religious school with were *extremely* into BL while being ambivalent at best about actual queer people and avoiding sapphic stories like the plague. Worth poking at, I'd say

One of my favorite nails songs, and this video is so perfect for it. I can't explain why, it just captures the energy of the song so perfectly. (Not that I'm shocked, mind you, Rob's talent is just Like That, that he kills it every time he sets out to make art.)

NOPE. We're run by a christian nationalist, pedophilic, bigoted death cult. You cannot separate these people from christian nationalism, and we are NOT going to shift blame away from where it belongs.

CW for Epstein, trump, and all that goes along with the two predators. Whoever forgot to redact this is going to get fired at best, but whether it was intentional or not, they're going to be a unnamed legend for this. (explanation starts at 8:36) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKCsE2wMfp0

Simple: they take billions in oil money just like the Republicans. The one “big” Dem bill the IRA only reduced US carbon emissions 7-9% while given huge amounts of drilling rights to oil companies. And liberal news media almost never covers the true rate and severity of climate breakdown.

Some r asking why I’m giving liberals a hard time for climate inaction because “at least they believe the science.” Inaction is still inaction. Believing the science but not heeding it is actually worse. Dem Presidents wouldn’t even declare climate emergency or even give a climate speech. Why?

With a dozen crazy events like this now happening every day I almost admire the discipline it takes for corp news & white liberals to still, even as we cross 1.5C warming, pretend we’re not in a real time global emergency.
