"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Every time you use an app or website that has a shitty new feature that doesn’t work, like adding your bank, microtransactions, gambling etc, you can just blame a pedophile for it and you’re gonna be right

Flaming Hydra is such a phenomenal group of writers. For the value, it is hands down the best $36 I've spent over the last year.

Lmao they’re dunzo.

The cringe Boomer-posting authoritarianism is so nauseating. "This reich runs on Disney and Starbucks" ass administration.

I hate it when my friends fight.

good morning

Love being a regular guy with a normal circadian rhythm.

good morning

There are no words to convey the boundlessness of my contempt for Barack Obama.

good morning

Finally watched Heated Rivalry and and I hadn’t realized how much it was straight up “How hot would it be if Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin fucked?” fanfic.

This feral little dwarf is going to look great in a gitmo style orange jumpsuit.

there’s a little too much 5’9” slander on the skyline at the moment for what is a TOTALLY NORMAL HEIGHT for an adult male

A++++++++

I have a piece today in Defector making the case for "more training" for ICE agents. A *lot* more training. defector.com/i-have-a-gre...

Fuck, reading this absolute banger from Alex Pareene made me realize how much I’ve missed him having a regular byline. defector.com/i-have-a-gre...

Can’t wait to support any primary challenger to Senator Lurch.

I talked to one of the r/MassiveCock posters who decided to bring anti-ICE conversations to the subreddit. "... Nothing in life should feel ‘normal’ when these sorts of things are happening in our country. Even porn and sex," he said. Gift link (obviously): tinyurl.com/mr3nua5k

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

If you google “basque space program” the first link is the Wikipedia page about the assassination of Luis Carrero Blanco. Seriously - try it.

I just had two friends and their toddler over for dinner and after three hours, I’m exhausted. Genuinely have no idea how parents do it.

These secret police are murdering people indiscriminately in the streets and these chicken shit Democrats still can’t call to abolish them. The people out there protesting and protecting their communities deserve so much better than these pathetic cowards.

Chin scratches are Trotsky’s favorite. Happiest boy in the world.

I have ingredients to make three different soups and chilis plus enough red wine to poison an elephant. I’m so ready for this blizzard.

I wanted to surprise my friends attending this year’s Premature Ejaculation Society Annual Ball by decorating the hall before they all arrived but unfortunately everyone came early.

people need to stop slandering the noble art of sucking dick

I am once again urging people with Ring cameras to stop being such weird anti-social freaks and get rid of them. You are spying on your own community on behalf of ICE and the cops because you’re afraid to answer your fucking door.

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

Please don't ask me why my brain works like this, because I don't have an answer

David Lynch gone one year today. "It would hardly be out of place to claim Lynch was the great artist of the last half-century or more. I’d be pressed to name more than a handful of others about whom the same could plausibly be said," @coreyatad.com wrote www.welcometohellworld.com/he-wanted-to...

This is going to be so funny.

this is fucking incredible

Mark Zuckerberg belongs in prison.

They’re calling it the most divorced anyone has ever been

CrimeCoin exec: "My product has been tarnished by a criminal!" [wompwomp]

This is an important point that people really need to metabolize about the structure of modern civil wars. And for anyone who doesn’t know about Italy’s Years of Lead, it’s worth at least reading the Wikipedia entry.

If you haven’t seen this yet, what are you doing with your life??? 😂😂😂😂

good morning

Silliest creatures on earth.

costco should be allowed to sell weed. i want the Kirkland Select Kush. a 300-count fish oil pill sized bottle of 5mg gummies would fix this country

Instructions on how to disable Google’s dogshit chatbot on your Gmail account if you’re so inclined.

“Grok” didn’t do anything because it’s fucking software. Totally astonishing how bad most of the media is at writing about large language models.
