You hate to have to hand it to the Taliban, but I’m willing to hear them out on this one.

More public transportation so you can get a few beers with the fellas

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

You should read this. The AI bubble is going to burst and it’s going to be an economic disaster when it does.

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

Approps of nothing…I’m listening to this absolute banger.

they called me the victor frankenstein of human resources studies because i wouldn't stop implementing HR policies that challenged orthodoxy like "unlimited laughing gas mondays"

A dozen cops to arrest a woman sitting in a park silently with a sign that says “I Oppose Genocide.” Western institutions continue totally discrediting themselves on behalf of Israel’s final solution in Palestine. It’s disgraceful.

Welcome to the State of Exception, America

Hiked ten miles today in the extremely rural northern tier of Pennsylvania but was also able to find absolutely incredible Mexican food up here. The main reason to love immigrants is basic human dignity, but also I would fight a guerrilla war against MAGA just to be able to get food this good.

@eschatonblog.com My generation (millennial), by contrast, got optimum lead exposure. Enough to be irresponsible and have sex and do drugs in high school/college without seriously anti-social behavior. www.eschatonblog.com/2025/09/gene...

normalize saying "this guy knows what I'm talking about" and pointing at strangers on the bus

hi Trotsky

twenty five years ago today, on September 25, 2000, the United States men's basketball team was playing France in the Sydney Olympics with sixteen minutes left in the second half and the USA up 69-54, Vince Carter stole the ball between him and the rim was 7'2" Frederic Weis then he did this

Broader lessons should be learned from the centrist establishment's mistaken belief they could maintain popular support for Israel by allying themselves with the right and wagging their fingers at the left.

"please rate your package delivery" i mean ill click the smiley face because i assume it impacts the poor bastard who delivered it but i must impress upon you that forcing both him and i into this situation is an act of utter inhumanity and furthermore that god frowns upon your deeds

If I end up black bagged and sent to El Salvador for my tattoo, please do lots of funny posts about it.

Decided to get on some real nostalgic dork shit and downloaded myst.

LLMs don’t have intentions!!! I seriously feel like I’m losing my mind.

The comparison to mid-aughts Calculated Risk is a very apt one.

good morning

Like many films now, this would’ve benefited from being about 25 minutes shorter. Still a good movie though. www.imdb.com/title/tt1579...

“Techno libertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.” 🔥

Let’s. Fucking. Go.

This shit is weird to me. I don’t like movies having titillating sex scenes just for the sake of it, but this weird anhedonic view towards sex in movies is so alien to me. Movies should be at least a little horny!

good morning

There’s no rule that says a Golden Retriever can’t play basketball…but what if there was? Thus begins the opening lines for my screenplay “Air Bud: Class Action Attorney” and yes the dog does drink himself to death. It’s not a happy story it’s the story about how these systems crush us.

It’s tough for me to even put into words how totally preposterous this is. Altman is either a a con artist or completely delusional. There’s no third option. Neither seems great!

Here's your period reminder that "Luddite" does not mean "hates technology/progress". It means "hates how technology/progress benefit only the bosses while the workers get the shaft".

love to do one of the top ten biggest misreads of the moment in all of human history, and then do a tour boasting that i've learned nothing

its

What a bop.

I love you, Philly, but Boston would like a word.

Listen I come from a long line of lapsed Catholics, so this is very much a “not my circus, not my monkeys” situation, but comparing a guy like Kirk to Jesus Christ and doing stunts like this seems legitimately blasphemous to me.

Spent a beautiful afternoon at Ohiopyle - one of the Crown Jewels of the Pennsylvania state park system.

The first public issue Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias ever weighed in on was supporting the Iraq War. Perhaps a sign there that they were ambitious hacks with bad judgement!

@hotsoupski.bsky.social 😘

“ill see you in valhalla” is not something i would ever say in memory of a friend. its something i would say to a $28 Hamburger

Need to revisit this, feel like I messed up not pursuing this, imagine how well this guy is doing right now

*David Attenborough voice* This once-thriving reply thread has been laid bare by an invasive species of libscold. But lurking in the shadows is a remarkable creature; a perfect predator that continuously adapts to stay one step ahead, ensuring that prey walk right into their trap; again, and again.

The real irony of this Iggy post is that HE was actually radicalized into fascism by 2020, he just doesn’t realize it.

Kash Patel looks like he fun as hell until that coke run dry at 4am and y'all the last two still wired & he slam the Russian Roulette pistol on the poker table.

Any Democrat who voted present should face a primary just for showing themselves to be a totally spineless coward.

Hundreds of billions of dollars for this.

Lol. Lmao even.
