Gen AI is being used to create CSAM. Gen AI has also been linked to suicides of several kids. As a parent, my reasonable take is that I don't care if the hype is true or not until Gen AI companies stop stealing and are regulated. (also, i don't think the hype is true)

I guarantee if all of you parents out there arrive to the dinner table tonight talking about how you jestermaxxed frame at the office today before bonesmashing your aura, it’ll be over in a week.

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

Believe women when we tell you one of your buddies is a piece of shit. We know

The producer of the show messaged me last night to let me know that the sweet treat included with the VIP ticket is gluten-free. It's a cute little cake pop. 🥰🥹

Look out, world. I'm actually attending a burlesque show that I'm not performing in or helping with.

"Peacefully standing for my belief that other people should have extra-legal violence committed against them", sorry, Bud, no. That's going to fall under the heading of "the paradox of tolerance" asshat.

there’s a longer version here in which our hero follows up by telling him “you can go peacefully fuck yourself” after he claims to be “peacefully standing for my beliefs”

*pronounces plunger like hunger*

There are a few I'm still relatively regularly in touch with but we don't really hang out much, largely because life be lifin'. (for reference, I graduated in 1998)

I regret to inform everyone that doing the physical therapy exercises as instructed actually works.

I regret to inform you that I have gone further down the terrible rabbit hole that is Elsie the Cow. If you squint at enough eBay listings trying to read the words, you find a saga of a marriage gone mad.

My only conclusion from this is i’m not giving my kids full internet access until they’re like 12, with a somewhat developed personality and sense of self that can withstand being jacked into whatever the hell this is

This boy been waiting to haul off on somebody for 14 years and today he got to live the dream and stand on the right side of history. Friday the 13th is the greatest day of his life.

We’ve had a doping scandal, now its time for a poking scandal

Remembering a few people who were crossover of nominal effective altruists and trump voters — where are they now?

everything is terrible but at least there's dog o'clock

“Staff members at the United States’s premier infectious-disease research institute have been instructed to remove the words “biodefense” and “pandemic preparedness” from the institute’s web pages, according to e-mails Nature has obtained.” www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Minneapolis sign game is strong and weird.

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

Glad I don't have children because they'd probably be the exact age to be walking around doing shithead face into the phone camera all day. Fuck you. Get a job. I hate my fake kid. Little piece of shit.

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

"Instead of allowing me to express my opinion, I was assaulted" Good. Let's normalize this shit. Fuck your dogshit opinion. Also that kid who punched him is a real one 😎

over on x the everything app some Chicago high school kid named Danny Spud tried to disrupt his school's anti-ICE protest by yelling about how much he loves ICE and then filmed himself getting walloped by a fellow student lmao the quote tweet making fun of him has 3x the likes

there actually is a higher res version! in colour! from achewood the complete canon

I don’t know what this is called but I’m pretty sure it’s the cure for male loneliness

This is really succinct. Fuck Gavin Newsom. He's a loser. I can tell you right now for certain that I'm not going to vote for him in the 2028 general election BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO BE THE FUCKING NOMINEE.

The difference between choosing not to wear a seat belt and choosing to drive with your eyes closed isn't just about freedom but the result of that freedom affecting others along your way. Antivaxxers don't care if others are run over.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy. I was just writing about this Reagan today and referenced the time he laughed it up with Richard Nixon in 1971, calling a UN delegation from Tanzania monkeys and laughing that they weren't wearing shoes. I am not voting for this guy so find a better candidate

I think all of the dooming about "Newsom will be the nominee" is wildly premature, we haven't even hit the midterms yet, but this guy sucks shit and when primary time comes it will behoove the rest of us to pick an alternative that has a good chance and coalesce

Ro Kanna would rather accuse random innocent dudes of being in the Epstein Files than mention Elon Musk, who is all over them

There was a discussion a while back, when both companies were running ads with GCI characters that the Laughing Cow and Lactaid mascots were dating and it is my most favorite ship ever.

I stand corrected—the Laughing Cow is a French brand, it is not Elsie. Meaning my entire hour-long rabbit hole was based on an inaccuracy. Alas.

I will say that neither of those was as troubling as the ad where Elsie’s daughter worries about her prospects and her mother tells her that she is assured of a job producing healthy Borden milk and cream, including irradiated condensed milk. That led me down ANOTHER rabbit hole.

I vaguely recalled that Elsie was very popular once and thus was prepared for the distressing vintage ads. I was not prepared to encounter the phrase “furry waifu” or the animatronic erotica community.

This morning, I got distracted while eating cheese because I remembered that the laughing cow is named Elsie and is married to Elmer the cow on the glue labels. To doublecheck that I hadn’t hallucinated that, I looked it up and fell down a dark internet rabbit hole.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

i don't think will stencil is a fed but i do think he was created in a lab to be physically incapable of not posting, as an experiment to see how much time people will waste arguing about the economy with a guy who is annoying

Didn’t he run a guy over with his Cybertruck? And get arrested for having drugs while sneaking into a club with a fake ID? Are those the reasons you chose to do a profile on him or were there others?

Hey why did you say *that* and not lead with the fact the he’s currently very literally falling apart because an important part of his looksmaxxing regimen he touts is that he is proudly using crystal meth? Feels like that’s probably an important detail.

Fascinating that he chose looksmaxxing as his thing when he looks like, well...*gestures to picture* You have eyes.

“They were hellbent on not allowing anybody to help him until he was dead,” she said. “I was right there, and they — all of them — made the decision to deny me access to give him the best possible chance of survival.”

An EMT was forced to watch George Floyd suffocate. A doctor was denied access to Renée Good. For all the constant fucking hand wringing about protests blocking access to ambulance care, a thing that does not happen, the pigs kill us and force our healthcare professionals to watch us die publicly

DHS is searching journalist Don Lemon's phone. Every journalist should be outraged.

In light of the proposed "Transgender Bill of Rights", in this thread I want to walk you through research by and about trans, intersex, and gender-expansive people and our lived experiences of unwanted genital cutting vs. gender affirming care. 🧵

This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

do YOU have any experience in art, social, organizing, fundraising, comms, graphic design, & want to help us try to raise an insane amount of money to keep immigrant families in MN housed? I am looking for folks who would want to throw down. having a meeting monday evening. DM me if you're in.
