The logistics of human dignity is how to win.

I thought I couldn't possibly hate ai more than i already did, but I was wrong (also somebody is buying resumes and coverletters from careers sites): youtu.be/4LfuTI96FqU?...

the band Geese are called that because the guy who sings their songs believes that rock music vocals should sound like a large number of geese honking

happy quarterly block-and-report-spam fundraising deadline text day to all who celebrate

STOP: being assholes to anyone who doesn't volunteer your magic words KEEP: being rough as hell on your class enemies START: learning the fucking difference between your class enemies and normal people who just don't agree with you yet

"here's a thought" is a rhetorical mechanism for stoned 26 year old TAs and annoying guys at the bar. I'd rather we had some third category of person in the job held by the guy who pays somebody to write these bad posts. smug money don't make money.

I don't expect to ever receive an award where they make you give a speech, but if that ever happens and I *don't* recite Eric Cantona's acceptance speech for the 2019 UEFA President's Award, know that I've been replaced with a lookalike youtu.be/INiT1cA_Eqk?...

to the extent this planet has a (human-habitable) future, Republican Party politicians have guaranteed it will be led by China. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

if I didn't have to spend all free time filing insurance claim stuff through asinine user-hostile web interfaces, I'd spend hours trolling the Roko's Basilisk morons by asking how much human hunger could be reduced if 10, 25, 50 or 75 percent of the capital tied up in AI went to direct aid instead.

Someone asked me earlier why I don’t do more than AI, and the answer is that every time I look deeper into AI I see more evidence that this is a massive, unbelievable failure, propped up by webs of debt and ignorance, private capital fully believes there’s massive AI demand that does not exist.

trillions poured into so-called AI revolution but no smart phone keyboard can recognize that it's and its are different words, the simplest imaginable task for a computerized needs-anticipation system. tech dweebs are so far up their own lonely undatable asses I swear to god.

my next novel, which wryly excoriates the pathetic narcissism and hypocrisy of crusty gen-X european reactionaries, centers of a fallen-star Dutch comedian named Wimmin B. Chopin.

what's your Mount Diemore? as in, the Mount Rushmore of people who died in your lifetime but if they had only died before doing the stuff that made them famous the world would be a utopia? mine is Margaret Thatcher, Roger Ailes, Ronald Reagan and Henry Kissinger

this sentence from a Post article yesterday is going to end up being the one line every textbook uses to capture how we Weimar'd (first person to do a 'if we have history books' reply gets a big shiny prize for being so clever)

pleased to announce the debut of my interactive theater project SLEEP NO MAR, where patrons wander a disused industrial space watching Nomar Garciaparra highlights and are urged along to the next room by Joe Buck's voice on the speakers. the bar menu is all web gems themed.

*clicks on thing on screen the way it has always worked *nothing happens but screen acts like it is trying to make the normal thing happen for those of you who _arent_ flung into a homicidal rage by tech malfunctions, I have a question: what's your strain? edibles, flamables, or vapes?

very excited to stop using the internet entirely soon, fuck sam altman and anyone like him

this is the Buttigieg brand. he is a sentient squint-at-horizon, a tastefully stagecrafted mechaplatitude. far from alone in that of course -- it's what a ton of Dem party people have thought of as The Recipe for generations now. PB stands out because he's really, genuinely "good at" that bad thing.

Israel aside (it's a big aside) I really think the post-Biden/Harris Dem primary voter will want Dems who can talk straight, and these Buttigieg answers have been word-shaped air.

used my standard microwave technique to warm up leftover gnocchi & brussels, forgot those are two things that act like heat grenades, immediately scalded my mouth, born to die, world is a fuck, i am trash man etc etc

really hope i'm correct that i've built a life completely devoid of friends/family who would ever wear this kind of thing, because i would absolutely never interact with a person wearing this kind of thing. like, full eviction from my life, forever. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

"ai," which sucks ass in every single consumer-facing application I've encountered even as researchers I respect say the paid trainable versions are genuinely useful in their initial-stages work, is now opt-out jammed into the home screen search bar of every pixel phone.

nonfiction people, what are your nastiest mental conceptions of fiction readers? (to make this a good prompt I should have one ready in reverse, but the truth is we just don't think about y'all at all. with your lil facts.)

bad things come in threes when I'm aware of them. otherwise, bad things just like, come at their own cadence, in ever-largening number, to everyone everywhere. but! when two bad things affect me personally? ooh BABY am I ready to handle the next one via culturally inherited narcissistic aphorism!

raw stubborn stupidity of the sort captured in this blind item quote should be disqualifying in professional politics. I'm constantly baffled that it isn't (which may sound naive, but my 15 years in have zero Hill or party committee experience and those seem to be where stupid sneaks thru most).

In general, if the opposing offense is begging you to stop running a play, you keep running the shit out of that post. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

colson whitehead is delightful as a reader and slightly demoralizing as a writer. because I know I'm capable of sentences like "it was a time of woe for mildew" in describing a character going on a cleaning jag, but like, he then also writes the whole excellent book to go around it? and i just Post?

Lord, please let me never do anything in my life that will cause that preacher to start a thread about me.

🚨NEW: A horror story emerges from hacked flight logs of the March 15 flight to El Salvador: mass disappearances. It's possible there are DOZENS of additional people the Trump admin sent to be imprisoned in El Salvador without trial who are imprisoned there whose names have never been disclosed.
