I knew they were bad, but holy &!?@ this segment makes me think all of these ai tech bros should be in jail and their companies burned to the ground

for me “doom scrolling” is actually just the pathological hunt for the first piece of news that indicates this whole unbearable moment is about to unravel

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

They’re calling it the Improbable Outcome On Ice.

[reading the news] this country is going down the crapper and we deserve it [watching the olympics] USA USA USA

Uh oh - Casper has the yips #olympics #curling

This Super Bowl halftime show is like watching the opera: the music is cool as shit, I have no idea what they’re saying but I love the narrative, and it’s 1000 times better than the Rolling fucking Stones.

The enemy of my enemy, etc. Christopher Walken in “A View to a Kill”

Always a must-read. One article I keep coming back to because it is such a singular delight…

Heard and saw some random fireworks out our window and thought it might have happened…

Every ICE agent, and every person who supports and funds them deserves no peace in this life or the next. Irredeemable scum.

Suspiciously asking my wife who's funding her anytime she criticizes me

who called it wind chill instead of holy fucking shit what the fuck

What would a squirrel government prioritise? I bet it would be NUTS.

Some words from Mark Vonnegut to get us through this era of bad and stupid people: “We are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is.”

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

Spare some change for one of the best parts of Baltimore! #TheBookThing #BookSky #Reading

A Christmas Story (1983)

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

One of the coolest surprises of our Pakistan trip was finding the Lincoln Corner inside a library in Lahore. The US embassy established 19 “Lincoln Corners” all around the country where anyone can come in and use resources that might not be available elsewhere… #Libraries #Library #booksky
